Figma can suspend or terminate your account and access to all your stored design files at any time, with or without notice, if Figma believes you have violated its terms or for any other reason at its discretion.

This clause establishes Figma's unilateral termination authority while creating a conditional refund obligation based on the reason for termination and Figma's legal assessment. The provision creates asymmetric contractual authority, as it permits Figma to end the service relationship without advance notice while imposing a refund requirement only under specified circumstances.
The removal of the Subprocessors list link makes it less convenient for users, particularly enterprise and EU-based customers who rely on this information for data protection compliance, to verify which third parties Figma engages to process their data. While the subprocessor information may still exist on Figma's website, removing the direct link from the Terms of Service reduces accessibility and transparency. Enterprise customers and those subject to GDPR may need to contact Figma directly to access current subprocessor information.

"Figma may terminate Customer's access to and use of the Services, at Figma's sole discretion, at any time and without notice or liability to Customer, but if Figma cancels Customer's subscription and the termination is not due to Customer's breach of these Terms, Figma will provide to Customer a pro rata refund of pre-paid unused fees unless, in our reasonable discretion, Figma is not legally permitted to do so.— Excerpt from Figma's Figma Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral termination clauses in consumer contracts are subject to assessment under state unfair contract terms law and, for EEA users, the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC). GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure) and Art. 20 (data portability) create obligations on Figma to provide users access to their personal data even upon termination, separate from the contractual termination right. California's automatic renewal law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17600) may impose additional notice obligations for paid subscription terminations. 2)
