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
If you delete your account, we aim to delete your personal information from our servers within 30 days.
We keep some data until you delete your Google Account, such as information about how often you use Gemini Apps.
If you decide to delete your Profile, it will no longer be visible to other Grindr users and your personal information will generally be deleted within 28 days.
"If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Anysphere reserves the right to delete your account and any information associated with your account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
