Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

Runway's Terms of Service set out the rules for using its AI services: your submitted and generated content can be used by Runway to train its AI models, all fees are non-refundable including for cancelled subscriptions, and disputes with Runway must go through binding arbitration rather than court. You have 30 days from first accepting the terms to opt out of the arbitration requirement by sending written notice to Runway.

Analysis

Runway's Terms of Service establish the binding conditions under which users access its AI-powered Services, imposing a comprehensive arbitration regime that requires individual binding arbitration, waives constitutional and statutory rights to jury trial, and includes a class-action waiver, with a 30-day opt-out window. Runway grants itself an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license over user Inputs and Outputs, and users must acknowledge that such content may be used to train and improve Runway's AI models and related products. The agreement limits Runway's liability by excluding loss of profits, revenue, data, and indirect or consequential damages, while requiring users to indemnify Company Parties for losses, costs, and attorneys' fees arising from their content, applications, or Agreement violations. Runway retains authority to terminate or suspend user access for any or no reason, charges non-refundable subscription fees that renew automatically at the then-current rate, and prohibits users from using the Services or Outputs to develop competing or similar products.

What this means for you

As a user, your Inputs and Outputs may be used by Runway to train its AI models and improve its products. Subscription fees are non-refundable and renew automatically at the then-current rate, so cancelling mid-period forfeits remaining paid time. Any dispute with Runway must be resolved through individual binding arbitration, not in court, and you cannot join a class action — but you can preserve your right to go to court by sending Runway written notice to opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first becoming subject to the Arbitration Agreement.

What changed Runway updated its Terms of Service to explicitly reference a separate Usage Policy document that now governs acceptable content and service use. The revised terms state that users must comply with the Agreement, the Usage Policy, and applicable law. The change consolidates content restrictions and prohibited uses into a dedicated policy rather than listing them inline in the main terms, and updates the dispute resolution contact email from legal@runwayml.com to support@runwayml.com.
Why this matters The updated terms now explicitly reference a separate Usage Policy that governs acceptable content and service use. Previously, content restrictions were listed directly in the main terms; they are now consolidated into a dedicated policy document. The substantive restrictions on nudity, violence, sexually explicit content, hateful, harassing, fraudulent, misleading, illegal, or offensive subject matter remain in effect, but users must now review the Usage Policy to understand the full scope of prohibited conduct. The dispute resolution contact email has changed from legal@runwayml.com to support@runwayml.com.

What changed Runway updated its Terms of Service to clarify how digital avatars are treated under the agreement and expanded prohibited conduct rules. The updated terms now explicitly define two types of avatars: Stock Avatars (created by Runway and made generally available) and Custom Avatars (created by or for users), with Custom Avatars classified as user content owned by users while Stock Avatars remain Runway property. The terms also broadened restrictions on harmful conduct to explicitly cover interference with third-party services, added a new section governing Non-Runway Services (external tools and integrations), expanded liability carve-outs to include intentional misconduct and gross negligence, and added the word 'Agents' to the scope of governed services.
Why this matters The updated terms clarify that custom avatars you create are your content and remain your property, while stock avatars provided by Runway remain Runway's property. The terms now explicitly govern third-party integrations (Non-Runway Services) and state that these external tools are provided without warranties and that you are solely responsible for any data, actions, or consequences arising from them. The agreement also expands what conduct is prohibited to include interference with third-party services, and broadens liability protections to cover Runway's gross negligence and intentional misconduct. You can review the Non-Runway Services section to understand which third-party integrations you enable and the data you authorize to be transferred.
