Groq Acceptable Use Policy

This policy sets the rules for how you can use Groq's AI services. You are responsible for checking that any AI outputs are accurate, complying with all applicable laws yourself, and ensuring human oversight when using the AI for high-stakes decisions. Groq prohibits a wide range of harmful uses—from illegal content to offensive cyber operations—and can investigate and act on any suspected violation.

Groq's Acceptable Use Policy establishes the conditions under which customers and their authorized users may access Groq's Cloud Services and AI Model Services. It enumerates categorical prohibitions on content and conduct—including child sexual abuse material, violent extremism, hate speech, offensive cyber operations, and automated lethal functions without human control—and imposes affirmative obligations on users to evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, assess risks in consequential decision-making contexts, and implement human oversight and safeguards. The policy transfers the full burden of legal compliance, including AI-specific regulation, to the Customer, and assigns to the Customer and its authorized users complete downstream responsibility for all decisions, advice, actions, and omissions based on AI outputs. Groq reserves the right to investigate and enforce against any suspected violation.

As a user of Groq's services, you bear full responsibility for verifying the accuracy of AI-generated outputs before acting on them, and for every decision, action, or inaction that results from your use of the services. If you use Groq's AI to inform consequential decisions in areas such as employment, healthcare, finance, legal matters, housing, insurance, or social welfare, you are required to evaluate the risks of your use case and put appropriate human oversight and safeguards in place. You may not attempt to bypass safety mechanisms, exceed published usage limits, or create multiple accounts to work around restrictions—Groq may investigate and enforce against suspected violations without requiring confirmed proof of breach.
