Hugging Face Terms of Service

These terms set the rules for using Hugging Face's platform. Hugging Face can suspend, change, or shut down any part of its Services—or remove your account or content—at any time, without warning and without having to give a reason. Any fees you pay are non-refundable, and if you make a repository public, every other user gets permanent, irrevocable rights to use and build on your content.

Hugging Face's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users and legal entities may access and use the platform's Services. The document grants Hugging Face broad platform discretion, including the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Services at any time with or without notice, and to remove user content or terminate user access at its sole discretion without cause or notice. Users who submit content grant Hugging Face a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, and create derivative works of that content, while users who make repositories public grant all other users a perpetual, irrevocable license on the same scope. Liability exposure for both parties is constrained by an aggregate cap tied to fees paid in the preceding 12 months and a broad exclusion of indirect, consequential, and similar damages, and all fees are designated non-refundable.

As a Hugging Face user, you have no guaranteed continuity of access: the platform can suspend your account, remove your content, or discontinue Services at any time, without cause or advance notice. All fees you pay are non-refundable and do not include taxes, which you are solely responsible for. If you make a repository public, the license you give to all other users is perpetual and irrevocable—you cannot take it back even if you later make the repository private. You must bring any claim related to the Terms within one year of the event that caused it, or that claim is waived.
