What it is

The agreement limits the financial damages you can recover from LangChain, typically to the amount you paid for the service in the twelve months before the claim arose. This means that even if a service failure causes significant losses, your financial recovery from LangChain is capped.

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.
