Gumroad revised its pre-arbitration dispute resolution process. Previously, parties were required to hold a personal meeting or videoconference before arbitration could commence. The updated terms eliminate the requirement for any meeting, telephone call, or videoconference; instead, the initiating party must send written notice, and Gumroad has 45 days to respond in writing. The dispute resolution period now ends after 60 days from notice receipt or when the parties resolve the dispute in writing, whichever is earlier, at which point either party may commence arbitration.
The updated terms modify the pre-arbitration dispute resolution process. Previously, Gumroad and users were required to meet in person or via videoconference before arbitration could proceed. Under the revised terms, no meeting is required. Instead, the party initiating a dispute must send written notice to Gumroad, which has 45 days to respond in writing. The dispute resolution process ends after 60 days from notice receipt or when the parties resolve the dispute in writing, whichever is earlier. At that point, either party may commence arbitration. This change streamlines the process by eliminating the requirement for synchronous communication while maintaining a structured written notice and response period.
Replaced mandatory in-person or videoconference meetings with written notice and 45-day response window; dispute resolution period ends after 60 days or when parties resolve in writing.
