The prohibition on under-13 users is legally required by COPPA, but without verified age-gating mechanisms, the restriction may be unenforceable in practice — and parents who permit their minor children to use the service take on full legal responsibility for that use.
The terms authorize Perplexity AI to use content you submit through the service and limit its liability for inaccurate AI-generated outputs to a maximum of one hundred dollars or twelve months of fees paid, whichever is greater. The mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions mean that disputes must generally be resolved individually, limiting the ability to pursue collective legal action if the service causes widespread harm. You can opt out of the arbitration provision by sending written notice within thirty days of first creating your account to Perplexity AI's designated legal contact.
