Summary

This document establishes the terms of service for Mistral AI's products and services, including Le Chat and Mistral AI Studio, for users outside Europe. The agreement permits Mistral AI to use user conversations for model training on free plans and certain paid tiers (Le Chat Pro, Le Chat Student) unless users opt out through account settings. The agreement also establishes liability limitations and designates French law and Paris jurisdiction as governing the terms.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs the personal use of Mistral AI's consumer-facing products, including Le Chat and Mistral AI Studio, by users residing outside the European Economic Area, and is structured as a binding contract formed upon account creation or product use. The agreement states that users retain ownership of Inputs and Outputs but grants Mistral AI a worldwide, royalty-free license to use that data for product provision, optimization, and, under specified conditions including free or Le Chat Pro or Student subscriptions where opt-out has not been exercised, for AI model training. The data training provision is notably conditional rather than blanket, with opt-out available for paid subscribers, though the mechanism requires affirmative user action; the liability limitation caps Mistral AI's total liability at the greater of amounts paid in the prior twelve months or fifty euros, which may conflict with non-waivable statutory protections in certain jurisdictions outside the EEA. The agreement designates French law and Paris courts as the governing law and jurisdiction, which creates material procedural implications for non-EEA users in common law jurisdictions, and references AI-specific obligations such as disclosure of AI-generated audio content under applicable law, engaging frameworks including the EU AI Act for Mistral AI as a French-domiciled provider and potentially local consumer protection statutes in user jurisdictions. Compliance teams should note the interplay between the training opt-out mechanism, the feedback data use provision, and applicable data protection laws in jurisdictions such as the UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and others where users may have statutory rights that interact with these terms.
