The ElevenLabs Usage Policy was updated on May 21, 2026 with a minor navigation menu change. The revised navigation added 'Speech Engine' as a discrete product listing within the API documentation section, positioned between 'Agents API' and 'Dubbing API'. This is a structural navigation update with no material change to the policy's substantive terms, obligations, or consumer rights.
This change does not materially affect consumer rights, obligations, or the terms under which users operate. The updated navigation menu adds 'Speech Engine' as a distinct API product category, but the underlying Usage Policy terms remain unchanged. No consumer action is required.
This change has no material operational significance. It is a product navigation reorganization that does not modify the substantive terms of service, consumer rights, obligations, or policy enforcement mechanisms.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change is a navigation and product menu reorganization with no substantive policy impact. No compliance obligations are created, modified, or eliminated. No regulatory review is indicated.

This new provision shifts primary compliance burden to users and creates explicit liability disclaimers for ElevenLabs across multiple legal domains.
This provision elevates and separates violence/harassment restrictions from the broader prohibited content category with explicit reference to protected characteristics discrimination.
This new provision specifically targets coordinated inauthentic behavior and influence operations, addressing systematic misuse beyond individual false statements.
The removal of this explicit intimate content prohibition may indicate reduced specificity in sexual content protections, now folded into broader provisions.
This explicit IP protection provision was removed and replaced with the broader 'User Responsibility for Legal Compliance' clause, reducing ElevenLabs' specific IP enforcement commitments.
This provision was replaced by the more policy-focused 'Prohibited Use in Automated Disinformation Systems', narrowing scope from general rate-limiting enforcement to political misuse only.
The removal of this explicit law enforcement cooperation statement may reduce transparency regarding data sharing with authorities.
The provision was streamlined to remove distinction between public and private figures, simplified language from 'explicit prior consent' to 'consent', and added explicit prohibition on false attribution statements.
The provision was narrowed to focus specifically on electoral/political disinformation with concrete examples (voters, candidates, officials) rather than broader deception categories.
The provision was substantially expanded to explicitly include 'with or without notice', broaden grounds to include harm to users/third parties/public, and emphasize 'sole discretion' applies to 'any other reason'.
The provision was expanded to include impersonation of entities (not just persons), add explicit fraud language, and specify financial fraud and identity verification circumvention as concrete prohibited uses.
This provision was extracted and specialized from the broader 'Prohibited Harmful and Illegal Content' rule, with explicit terminology (CSAM) and specific age threshold added for clarity.
