Change Summary
OpenAI updated its Service Terms on June 2, 2026, adding new sections governing Licensed Materials (software and code installed on customer systems) and ChatGPT Sites (a website creation feature). The Licensed Materials section establishes a limited, non-exclusive license for copying and installing software on customer-controlled systems, with restrictions on modification, redistribution, and sublicensing. The ChatGPT Sites section references separate terms governing website creation and publishing. The update also moved language about GPT distribution licenses and third-party GPT disclaimers to appear earlier in the terms structure, and made minor formatting corrections throughout the document.
