We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.
OpenAI retains essentially unilateral termination rights with minimal procedural constraints, which means paid subscribers can lose access to ChatGPT Plus or API services without a defined notice period, appeal process, or automatic refund entitlement.
OpenAI's Terms of Use affect consumers primarily through the default permission for OpenAI to use conversation data — including prompts and AI outputs — to improve its AI models, which means sensitive or personal information shared with ChatGPT may be retained and analyzed beyond the immediate session. Minors under 13 are prohibited from using the services, and those aged 13–17 require verifiable parental consent, but the adequacy of age verification mechanisms is not detailed in the terms themselves. You can opt out of having your conversations used for model training by navigating to your ChatGPT account settings and disabling the 'Improve the model for everyone' toggle.
