This is the Terms and Conditions document for DeepL Pro, governing paid subscriptions to DeepL's translation, writing, voice, and API services offered by DeepL SE, a German company. The agreement establishes automatic subscription renewal with charges applied at the end of each billing cycle, subject to cancellation before the renewal date, and authorizes DeepL to adjust subscription prices with 30 days' advance notice. The agreement also limits DeepL's total liability to the amount paid by the user in the 12 months preceding any claim, except where German law mandates otherwise for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This document governs the contractual relationship between DeepL SE (a German company) and subscribers to DeepL Pro services, including the Translator, Write, Voice, and API products, on the legal basis of a subscription agreement subject to German law. The agreement states that subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period, that DeepL may adjust prices with 30 days' notice, that users may be liable for unauthorized use by third parties granted access under their account, and that DeepL limits its liability to the amount paid by the user in the preceding 12 months except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreement asserts a broad right to terminate or suspend accounts for violations of acceptable use provisions, and the liability cap and governing law clauses (German law, courts of Cologne) are operationally distinct for non-German users, though applicable consumer protection law in a user's jurisdiction of residence may limit the enforceability of certain terms including governing law and liability limitation clauses. The document engages GDPR as the primary regulatory framework, given DeepL SE's status as a German data controller, and also engages the EU Consumer Rights Directive with respect to withdrawal rights and the EU's distance-selling rules for subscription services; US-based users should note that German governing law and the Cologne jurisdiction clause may conflict with applicable state consumer protection statutes, creating jurisdiction-dependent exposure. Material compliance considerations include the adequacy of notice mechanisms for price changes, the scope of acceptable use restrictions relative to API users and enterprise accounts, and the interaction of the auto-renewal mechanism with applicable distance-selling and consumer protection regulations across EU member states and US jurisdictions.
