The agreement restricts how you may use LangChain's platform, prohibiting uses such as generating harmful content, violating third-party rights, or using the services for unlawful purposes.
This analysis describes what LangChain's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Acceptable use restrictions define the boundaries of permitted platform use and are the basis on which LangChain may suspend or terminate accounts, making them directly relevant to any organization deploying the platform in production.
Interpretive note: The exact acceptable use clause text was not available due to document truncation; this analysis is based on the document type and the platform's stated product scope.
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.

How other platforms handle this
players may report each other and submit info about their in-game activity and actions to help us determine if the reported behavior constitutes a violation of rules and policies that apply to player conduct
Zoom uses advanced tools to automatically scan certain types of content such as virtual backgrounds, profile images, incoming emails to Zoom's native email service from someone who is not a Zoom Email user, and files uploaded or exchanged through chat...
In assessing misuse, we consider factors such as evidence that a report was motivated by bias or hatred (e.g., based on protected characteristics such as race, sexual orientation, or gender identity) or other malicious intent.
