Sourcegraph restructured how its Terms of Service are organized and applied. Previously, the document listed separate term variants for different customer types (Sourcegraph general users, AI Tools users, Professional Services, Government users). The updated structure consolidates a primary Sourcegraph Terms of Service with separate Supplemental Terms that apply conditionally based on customer type and agreement date. When a Supplemental Term conflicts with the base terms, the Supplemental Term controls on that subject matter.
The updated structure clarifies which terms apply to different customer groups by introducing a modular system where base Sourcegraph Terms of Service apply universally, and Supplemental Terms apply conditionally (for example, to customers who agreed to terms before February 15, 2024, or those using Professional Services). When a Supplemental Term conflicts with the base terms, the Supplemental Term controls on that specific subject. This is a structural reorganization rather than a substantive change to rights or obligations.
The updated structure establishes a clear hierarchy for which terms apply to different customer groups and situations. Previously, the terms listed separate variants but used an index approach; the new system explicitly states that Supplemental Terms override the base Sourcegraph Terms of Service when they conflict. This affects how users and businesses interpret their specific contractual obligations based on their customer type and agreement date.
Where a Supplemental Term conflicts with the base Sourcegraph Terms of Service, the Supplemental Term controls on that subject matter.
Supplemental Terms apply based on specific conditions: Professional Services (if Order Form includes them), AI Tools (if agreement predates February 15, 2024 or Order Form specifies), Government users (for U.S. Government employees/contractors), and others.
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
Sourcegraph reorganized its Terms of Service documentation on June 4, 2026 from a single-document index model to a modular structure with a base Sourcegraph Terms of Service and conditional Supplemental Terms. This is a documentation and governance structure change, not a substantive modification to customer rights, data handling, or compliance obligations. No new regulatory engagement appears created by this reorganization. The change clarifies term application hierarchy and makes it explicit that Supplemental Terms override base terms on conflicting provisions.
