This document establishes the terms of service for Cerebras's AI platform, including websites, APIs, and chatbot interfaces for running and interacting with AI models. The agreement authorizes Cerebras to modify, suspend, or terminate service or user accounts at any time without prior notice, and limits Cerebras's liability to the greater of fees paid in the preceding 12 months or $100. For API users, ownership of prompts and AI-generated outputs is determined by the terms of the third-party model provider rather than by these terms.
This document governs use of Cerebras Systems Inc.'s websites (cerebras.net, cloud.cerebras.ai, inference.cerebras.ai, api.cerebras.ai) and its AI services including training-as-a-service, inference-as-a-service, APIs, and a conversational chatbot, operating on the basis of a clickwrap acceptance mechanism effective August 27, 2024. The agreement states that users grant Cerebras a broad license to use User Content and Prompts for service operation and improvement, that Cerebras disclaims ownership over user-submitted content and AI outputs while reserving the right to remove any such content at its sole discretion, and that the terms authorize Cerebras to modify or discontinue the Service at any time for any reason without prior notice. Notable provisions include a broad limitation of liability capping Cerebras's exposure at amounts paid in the prior 12 months or $100 (whichever is greater), a mutual indemnification obligation placing defense costs on users for third-party claims arising from their use, and a governing law clause designating California courts; the document also conditions some output ownership rights on third-party model terms that are not reproduced within the document itself, creating a layered and potentially opaque rights framework. The agreement engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices in AI services, the California Consumer Privacy Act given the California choice-of-law provision and Cerebras's California domicile, and potentially the EU AI Act and GDPR for any EU-resident users accessing AI inference services; the age restriction setting 13 as minimum age of digital consent engages COPPA considerations, though the document does not articulate a COPPA-compliant verification mechanism.
