A customer's sanctions status — including a status acquired after the Agreement is signed — is a trigger for immediate termination, with no cure period.
Interpretive note: The excerpt characterises the termination as being 'for good cause', which may carry legal significance in the governing jurisdiction but is treated here as a secondary descriptor rather than the primary proposition.
If you are or become a Sanctioned Party at any point, DeepL is entitled to end the Agreement immediately by written notice.
