Hi,
Background:
The sentences are describing some currect things (not the past).
Question:
Why they use present tense in the first part of each sentence, but use past tense in the 2nd part of each sentence ?
Sentences:
If you decide to terminate the contract this year, the money you would receive would be smaller than if you continued to invest until 2015.
As you intend to terminate this year, the amount reduced would be more than 20%
Note:
Once the contract is terminated, the customer can receive money immediately.
Thanks
