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.

Customers should review which deployment option aligns with their infrastructure and compliance requirements.
