OpenRouter corrected a typographical error in its restriction on accessing Restricted Models, changing 'will now allow' to 'will not allow' in the usage restrictions clause. The updated language now correctly states that users agree not to allow their Authorized Users or customers to use the Service to access Restricted Models through circumvention methods. Additionally, the document underwent organizational restructuring, with cross-references updated from Section 18 to Section 19 in the liability limitation clause, reflecting a renumbering of the terms document.
The updated terms correct what appears to have been a typographical error in the usage restrictions clause. The previous version stated users 'will now allow' Authorized Users or customers to access Restricted Models through circumvention, which contradicted the stated policy intent. The corrected language states users 'will not allow' such access, aligning the written terms with the stated restriction. This is a clarification rather than a substantive policy change, as the corrected language reflects what the terms appear to have intended to authorize from the beginning.
Corrected language now clearly states users will not allow circumvention of access safeguards, aligning written terms with stated policy intent
