This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“Subject to these Terms and to any limitations on use of the APIs specified in the documentation for such APIs, we grant to you a nonexclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide, freely revocable right and license to (a) use the APIs to develop, test and support your applications, (b) distribute or allow access...”
“In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve such Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by JAMS before a single arbitrator... under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS.”
“IN NO EVENT WILL CEREBRAS, ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS... BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER... ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE ACCESS, USE, INABILITY TO USE...”
“Cerebras exclusively owns all right, title and interest in and to the Site and the Service and all related intellectual property thereof.”
“All Usage Data is and will be owned solely and exclusively by us, and, to the extent any ownership rights in or to the Usage Data vest in you, you hereby assign to us all rights (including intellectual property rights)...”
“Cerebras reserves the right to modify or discontinue your User Account or your use of the Site at any time for any reason or no reason at all.”
These terms govern how you can use Cerebras' AI service and APIs. Cerebras can revoke your API access or shut down your account at any time for any reason, your payments cannot be refunded, and if something goes wrong your financial recovery is capped at $100 or the fees you paid in the last year—whichever is greater. Disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration, not in court.
This document establishes the terms governing access to and use of Cerebras' Site, Service, and APIs. Cerebras grants users a nonexclusive, limited, freely revocable, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use its APIs to build, test, support, and distribute applications, while retaining exclusive ownership of all intellectual property in the Site and Service. Cerebras exclusively owns all Usage Data and users assign to Cerebras any ownership or intellectual property rights that might otherwise vest in them over that data, though Cerebras expressly does not have the right to use Service Content to train or fine-tune models. The document imposes a broad liability exclusion covering all damage categories, caps total liability at the greater of $100 or fees paid in the prior 12 months, requires all covered disputes to be resolved through binding JAMS arbitration under expedited procedures, and declares all payment obligations non-cancelable and all fees non-refundable.
As a user, you have no guaranteed continuity of account or API access, since Cerebras can modify or discontinue either at any time for any reason. You assign to Cerebras all ownership and intellectual property rights in Usage Data, though Cerebras cannot use your Service Content to train or fine-tune models. You are prohibited from representing AI-generated Output as human-created, using the Service to compete with or benchmark Cerebras, or using it for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purposes. Your financial recovery for any harm is capped at $100 or fees paid in the prior 12 months, fees already paid are non-refundable, and covered disputes must go to binding JAMS arbitration rather than court. If you want to raise a dispute, the arbitration process through JAMS is the exclusive avenue available to you.
