Event Summary

Together AI added two new sentences to its Terms of Service on May 21, 2026 that clarify payment clearing procedures for credits and prepaid balances. The updated terms now state that credits funded via ACH, wire transfer, or other delayed-settlement methods will not be available for use until the company has received and confirmed clearance of the underlying funds. The company is also not responsible for delays in service access resulting from payment processing time, or for failed, reversed, or returned payments.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The updated terms establish that prepaid credits funded via ACH, wire transfer, or other delayed-settlement payment methods will not be available for use until the company confirms receipt and clearance of the underlying funds. The terms also state that the company is not responsible for any service access delays that result from the time required for payments to clear, or for any failed, reversed, or returned payments. This means users who choose these payment methods should expect a processing delay before credits are usable.

Governance Analysis

The updated terms establish explicit timelines and liability allocation for delayed-settlement payment methods. Users paying via ACH or wire transfer should understand that credits will not be immediately available and that service interruptions during the clearing period are not company responsibility, affecting when prepaid balances can be used.

Available Actions

Review payment method options and select immediate-settlement methods if service access timing is critical.

Plan prepaid credit purchases to account for ACH and wire transfer clearing delays before needing service access.

If No Action Is Taken

Prepaid credits funded via ACH or wire transfer will not be available for use until the company confirms fund clearance.

Service access delays during payment processing are not company responsibility under the updated terms.

Key Clauses Affected

Payment clearing requirements

Credits via ACH, wire, or delayed-settlement methods are unavailable until fund clearance is confirmed.

Payment processing liability

Company is not responsible for service delays from payment processing time or for failed, reversed, or returned payments.

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

Together AI added clarifying language around payment processing timelines and liability for delayed-settlement payment methods. This is a standard commercial practice for SaaS platforms handling ACH and wire transfers. The language allocates risk for payment processing delays and failed transactions to the user. No novel regulatory exposure appears created; the change aligns with typical merchant practices in the payments and SaaS sectors. Internal review is not required unless the organization's vendor management framework requires explicit documentation of payment clearing procedures.
