Summary

This document establishes the terms governing access to and use of Replicate's platform for running and deploying AI models via API or web interface. The agreement authorizes Replicate to modify pricing, service features, and model availability at its discretion, with continued use constituting acceptance of changes. The agreement requires disputes to be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and prohibits class action participation.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs Customer access to Replicate LLC's cloud-based AI model hosting and execution platform, establishing a legally binding agreement incorporating by reference the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Community Guidelines, and Additional Terms. The agreement states that customers receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access the Services, while the terms authorize Replicate to collect and use aggregated and anonymized 'Resultant Data' derived from customer usage without restriction, and to unilaterally modify fees, features, or discontinue the Services at any time without liability. Notably, the terms include mandatory individual arbitration with class action waiver, broad indemnification obligations requiring customers to defend Replicate against third-party claims arising from customer content and model use, and a disclaimer that Replicate bears no liability for Marketplace Models including their security and functionality, which places material risk on customers using third-party models through the platform. The agreement engages consumer protection frameworks under the FTC Act, data privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA through its Privacy Policy by reference, and the EU AI Act given explicit restrictions on automated decision-making and prohibited AI uses; applicability of these frameworks depends on customer jurisdiction and the specific models deployed. Compliance teams should note the broad IP license granted over customer inputs for model training purposes and the use of Resultant Data, both of which may require evaluation under applicable data protection law depending on whether personal data is involved.

What changed Replicate updated its Terms of Service on May 30, 2026 to change how customers contact the company for support, security notifications, and dispute resolution. The terms previously directed users to email support@replicate.com for security breaches, subscription cancellations, support requests, policy violations, and dispute initiation. The updated language redirects all of these contacts to replicate.com/support instead. This consolidates contact channels but does not change what communications are required or the timelines for response.
Why this matters The updated terms change the contact method for submitting security breach notifications, canceling subscriptions, reporting policy violations, and initiating disputes from an email address (support@replicate.com) to a web-based support portal (replicate.com/support). The underlying obligations to report breaches immediately, request cancellations, and report violations remain identical. The practical effect is that users must now access a web portal rather than sending email to reach support for these matters.
