“Notwithstanding the above, Box will not train Box AI using your queries or outputs without explicit consent.”
This analysis describes what Box'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
Users retain control over whether their AI interactions are used to train Box's AI models, as this requires affirmative explicit consent.
Interpretive note: The 'Notwithstanding the above' qualifier suggests this clause overrides broader data use permissions established elsewhere in the agreement, but the content of those provisions is not quoted and cannot be stated.
The updated terms establish new billing obligations for consumable service resources. Users are now explicitly responsible for charges related to API calls and AI Units consumed beyond their service entitlements. Box reserves the right to monitor resource usage, report overages to the billing contact, and automatically charge the payment method on file for excess consumption. If usage exceeds entitlements, Box may implement throttling, rate limiting, or temporary service suspension until the overage is remedied and all charges are paid. Additionally, all written notices to Box must now be submitted electronically through Box-provided channels; Box will not process notices sent by mail or delivered in person.
