The Cancellation Friction Index

Buyers cancel online by going to their Gumroad Library (gumroad.com/library), clicking the product, and selecting Cancel, or via the Manage Membership page linked from their purchase receipt. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; access continues until then. No prorated refund is issued for the remaining portion of the current billing cycle (ToS §8.2(b)). Refunds on one-time purchases are governed by individual creator policies, with Gumroad able to intervene after 30 days of creator non-response.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
