RapidAPI added a new section defining GenAI Features and establishing terms for their use. The updated terms state that GenAI Features are provided on an 'AS IS' and 'AS AVAILABLE' basis with no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose. Users are made solely responsible for evaluating outputs before acting on them, and the terms explicitly prohibit submitting personal data to any chatbot functionality, with RapidAPI disclaiming liability for unauthorized personal data submission.

3 new obligations

Consumers: You are responsible for checking whether AI-generated answers are correct before you use them.

Consumers: You cannot input personal information into the chatbot, and you are responsible for making sure this does not happen.

Consumers: Chatbot answers are informational only and should not be treated as professional advice.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms introduce new restrictions and disclaimers around GenAI Features. RapidAPI provides these features with no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, legality, or fitness for any purpose, and users assume sole responsibility for evaluating outputs before acting on them. The terms explicitly prohibit submitting personal data to chatbot functionality and disclaim all liability for unauthorized personal data submission. Users relying on chatbot outputs for decisions must independently verify information, as the terms state chatbot responses are generated algorithmically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.

What you can do

→ Review whether you use RapidAPI's GenAI Features and assess whether the 'AS IS' no-warranty model aligns with your use case.

→ If you use chatbot functionality, implement controls to prevent personal data submission and ensure your team understands the prohibition.

→ Update your own customer-facing terms to disclose that GenAI outputs require independent verification and carry no accuracy guarantees.

The updated terms establish a new GenAI Features category available through the Service and specify the operational and liability framework governing their use. GenAI Features are provided on an 'as is, as available' basis with no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose. Under the revised terms, users assume sole responsibility for evaluating and verifying any outputs generated by GenAI Features before taking action based on them. Where chatbot functionality is included, the terms specify that chatbot responses are informational only, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and users must not submit personal data to chatbots.
