ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision requires all disputes to be resolved in Delaware courts under Delaware law, which may require non-Delaware and international customers to litigate in a jurisdiction other than their own. The express exclusion of UCITA limits certain software-specific statutory rights that might otherwise apply under the laws of states that have enacted UCITA.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 22, 2026

The updated terms introduce a new deployment architecture option (BYOC) alongside existing Cloud and Hybrid options, giving customers more control over infrastructure placement. LangChain's explicit commitment to not use customer data for large language model training now has clear written language in the Terms, whereas the prior version only referenced 'products' generically. However, the expanded non-warranty clause now states the platform is not warranted to be 'accurate' or 'complete,' which broadens the disclaimers of liability. Customers should review which deployment option aligns with their infrastructure and compliance requirements.
