Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

These terms govern what you can and cannot do with Vercel's Services and what happens if something goes wrong. If you are on a Hobby plan, you may only use Vercel for personal, non-commercial projects; if you host healthcare data covered by HIPAA, you need Vercel's prior written approval first. If you have a dispute with Vercel, it must be resolved through individual arbitration—not a lawsuit or class action—and Vercel's financial liability to you is capped at whichever is higher: $100 or the fees you paid in the six months before the problem arose.

Analysis

Vercel's Terms of Service establish the substantive rights, obligations, and limitations governing use of the Services. Users must grant Vercel a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license—including the right to create derivative works—over all user Content. Vercel caps its direct-damages liability at the greater of $100 or six months of fees paid and excludes all indirect, consequential, and punitive damages for both parties and their suppliers. Dispute resolution is channeled exclusively into individual-capacity, final and binding JAMS arbitration—including threshold arbitrability questions—with a class-action waiver, and all fees are non-refundable absent an express written exception in the Agreement.

What this means for you

As a user, you are legally bound by actions Vercel's AI Functionality takes on your behalf according to your settings, and you are responsible for indemnifying Vercel—including legal and accounting fees—for claims arising from your breach of the Agreement or infringement tied to your Content. All fees you pay are non-refundable unless the Agreement expressly states otherwise. If you are on a paid Pro plan, Model Training is off by default; you can opt in, and you can opt out at any time by adjusting your Team account settings or upgrading to an Enterprise plan.

1 important change detected

4 versions captured · Latest change detected by ConductAtlas: September 2026

What changed Vercel added a new 'Flat Rate CDN' pricing tier option to its Terms of Service. Under this model, users on paid plans receive tiered CDN capacity at fixed rates, with automatic upgrades to higher tiers if usage exceeds the current tier's capacity, charged at the start of the next billing cycle. Users can disable Flat Rate CDN to revert to usage-based (PAYGO) pricing, downgrade tiers at any time, and will receive at least seven days' notice before a higher tier fee applies.
Why this matters The updated terms introduce a new Flat Rate CDN pricing option available only to paid plan subscribers. Under this model, users receive tiered CDN capacity at fixed rates; if usage exceeds the current tier's capacity, the account automatically upgrades to the next tier at the start of the next billing cycle and is charged the corresponding fee. Users will receive at least seven days' notice before a higher tier fee applies and can avoid the upgrade by downgrading, disabling Flat Rate CDN, or canceling before the next billing cycle. You can disable Flat Rate CDN at any time to revert to usage-based (PAYGO) pricing, effective at the start of your next billing cycle.
