What it is

Runway states that you do not own your account or API keys; the company retains all rights to them at all times.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The agreement states that users hold no property interest in their accounts, meaning Runway retains the right to suspend, terminate, or reclaim accounts without the user having a property-based claim to the account or its contents.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement establishes that users have no ownership rights in their Runway accounts or API keys, which means account suspension or termination by Runway does not constitute deprivation of user property under the agreement's stated terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
