Linear
· Linear Terms of Service
The agreement establishes that data deletion occurs within 30 days of termination for cause upon Customer request, or upon workspace deletion. Customer-requested early deletion is available in writing. Linear may delete User Submissions and User Information for inactive Free Version accounts after one year of non-use....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that data deletion following termination is not automatic but is triggered by Customer request or workspace deletion, and is subject to a 30-day processing period. Customers seeking earlier deletion must submit a written request. Free Version account data may be deleted after one year of inactivity without a Customer-initiated termination....

Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement prohibits Harvey and its Subprocessors from training AI models using Customer Content or Customer Data. Subprocessors other than cloud storage providers are also prohibited from retaining or logging Customer Content or Customer Data for human review....
Why it matters: This provision establishes an explicit contractual prohibition on AI model training from customer inputs and outputs, and extends that restriction to Subprocessors. The carve-out for cloud storage providers from the human review and retention prohibition is an operationally relevant limitation that compliance teams should assess against their data handling requirements....

Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement requires all disputes to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings. EEA, Switzerland, and UK customers proceed under ICC rules in London; all other customers proceed under JAMS Streamlined Rules in San Francisco, with disputes exceeding $250,000 in controversy heard by a three-arbitrator panel....
Why it matters: This provision requires disputes to proceed through private arbitration under specified institutional rules, with the seat and governing rules varying by customer geography. The threshold of $250,000 triggers a three-arbitrator panel, which is operationally relevant for fee and liability disputes that may approach or exceed the standard liability cap....

Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement establishes two aggregate liability thresholds: a standard cap at the greater of 12 months of paid fees or $250,000, and an elevated cap for data breach and confidentiality claims at the greater of twice 12 months of paid fees or $500,000. Certain claims are excluded from these caps, including payment obligations, indemnification obligations, and claims for gross negligence or intentional misconduct....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the maximum recoverable damages under the agreement for most claim types and sets a distinct higher threshold for data breach and confidentiality-related claims. Compliance teams should map their actual annual fee payments against these caps to assess whether the contractual risk transfer is adequate relative to the organization's data exposure....
-
Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement requires Harvey to provide at least 15 days advance notice for material term updates, with exceptions for non-material changes, new feature terms, and legally required updates. Harvey is prohibited from unilaterally modifying terms relating to Confidential Information, Customer Data, Customer Content, or security without written customer authorization. Customers who consider an update negatively impactful have 15 days to raise the issue, and if unresolved, may terminate with 3 business days notice and receive a refund of prepaid unused fees....
Why it matters: This provision establishes procedural constraints on Harvey's unilateral modification authority and creates a contractual termination right tied to adverse term changes. The absolute restriction on unilaterally modifying confidentiality, data, and security provisions without written authorization is a defined limit on Harvey's update authority that differs from a standard unilateral modification clause....

Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement establishes mutual indemnification obligations: Harvey indemnifies customers for intellectual property infringement claims arising from the Service when used in accordance with the Terms, and customers indemnify Harvey for third-party claims arising from their Input or Customer Data. Carve-outs apply where infringement results from customer-provided materials or customer Input or Customer Data violating the Terms....
Why it matters: This provision allocates third-party claim risk between the parties based on the source of the allegedly infringing or harmful content. The customer's indemnification obligation for claims arising from Input and Customer Data is operationally significant for legal sector customers who may submit client materials, third-party documents, or privileged content to the Service....

Harvey AI
· Harvey AI Terms of Service
The agreement requires fee disputes to be submitted to accountsreceivable@harvey.ai within 30 days of the invoice date.

Harvey may suspend Service access for undisputed past-due amounts after providing written late payment notice....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a 30-day deadline for disputing invoices and authorizes Harvey to assess compounding interest on overdue undisputed amounts and to suspend Service access for nonpayment. The Service access suspension right is operationally significant for organizations that depend on continuous platform availability....

Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms state that any unsolicited content, idea, or submission sent to Zelle automatically becomes Zelle's property with no payment owed, and Zelle may use, redistribute, or publicly disclose such submissions in any form for any purpose, including in new or existing products....
Why it matters: This provision asserts an automatic IP assignment from the submitter to Zelle for any unsolicited material, with no compensation obligation and no confidentiality requirement. Under this clause, Zelle may also publicly disclose such submissions at its discretion, which creates IP and confidentiality exposure for users or partners who communicate ideas outside of a formal agreement....
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
In jurisdictions where full exclusion of consequential or incidental damages is not permitted, the terms cap the Zelle Network's total financial liability to any user at $100.00, to the extent permitted by applicable law....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a $100.00 ceiling on the Zelle Network's financial liability in states where broader damage exclusions cannot be fully enforced, which applies to claims arising from site use, content inaccuracies, and related matters. The practical scope of this cap depends on state law and is qualified by 'to the greatest extent permitted by law.'...
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms authorize Zelle to update these Terms at any time by posting revised versions on the site, with no direct notification to users required, and state that continued site use constitutes irrevocable acceptance of any changes....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that the legal terms governing site use can change without direct user notification, placing the obligation to monitor for changes on users. The characterization of continued use as 'irrevocable' acceptance is a stronger formulation than affirmative consent and may face scrutiny under electronic contract formation standards in certain jurisdictions....
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms state that Zelle makes no security representations for third-party sites linked from Zelle, and users irrevocably waive any claims against Zelle arising from interactions with those third-party sites, including the provision of credit card and personal information....
Why it matters: This provision requires users to waive, irrevocably and in advance, all claims against Zelle arising from third-party site interactions, including those involving credit card and personal data exposure. The enforceability of pre-dispute waivers of claims related to financial and personal data harm may be constrained by applicable consumer protection and financial services law....
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms state that Zelle will cooperate with law enforcement or court orders to disclose user identity information, and users waive all claims against the Zelle Network arising from Zelle's investigation actions or from actions taken by law enforcement as a result of those investigations....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that Zelle may disclose user identity to law enforcement based on suspected violations of these Terms, and that users waive claims arising from those disclosures or any resulting law enforcement actions. The scope of the hold harmless for law enforcement-consequent actions is broad and its enforceability may depend on applicable privacy and due process standards....
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms state that Delaware law governs these Terms, with the exception of Section 10, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, indicating the presence of an arbitration provision....
Why it matters: This provision establishes Delaware as the governing law for site-level terms and designates the FAA as the governing framework for Section 10, which by reference indicates an arbitration clause. The interaction between the FAA carve-out and Delaware consumer law creates a dual-framework structure for dispute resolution that may affect users' ability to rely on state-specific consumer protections....
-
Zelle
· Zelle Terms of Service
The terms authorize Zelle to suspend user accounts, remove content, and terminate accounts without prior notice based on Zelle's sole discretion determination that a terms violation has occurred....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes account suspension and termination without notice at Zelle's sole discretion, including during an ongoing investigation. The absence of a required pre-suspension notice or appeal process is an operationally significant feature of this enforcement framework....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
The RSP establishes defined capability thresholds (ASL levels) that, when crossed by a model, require Anthropic to implement specified upgraded security and deployment safeguards and to document and publish affirmative risk mitigation cases....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the core operational trigger mechanism of the RSP: internally defined capability benchmarks that create mandatory internal obligations for Anthropic to upgrade safeguards and publish risk assessments before continuing deployment of models crossing those thresholds....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
The LTBT holds authority to request external review of Risk Reports and to approve Anthropic's selection of external reviewers, with a requirement that all unredacted sections of a Risk Report be evaluated by at least one external reviewer....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a structural check on Anthropic's unilateral control over its own safety audit process by vesting reviewer selection approval authority in the LTBT, an entity distinct from Anthropic's operational leadership....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
Anthropic maintains a Noncompliance Reporting and Anti-Retaliation Policy that provides employees with channels to report potential RSP violations and protection against retaliation, including a pathway for informal inquiries about potential violations....

