PlanetScale updated its Terms of Service effective 8/25/2026, making three substantive changes to its Beta Features and liability provisions. First, the definition of Beta Features now explicitly includes 'preview' as a designation category. Second, the agreement now states that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) do not apply to Beta Features, whereas this was not previously stated. Third, the liability exemption for infringement claims was restructured: the prior carve-out for 'use of any Beta Features or an older release' was split into two separate items, with Beta Features now grouped with free products and services, and older releases evaluated separately based on whether a newer version would have avoided the infringement.

The updated terms clarify that Service Level Agreements do not apply to Beta Features, and restructure how PlanetScale limits its liability for infringement claims involving beta products and older software versions. These changes formalize existing protections for beta and trial offerings and do not materially alter consumer rights or obligations. Users of beta features should understand that SLA guarantees do not extend to those offerings.

2026-10-11 · Impact summary edited · summary regenerated by summarize_events
Previous text The updated terms clarify that Beta Features—now defined to include services marked as 'beta, trial, preview, non-production' or similar—are provided without warranty and are explicitly excluded from PlanetScale's service level agreements. Customers using trial or experimental services should expect no uptime guarantees and no liability protection beyond the stated exclusions. No specific action is required by users; this change formalizes existing practices around experimental offerings.

Previous text PlanetScale's Terms of Service were updated on August 26, 2026, with four specific revisions to how Beta Features and liability limitations are defined. The definition of Beta Features now includes "preview" as an example designation; the terms now explicitly state that service level agreements (SLAs) do not apply to Beta Features; and the liability exemption for infringement claims was restructured to consolidate references to Beta Features and free products into a single category. These changes clarify the status and limitations of experimental or trial services.
