Summary

This is the Terms of Use governing access to Tabnine's AI code assistant platform, covering IDE plugins, web interfaces, and associated services. The agreement authorizes Tabnine to use code, prompts, and other content submitted by users to operate and improve the service, and limits Tabnine's financial liability to the greater of fees paid in the prior three months or one hundred dollars. Users who continue using the service after changes to the terms are treated as having accepted the updated terms, with no opt-out mechanism specified for modifications.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs the use of Tabnine's AI-powered code assistant services, including its web platform, IDE plugins, and related products, and is structured as a binding agreement between Tabnine Ltd. and its users. The agreement states that users grant Tabnine a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute content submitted to the service, and that Tabnine reserves the right to terminate accounts or suspend access at its sole discretion without prior notice. The agreement's liability limitation caps Tabnine's aggregate liability at the greater of amounts paid by the user in the prior three months or one hundred dollars, and disclaims all warranties, which is a standard commercial software posture though the enforceability of such caps and disclaimers varies by jurisdiction, particularly within the EU under consumer protection frameworks. The document engages GDPR and CCPA through its data collection and processing disclosures, and references a separate Privacy Policy for detailed data handling terms; compliance teams operating in EU or California contexts should evaluate whether the interplay between this document and the referenced Privacy Policy provides sufficient transparency and consent mechanics under those frameworks.

What changed Tabnine removed two sentences from the opening of its Terms of Use on May 25, 2026. The removed language stated: 'We're glad you're here and want you to know that we respect your privacy and your right to control how we collect, use, and share your personal data.' This introductory privacy commitment no longer appears in the terms. The updated version begins directly with the navigation menu and product descriptions.

Why this matters The updated Terms of Use no longer includes the opening statement affirming respect for user privacy and control over personal data. This is a formatting and presentational change to the document's introduction rather than a modification to substantive privacy provisions or data handling practices. The removal of this introductory language does not alter the privacy obligations or data collection practices stated elsewhere in the full terms.

What changed Tabnine added two sentences to the top of its Terms of Use on May 23, 2026, introducing a new 'Your Privacy' section. The added language states: 'We're glad you're here and want you to know that we respect your privacy and your right to control how we collect, use, and share your personal data.' The update also introduces 'Open Preferences' and 'Accept All' options, suggesting new cookie or consent controls. This appears to be a privacy notice enhancement and consent interface rather than a substantive change to underlying data practices.

Why this matters The updated Terms of Use now include a privacy statement affirming Tabnine's respect for user privacy and user control over data collection, use, and sharing. The addition of consent interface elements (Open Preferences, Accept All) suggests users may have new or clearer options to manage privacy settings. These changes do not substantively modify what data Tabnine collects or how it uses data; they add disclosure and user-facing controls. You can access privacy preferences through the consent interface.
