==The problem with Section 14.2== The controversy deepened when users analyzed the legal justification for the termination. Section 14.2 of Pluralsight's updated Individual Terms of Use states: "Pluralsight may, at its sole discretion, terminate these Terms or your account on the Service, or suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you arising from such termination."<ref>"Updated Pluralsight Terms of Use (September 2024)." Retrieved from [https://legal.pluralsight.com/policies?name=individual-terms-of-use#14-term-termination-and-modification-of-the-service https://legal.pluralsight.com/policies?name=individual-terms-of-use] Retrieved January 15, 2025.</ref> Critics highlighted several key issues with this clause: #'''[[Retroactively amended purchase|Retroactive application]]''': The clause in question appears in updated terms that did not exist when users purchased their "lifetime" subscriptions. Archived versions of the terms from May 1, 2023, did not include this language, which suggests the clause was added only recently to facilitate this decision.<ref>"Pluralsight Terms of Use (May 2023)." Retrieved from https://learn.pluralsight.com/content/dam/pluralsight2/legal/pluralsight-individual-terms-of-use-v-2.pdf Retrieved January 15, 2025.</ref> #'''Lack of accountability''': By allowing for termination "for any reason or no reason," the clause effectively nullifies the concept of a "lifetime" license and raises concerns about the enforceability of consumer agreements. #'''Erosion of consumer trust''': Many users argue that the retroactive imposition of such a clause undermines the integrity of Pluralsight's promises, particularly for those who bought "lifetime" licenses in good faith.
