You do not own your Runway account or your API keys; Runway retains all rights to them and can reclaim or terminate them without transferring any property interest to you.
This analysis describes what Runway's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision means that Runway can terminate or reclaim your account and API keys without any obligation to compensate you for the loss of access to content, integrations, or services built on those credentials.
Interpretive note: Whether this assertion of complete corporate ownership over user accounts is fully enforceable may depend on jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of account termination, particularly where paid services or stored content are involved.
All content, settings, integrations, and access associated with your Runway account remain the property of Runway rather than you, meaning account termination or suspension does not create a property claim against the company.

"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your Account or API keys, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your Account or API keys are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Company.— Excerpt from Runway's Runway Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision interacts with consumer protection frameworks that may limit a company's ability to assert absolute ownership over user accounts in ways that deprive consumers of access to content or paid services without adequate remedy. EU consumer law under Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights may impose obligations regarding access to digital content associated with paid subscriptions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The assertion that all rights in accounts forever inure to Runway's benefit is operationally significant for API-dependent businesses that have built applications on Runway credentials, as account suspension or termination would immediately affect downstream users with no property remedy available to the developer. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users may have consumer rights claims regarding access to digital content paid for under subscription, which may interact with this broad property assertion. California consumer protection law may also limit enforceability of terms that deprive consumers of access to services or content already paid for without adequate notice or remedy. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations building on Runway APIs should treat API key access as a revocable license rather than a stable infrastructure dependency, and should implement contingency planning for access termination. Procurement teams should assess the business continuity risk associated with a unilateral termination right over API keys. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams reviewing this provision should assess whether it is disclosed prominently enough to meet applicable consumer protection standards and whether it interacts with any refund or access obligations under subscription payment terms.
