GitHub Terms of Service

This document sets the rules for using GitHub: you grant GitHub the right to use your content, including for AI training, as part of using the service. GitHub can suspend or end your account at any time without warning or reason, and paid subscriptions are non-refundable. By default, GitHub may use what you input and receive from the service to train AI models, but you can turn this off in your account settings.

GitHub's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users access and interact with the platform, including a broad content license requiring users to grant GitHub and its Affiliates rights to store, host, parse, display, copy, and use Content — including for AI Feature training — as necessary to provide and improve the Service. GitHub reserves the right to suspend or terminate user access at any time, with or without cause or notice, effective immediately, and its paid Service is non-refundable. The Agreement requires at least 30 days' prior notice before material changes take effect, and GitHub commits to deleting user profiles and repository contents within 90 days of account cancellation or termination. By default, GitHub and its Affiliates may use user Inputs and Outputs to develop and train AI and machine learning models, though users may opt out through account settings, and the license does not permit sharing Inputs or Outputs with third-party AI model providers for their own independent training purposes.

As a GitHub user, your content — including what you submit to and receive from the service — is licensed to GitHub and its Affiliates for purposes that include AI training by default; you can opt out of the use of your Inputs and Outputs for AI and machine learning model development through your account settings. GitHub may suspend or terminate your access at any time without cause or advance notice, and once you cancel your account, your profile and repository contents will be permanently deleted within 90 days. GitHub will not compensate you for lost profits, lost data, or other indirect or consequential harms, and paid subscriptions carry no right to a refund for unused time.
