The license is sublicensable and transferable, meaning Vercel can pass rights to your content to third-party partners or subprocessors without additional consent beyond the initial agreement.
Vercel's Terms of Service affect users primarily through its arbitration and class action waiver provisions, which limit how disputes can be resolved, and through liability caps that restrict the financial recovery available if the service causes harm or data loss. Business and enterprise users are additionally affected by the agreement's incorporation of a Data Processing Addendum governing how personal data is handled, which has direct GDPR and CCPA compliance implications. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Vercel within 30 days of first creating an account, as specified in the dispute resolution section.
