New provision shifts liability for account breaches and unauthorized use to customers and exempts DeepL from responsibility for damages resulting from credential mismanagement.
Removal of explicit content license provision may reduce transparency about DeepL's rights to process and store customer translation data.
Removal of 'good cause' requirement for DeepL termination, now replaced by unilateral discretionary termination language in updated Acceptable Use provision, eliminates customer procedural protections.
Changed from 'DeepL has informed the customer of changed conditions' to customer self-directed changes via account settings, shifting responsibility from DeepL notification to user action.
Separated pricing changes into dedicated provision with specific 30-day notice requirement and explicit cancellation right added; removed vague 'reasonable notice' standard and removed acceptance-by-continued-use mechanism for price changes.
Added a EUR 100 minimum liability floor, expanded scope language from 'damages' to 'any claims', and added 'to the extent permitted by applicable law' qualifier.
Added carve-out clause allowing mandatory provisions of customer's country of residence law to override Cologne jurisdiction in specified cases.
Broadened scope from 'texts' and 'AI systems' to 'content' and 'AI models' and expanded from 'translation' to 'translation or other processing' to cover expanded service offerings.
Removed specific prohibitions on unauthorized access, reverse engineering, and automated access; added 'infringes third-party rights' and 'in its sole discretion' language; separated termination mechanism and changed from 'good cause' requirement to unilateral discretionary suspension/termination.
