“Adyen has the right to terminate the Merchant Agreement and/or stop the processing or Settlement of Transactions for Merchant immediately in part or in whole if: The provision of Merchant's Services/Products is reasonably suspected by Adyen to be in breach with legislation...”
This analysis describes what Adyen's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
A reasonable suspicion—not a confirmed finding—of legal non-compliance is sufficient for Adyen to immediately cut off the Merchant's payment processing, in whole or in part.
Interpretive note: The excerpt lists multiple independent triggers for immediate termination (e.g., insolvency). Only the legislation-breach trigger is stated in the canonical claim; insolvency and any other triggers are recorded in omitted_material.
If Adyen reasonably suspects a legal breach, the Merchant's access to payment processing and settlement can be halted or terminated immediately without awaiting confirmation.
