What it is

Customers who agreed to Sourcegraph's terms before the company introduced AI Tools (Cody, Enterprise AI, Deep Search) are governed by a separate, legacy set of AI Tools terms rather than the current general terms.

This analysis describes what Sourcegraph Cody'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)

Legacy customers using Cody or other AI tools may be operating under different contractual terms than new customers, and the substantive differences between those term sets are not disclosed on this index page.

Interpretive note: The substantive differences between the legacy AI Tools terms and the current general Sourcegraph terms are not disclosed on this index page; the significance of this bifurcation depends on the content of those linked documents.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users who have been Sourcegraph customers since before AI Tools were introduced need to review the AI Tools terms at sourcegraph.com/terms/ai-terms to understand whether their governing agreement differs materially from the current general terms on matters such as data use, liability, or IP ownership of AI-generated outputs.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The existence of two parallel terms frameworks for AI tools, one for legacy customers and one for current customers, may create compliance complexity under GDPR if the data processing practices described in each document differ. CCPA obligations to provide accurate notice of data practices apply regardless of which version governs. The EU AI Act may impose specific transparency and accountability requirements that apply across both terms versions depending on the risk classification of the AI systems involved. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The bifurcation creates a two-tier contractual environment for AI tool users. If the legacy AI Tools terms contain materially different data processing, IP, or liability provisions than the current general terms, organizations with long-standing Sourcegraph accounts may face different risk profiles than newer customers. The index does not disclose the nature or extent of those differences. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA organizations should confirm which terms version governs their AI tool use and whether the applicable data processing agreement reflects current GDPR requirements. California organizations should verify that whichever terms apply include current CPRA-compliant disclosures regarding AI-processed data. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise legal teams conducting vendor assessments of Sourcegraph should identify whether their organization is subject to the legacy AI Tools terms or the current general terms, and request a comparison of material provisions if operating under the legacy framework. This is particularly relevant for data processing agreements and IP ownership of AI-assisted code outputs. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should confirm their agreement date relative to the introduction of AI Tools and retrieve the applicable terms document. If operating under legacy AI Tools terms, a review of whether those terms reflect current regulatory requirements and internal data governance policies is advisable.
