View change record →The updated terms introduce new restrictions and disclaimers around GenAI Features. RapidAPI provides these features with no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, legality, or fitness for any purpose, and users assume sole responsibility for evaluating outputs before acting on them.

Users relying on chatbot outputs for decisions must independently verify information, as the terms state chatbot responses are generated algorithmically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
