Summary

Grammarly's Terms of Service establish the contractual terms governing use of Grammarly's writing assistant, browser extension, desktop app, and related products. The agreement grants Grammarly a royalty-free license to use text and content submitted through its services. The agreement establishes mandatory individual arbitration for disputes and includes a class action waiver, with an opt-out mechanism available within 30 days of initial acceptance.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs access to and use of Grammarly's software products and services, establishing a binding legal agreement between Grammarly Inc. and individual or organizational users on the basis of acceptance through account creation or continued use. The terms authorize Grammarly to use user-submitted content (referred to as 'User Content') to provide and improve its services, assert a broad royalty-free license over that content, require binding individual arbitration for most disputes with a class action waiver, and permit Grammarly to modify or terminate accounts at its discretion with limited notice obligations. The content license grant — described as 'worldwide, royalty-free' — and the arbitration and class action waiver clauses represent provisions that, while common in SaaS agreements, carry material implications for users whose writing includes sensitive, confidential, or proprietary material processed through the service; the agreement's assertion of these rights may interact with applicable law differently depending on jurisdiction and the nature of the content processed. The terms engage GDPR (for EU/EEA users), CCPA (for California residents), and general FTC consumer protection frameworks; the privacy policy is incorporated by reference and governs data handling in more detail. Compliance teams evaluating enterprise or educational deployments should note the arbitration carve-out for injunctive relief, the unilateral modification clause, and the absence of explicit HIPAA or FERPA commitments within the terms document itself.
