Account closure without advance notice means you could lose access to your Venmo balance and payment history with little warning, and fund withholding after closure could leave you without access to money you are owed.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify minimum notice periods or define what constitutes reasonable grounds for withholding funds after closure, creating ambiguity about practical application.
The agreement requires users to resolve disputes with Venmo through binding individual arbitration and waives the right to participate in class action lawsuits, which limits the procedural options available if a dispute arises. The terms also authorize Venmo to share transaction data, bank account details, and personal identifiers with PayPal affiliates, payment processors, fraud prevention services, and marketing partners. You can opt out of the arbitration clause within 30 days of first accepting the agreement by mailing a written opt-out notice to Venmo's legal department at the address specified in the arbitration section.
