Summary

Together AI's Terms of Service govern access to and use of the Together AI website, API, and AI model inference platform. The terms require users to indemnify Together AI against claims arising from user-generated content and platform use, limit Together AI's liability to amounts paid in the prior twelve months, and require disputes to proceed through individual binding arbitration rather than court litigation. The agreement also includes a class action waiver, meaning users agree not to bring or participate in class or collective actions against Together AI.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is the Together AI Terms of Service governing use of the Together AI website, API, and AI inference platform, establishing a binding agreement between Together Computer, Inc. and users. The terms authorize Together AI to suspend or terminate accounts for violations of acceptable use policies, require users to indemnify Together AI against third-party claims arising from their use of the platform, and assert that Together AI's liability is limited to amounts paid by the user in the prior twelve months. The agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, requiring individual dispute resolution through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and reserves to Together AI the right to modify terms with notice. The document engages CCPA for California residents, potentially GDPR for EU-based users accessing the platform, and FTC frameworks governing unfair or deceptive practices in AI and consumer services; applicability of specific data protection frameworks depends on jurisdiction and the nature of data processed through the platform. Organizations deploying Together AI for commercial inference workloads should evaluate indemnification scope, acceptable use obligations, and data handling representations against their own compliance requirements, particularly where personal data may be included in API inputs.

What changed Together AI added two new sentences to its Terms of Service on May 21, 2026 that clarify payment clearing procedures for credits and prepaid balances. The updated terms now state that credits funded via ACH, wire transfer, or other delayed-settlement methods will not be available for use until the company has received and confirmed clearance of the underlying funds. The company is also not responsible for delays in service access resulting from payment processing time, or for failed, reversed, or returned payments.

Why this matters The updated terms establish that prepaid credits funded via ACH, wire transfer, or other delayed-settlement payment methods will not be available for use until the company confirms receipt and clearance of the underlying funds. The terms also state that the company is not responsible for any service access delays that result from the time required for payments to clear, or for any failed, reversed, or returned payments. This means users who choose these payment methods should expect a processing delay before credits are usable.

What changed Together AI modified a single sentence in its Terms of Service on May 19, 2026, changing the section heading from 'General Terms' to 'Third-Party Notices'. The content of the section itself, which lists links to third-party license agreements and NVIDIA terms, remains unchanged. This is a labeling change with no modification to the substantive terms or obligations referenced.

Why this matters This change updates a section heading in the Terms of Service without modifying the actual license agreements, vendor terms, or user obligations referenced in that section.
