Change Summary
RunPod significantly restructured their Terms of Service on May 23, 2026, removing 31 sentences of content including marketing language, product descriptions, and promotional bonuses, while adding 3 new sentences establishing formal legal binding language. The document now opens with explicit statement that the Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between users and RunPod, Inc., and includes a 'Last Updated' date of March 24, 2026. This change removes all promotional messaging and product overviews that previously appeared in the Terms, replacing them with standard legal boilerplate, making the document more formally structured as a binding legal contract.
