Cursor Terms of Service

This Terms of Service agreement governs the use of Cursor, an AI-powered coding assistant provided by Anysphere, Inc., and establishes rights, obligations, and dispute resolution procedures for users. The agreement provides that Anysphere will not use user-submitted code or AI-generated outputs to train its models absent explicit user consent, and establishes ownership allocations whereby users retain ownership of their code inputs while Anysphere assigns ownership of AI-generated suggestions to users. Paid subscriptions operate under automatic renewal terms requiring cancellation notice at least 24 hours before the renewal date to prevent charges, and disputes are subject to mandatory individual arbitration with a 30-day opt-out window.

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Anysphere, Inc.'s Cursor software platform, including its website, APIs, documentation, and related coding tools, on the basis of user acceptance upon use. The agreement states that users retain ownership of their Inputs and that Anysphere assigns to users all right, title, and interest in generated Suggestions; the terms authorize Anysphere to collect and process Usage Data (technical logs, interaction data, excluding Content) for internal business purposes and to disclose it to third parties in aggregated or de-identified form; and the terms explicitly state that Anysphere will not use Content to train AI models unless the user has explicitly opted in. The agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, a 30-day opt-out window from the arbitration requirement, broad unilateral rights to modify or discontinue the Service without notice, and account deletion authority upon over one year of inactivity or payment method expiration, provisions that are operationally significant although individually not uncommon in software-as-a-service agreements. The document engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices in AI services, CCPA and GDPR frameworks given its global user base, HIPAA and PCI-DSS through explicit use restrictions prohibiting submission of regulated data categories, and the EU AI Act given the AI-generated output nature of the Service; applicability of each framework depends on user jurisdiction and regulatory enforcement posture.

Users operate under a default data use restriction whereby their code and outputs are excluded from Anysphere's model training activities without affirmative consent. Paid subscribers are enrolled in automatic renewal billing, with the obligation to submit cancellation requests at least 24 hours before renewal dates to avoid charges; Anysphere reserves the right to delete accounts and associated data upon payment method failure at renewal. The arbitration provision establishes that disputes between users and Anysphere are resolved through individual arbitration rather than court proceedings, though users may opt out of this mechanism by submitting written notice within 30 days of initial agreement acceptance.