-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
Anthropic's ASL-3 deployment safeguards use a four-layer architecture consisting of access controls, real-time prompt and output classifiers, asynchronous monitoring classifiers, and post-hoc jailbreak detection with rapid response procedures, applied to interactions across Claude.ai and the API....
Why it matters: This provision describes the technical architecture through which Anthropic monitors and filters user interactions with its models at ASL-3 capability levels, establishing that both real-time and asynchronous analysis of user inputs and AI outputs will be conducted as a structural feature of deployment....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
Partners seeking access to Claude with adjusted safeguards beyond the standard deployment must undergo an enhanced due diligence review assessed against two criteria: overall trustworthiness and the beneficial nature of their use case....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a gatekeeping mechanism for adjusted safeguard access, requiring partners to satisfy Anthropic's assessment of trustworthiness and use-case benefit before receiving modified deployment conditions, with Anthropic retaining discretion over both criteria....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
Anthropic discloses that in implementing the prior RSP, the company identified several instances of non-compliance with its own requirements, including delayed evaluation timelines, missing elicitation techniques, and evaluations not explicitly designed to meet stated scaling buffer requirements....
Why it matters: This provision discloses that Anthropic's adherence to its own stated RSP requirements has not been complete, with specific procedural gaps identified in evaluation timelines, methodology, and buffer assessment; the company characterizes these gaps as minimal risk and uses them as a basis for policy revisions....
-
Anthropic
· Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
ASL-3 security standards require multi-party authorization, hardware authentication, and temporary least-privilege access grants for model weights, with mandatory code review on production code affecting weights access, intended to reduce exfiltration risk....
Why it matters: This provision describes the access control architecture for model weights as a core ASL-3 security requirement, establishing procedural controls including multi-party authorization and hardware authentication tokens as prerequisites for any weights access....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy states that LlamaIndex may generate inferences or predictions about individual users' interests and preferences derived from collected personal data and platform interactions....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes LlamaIndex to create derived data profiles about users beyond the information directly collected, which may be used for targeted advertising, personalization, or other purposes described in the policy....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy states that where users access LlamaIndex services in an employment context, the company may disclose personal data including usage information to the user's employer....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes disclosure of individual user activity data to employers without specifying what categories of usage data may be shared or what notice, if any, is provided to the individual user prior to disclosure....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy states that it only covers LlamaIndex's data practices as a controller, and explicitly excludes from its scope any personal data LlamaIndex processes on behalf of enterprise customers acting as processors; individuals whose data is processed in that context must direct requests to the relevant customer rather than to LlamaIndex....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a structural limitation on the scope of data subject rights exercisable directly against LlamaIndex, creating a dependency on enterprise customers' own privacy notices and processes for end users of LlamaIndex-powered products....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy authorizes LlamaIndex to share hashed email addresses or user IDs with third-party advertising partners and to use cookies, pixels, mobile SDKs, and other tracking technologies to facilitate cross-site and cross-device targeted advertising based on user behavioral data....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes cross-context behavioral advertising using persistent identifiers shared with third-party ad networks, enabling user tracking across nonaffiliated websites and services beyond the LlamaIndex platform itself....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy states that personal data may be transferred to third parties as an asset in connection with mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, asset sales, or insolvency proceedings, including during the negotiation phase of such transactions....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes disclosure of personal data to prospective acquirers or creditors during deal negotiations and in insolvency proceedings, which may occur before any transaction is finalized and without individual user notification at the time of transfer....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Privacy Policy
The policy states that personal data is retained for no longer than reasonably necessary for its collection purpose, with discretion to retain longer for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or rights protection, and without specifying fixed retention periods for any data category....
Why it matters: The policy does not specify fixed retention periods for any personal data category, applying instead a general reasonableness standard with open-ended extensions for legal and business purposes, which may require evaluation against GDPR storage limitation requirements and applicable state law mandates....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement states that LlamaIndex owns all diagnostic, technical, and usage data collected from users' computers, devices, systems, and software, and that users assign any ownership rights they may have in such data to LlamaIndex. This data may be used for product improvement, research, usage monitoring, and sharing with third parties in de-identified or aggregated form....
Why it matters: This provision asserts that LlamaIndex holds exclusive ownership over Usage Data collected from user systems and software interactions, and authorizes its use for any lawful purpose including product development, analytics research, and third-party sharing in aggregated form. The assignment mechanism is drafted to cover any residual ownership interests users might otherwise retain....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement provides that any suggestions, recommendations, or feedback a user submits about the Service or LlamaIndex products is fully assigned to LlamaIndex, including all intellectual property rights, and LlamaIndex may use it for any purpose without attribution or compensation....
Why it matters: This provision operates as a present-tense IP assignment: upon submission of any feedback, all intellectual property rights in that feedback transfer to LlamaIndex. The clause covers not only direct suggestions but also ideas, know-how, concepts, and techniques contained in the feedback, which may encompass proprietary technical information submitted by organizational users....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement establishes that subscriptions are billed automatically on a weekly basis whenever a user's usage exceeds a defined threshold, and charges continue until the user cancels by contacting cancel@runllama.ai....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a usage-triggered automatic billing cycle on a weekly basis, meaning charges can be incurred without a separate affirmative enrollment action each billing period once the threshold is exceeded. Cancellation requires affirmative action by emailing cancel@runllama.ai....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement requires users to defend and indemnify LlamaIndex and its affiliates, officers, and directors against all claims, damages, and legal fees arising from the user's access to the Service, violations of these Terms, User Content submitted, violations of third-party rights, and any use of the Service by third parties with the user's credentials....
Why it matters: This provision creates a broad user-side indemnification obligation covering not only intentional violations but also third-party use of the user's account credentials, which may include unauthorized access scenarios. The obligation covers direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential damages as well as legal fees....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement prohibits users from using any content available on or through the Service, including metadata, for machine learning or AI training purposes, and prohibits use for technologies designed to identify natural persons....
Why it matters: This restriction in Section 2.2(c) explicitly prohibits a category of use that is particularly relevant for the developer and enterprise audience likely to use an AI document indexing platform. The prohibition covers not only direct content but also caption information, keywords, and other metadata associated with Service content....
-
LlamaIndex
· LlamaIndex Terms of Service
The agreement authorizes LlamaIndex to permanently terminate or temporarily suspend any user's account and Service access at any time, with or without notice, with or without cause, and without liability. Users remain bound by these Terms following termination....
Why it matters: This provision grants LlamaIndex broad discretion to terminate or suspend access without notice, cause, or liability, which may affect organizational users who depend on the Service for operational workflows. The no-refund policy for termination means users may lose prepaid subscription value upon termination....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
The agreement authorizes Baseten to compile deidentified, anonymized, and aggregated usage and performance data derived from Customer, Authorized User, and End User interactions with the platform, and asserts that Baseten owns all such Statistical Data and may use it for any lawful business purpose including product improvement and development....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that Baseten holds ownership rights over a category of data derived from Customer platform activity, which may have implications for Customer data governance policies and competitive sensitivity assessments, particularly where usage patterns or performance metrics could reveal proprietary operational information about Customer deployments....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
The agreement grants Baseten a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable license to use or incorporate into its services any feedback, suggestions, or enhancement requests submitted by Customer or its Authorized Users, without attribution....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that Customer organizations have no mechanism to withdraw or restrict Baseten's use of feedback once submitted, and that Baseten may sublicense such feedback, which may have implications for organizations whose feedback incorporates proprietary insights about model performance, architecture, or operational workflows....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
The DPA requires Baseten to provide at least fifteen days advance notice of new Sub-Processor engagements via the Sub-Processor List or opt-in notification, and permits Customer to object in writing to privacy@baseten.co within five calendar days; if the objection cannot be resolved, the sole remedy available to Customer is termination of the relevant services....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the operational mechanism through which GDPR Article 28 sub-processor approval obligations are managed, and limits Customer's recourse upon unresolvable sub-processor objection to termination rather than continuation of services with a different configuration, which may be operationally significant for production ML deployments....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
Each Order renews automatically for successive one-year terms unless either party delivers written non-renewal notice at least sixty days before the end of the current annual term....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a sixty-day advance written notice requirement to prevent automatic renewal, which creates a contract management trigger for enterprise procurement calendars managing annual platform fee obligations....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
Following termination or expiration of the Agreement, Baseten provides a twenty-day window during which Customer may retrieve Customer Content through the platform; after this window, Baseten discontinues all use of and destroys all copies of Customer Content unless Customer has instructed earlier deletion....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a fixed twenty-day data retrieval window post-termination, after which Customer Content is destroyed, requiring Customer organizations to operationalize data extraction before the deadline to avoid permanent data loss....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
The agreement requires Customer to defend and indemnify Baseten at Customer's expense against third-party claims arising from Customer's use of Baseten products outside permitted parameters (Exclusions), Customer trademarks, or Customer's breach or alleged breach of the content and data warranties in Section 5.2....
Why it matters: This provision places defense and indemnification obligations on Customer for claims arising from alleged warranty breaches, including claims based on the allegation of a breach even where no actual breach is established, which creates exposure for Customer organizations in the event third parties challenge the legality or appropriateness of Customer Content or model deployments....
-
Baseten
· Baseten Terms of Service
The agreement authorizes Baseten to suspend all Customer and Authorized User access to the platform if any fees remain unpaid for more than thirty days, and to maintain the suspension until all overdue amounts are paid in full....

