These terms set out the rules for using Cohere's AI platform. The most important things to know are: any data you enter into the platform can be used, stored, and shared by Cohere under an irrevocable, permanent license; if something goes wrong, Cohere's maximum financial responsibility to you is $100 CAD; and Cohere makes no guarantees about the quality or reliability of its services and will not issue refunds for disruptions.
Cohere's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and use the Cohere Solution and associated Services. Cohere retains sole ownership of all intellectual property in the Cohere Solution, while users grant Cohere a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, and sublicensable license to access, use, process, store, disclose, and transmit any data submitted to the platform. Cohere's aggregate liability is capped at $100 CAD, all warranty protections are disclaimed entirely, and the exclusion of damages covers every standard category including direct damages. Cohere reserves the right to unilaterally modify the Terms at any time except where prohibited by applicable law, and may suspend access at its discretion for scheduled maintenance, force majeure, or fee delinquency.
As an individual user, once you submit data or feedback to the Cohere Solution, you grant Cohere a permanent, irrevocable right to use and sublicense that data or feedback — this grant cannot be taken back. If you experience any service disruption, no refund is owed to you regardless of the cause, and the total amount you could ever recover from Cohere under these terms is $100 CAD. You are also personally responsible for ensuring your use complies with export controls and sanctions laws, and you may not use the platform for activities where its failure could reasonably cause death, serious injury, or severe property or environmental damage.
