Mistral AI revised its consumer Terms of Service effective August 5, 2026, making several operational changes to its product scope and API access rules. The company removed language stating that consumers could use APIs for personal needs and clarified that Mistral AI Studio and API access are now limited to business customers only. The terms also renamed 'Third-Party Services' to 'Third-Party Connectors' throughout, added a new section on 'Third-Party Products' (such as third-party models) with explicit disclaimers that these are not Mistral AI products and are provided 'as is', and removed API credit amounts from the subscription review checklist.
Consumers outside eea: Consumers can no longer use Mistral AI's APIs under these terms; only business customers have API access rights.
Consumers outside eea: Consumers no longer have contractual authorization to access Mistral AI Studio under the consumer terms.
Consumers outside eea: When using third-party models or products through Mistral AI, you have no warranty or liability protection from Mistral AI beyond what law requires.
The updated terms restrict API access to business customers only; consumers outside the EEA can no longer use Mistral AI's APIs for personal needs. Mistral AI Studio is also now limited to business customers and excluded from the consumer terms. Additionally, the terms now explicitly disclaim third-party models and connectors as not Mistral AI products and provide them 'as is' without warranties beyond legal guarantees that cannot be excluded. Consumers who were previously using APIs for personal purposes will no longer have contractual authorization to do so under these terms.
→ If you require API access, contact Mistral AI to determine whether you qualify as a business customer or need to transition to a business account.
→ Review any applications or services you use that rely on Mistral AI API access to understand whether they will be affected by this restriction.
