Vercel updated its Terms of Service dated October 19, 2026, introducing a new section on Managed Teams and Managed Accounts that establishes procedures for organizations to manage employee accounts provisioned with their email domains. The updated terms now permit Vercel to suspend an individual account and provision a new managed account if a Managed Team requires domain-based account management, with notification and a reasonable period to migrate content before potential termination of the suspended account. The revised language also clarifies that managed accounts are governed by separate terms between the Managed Team owner and Vercel, not by the primary Terms of Service.

1 new obligation

Consumers: If your work email is on a domain your employer has verified with Vercel, Vercel can suspend your personal account and create a new one managed by your employer.

Consumers: Before terminating your suspended account, Vercel will notify you and give you time to move your content to a different email address.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms establish a new framework for Managed Teams and Managed Accounts. If your account uses an email address on a domain provisioned or verified by a Managed Team (such as your work email), Vercel may suspend your personal account and provision a new managed account governed by separate terms between your employer and Vercel, not by this Agreement. Vercel will notify you at that email address and allow a reasonable period to move your content to a different email address before potentially terminating the suspended account. Your managed account will be governed by the terms between the Managed Team owner and Vercel, while any account you maintain at a different email address continues to be governed by this Agreement.

What you can do

→ Review the updated Managed Teams and Managed Accounts section if your account uses a work email on a domain provisioned or verified by your employer.

→ If your account is suspended and converted to a managed account, use the reasonable period provided to migrate your content to a different email address if you wish to maintain a personal account.
