Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Cohere’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
Exclusion of consequential and indirect damages

This exclusion removes the most common categories of large-scale loss from any claim either party might bring, significantly limiting practical recovery even when harm is substantial.

Prohibition on High Risk Life-Safety Activities

Cohere excludes high-stakes life-safety and critical-infrastructure use cases where a Service failure could produce catastrophic real-world consequences.

Enterprise User input/output retention 30 days

The 30-day retention period defines how long Enterprise User data remains on the Platform, subject to the qualifier 'generally,' which signals exceptions may exist.

Cohere may unilaterally amend Agreement with notice

Cohere holds sole power to change the terms of the Agreement without the customer's consent, provided it gives notice, which may significantly alter the customer's rights and obligations.

Aggregate liability cap at 12 months of Fees paid

The cap limits the maximum financial recovery available to either party regardless of the severity of harm, tying the ceiling directly to recent fees paid.
