Summary

The AWS Service Terms govern use of all AWS services including Amazon Bedrock, AWS's managed generative AI platform that provides access to foundation models from providers including Anthropic, Meta, Cohere, and Amazon's own Nova models. The terms state that customer inputs and outputs are not used to train underlying foundation models by default, but AWS reserves the right to use content to maintain and improve the Bedrock service unless the customer has opted out through available account controls. Customers are required to comply not only with AWS's own acceptable use policy but also with each model provider's separate use policy, which creates a layered set of restrictions that vary depending on which model is accessed.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document constitutes the AWS Service Terms, which govern use of Amazon Web Services including Amazon Bedrock, and operates as part of the broader AWS Customer Agreement or applicable enterprise agreement establishing the legal basis for service access. The terms authorize AWS to use customer inputs and outputs processed through Bedrock to improve AWS services unless customers opt out, establish that customers bear responsibility for ensuring their use of foundation models complies with applicable law, and require customers not to use Bedrock to generate content that violates third-party intellectual property rights or to circumvent model safety features. Bedrock-specific provisions address model provider restrictions, requiring customers to comply with additional use policies published by third-party model providers such as Anthropic, Meta, and Cohere, creating a layered compliance obligation that extends beyond the AWS Customer Agreement itself. The terms engage data protection frameworks including GDPR and CCPA insofar as customer content processed through Bedrock may constitute personal data, and the EU AI Act's requirements for high-risk AI system deployment are materially relevant for enterprise customers deploying Bedrock in regulated workflows; applicability depends on deployment jurisdiction and use case.
