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.
