What you can do

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

This clause means that if an AI-generated output you used causes legal harm to a third party — such as a copyright infringement or defamation claim — you bear the full legal and financial cost, not Together AI.

View original clause language

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Together AI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services or Content, (ii) your User Content, or (iii) your violation of these Terms.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This indemnification provision implicates FTC Act Section 5 standards for unfair contract terms in consumer-facing agreements; state consumer protection statutes (California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civ. Code §1770) where the clause may be unconscionable if applied to non-commercial users; and copyright liability under 17 U.S.C. §501 in the context of AI-generated content infringement claims currently before multiple federal courts. The FTC has enforcement authority over unfair or deceptive terms in standard-form contracts. (2)
