The indemnification clause establishes a financial obligation structure whereby subscribers assume legal defense costs and liability exposure for claims connected to their account conduct, service usage, or regulatory compliance failures, shifting certain defense burdens to the subscriber rather than Comcast.
The updated terms now explicitly prohibit the deployment of AI Agents to access, use, interact with, or take action on Comcast services unless Comcast expressly grants permission. This includes automated activities such as obtaining information, making requests, monitoring activity, copying, downloading, scraping, or data mining the services. The agreement also prohibits AI Agents from accepting terms on a user's behalf or engaging in support or sales interactions. Users who currently use automation tools or third-party integrations with Comcast services may need to seek express permission from Comcast or discontinue such automated access.
