What it is

All legal disputes with AI21 Labs must be handled in Delaware courts under Delaware law, regardless of where you live or do business.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Non-US users, including EU and UK customers, may find that this clause conflicts with their local mandatory consumer protection laws, and the practical burden of litigating in Delaware may discourage legitimate claims.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of Delaware exclusive jurisdiction and choice of law against EU and UK consumers is uncertain and likely overridden by mandatory local law in those jurisdictions.

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.
