Summary

This is Runway AI's Terms of Use, governing your access to its AI-powered video, image, and media generation tools, including its website, apps, and APIs. The most important thing to know is that any content you upload or generate — including your text prompts and AI-generated video outputs — can be used by Runway forever, for free, to train and improve its AI models, and you cannot revoke this permission. If you subscribe to a paid plan, it renews automatically at the current price unless you cancel through your account's 'Plans & Billing' page before the renewal date.

Technical Summary

This Terms of Use Agreement governs all access to and use of Runway AI, Inc.'s services — including its website, hosted AI generation services, software applications, games, interactive media, and APIs — and is legally binding upon acceptance through registration, clicking 'I Accept,' or continued use of the services. The most significant obligations created include: users granting Runway a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use all Inputs and Outputs for AI model training and improvement; automatic subscription renewal at then-current pricing unless affirmatively cancelled; and mandatory binding arbitration with class action waiver. Notably, Section 4.4 grants Runway an irrevocable perpetual license to user-generated AI Inputs and Outputs for model training purposes, representing a materially expansive data use provision that exceeds typical SaaS content license scope; additionally, Section 2.3 explicitly disclaims any user ownership interest in account credentials. The Agreement engages GDPR (where applicable to EU users), CCPA (for California residents), COPPA (minimum age 13), FTC Act Section 5 on unfair or deceptive practices, and state consumer protection laws regarding auto-renewal disclosures; compliance teams should note that the arbitration opt-out window, AI training data use disclosures, and automatic renewal notification practices may conflict with California's Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17600) and EU AI Act obligations for high-risk AI systems.
