They may sound similar, but a cancellation fee is for voluntarily ending a contract, while a penalty fee is for breaking a promise.

So can penalty fees actually be reduced? Yes, they can!

Even though the fee seemed large, the court did not reduce it due to common practice at the time.

This major decision changed the rule — penalty fees can now be reduced just like damages.
