The license is sublicensable through multiple tiers, meaning it can be extended to any third party Vercel chooses.
The updated terms establish that users are legally responsible for configuring autonomous AI features and third-party tools, must monitor their settings and output, and are bound by the autonomous actions those tools take on their behalf. Users also bear the cost of any services those third-party tools consume through the Vercel platform. The terms state that Vercel is not responsible for loss, damage, or liability arising from AI or third-party tool actions. You can manage this responsibility by carefully configuring settings, permissions, and safeguards before enabling AI features or third-party integrations, and by establishing human review processes for AI-generated output.

"To the extent you or any of your users provide any suggestions to Vercel regarding the functioning, features, and other characteristics of the Services, documentation, or other material or services provided or made available by Vercel ("Feedback"), you hereby grant Vercel a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid-up, fully transferable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicenses) under all of your intellectual property rights, for Vercel to use and exploit in any manner and for any purpose.Excerpt from Vercel's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Perpetual irrevocable feedback licenses are common in software and platform agreements and are generally enforceable in commercial contexts. Where feedback contains proprietary organizational information or trade secrets, the breadth of this license may interact with confidentiality obligations under other agreements the user organization maintains with third parties. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The feedback license is standard in platform agreements; however, the scope of what constitutes feedback is not narrowly defined, and authorized users may inadvertently submit proprietary information as feedback. The sublicensable and transferable nature of the license means Vercel may extend rights to third parties without limitation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: No specific jurisdictional variance identified; the perpetual and irrevocable nature of the license is enforceable in most commercial contexts. Organizations subject to IP ownership agreements with clients or partners should assess whether feedback submitted through organizational accounts could implicate third-party IP rights. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should assess whether organizational policies on IP ownership and disclosure are compatible with the feedback license scope. Authorized users should be trained to avoid submitting proprietary or confidential information through feedback mechanisms. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review internal IP ownership policies to ensure that feedback submitted by authorized users through organizational accounts does not inadvertently grant Vercel rights over proprietary organizational content or client confidential information.
