This clause gives Grammarly broad discretion to terminate access to the service, which is particularly relevant for users who depend on Grammarly for work or academic writing and could lose access without prior notice.
Interpretive note: The practical application of 'any reason' termination authority may be constrained in some jurisdictions, particularly EU member states with consumer contract fairness requirements for paid services.
Your access to Grammarly — including any documents, settings, or premium subscription benefits — can be suspended or terminated at Grammarly's discretion, potentially without advance notice. Premium subscribers who lose access due to termination should review refund entitlements under the applicable subscription terms.

"Grammarly reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services at any time, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.— Excerpt from Grammarly's Grammarly Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Broad termination-at-will clauses in consumer service agreements engage FTC consumer protection standards and, for EU users, may interact with the Digital Services Act and consumer contract fairness requirements. Where termination results in loss of paid subscription benefits without refund, consumer protection authorities may evaluate whether adequate remedies are available. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Termination-at-discretion clauses are common in SaaS consumer agreements, but the breadth of 'any reason' without defined appeal or reinstatement processes creates practical exposure for users who rely on the platform. Enterprise accounts may have separately negotiated SLA and termination provisions that provide greater protections. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU consumer protection law and the UK Consumer Rights Act may require that termination clauses provide reasonable notice and proportionate grounds, particularly for paid subscriptions. Consumer contracts regulators in multiple EU jurisdictions scrutinize overly broad termination-at-will clauses. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise contracts should include explicit termination-for-cause standards, cure periods, and transition assistance obligations. Reliance on the consumer ToS termination clause without enterprise-specific protections creates operational risk for organizations that have integrated Grammarly into business workflows. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations deploying Grammarly should document their dependency on the service and assess business continuity planning in the event of account suspension. Procurement teams should negotiate data export rights upon termination to ensure user content and settings can be retrieved if access is revoked.
