Scale AI Terms of Service

This is Scale AI's website terms of service, which sets the legal rules for using scale.com and its AI data platform services. The most important thing to know is that by continuing to use the site after any updates, you automatically agree to new terms — including a clause that waives your right to sue Scale AI as part of a class action and requires individual arbitration instead. If you disagree with mandatory arbitration, you must opt out in writing within 30 days of first accepting the terms.

This document governs use of Scale AI's website and related services under a contractual framework established by Scale AI, Inc., with governing law of California and mandatory arbitration under AAA rules. The most significant obligations include users granting Scale AI a broad, royalty-free license to use any feedback or submissions, prohibitions on reverse engineering or scraping Scale's AI-related content, and users indemnifying Scale AI for any claims arising from their use. Notable deviations from industry standard include a class action waiver combined with mandatory arbitration, a 30-day opt-out window for arbitration that begins at account creation rather than at each update, and Scale's reservation of the right to modify terms with continued use constituting acceptance. The document engages CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), COPPA (children under 13 are prohibited), and potentially the FTC Act Section 5 regarding unfair or deceptive practices; compliance teams should note that Scale AI operates in the AI data services sector, implicating emerging EU AI Act obligations for enterprise customers using Scale's outputs in high-risk AI systems. Material considerations include the unilateral right to terminate accounts and the broad intellectual property assignment covering user-generated content submitted to the platform.
