AWS can change the rules governing how you use Bedrock at any time just by updating its website — the new rules take effect immediately upon posting, not when you personally see them.
This analysis describes what AWS Bedrock's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause establishes AWS's unilateral authority to alter contractual terms governing service delivery and user obligations, with effectiveness tied to website posting rather than user notification or acceptance procedures.
The updated terms establish new data-sharing mechanisms for users of Anthropic models on Amazon Bedrock. Specifically, AWS now explicitly authorizes notification to Anthropic of metadata present in requests sent to certain Anthropic products (e.g., Claude Code, computer use features), enabling Anthropic to conduct product-level usage attribution. Additionally, the terms introduce AWS WAF AI traffic monetization, which permits AWS to facilitate payment transactions between content publishers and buyers by sharing pricing, payment, and configuration information with payment providers and facilitators; the updated terms clarify that AWS does not provide regulated financial services and is not a party to fund flows, and that users' interactions with payment providers are governed by separate terms between the user and those parties. Users employing these features should review what metadata may be embedded in their requests and understand their own obligations to payment providers.
View change record →The updated terms establish that customers operating Amazon RDS databases on end-of-life software versions are now required to upgrade to supported versions. The agreement authorizes AWS to scan extension code used with Trusted Language Extensions for security and performance purposes, and establishes that extension code constitutes customer content. AWS disclaims responsibility for service failures caused by extensions or end-of-life database software. If a customer does not upgrade before an engine reaches end of life, AWS may snapshot the customer's data and delete the instance or cluster running the unsupported software, after providing prior notice of the engine end-of-life date.
View change record →The updated terms establish new operational requirements for any organization using Amazon Connect Talent to make or inform employment decisions. Customers must now obtain legally adequate privacy notices and consents from job applicants before their data is processed by the service. The terms require customers to review all AI output before making hiring decisions, implement processes for applicants to request information about the AI's role in decisions, and ensure their use of the tool complies with applicable labor, anti-discrimination, disability, data privacy, AI, wiretap, recordkeeping, and biometrics laws. Customers can configure an AI services opt-out policy through AWS Organizations to prevent their data from being used to train or improve AWS AI technologies.
View change record →Any change AWS makes to its Bedrock service terms becomes binding on you as soon as it is posted online, even if you haven't read the update — meaning your existing AI applications could become non-compliant overnight without any direct warning.

"AWS may change or discontinue any of the Service Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the AWS website. The modified terms will become effective upon posting.— Excerpt from AWS Bedrock's AWS Service Terms
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages contract formation and modification law across all applicable jurisdictions. In the EU, Unfair Contract Terms Directive (Council Directive 93/13/EEC) may render unilateral modification clauses with no meaningful notice unenforceable in consumer-facing contexts. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 imposes similar protections. For B2B customers, this provision is generally enforceable but creates significant contract management obligations.
