What it is

Users are required to indemnify Stability and its affiliates against all liabilities, damages, and costs, including attorney fees, arising from their use of the services, any breach of the terms, any products or services built using Stability's platform, and any Inputs, Outputs, or other data they submit or generate.

This analysis describes what Stability AI'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)

This provision requires users to cover Stability's legal costs and damages across a broad set of triggering circumstances, including third-party products and services built on the platform and all submitted or generated data. For commercial API users and developers, this creates financial exposure that extends beyond direct use of the services to downstream products.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of broad consumer-facing indemnification clauses varies by jurisdiction; UK and EU consumer protection frameworks may limit the obligation's scope as applied to individual consumers.
