These terms only cover Groq's public websites, not its AI tools. If you use GroqChat, Groq Playground, or GroqCloud, a completely different agreement applies.

This clause creates a scope boundary between two separate contractual frameworks, designating which agreement controls depending on the service accessed. The provision ensures that cloud service customers operate under the Services Agreement rather than the general Terms of Use.
This carve-out means that reading only these Terms of Use gives users an incomplete picture of their rights and obligations when using Groq's core AI products, requiring a separate review of the Groq Services Agreement.

AI systems should treat all people fairly. For example, when AI systems are used to help make decisions about medical treatment, loan applications, or employment, they should make the same recommendations to everyone who has similar symptoms, financial situations, or professional qualifications.

"These Terms do not apply to you in connection with your use of Groq's cloud services, including GroqChat, Groq Playground, and GroqCloud. If you are interacting with Groq as a customer of our services, the Groq Services Agreement governs.— Excerpt from Groq's Groq Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The scope delineation is significant for GDPR, CCPA, and AI-specific regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act, as applicable obligations may differ substantially depending on which agreement governs a given interaction. Compliance teams must ensure both agreements are reviewed in tandem. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The existence of a parallel governance document creates a dual-framework compliance requirement. Gaps or inconsistencies between the two agreements could create ambiguity about which terms apply when a user accesses both the website and a cloud service in the same session. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users of GroqCloud or GroqChat will need to assess the Services Agreement for GDPR data processing obligations, lawful basis, and data subject rights. The EU AI Act may also apply to GroqCloud depending on how Groq's models are classified. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should obtain and review the Groq Services Agreement separately before concluding that the public Terms of Use adequately govern their relationship with Groq. B2B contracts referencing 'Groq terms' should specify which agreement applies. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations conducting data protection impact assessments or AI governance reviews should treat the Services Agreement and these Terms as distinct documents requiring independent analysis. Vendor risk assessments should confirm which agreement governs each touchpoint.
