Proton terms update (Oct 9, 2026): Proton can discontinue services or features with or without notice

· Detected by QuietlyChanged's daily check

Proton's Terms of Service now say "Last modified: October 09, 2026," replacing the June 23, 2026 version, and Section 4 ("Limited warranties and liability") opens differently. The old opening said Proton "does not make any warranty about the reliability of the Services or the security of user data, despite best efforts," and that the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." That paragraph is gone. In its place: "The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or discontinue any of our Services, or any feature or component thereof, with or without notice to you." Proton says it "will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice of a material discontinuation" where practicable, but "has no obligation to provide such notice, and is not liable to you or any third party" for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation, to the extent the law allows. The terms cover Proton Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN, Pass, Meet, and Docs. Nothing else in the document changed, including the liability cap of $100 or the amount you paid.

Who it affects

Proton Mail, Drive, VPN, Pass, and other Proton users, especially paid subscribers and anyone who relies on a specific Proton app or feature
