How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Runway’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High Prohibition on sexually explicit content

The prohibition names specific sub-categories, confirming they fall within the restriction, while the qualifier 'certain' on fetish content leaves the full boundary of that sub-category undefined.

High Indefinite account suspension for CSAM

The suspension is indefinite and applies to all associated accounts, meaning there is no stated path to reinstatement and the consequence extends beyond the single account directly involved.

High Company assumes no liability for consequential damages

This exclusion removes liability for many of the most significant categories of harm users may suffer, including loss of profits and data, regardless of whether Runway had prior warning.

High Prohibition on using Services to build competing products

The prohibition extends to indirect use and includes Outputs, meaning even downstream application of generated content toward competing products is restricted.

High Inputs and Outputs used to train AI models

Content users submit to or receive from the Services may be incorporated into Runway's AI training pipeline, affecting how users' data contributes to the development of commercial AI products.
