What it is

W&B can change the terms of this agreement whenever it wants; if you keep using the platform after they post changes, you've legally agreed to the new terms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If W&B changes its terms in ways that are unfavorable to you — such as expanding how your data is used or reducing service guarantees — your only option to avoid agreeing is to stop using the platform entirely and close your account.

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.
  • Close Your Account
    Within 30 days
    If W&B posts material changes to the MSA that you do not accept, you must stop using the platform and contact W&B support at support@wandb.com to initiate account closure before the effective date of the changes to avoid being bound by the new terms.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

W&B can materially change your rights, pricing structure, data handling practices, or other key terms without requiring your explicit consent — simply by posting an update online.

View original clause language
W&B reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time. W&B will provide notice of any material modifications by posting the updated Agreement on the W&B website and, where required, by sending an email to the address associated with your account. Your continued use of the Services following notice of any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the modified Agreement.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification clauses are evaluated under California contract law (requirement of consideration and mutual assent); courts have scrutinized 'continued use equals acceptance' mechanisms. Under GDPR Art. 7, consent to data processing must be freely given, specific, and as easy to withdraw as to give — a modification-by-continued-use mechanism for data processing changes may not satisfy this standard. CCPA similarly requires clear notice of material changes to data practices. (2)
