The agreement authorizes HubSpot to suspend Customer and Authorized User access to subscription services without prior notice in cases of material breach (including non-payment), security incidents, or legal or governmental requirements.

This provision establishes that HubSpot holds the right to suspend service access unilaterally upon triggering conditions including non-payment and security incidents, which creates operational dependency risk for customers whose business processes rely on continuous HubSpot platform access.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify whether a cure period or advance notice is required before suspension is triggered by non-payment, and the scope of 'reasonable evidence of security threats' is not defined, creating ambiguity about the threshold for suspension.
The updated terms now explicitly state that AI is embedded throughout HubSpot's platform and is foundational to how subscription services operate. The agreement permits HubSpot to use customer data to train AI models, subject to contractual obligations. You can opt out of having your data used to train AI models by updating your settings in your HubSpot account.
View change record →Under this clause, HubSpot may suspend access to subscription services without advance notice if the Customer is in material breach, including non-payment of fees, or if a security incident is detected. Customers operating marketing, sales, or service workflows through HubSpot should account for this suspension right in their operational continuity planning.

"HubSpot may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, temporarily suspend Customer's and any Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Subscription Services if: (i) Customer or any Authorized User is in material breach of this Agreement, including failure to pay fees; (ii) there is reasonable evidence of unauthorized access, security threats, or other incidents; or (iii) required by law or requested by governmental or regulatory authorities.Excerpt from HubSpot's Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Service suspension provisions are standard in commercial SaaS agreements. For EU customers, the principle of proportionality under applicable contract law and the GDPR's requirements for data portability and deletion upon termination may interact with suspension scenarios. If suspension results in inability to respond to data subject requests, the Customer as controller retains obligations under GDPR regardless of platform access. Irish contract law (for EU customers) and Massachusetts commercial law (for US customers) govern the enforceability of unilateral suspension rights. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The suspension right triggered by non-payment creates an operational risk for customers with payment processing delays or billing disputes. The security incident trigger is broadly stated and does not specify a notification procedure or time limit for suspension, which may leave customers without adequate notice of access interruption. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU customers should assess whether suspension of access during a data subject rights request period creates a compliance gap under GDPR. Customers in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare) may face additional obligations to maintain data access continuity that conflict with a suspension scenario. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should review whether the agreement includes a cure period before suspension for payment-related breaches, as the document language does not specify one in this provision. Business continuity plans should account for the possibility of service suspension and ensure that critical data can be exported or accessed independently of the HubSpot platform. The absence of a specified notice requirement before suspension warrants negotiation for high-dependency deployments. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should establish data export and backup procedures for HubSpot data to mitigate operational risk from a potential suspension. Legal teams should confirm whether the agreement provides a cure period for payment defaults before suspension takes effect, and whether dispute resolution mechanisms are available to contest a suspension decision.
