Event Summary

Perplexity AI modified one sentence in their API Terms of Service on May 27, 2026, changing a cross-reference from Section 8 to Section 9 in the liability limitations clause. The change corrects which section governs indemnification obligations that are excluded from the liability cap. This appears to be a technical correction to internal document structure rather than a substantive change to consumer rights or obligations.
