In general, it can be said that contract terms can vary greatly depending on the nature of your business. Low-risk merchant accounts typically enjoy short term agreements such as month-to-month, while more long term contracts are typical of high-risk merchant accounts.
An early termination fee (ETF) may apply to either type of merchant account, so be sure to read the fine print on contracts. PaymentCloud claims to have no early termination fee (ETF). However, there have been several online reviews from previous and potential merchants saying ETFs do exist with this provider.
