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.

Because our Services may be utilized without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services. If you wish to fully terminate your account, you must terminate your account as set forth in Section 9.
Inactivity does not constitute automatic cancellation, so unless you cancel your account in accordance with this section, you will continue to be charged for subscription to the Services.
Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current Subscription Period, and your Subscription will not be renewed.
