What it is

Cursor's AI-generated code suggestions may be wrong, biased, or misleading. You are legally responsible for checking everything the AI produces before using it — Cursor takes no responsibility for errors.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

All risk of relying on Cursor's AI-generated code falls on you — if AI suggestions contain security vulnerabilities, legal issues, or factual errors that cause damage, you have waived your right to hold Anysphere responsible by agreeing to these Terms.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

By using Cursor, you accept full legal responsibility for any errors, security vulnerabilities, or bugs in AI-generated code that you use — meaning you cannot hold Cursor liable even if its AI produces demonstrably incorrect or harmful code.

View original clause language

You acknowledge that there are numerous limitations that apply with respect to Suggestions provided by large language and other AI models (each an "AI Model"), including that (i) Suggestions may contain errors or misleading information, (ii) AI Models are based on predefined rules and algorithms that lack the ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas and can result in repetitive or formulaic content, (iii) AI Models can struggle with understanding the nuances of language, including slang, idioms, and cultural references, (iv) AI Models can struggle with complex tasks that require reasoning, judgment and decision-making, and (v) data used to train AI models may be of poor quality or biased. You agree that you are responsible for evaluating, and bearing all risks associated with, the use of any Suggestions, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of Suggestions.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), particularly obligations on providers (Article 13, transparency) and deployers (Article 26, human oversight) of AI systems. The broad liability disclaimer may conflict with EU AI Act Article 9 (risk management) requirements for high-risk AI systems. In the US, the FTC Act Section 5 applies where AI limitations are not adequately disclosed. Product liability law in the EU (Product Liability Directive 85/374/EEC, under revision to include software) may limit the effectiveness of contractual disclaimers for defective AI outputs causing damage. 2.
