OpenAI EU Terms of Use

These terms set out what you can and cannot do when using OpenAI's Services, and what OpenAI can do with the content you provide. Key points for ordinary users include that OpenAI can use your content to improve its services, that you must not use AI-generated output to make serious decisions affecting other people, and that OpenAI must give you at least 30 days' notice before making changes that materially adversely affect you.

This document establishes the terms governing individual and organisational users' access to and use of OpenAI's Services in the EU. It grants OpenAI a worldwide licence to use user Content for service provision, maintenance, development, and improvement, while assigning to users whatever right, title, and interest OpenAI holds in Output. It imposes significant conduct restrictions, including prohibitions on reverse engineering, using Output to develop competing models, and using Output to make high-stakes decisions affecting individuals. OpenAI reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access upon a reasonably and objectively applied determination that specified conditions are met, and limits its liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, and exemplary damages. Business and organisation users bear indemnification obligations toward OpenAI, its affiliates, and its personnel to the extent permitted by law.

As an individual user, you own whatever rights OpenAI assigns to you in the Output you receive, but you are prohibited from using that Output to make or inform decisions with legal or material impact on other people—such as credit, employment, housing, or insurance determinations. You are fully responsible for all activity under your account and may not share your credentials or allow anyone else to use your account. If OpenAI makes changes that materially adversely affect you, it must notify you at least 30 days in advance by email or in-product notification, giving you time to act before those changes take effect. If your account was created with an organisation-owned email address, OpenAI may move it into that organisation's business account and will notify you when it does so.
