These terms cover everything Cohere offers: its website, mobile app, API, all content on those platforms, and any other products or services Cohere provides to you.
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
This scope definition establishes the jurisdictional boundaries of the entire Terms of Use agreement, clarifying which Cohere products and services are subject to the contractual obligations, restrictions, and conditions that follow. The provision ensures all material offerings—whether web-based, mobile, API-based, or ancillary services—operate under unified contractual governance.
Any interaction with Cohere's website, API, or mobile application is governed by these terms, meaning both the usage restrictions and liability provisions apply across all of Cohere's service touchpoints.

"The following terms of use (the "Terms of Use") govern your access to and use of: (a) our website located at www.cohere.ai (the "Cohere Website"); (b) any mobile device software provided by us to you (the "Cohere Application"); (c) Cohere's proprietary application programming interface, and any related documentation (the "Cohere API"); (d) any text, pictures, media, data, information and other materials or content (collectively, the "Content") contained on or provided through the foregoing (a) to (c); and (e) all other Content, products or services provided by us to you, as more particularly described on the Cohere Website and the Cohere Application.— Excerpt from Cohere's Cohere Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The broad scope covering the API and all content engages GDPR where personal data is processed through the API by EU/EEA users or on behalf of EU data subjects, CCPA for California residents, and potentially the EU AI Act for general-purpose AI model API access. The FTC has jurisdiction over consumer-facing service terms in the US. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The explicit inclusion of the API and all related documentation within the scope of these Terms of Use means that enterprise customers using the API are bound by these standard consumer-facing terms unless a separate enterprise agreement is in place, which may not be adequate for B2B data processing relationships. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations processing personal data through the API face heightened exposure under GDPR, as standard Terms of Use typically do not constitute a sufficient Data Processing Agreement under Article 28. Canadian law may govern the agreement given Cohere's incorporation, which has implications for EU organizations relying on adequacy or standard contractual clauses. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm whether these Terms of Use are the operative contract for API access or whether a Master Service Agreement or enterprise agreement supersedes them. The inclusion of API documentation within scope means any API-specific usage policies referenced in documentation may also be incorporated by reference. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations using the Cohere API for any purpose involving personal data should conduct a data mapping exercise to determine whether the API use triggers GDPR processor obligations, and should request a Data Processing Agreement if one is not already in place.
