The updated terms indicate that Windsurf is now operating as the Cognition Platform under Cognition AI, Inc., replacing the prior Exafunction, Inc. structure. The revised terms state that prior terms continue to govern use for 30 days from the posting date (July 1, 2026), and that continued access after that period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Users who do not agree with the new terms are instructed to stop using or accessing the Services. The specific substantive changes to user rights, data collection, fees, or service functionality are not detailed in the provided change summary.
