Runway updated its Terms of Service to explicitly reference a separate Usage Policy document that now governs acceptable content and service use. The revised terms state that users must comply with the Agreement, the Usage Policy, and applicable law. The change consolidates content restrictions and prohibited uses into a dedicated policy rather than listing them inline in the main terms, and updates the dispute resolution contact email from legal@runwayml.com to support@runwayml.com.

The dispute resolution contact email has changed from legal@runwayml.com to support@runwayml.com.
