If a payment acquirer fails to comply with § 47-22-402, the merchant may terminate the agreement; provided, however, prior to terminating the agreement, the merchant shall provide the payment acquirer written notice of the payment acquirer’s failure to comply with § 47-22-402. The notice required by this subsection (a) shall specify the information the merchant requests under § 47-22-402. If the agreement sets out the manner by which notice pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be given, the terms of the agreement as to the manner in which the notice shall be given shall control.
