    If you don't want to pay a withdrawal or cancellation fee, then look for an agent whose terms match your wants.

    So I think we've now gone around in a complete circle.

    FWIW, I always try to avoid EAs who charge termination fees / withdrawal fees - because it often feels like paying them for failing.

    Agreed.
    EAs are 'grown-ups' and they're business people.

    And far too many consumers sign legal contracts of all kinds without reading the small print. As their focus is elsewhere. Then expect to be able to terminate on a whim.
