This provision establishes that customers who commit to a subscription term have no contractual right to cancel or receive a refund outside of a W&B material breach scenario, including in cases of service dissatisfaction, organizational change, or underutilization.
The updated agreement no longer includes language stating that a previously executed written agreement between Customer and W&B would govern and supersede the master service agreement. This removal eliminates explicit recognition of contractual hierarchy that may have applied to customers with signed agreements predating the master terms. The practical effect depends on whether such customers have separate agreements in place and how contract interpretation and applicable law would treat the relationship between a posted master agreement and a signed customer agreement absent explicit supersession language.
View change record →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.
View change record →Under this clause, fees paid for W&B subscriptions are not refundable and payment obligations cannot be cancelled mid-term except in the specific scenario where W&B materially breaches the agreement and fails to cure within 30 days.

"All payment obligations are non-cancellable, and all fees are non-refundable, except as expressly provided in Section 6(d).Excerpt from Weights & Biases's Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Non-refundable subscription terms in SaaS agreements interact with state consumer protection statutes, including California's automatic renewal law, which imposes specific disclosure and cancellation requirements for automatically renewing subscriptions. The FTC's Negative Option Rule may also be relevant to automatic renewal terms where the renewal conditions are not prominently disclosed. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The combination of non-refundable fees, non-cancellable payment obligations, and a three-day cancellation notice window for auto-renewal creates a contractual structure that limits Customer flexibility during the subscription term. The pro-rata reimbursement right on Customer-initiated termination for breach is a material carve-out. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's automatic renewal law imposes specific affirmative consent and cancellation requirements; the three-day cancellation notice window should be evaluated for compliance with applicable state law. EU customers subject to consumer protection directives may have additional cancellation rights that could limit enforceability of the non-refundable provision. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams negotiating multi-year or high-value Order Forms should assess whether the non-refundable, non-cancellable structure is acceptable given organizational risk tolerance and budget flexibility requirements. The absence of a termination for convenience right for paid subscriptions is a material contractual limitation. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Finance and procurement teams should ensure auto-renewal dates are tracked and that cancellation requests are submitted within the three-day window where applicable. Legal teams should assess whether state automatic renewal disclosure requirements are satisfied by the agreement's current structure.
