Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The class action waiver prevents users from pooling claims with others, which can make pursuing small or diffuse harms against OpenRouter economically impractical.

The updated terms clarify that enabling prompt logging automatically activates chat logging as well, and grant OpenRouter a perpetual, worldwide license to use your content for service provision and commercial purposes. This includes the explicit right to license or sell your user content in anonymized form. Users accessing Stealth Program models must now also agree to a separate End User License Agreement. You can disable prompt logging in your account settings if you do not wish to grant these permissions.
