Perplexity AI Terms of Service

This document governs user access to and use of Perplexity AI's services, including its AI-powered search and answer engine, establishing a binding agreement between Perplexity AI Inc. and its users upon account creation or service use. The agreement states that users grant Perplexity a broad license to use submitted content, that the service is provided 'as is' with significant warranty disclaimers, and that liability is capped at amounts paid in the prior twelve months or one hundred dollars, whichever is greater. The arbitration clause requires individual binding arbitration for most disputes and includes a class action waiver, with a thirty-day opt-out window from first account creation, which is operationally significant given that AI-generated outputs may carry accuracy risks that users cannot pursue collectively. The agreement engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices in AI-generated content, CCPA for California residents regarding personal data rights, and COPPA given the minimum age requirement of thirteen years; EU users should note that the governing law and arbitration provisions may interact with GDPR data subject rights and EU consumer protection frameworks, which in some jurisdictions may limit the enforceability of mandatory arbitration clauses.
