The clause establishes the operational conditions under which account data is removed from the service platform. It creates two separate termination pathways: one automatic upon failed payment processing, and one discretionary after a defined inactivity period, each with different notice requirements.
Users must maintain valid payment methods to prevent account deletion upon renewal, and accounts without paid status will be terminated after one year of inactivity, resulting in permanent loss of associated account data. The terms specify that advance notice applies only to inactivity-based termination, not payment-failure scenarios.
How other platforms handle this
Those posts and profile information may remain on such sites even after you delete your account.
We may continue to retain some information even after you delete your account if we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable laws.
After you submit a request to delete your account, we initiate a deletion process to safely and completely remove your data from our servers or retain it only in anonymized form.
"If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Anysphere reserves the right to delete your account and any information associated with your account without any liability to you... We also may terminate your account if it has been inactive for over a year and you do not have a paid account. If we do, we will provide you with advance notice.Excerpt from Cursor's Terms of Service
