AWS Bedrock updated its AWS Service Terms on July 1, 2026, removing several AWS IQ marketplace provisions and adding new language around AWS Config third-party recorders. The change eliminates the 24-month exclusivity requirement for using AWS IQ to pay providers, removes obligations to revoke provider access immediately upon violations, and removes a blanket release of claims related to AWS IQ. The update adds explicit authorization for AWS to use and store Config Content to develop and improve AWS Config and related security services, with an opt-out mechanism available through AWS Organizations.
Consumers: You are no longer required to pay AWS IQ providers exclusively through the AWS IQ marketplace for 24 months after you meet them.
Consumers: AWS can now use your configuration data to improve its services and may store it outside your home region, but you can opt out through AWS Organizations.
Consumers: You are no longer asked to waive all claims and damages related to your use of AWS IQ.
The updated terms remove the requirement that customers use AWS IQ exclusively for 24 months after identifying a provider through the marketplace, and eliminate the blanket release of claims related to AWS IQ use. For AWS Config users who enable third-party recorders, the revised terms authorize AWS to use and store configuration data to develop and improve AWS Config and related security services, including storage in AWS regions outside the region where you use Config. You can opt out of this data use by configuring an AI services opt-out policy through AWS Organizations.
→ If you use AWS Config with third-party recorders, review whether the data-use authorization aligns with your data governance requirements.
→ Configure an AWS Organizations AI services opt-out policy if you prefer to prevent AWS from using Config data for service improvement.
