Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
These are the rules for using OpenAI's Services if you are outside the United States. OpenAI can use content you submit to develop and improve its Services, and it can suspend or delete your account if it decides you have violated its rules. Any disputes must generally be resolved individually through binding arbitration rather than in court, though you can opt out of arbitration by filling out a form within 30 days of account creation.
This document establishes the terms governing individual and business users' access to and use of OpenAI's Services outside the United States. It sets out user obligations—including age minimums, prohibited conduct, and account security—alongside OpenAI's rights to use submitted Content for operational and developmental purposes and to suspend, terminate, or delete accounts upon its own determination of a breach. OpenAI assigns to users all of its right, title, and interest, if any, in Output generated by the Services, while excluding its own liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, and exemplary damages. Dispute resolution is channeled to final and binding individual arbitration, with a time-limited opt-out right, and business users bear an indemnification obligation toward OpenAI, its affiliates, and personnel for third-party claims arising from their use of the Services and Content.
Users must be at least 13 years old (or a higher age if their country requires it), cannot share their account credentials, and are responsible for all activity under their account. OpenAI may use submitted Content for a broad range of purposes including improving its Services. Payments are non-refundable except where local law requires otherwise, and all disputes are subject to binding individual arbitration with no ability to join a class action. One concrete action available to users: opt out of arbitration by submitting the designated form within 30 days of account creation or within 30 days after any update to the arbitration terms takes effect.
