What it is

Cursor can change, limit, or shut down any part of the Service at any time without telling you first, and you cannot hold Cursor liable for any impact this has, even if you paid for the affected features.

This analysis describes what Cursor's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Anysphere to modify or discontinue paid features without notice and without liability, which means users relying on specific paid functionalities have limited contractual recourse if those features are changed or removed.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of an absolute no-liability clause for changes to paid features may be limited under applicable consumer protection law in certain jurisdictions, including EU member states and California.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
