DeepL can change, pause, or shut down any part of its service at any time, and may restrict your access without necessarily giving you advance warning or compensation.
DeepL can modify or remove features you rely on — including API endpoints or translation capabilities — potentially without advance notice, which creates operational risk for businesses that have built workflows or products around DeepL's service.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification rights in standard terms are subject to scrutiny under German BGB § 307 (reasonableness test for standard terms) and EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms. For consumer contracts, the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU requires that material changes be communicated in advance and that consumers have the right to terminate without penalty if changes are detrimental. The EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Digital Services Act (DSA) may impose additional obligations on significant platform changes affecting business users.
