Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users are required to accept that residual security risk rests with them, which may limit Windsurf's liability for security failures not covered by its commercially reasonable measures.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

By using Windsurf's Services, you are required to acknowledge and accept that the Services carry inherent security risk and that your use is ultimately at your own risk.

How other platforms handle this

Leonardo AI Medium

We do not make any promises that these will be available 100% of the time. Our Services may be disrupted during certain periods, including, for example, as a result of scheduled or emergency maintenance.

Glassdoor Medium

We employ physical, electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard the data we collect online. However, no company can fully eliminate security risks, so we cannot make guarantees about any part of our services.

Netflix Medium
