Summary

This document sets the rules for using DeepL's Services: DeepL keeps your Training Data solely for your own use and cannot apply it to other customers, but on the free API Developer plan, DeepL can store your content permanently with no time limit. Your free trial automatically becomes a paid subscription when it ends, so you will be charged without taking any further action. If you send personal data through the Services, you must sign a separate data processing agreement with DeepL first.

Analysis

DeepL's Terms and Conditions establish the core rights and obligations governing customer access to DeepL's Services. The Agreement imposes a mutual aggregate liability cap tied to charges paid in the preceding 12-month period and a mutual exclusion of consequential, indirect, and economic losses. Customers bear full indemnification obligations for third-party IP or rights claims arising from Customer Content or Customer Training Data, as well as full liability for Internal Users' conduct. DeepL restricts use of Customer Training Data exclusively to that customer's own translations or improvements, and requires immediate execution of a data processing agreement before any personal data is transmitted through the Services. Customers on the free API Developer plan are subject to perpetual storage of submitted and processed content, free trials auto-convert to paid subscriptions, and customers alone bear responsibility for determining whether their use constitutes a high-risk application under the EU AI Act.

What this means for you

As an individual user, the most immediate practical effect is that a free trial converts automatically to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period — charges begin without any additional action required. On the free API Developer plan, any content you submit and any translation output DeepL produces can be stored by DeepL permanently. Your liability to DeepL is capped at what you paid in the 12 months before a claim, but you cannot recover lost profits, lost data, or indirect losses from DeepL. If a modification to the Services impacts your ability to access or use them in more than a minor way, you have the right to terminate the Agreement free of charge by giving 30 days' notice.

What changed DeepL's updated terms clarify how third-party applications, particularly AI assistants using DeepL's Model Context Protocol (MCP), can access translation services. The revised language specifies that MCP usage authenticated with a customer's API key constitutes API use and counts toward API usage limits and billing. Additionally, the terms now explicitly authorize DeepL to automatically update desktop applications for security and bug fixes.
Why this matters The updated terms clarify that when AI assistants or third-party applications access DeepL's translation services through the MCP protocol using a customer's API credentials, that usage counts toward the customer's API usage limits and billing. The terms also authorize DeepL to automatically update its desktop applications without prior notice when updates are necessary for security or bug fixes. These changes do not alter the core service or pricing structure but establish clearer operational boundaries around how integrations are metered and how software updates will be managed.
