Cohere can change the terms of this agreement at any time by updating its website, and continuing to use the API after the change means you accept the new terms.
This analysis describes what Cohere's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The unilateral amendment clause means the agreement's terms can change without requiring the customer's active consent, and continued API use constitutes acceptance; enterprise customers should implement processes to monitor and review term changes before they take effect.
Interpretive note: The adequacy of notice provided through website posting for material term changes may be subject to legal challenge depending on the jurisdiction and the materiality of the change; enforceability may vary.
The agreement permits Cohere to modify its terms by website posting, with continued use of the API constituting acceptance of the updated terms; enterprise customers who do not actively monitor for term changes may find themselves bound to materially different obligations without affirmative notification.

"Cohere reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time by posting the updated Agreement on its website. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Agreement.— Excerpt from Cohere's Cohere SaaS Agreement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral amendment clauses in B2B SaaS agreements are generally enforceable in commercial contexts in common law jurisdictions, though the adequacy of notice provided may be evaluated by courts in specific dispute contexts. For consumer-facing terms, some jurisdictions require active notice and consent for material changes; this agreement is directed at enterprise customers, which affects the applicable standard. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The primary operational risk is that changes to pricing, data use permissions, or AUP terms take effect automatically upon posting, requiring enterprise customers to maintain active monitoring of Cohere's published terms. Material changes to data processing terms may require assessment against GDPR and other data protection obligations. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU enterprise customers should evaluate whether unilateral modification of data processing terms (including the DPA) is consistent with GDPR's requirements for documented processor agreements; changes to processing purposes or safeguards may require renegotiation rather than unilateral posting. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should establish a process for monitoring Cohere's published terms for material changes and conducting legal review before the effective date of any significant amendments. Enterprise agreements may benefit from negotiated notice periods for material changes and explicit acceptance requirements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should implement a vendor terms monitoring process that flags changes to Cohere's SaaS Agreement, DPA, and AUP, and establishes a review and escalation protocol for material modifications.
