Calm updated its Terms of Service dated October 13, 2026, adding substantial new sections on paid content licensing, AI features, and health disclaimers. The updated terms clarify that access to premium content is a revocable license rather than a purchase, establish that users retain ownership of inputs to AI features but Calm owns outputs, and explicitly state that the Services do not provide medical advice or emergency care. The terms also expanded the license Calm receives to use user content and outputs for service development, testing, and improvement.
Consumers: When you submit information to Calm's AI features, you are confirming that the information is yours and that you have the right to let Calm use it.
Consumers: You cannot submit illegal, harmful, abusive, or privacy-violating content to Calm's AI features.
Consumers: Calm can now use your content and AI-generated outputs for developing and testing new features and products, not just running and marketing the current service.
Consumers: When your Calm subscription ends, you lose access to premium content, even if you downloaded it to your device.
Consumers: Calm can change, add, or remove premium content titles and features without notice, even during your active subscription.
The updated terms establish that Premium content access is a limited, revocable license that terminates when a subscription ends, including downloaded content. Users do not own the content and will lose access upon cancellation, expiration, or non-payment. The terms also introduce new AI feature sections that authorize Calm to process user inputs to generate outputs, with Calm retaining ownership of outputs while users retain ownership of inputs. Health disclaimers clarify that the Services do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care and do not create a provider-patient relationship. You can review the full terms at Calm.com to understand the specific scope of the license and AI feature processing.
