In an update detected on August 3, 2026, Perplexity AI restructured the navigation and header of its API Terms of Service document, removing footer links and reorganizing section numbering. The substantive terms remained materially unchanged; the document continues to state that Perplexity may use Usage Data for any lawful purpose without remuneration to customers, and maintains its liability caps, confidentiality provisions, and warranty disclaimers. The change is primarily editorial and organizational rather than substantive.
This change is primarily a document reorganization and does not materially alter the substantive terms governing API use. The underlying provisions regarding data usage, liability limitations, confidentiality, and fees remain as stated in the prior version. API customers should continue to operate under the same contractual framework.
