We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or through our Services prior to the change becoming effective. If you continue to use our Services after we notify you of material changes, you agree to the updated Terms.
This means OpenAI can significantly alter what rights you have, what data they collect, or what you're allowed to do, and simply continuing to use ChatGPT counts as your legal agreement — you must actively stop using the service to avoid being bound by new terms.
OpenAI's Terms of Use give the company a broad license to use content you submit — including your conversations with ChatGPT — to train and improve its AI models, which means your personal inputs could influence future AI behavior at scale. The mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver significantly limit your ability to seek collective legal remedies if something goes wrong, a provision that may surprise many everyday users. You can opt out of having your data used for model training by going to Settings > Data Controls in your ChatGPT account and disabling 'Improve the model for everyone.'
