The updated Terms of Service remove previous promotional language including referral bonuses (previously described as $5-$500 random credit bonuses) and product feature descriptions. The revised document now explicitly states it is a legally binding agreement between you and RunPod, Inc., with a last-updated date of March 24, 2026. No new restrictions or obligations are introduced by this change; the restructuring primarily formalizes the legal framework and eliminates marketing content that previously appeared within the terms document.
