Event Summary

Cohere's Usage Policy page underwent a navigation and documentation restructuring on June 10, 2026. The change added extensive new sections to the documentation structure, including integrations, deployment options, tutorials, and expanded model documentation. The core policy language itself (the sentence describing the scope of the Usage Policy) remained substantively unchanged, though it was repositioned within a significantly expanded documentation architecture.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The substantive language governing Cohere Services usage remains unchanged. The Usage Policy's core scope and requirements continue to apply to all Cohere products and services, software, applications, and APIs as previously stated. The change reflects a documentation reorganization rather than a modification of policy terms.

Governance Analysis

The substantive Usage Policy language remains intact and operational. This change reflects documentation architecture improvements rather than policy term modifications, so ongoing compliance with the existing policy requirements is not affected.

Key Clauses Affected

Policy scope statement

Remained substantively unchanged; Usage Policy continues to apply to all Cohere products, services, models, software, applications, and APIs.
