The unilateral modification clause means that the terms governing your use of Cash App, including fee structures, dispute resolution procedures, and data practices, can be changed by Block, Inc. without requiring your affirmative re-acceptance beyond continued use of the service.
Interpretive note: The specific notice periods, delivery mechanisms, and categories of changes covered by the revision clause are defined in Section II, which was not fully reproduced in the available document excerpt; Regulation E may impose specific minimum advance notice periods for certain change categories.
The updated terms change how Cash App Tag purchase fees are calculated and disclosed. Rather than a fixed $25 fee, the purchase price now ranges up to $250 and varies based on the specific tag selected and the customer's account type. The terms state that 'the specific fee amount is disclosed before you complete your Cash App Tag purchase,' meaning the final price appears at checkout. Additionally, the terms now extend Cash App Tag eligibility to Children using Sponsored Accounts, whereas the prior language explicitly prohibited Children from requesting, receiving, or using Tags in connection with Sponsored Accounts. You can review the specific fee before completing a purchase, and parents authorizing Sponsored Accounts should understand that their child may now access Cash App Tag functionality within the limitations set by the account sponsor.
View change record →The updated terms introduce a new Bitcoin Auto-Withdrawal feature that lets users authorize recurring, automated transfers of bitcoin from their Cash App balance to an external wallet on a schedule they choose. The terms state that these transfers operate subject to the same daily and rolling transfer limits, identity verification, and compliance screening as manual withdrawals, and are irreversible once broadcast to the blockchain. The revised language also establishes that funds from external sources will be subject to withdrawal restrictions for a minimum of 7 days and as long as 60 days, replacing the prior language stating restrictions would apply 'until fully settled'. Users can cancel or modify Auto-Withdrawal schedules through the app at any time, but Cash App states it cannot stop transfers already initiated at the time it receives a cancellation request.
View change record →The updated terms establish a new pathway for self-employed individuals to accept commercial payments without opening a business account, but impose significant compliance obligations. Users must provide a nine-digit Social Security Number, accurately tag payments as 'Earnings' or 'Personal', and comply with federal tax reporting requirements, including potential 24% backup withholding if SSN is not on file. Misdesignating payments to avoid tax thresholds can result in account suspension or termination. You can enroll in the optional Earn in P2P service by completing identity verification and providing your SSN, but you should consult a tax advisor regarding your specific tax obligations.
