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.

You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.Excerpt from AI21 Labs's Terms of Use
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: EU consumer protection law may require more affirmative notice and consent mechanisms for material changes to consumer contracts. In some EU member states, unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts may be considered unfair terms under the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive. The FTC's general authority over unfair or deceptive practices is relevant to modification-by-posting provisions in consumer-facing agreements. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Modification-by-posting is a common provision in website terms of service. However, the absence of direct notification obligations (such as email notice for material changes) may create compliance exposure in EU and certain other consumer-protective jurisdictions. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have heightened exposure due to Unfair Contract Terms Directive requirements. California and other U.S. states may also have consumer protection implications for unilateral modification provisions. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations relying on the AI21 website for business purposes should implement processes to monitor the terms of service page for changes, as modifications are effective upon posting without direct notice. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the modification-by-posting mechanism is adequate under applicable consumer protection law in their users' jurisdictions, particularly in the EU. Internal processes for tracking vendor terms of service changes should include this document.
