Change Summary
In an update detected on August 19, 2026, Gumroad added a new section (11.4) governing what happens to unpaid earnings when creators change their payout country or payout method. The updated terms state that unpaid amounts held in third-party payment accounts specific to a creator's current payout country cannot be transferred to a different country or different payout method, and will be forfeited if the change takes effect. However, Gumroad will notify creators of the amount that would be forfeited before processing the change and will not proceed until the creator confirms; amounts held in Gumroad's own accounts are not forfeited and remain payable.

190If Gumroad can transfer the affected amount to the new connected account, Gumroad will transfer it instead of forfeiting it.

192Gumroad will not process a country change while a payout to Supplier is in progress.
193A forfeiture under this Section 11.4 is not a hold under Section 11.3(c).
194Forfeited amounts are not later released as held funds.
195This Section 11.4 does not limit Gumroad's rights under Section 11.3. 12.
