What it is

Cerebras can delete your account, change the service, or shut it down entirely at any time, without warning, and for any reason — including no reason at all.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This clause removes any expectation of service continuity — if Cerebras terminates your account or discontinues the Service, you have no right to prior notice, no right to compensation, and no guaranteed ability to export your data before access is cut off.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Any developer or business that has built workflows, products, or infrastructure on Cerebras's platform could lose access overnight with no contractual recourse or compensation.

View original clause language
Cerebras reserves the right to modify or discontinue your User Account or your use of the Site at any time for any reason or no reason at all. We may, with or without prior notice, change the Service, stop providing the Service or features of the Service to you or to Users generally or create usage limits for the Service.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision may implicate the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC), which prohibits terms enabling unilateral contract termination without reasonable notice in B2C agreements; enforcement falls under national consumer protection authorities in EU member states. Under California Consumer Protection laws (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17200 et seq.), unfair or deceptive business practices — including removal of access without notice — may be actionable, enforced by the California AG. FTC Act Section 5 is also relevant where termination is used in a manner that constitutes an unfair practice.
