Medium May 13, 2026

The updated Terms of Service no longer include the previous statement that services would become inaccessible from certain locations starting September 1st, 2025. This removal means the geographic restriction that was previously announced in the agreement is no longer formally stated in the current terms. Users who were affected by or concerned about the prior restriction should review current documentation to confirm whether any geographic limitations remain in effect.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

W&B can cut off your access and delete your experiment data without prior notice if they determine you've violated any term, creating operational risk for teams relying on W&B for continuous ML development and production model management.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Regularly export your experiment logs, model artifacts, and datasets from the W&B platform using its built-in export tools to maintain independent backups, as W&B may delete this data after account termination without a defined notice period.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Termination provisions in SaaS agreements are primarily governed by California contract law. Where personal data is involved, GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure) and Art. 20 (data portability) require that customer data be returned or deleted in a manner that respects data subject rights — termination policies must not impede these rights. CCPA §1798.105 provides California consumers a right to deletion that must be honored even post-termination. (2)
