This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This is the AWS Service Terms document governing your use of Amazon Web Services, including Amazon Bedrock, the platform AWS provides for accessing and building with foundation models and generative AI tools. The terms state that you may not use outputs from Bedrock models to train or improve competing AI models, and that AWS may modify or discontinue model availability with notice, which affects what AI capabilities you can access and how you can use the results. If you use Bedrock to process personal data or operate in regulated industries, the compliance obligations for that data use remain with you as the customer under the AWS shared responsibility model.
This document constitutes the AWS Service Terms, which govern use of Amazon Web Services offerings including Amazon Bedrock, and operates as a supplement to the AWS Customer Agreement or equivalent enterprise agreement establishing the overarching legal relationship between AWS and the customer. The terms authorize AWS to process customer content submitted to Bedrock services, impose use restrictions including prohibitions on using Bedrock outputs to train competing foundation models, and establish that model providers whose models are accessible through Bedrock may have additional terms governing their specific models. The Bedrock-specific provisions include explicit restrictions on reverse-engineering foundation models, using service outputs to build competing AI model services, or circumventing safety mechanisms built into the models, which are operationally distinct from general-purpose cloud service terms in that they extend restrictions to AI model outputs and derived works, though the practical enforceability of restrictions on model output use may be subject to applicable copyright and fair use frameworks depending on jurisdiction. The document engages the EU AI Act and associated conformity obligations for high-risk AI system deployments, GDPR and CCPA frameworks where personal data is processed through Bedrock inference endpoints, and sector-specific regulations such as HIPAA where customers deploy Bedrock in healthcare contexts, with compliance obligations for sensitive data processing falling primarily on the customer as data controller rather than on AWS.
