Yes, unearned fees are revenue paid in advance by the customer, but services have not been given yet. (E.G: If you own apartments, and a new family pays you in advance rent for a whole year, that money will only be yours as the months pass by. You as the apartment manager owes the family the service which has been already paid for. If family decides do withdraw from the contract then you owe them their money).
