I guess I don't get it. When you terminate the account you can stop accepting payments and auto-trigger a pro-rated refund. Then the consideration is "the service, while you used it" or "the money, while we accepted it", depending on which party you are. Can you expand on that idea?

That sounds right --- the key difference is the refund, which wasn't mentioned in Patrick's original post.

If termination is for cause, you might not have to give a refund (although it'd look better to outsiders, and thus be more defensible in court, if you did give a refund).
