This is the rules-of-use document for Mistral AI Products, specifying what users are and are not allowed to do. Key prohibitions include generating illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, hateful, or rights-infringing content, as well as any attempt to create CSAM. Violating these rules can result in account suspension or permanent termination, and any actual or suspected CSAM will be reported to law enforcement.
This document establishes the conditions of permissible use for Mistral AI Products, setting out mandatory prohibitions and enforcement mechanisms binding on all users. It bars users from employing the Products for illegal activity, fraud, security compromise, generation of deliberately deceptive content, hate or discriminatory content, third-party rights infringement, non-consensual intimate imagery, and any generation or attempted generation of CSAM. Enforcement consequences range from discretionary temporary suspension or permanent account termination for general policy violations to mandatory account termination and law enforcement reporting specifically triggered by actual or suspected CSAM. Mistral AI retains unilateral authority to update the policy by publishing changes on its website.
Users of Mistral AI Products are bound by a broad set of content and conduct prohibitions covering illegal activity, fraud, deliberate deception, hate and discrimination, third-party rights violations, non-consensual intimate imagery, and CSAM. If Mistral AI detects actual or suspected CSAM, account termination is mandatory and law enforcement reporting follows automatically—there is no warning or opportunity to cure. For other policy violations, temporary suspension or permanent termination of the account is a possible consequence. Because Mistral AI may update this policy at any time by posting changes on its website, users should check the policy periodically to stay informed of current rules.
