Summary
These terms define which set of rules applies to your use of Sourcegraph Cody and other Sourcegraph products, depending on when you signed up, what your Order Form says, and your role (e.g., U.S. Government employee). An Acceptable Use Policy applies no matter which product you use. Where a more specific supplemental agreement exists, it overrides the main Terms of Service on the topics it covers.
Analysis
This document establishes the layered contractual framework governing use of Sourcegraph Cody and related Sourcegraph products and services. It allocates governance across distinct instruments: AI Tools use is governed either by Sourcegraph's dedicated AI Terms (for pre-February 2024 customers or those with applicable Order Forms) or by the main Terms of Service; the Acceptable Use Policy applies universally to all products and services; the Data Processing Agreement is triggered when Sourcegraph processes Customer Personal Data on the customer's behalf; and the Privacy Policy governs personal data Sourcegraph controls as Data Controller. A Security Exhibit covering User Content, Code, and Confidential Information applies to all generally available products, and Supplemental Terms—including Professional Services Terms and U.S. Government Supplemental Terms—control over the main Terms of Service on their respective subject matter when conflicts arise.
What this means for you
As an individual user, the terms that apply to you depend on your specific situation: customers who contracted with Sourcegraph before February 15, 2024, or whose Order Form references the AI Terms are bound by that distinct AI Terms framework for AI Tools use; all other customers are governed by the main Terms of Service for that use. The Acceptable Use Policy applies to every Sourcegraph product or service you use without exception. Sourcegraph's Privacy Policy covers personal data that Sourcegraph collects and controls directly, while a separate Data Processing Agreement governs any Customer Personal Data Sourcegraph processes on your behalf. To understand which framework applies to you, review your Order Form and the date of your agreement with Sourcegraph.

What changed
In an update detected on August 4, 2026, Sourcegraph expanded the scope of its Terms of Service to explicitly describe two additional governance documents. The updated terms now state that a Subprocessor List applies to all Customers and outlines the subprocessors Sourcegraph uses and how to be notified of updates, and that Sourcegraph Partner Terms apply to Sourcegraph partners. This change makes explicit reference to supplementary terms that govern specific operational relationships.
Why this matters
The updated Terms of Service now explicitly state that a Subprocessor List applies to all Customers and describes how to be notified of updates to that list. Customers subject to these terms can access this supplementary document to understand which third-party processors Sourcegraph engages.

What changed
Sourcegraph restructured how its Terms of Service are organized and applied. Previously, the document listed separate term variants for different customer types (Sourcegraph general users, AI Tools users, Professional Services, Government users). The updated structure consolidates a primary Sourcegraph Terms of Service with separate Supplemental Terms that apply conditionally based on customer type and agreement date. When a Supplemental Term conflicts with the base terms, the Supplemental Term controls on that subject matter.
Why this matters
The updated structure clarifies which terms apply to different customer groups by introducing a modular system where base Sourcegraph Terms of Service apply universally, and Supplemental Terms apply conditionally (for example, to customers who agreed to terms before February 15, 2024, or those using Professional Services). When a Supplemental Term conflicts with the base terms, the Supplemental Term controls on that specific subject. This is a structural reorganization rather than a substantive change to rights or obligations.
