What it is

You must be at least 13 years old (or older, depending on your country's laws) to create a Cerebras account.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are under 13 (or under your country's digital consent age), you are not permitted to use Cerebras's services — but the document provides no description of how Cerebras verifies age, which is a regulatory concern for parents and regulators.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Cerebras allows users as young as 13 to access AI inference and training services, raising child safety and data protection compliance questions — particularly in jurisdictions with higher digital consent ages.

View original clause language
You must be at least 13 years of age or the minimum age of digital consent required in your country to register for an account on the Service ("User Account").

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) prohibits collection of personal data from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent; enforced by the FTC with fines up to $51,744 per violation. The EU's GDPR Art. 8 sets the digital consent age at 16 (with member state option to lower to 13); the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) sets 18 as the default protection age. Canada's PIPEDA and provincial laws impose similar child data protection requirements.
