The updated terms authorize Gumroad to place holds on supplier earnings indefinitely based on suspected violations, elevated chargeback risk, misleading marketing, incomplete identity verification, or payment partner requirements—without specifying a maximum hold period or guaranteed release timeline. Held funds remain in account balances but do not accrue interest and are not applied to Gumroad's benefit. The company will notify suppliers where practicable, but may withhold notice if it would compromise investigations or risk controls. Suppliers retain the ability to continue selling even while funds are held, but cannot access those earnings until Gumroad determines the basis for the hold has been resolved to its reasonable satisfaction.
