Vercel updated its Terms of Service on June 2, 2026 to add new provisions governing AI functionality and third-party tools. The updated terms establish that users are legally responsible for configuring AI features and third-party tools that take autonomous actions on their behalf, must monitor their settings and output for compliance, and authorize Vercel to use AI-generated actions according to user settings. Users are also now responsible for costs incurred through third-party tools' use of the platform, and Vercel disclaims liability for losses arising from autonomous AI or third-party tool actions. The terms also expanded Team account management to allow Team owners to add email addresses to Teams and remove them from personal accounts.
Developers: You must set up AI features safely before using them, including approval workflows and permission controls.
Developers: You are responsible for checking and maintaining AI settings on an ongoing basis.
Developers: You must check AI output for accuracy and appropriateness, and conduct human review when required by law or your own policies.
Developers: You pay for all platform usage caused by third-party tools or AI agents you authorize.
Developers: You accept legal responsibility for whatever autonomous actions AI or third-party tools do based on your settings.
The updated terms establish that users are legally responsible for configuring autonomous AI features and third-party tools, must monitor their settings and output, and are bound by the autonomous actions those tools take on their behalf. Users also bear the cost of any services those third-party tools consume through the Vercel platform. The terms state that Vercel is not responsible for loss, damage, or liability arising from AI or third-party tool actions. You can manage this responsibility by carefully configuring settings, permissions, and safeguards before enabling AI features or third-party integrations, and by establishing human review processes for AI-generated output.
