The policy states that the listed prohibitions are not exhaustive and that the policy will be updated over time as Runway's products and their uses change.
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 clause reserves Runway's authority to modify the scope of prohibited conduct without specifying a notice period or user consent mechanism for material changes, which creates ongoing compliance uncertainty for enterprise users who have structured workflows around the current policy terms.
Interpretive note: The practical effect of the non-exhaustive clause depends on how Runway implements policy updates and what notice mechanisms, if any, are established in the Standard Terms of Use or Enterprise Terms of Use, which are referenced in this document but not reproduced here.
Under this clause, the categories of prohibited content described in the policy may be supplemented or modified by Runway over time. The document does not specify a notice mechanism, effective date process, or user consent requirement for policy updates.

"This list is not exhaustive, and these policies will continue to evolve over time as our products and their use changes.Excerpt from Runway's Usage Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in platform terms of service engage state consumer protection frameworks and, in the EU, the Unfair Contract Terms Directive and Digital Services Act obligations regarding transparency in platform governance. The DSA requires that platforms notify users of material changes to terms and conditions. Applicable notice requirements depend on jurisdiction and the nature of the modification. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. For enterprise customers and developers building integrations on Runway's platform, the absence of a defined modification notice period or process creates operational planning uncertainty. The clause's reference to policy evolution as products and uses change suggests that restrictions may be added in response to product launches, regulatory developments, or enforcement actions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU DSA obligations may require Runway to provide advance notice to users of material changes to content moderation policies. California's consumer protection framework may impose disclosure obligations for material modifications to service terms. Enterprise customers in regulated industries should assess contractual protections available under the Enterprise Terms of Use. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should assess whether the Enterprise Terms of Use establish a defined notice period for material policy changes and whether change management procedures are contractually available. The non-exhaustive clause may affect the scope of indemnification or liability provisions in enterprise agreements if policy changes retroactively affect previously compliant use cases. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a monitoring process for updates to Runway's Usage Policy, as material changes could affect the compliance status of existing use cases or integrations. The policy's last updated date (March 6, 2026) should be used as a baseline for change tracking.
