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
