Clause-Level Changes

New Provisions Added
App Deletion Does Not Cancel Subscription
Medium

This provision extracted as standalone clause emphasizes that users cannot cancel subscriptions through account deletion, strengthening Telegram's ability to continue charging.

Full clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Provisions Removed
Recurring Payment Authorization for Premium
Medium

The removal of the explicit recurring payment authorization language (with the account deletion clause moved to separate provision) may obscure the automatic charge authorization, though the substance remains in revised provisions.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
AI Scraping and Data Scraping Prohibition
Medium

Removal of explicit AI and data scraping prohibition from the main Terms of Service (delegating it to separate terms) reduces visibility and enforcement clarity for platform users regarding data extraction restrictions.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Provisions Modified
No-Refund Policy for Premium Subscriptions
Medium

Policy significantly condensed; removed language about losing Premium access at subscription end and clarified subscription remains valid until end of purchased duration rather than billing period.
