OpenAI EU Terms of Use

This document governs use of OpenAI's services by users located in Europe (EU/EEA/UK), establishing a contractual relationship between users and OpenAI Ireland Limited as the contracting entity, with Irish law as the governing law framework. The agreement states that users must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in their jurisdiction if higher), grants OpenAI a license to use input content to provide and improve services, and asserts OpenAI's right to modify, suspend, or terminate accounts for violations of usage policies. The EU-specific nature of this document is operationally distinct from OpenAI's US terms in that it does not include a mandatory arbitration clause or class action waiver, instead directing disputes to Irish courts, and the terms engage GDPR data subject rights frameworks applicable to EU/EEA residents. This document engages the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU AI Act (to the extent OpenAI services qualify as AI systems under that framework), and the EU Digital Services Act (DSA); compliance obligations depend on how OpenAI's services are classified under each framework and the applicable enforcement authority in each member state. Material compliance considerations include the basis for processing personal data submitted as inputs, cross-border data transfer mechanisms to OpenAI's US infrastructure, and age verification obligations under GDPR Article 8 and national implementations.
