Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

If your account is suspended or terminated, you may lose access to all of your stored data with no prior warning, which could disrupt business operations or result in permanent data loss.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Airtable's discretion to terminate or suspend accounts without notice or cause means users and businesses relying on the platform for operational data could lose access instantly; the terms also state Airtable is not responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized access or account changes made by administrators.
