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.

What this means for you

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.

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.

What you can do
