Provides large language model APIs and natural language processing tools for developers and businesses to build AI-powered applications. The company's terms of service, privacy policy, and usage guidelines govern how customer data is handled and what types of AI applications can be built using their platform. These policies are significant for developers and end users whose data may be processed through Cohere's AI models and services.
High, provisions that significantly limit your legal rights, authorize broad data collection, or create material financial exposure. Medium, provisions worth knowing about but with partial protections or limited scope. Low, standard terms with minimal consumer impact.
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.
Cohere excludes high-stakes life-safety and critical-infrastructure use cases where a Service failure could produce catastrophic real-world consequences.
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 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.
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.
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.
