Mandatory binding arbitration removes users' right to resolve disputes in court, with arbitration decisions being final and not subject to ordinary judicial appeal.
Interpretive note: The geographic limitation to US and Canada users is stated in the clause name but may not be fully reproduced in the excerpt provided. The canonical claim includes it because the record identifies it as the scope, but the evidence span does not itself confirm the geographic restriction.
The updated terms expand access to audio services for younger users (13+) but require parental consent and supervision for those under 18, shifting responsibility to parents. For developers and researchers, the terms now explicitly restrict using Stability AI outputs to develop, train, or improve competing AI models, with exceptions only when expressly approved in writing. The terms also prohibit removing watermarks or content credentials that identify outputs as AI-generated. For US users, mandatory arbitration now applies; Canada is no longer subject to the arbitration clause. You can review the full updated terms to understand how these restrictions affect your intended use of the services.
