This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document sets out the rules for what you cannot do with Vercel AI's services. The prohibited uses include creating weapons-related content, electoral campaign material, health data processing, child-directed services, deepfakes, and attempting to build a competing product. If Vercel AI believes you are breaking these rules, it can cut off your access immediately.
Vercel AI's Acceptable Use Policy establishes a set of absolute prohibitions on how users may interact with and deploy its services, covering categories including weapons of mass destruction development, electoral campaign content, child-directed services, child sexual exploitation material, nonconsensual intimate imagery (including deepfakes), Protected Health Information as defined under 45 C.F.R. Section 160.103, model extraction or stealing attacks, competitive product development using Vercel AI's services or confidential information, resale or transfer of access to third parties, and misrepresentation of AI-generated output as human-generated. Any violation of these prohibitions constitutes a material breach of the Agreement, activating the full range of contractual remedies. Vercel AI may restrict, suspend, or terminate access immediately upon notice where it reasonably believes a user or that user's end users are in violation. The Policy's prohibitions apply at the point of intent—not merely confirmed use—as illustrated by the electoral content restriction, which covers content intended for campaign dissemination.
As an individual user, this document directly limits how you may use Vercel AI's services across a broad range of content types and activities. You may not process any Protected Health Information through the services, use the platform to develop a competing product, misrepresent AI-generated outputs as human-generated, or create content intended for electoral campaigns—even if that content is never actually used in a campaign. Any of these actions constitutes a material breach of your Agreement with Vercel AI, and Vercel AI may cut off your access immediately upon giving notice if it reasonably believes a violation has occurred, without waiting for a dispute to be resolved.
