Summary

This is Cerebras's Terms of Use for its AI inference and training services, covering its websites, APIs, Chatbot, and cloud platform. The most important thing to know is that Cerebras can suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, for any reason, without prior notice, and bears no liability for any losses you suffer as a result. Before using Cerebras's API or Chatbot for commercial purposes, read the applicable Third-Party Model Terms carefully, as those terms — not Cerebras's — govern who owns your inputs and the AI-generated outputs.

Technical Summary

This document constitutes the Website Terms of Use for Cerebras Systems Inc., governing access to and use of Cerebras's websites (cerebras.net, cloud.cerebras.ai, inference.cerebras.ai, api.cerebras.ai), its training-as-a-service and inference-as-a-service products, APIs, Chatbot interface, and all associated content, effective August 27, 2024. The most significant user obligations include restrictions on reverse engineering or competitive use of the Service, compliance with an Acceptable Use Policy, prohibition on representing AI outputs as human-generated, and assumption of full liability for account activity including unauthorized access. Notable deviations from industry standard include Cerebras's explicit disclaimer of ownership over both User Content and Outputs (deferring instead to Third-Party Model Terms for API users), a broad unilateral right to modify or discontinue the Service or any user account at any time without notice, and an express disclaimer of liability for losses from unauthorized account use including changes made by Business User administrators. The document engages GDPR and CCPA insofar as it references a Privacy Policy for data handling, and implicates FTC Act Section 5 consumer protection standards given its broad warranty disclaimers and limitation of liability clauses; compliance teams should note the document's California governing law and San Jose, Santa Clara County venue selection. Material compliance considerations include the document's reliance on Third-Party Model Terms for critical IP ownership determinations — creating a layered contractual structure that enterprise procurement teams must independently review — and the minimum age requirement of 13 years (or country-specific digital consent age), which implicates COPPA for US operators.
