AWS Bedrock updated its AWS Service Terms on May 23, 2026, adding explicit language stating that Reserved Cache Nodes and Amazon DynamoDB Reserved Capacity purchases are noncancellable and remain owed for the full selected term even if the agreement is terminated. The updated terms also clarify that Amazon Web Services, Inc. is the contracting party for Kiro subscriptions purchased through Stripe, and establish that Amazon Bedrock abuse detection mechanisms apply to Kiro use. For Kiro Free Tier users specifically, the terms now authorize AWS to store inputs for up to 60 days to detect agreement violations and improve detection capabilities.
The updated terms establish that Reserved Cache Nodes and Amazon DynamoDB Reserved Capacity purchases are noncancellable obligations, and you will owe the full amount charged for the duration of the term you selected, even if the AWS agreement is terminated. For Kiro Free Tier users, the revised policy authorizes AWS to store your inputs for up to 60 days for purposes of detecting agreement violations and improving detection capabilities. You can review your existing reserved capacity commitments and their terms at any time, but the updated language does not provide an opt-out mechanism for this noncancellation obligation.
The updated terms establish that reserved capacity purchases create binding noncancellable payment obligations that persist even if the AWS agreement terminates, removing any termination-based exit mechanism for these commitments. The explicit authorization to retain Kiro Free Tier inputs for 60 days establishes a data retention and processing practice that may affect privacy compliance obligations for organizations processing regulated data through Kiro.
→ Review your existing Reserved Capacity commitments and their selected terms to understand the full duration and cost of your noncancellable obligation.
→ If you use Kiro Free Tier, review the updated input retention disclosure and determine whether the 60-day retention period aligns with your data handling practices or applicable privacy regulations.
→ Reserved Capacity charges will continue to accrue and be owed in full for the entire selected term regardless of whether the AWS agreement is terminated.
→ Kiro Free Tier inputs will be retained by AWS for up to 60 days for abuse detection and system improvement as stated in the updated terms.

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
Once you purchase reserved capacity, you cannot cancel it and must pay for the full commitment period no matter what happens.
AWS will keep your Kiro Free Tier inputs for 60 days to check for rule violations and to get better at detecting violations.
AWS clarified contractual terms governing reserved capacity purchasing and Kiro service delivery. The change explicitly establishes that reserved capacity commitments are noncancellable and remain owed even upon agreement termination, which creates binding financial obligations and removes any termination-based exit pathway for these products. The addition of explicit 60-day input retention for Kiro Free Tier abuse detection may engage privacy and data retention frameworks (GDPR, CCPA) depending on user jurisdiction and the characterization of inputs as personal data. Organizations offering AWS services to end customers should evaluate whether this noncancellation language affects their own customer communications or support obligations around reserved capacity commitments.
GDPR (if Kiro inputs contain personal data of EU residents), CCPA (if inputs contain California resident data), FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices standards if noncancellation terms were not clearly disclosed in original purchase documentation)
