Perplexity AI's API Terms of Service was updated in an update detected on August 15, 2026 to reorganize its documentation structure. The BEFORE version referenced 'Perplexity Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max Terms and Conditions' as a single item, while the AFTER version separates this into 'Perplexity Enterprise Agentic-Specific Terms', 'Perplexity Enterprise Comet-Specific Terms', and 'Perplexity Enterprise Terms and Conditions' as three distinct linked documents. This change clarifies that different product variants (Agentic and Comet) have specific governing terms alongside a general Enterprise Terms document.
The updated documentation structure clarifies which terms govern different Perplexity API product variants. Users of the Agentic Research and Sonar APIs will now consult separate product-specific terms documents (Agentic-Specific Terms and Comet-Specific Terms) in addition to the general Enterprise Terms and Conditions. This organizational change improves document clarity by explicitly separating product-variant requirements.
Terms of Service now references three separate Enterprise terms documents instead of one combined document.
