If you withdraw your agreement to receive communications electronically, Afterpay can restrict or close your account, meaning opting out of electronic notices is not a consequence-free choice.
This analysis describes what Afterpay's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
E-SIGN Act requirements generally permit consumers to withdraw electronic consent, but this clause ties that withdrawal to potential account closure, which creates a practical disincentive that may limit the meaningful exercise of that right.
Interpretive note: Whether the account restriction consequence of electronic consent withdrawal satisfies E-SIGN Act requirements may depend on regulatory interpretation and whether adequate paper delivery alternatives are offered.
Exercising your legal right to withdraw electronic communications consent could result in Afterpay restricting or closing your account, which would prevent you from making new purchases and could affect active payment plans.
