We will respond to Your request, confirming closure of Your Account and the date on which such closure will be effective, within a reasonable time, provided that You continue to assume responsibility for all activity on Your Account until such closure has been carried out by us (at which point the Terms of Use shall terminate).
13.2 When You request closure of Your Account under paragraph 13.1 we will, subject to paragraph 13.3, return any outstanding balance in Your Account to You.
13.3 Upon any termination of Your Account under this paragraph 13 we shall be entitled (without limiting our rights under paragraph 13.6) to withhold, from the repayment of the outstanding balance on Your Account, any money: (a) pursuant to paragraph 12 (Collusion, Cheating, Fraud and Criminal Activity); (b) pursuant to paragraph 20 (Breach of the Terms of Use); © as otherwise provided by the Terms of Use (including, as appropriate, paragraph 5.4); or (d) as required by law or regulation.
