AWS places the responsibility for following laws, including AI regulations and data protection rules, on you as the customer rather than on AWS itself.

This provision places the full burden of regulatory compliance for AI-generated content, data protection, and sector-specific rules on the customer, meaning organizations deploying Bedrock in regulated industries must independently ensure compliance rather than relying on AWS's own compliance certifications.
The updated terms now explicitly state that AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery is not designed for real-time vehicle control and cannot be used as the sole basis for determining vehicle safety or regulatory compliance. Organizations deploying this service must implement independent human monitoring and safety validation before using its outputs to support vehicle system decisions. The terms make clear that AWS assumes no responsibility for uses that violate these constraints.
View change record →The updated terms establish new restrictions on how AWS Capacity Reservations may be used. Specifically, customers purchasing On-Demand Capacity Reservations can no longer resell them to other parties, and AWS reserves the right to cancel the purchase or terminate running instances if the company suspects resale activity. For Capacity Blocks for ML, the grace period before instance termination increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes for UltraServer instance types, allowing slightly more time to complete workloads. The Amazon Sidewalk qualification program was renamed and simplified, but the underlying security and operational requirements remain in effect.
View change record →The updated terms establish a formal framework for AWS Bedrock's free exploration services, clarifying the operational boundaries and responsibilities. AWS reserves the right to discontinue these services at any time without prior notice, meaning customers cannot rely on their continuation for production planning. Customers are solely responsible for testing, deploying, and maintaining any code, documents, or AI solutions AWS provides, including determining whether those solutions comply with applicable law. AWS retains the right to develop competing products based on content it creates during these engagements, though this does not override existing non-disclosure agreements. Customers are prohibited from requiring AWS personnel to sign additional terms as a condition of receiving free services, and any such documentation signed by AWS personnel is void.
View change record →Scope broadened from service-specific terms to all applicable laws and regulations, and requirement to have end-user ToS was removed while end-user compliance obligation was generalized.
View full change record →Businesses using Bedrock to serve their own customers bear legal responsibility for ensuring that AI-generated content and data handling comply with applicable laws, including GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific frameworks like HIPAA, independent of AWS's own compliance posture.
