Replit's updated Terms of Service, detected on August 5, 2026, introduce mandatory arbitration with a class action waiver, expand age requirements from unspecified to at least 13 years old (with parental consent if under 18), add new privacy obligations for users publishing content that collects personal data, narrow the company's content licensing scope by removing language authorizing use of content to improve the Service, and add prohibitions on threatening or inciting violence. The agreement also removes language describing the commercial use alternative and restructures account security and prohibited conduct sections.
