AI21 Labs owns everything it makes available, keeps no meaningful liability to you (its maximum combined obligation is five dollars), and can change the terms or shut off your access at any time without warning.

Analysis
This Agreement establishes that AI21 Labs retains sole and exclusive ownership of all AI21 Materials, while users grant AI21 Labs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use and exploit any content they submit. AI21 Labs provides its materials on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis with no warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind, and caps its combined aggregate liability and that of all its affiliates at five US dollars, while separately excluding consequential, indirect, special, incidental, and punitive damages entirely. AI21 Labs reserves the right to modify the Agreement upon posting, and to revoke the user's license, suspend the website, or terminate the Agreement at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, and for any or no reason. Users must indemnify AI21 Labs and its affiliates for all claims arising from their breach, and any legal action must be commenced within one year of accrual, with the Agreement governed by the laws of the State of Israel.
What this means for you
An individual user acquires no ownership interest in AI21 Materials and cannot withdraw AI21 Labs' right to use any content they submit, because that license is irrevocable and perpetual. If something goes wrong, the user cannot recover more than five dollars from AI21 Labs and its affiliates combined, and cannot recover lost profits, lost data, or other consequential losses at all. The user must bring any legal claim within one year of when it arises, which is shorter than the default limitation period in many places. Because the Agreement can be modified by posting alone, users should review the posted terms before each use to determine whether changes have been made.

What changed
AI21 Labs updated its Terms of Service on June 16, 2026, making material changes to its cookie consent and data collection disclosures. Previously, the terms explicitly offered users the ability to opt out of the sale of personal data and targeted advertising through a dedicated "Your Opt-Out Rights" button. The updated terms replace this specific opt-out language with a more general cookie consent framework that requires users to affirmatively click "Accept" to allow cookies for site navigation, usage analytics, and marketing efforts. The practical difference is that the prior explicit opt-out mechanism for data sales and targeted advertising has been removed and replaced with a cookie-based consent model where some cookie types may be blocked, but the specific right to opt out of data sales is no longer prominently featured in the accessible terms text.
Why this matters
The updated terms remove the explicit "Your Opt-Out Rights" button that previously allowed users to opt out of data sales and targeted advertising. In its place, the revised language establishes a general cookie consent framework requiring users to click "Accept" to allow cookies for site navigation, usage analysis, and marketing efforts. Users retain the ability to choose not to allow certain cookie types, but the prior dedicated opt-out mechanism for data sales and targeted advertising is no longer explicitly described in the accessible terms interface. If you wish to control cookie preferences, you can click on the cookie settings to modify consent for different types of cookies; however, strictly necessary cookies cannot be declined as they are required for core website functionality.
