This clause establishes Venmo's authority to unilaterally discontinue service availability and restrict access to held funds without requiring cause other than Venmo's reasonable suspicion. The provision creates operational conditions under which account access and financial holdings may be restricted based on Venmo's determination.
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.
Users operate under terms that permit Venmo to suspend or terminate their account and withhold funds upon Venmo's determination that fraud or agreement violations have occurred or are reasonably suspected. The terms do not require Venmo to establish grounds for termination beyond its sole discretion, though fund withholding is limited to legally required situations or reasonable fraud suspicion.
