This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“Each Party's total aggregate liability under this Agreement in any 12-month period...shall be limited to the charges paid or payable during the 12 months immediately preceding the date on which the claim arose.”
“Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold DeepL harmless against any and all third-party claims...arising out of or in connection with: a) DeepL's use of Customer's Content and/or Customer Training Data in accordance with this Agreement infringes a third party's intellectual property or other rights; or b) Customer's breach of this Agreement.”
“Customer shall be fully liable for any use of the Services by Internal Users and shall ensure that Internal Users are aware of and respect any and all restrictions for the use of Services set out in this Agreement.”
“Customer is solely responsible for evaluating whether their specific use of the Services may constitute a high-risk use under the EU AI Act, and for complying with any resulting requirements applicable to Customer.”
“If a modification impacts Customer's ability to access or use the Services in more than a minor way ("Negative Change"), Customer has the right to terminate the Agreement free of charge with a notice period of 30 days. In this case, Customer will be refunded fees already paid proportionally.”
“DeepL shall only make use of Customer Training Data exclusively in connection with the translations or improvements of the respective Customer.”
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.
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.
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.