Stash
· Stash Terms of Use (Superseded URL)
The terms authorize Stash to amend the Terms of Use at any time, with notification delivered via website posting, email, push message, text, or mail. Continued use of the platform after receiving such notification, without submitting a written objection, constitutes binding acceptance of all amended terms....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that any amendment to the Terms of Use becomes binding upon the user through continued platform use, provided notification was delivered through any of the listed channels. The mechanism does not require affirmative re-consent, placing the obligation on the user to monitor for changes and submit a written objection to avoid being bound....
-
Stash
· Stash Terms of Use (Superseded URL)
The terms authorize Stash to terminate, restrict, or modify a user's access to the platform or any service at its sole discretion and without prior notice, and to immediately deactivate or delete user accounts and associated data upon a Terms violation....
Why it matters: This provision reserves broad termination authority for Stash, including the ability to delete account data without advance notice.

Why it matters: This provision grants Stash and its successors and assigns the right to derive commercial revenue from user-submitted content for the full term of any applicable intellectual property rights, without compensation to the submitter. The scope of this license extends to derivative works and future technologies, and the agreement explicitly states that Stash's entitlement to use submissions is unrestricted as to purpose....
-
Stash
· Stash Terms of Use (Superseded URL)
The terms limit Stash's total liability for all claims to the amount paid by the user in the twelve months preceding the event, and disclaim all indirect, consequential, and punitive damages. A carve-out preserves liability that cannot be disclaimed under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or other applicable law....
Why it matters: This provision caps aggregate financial liability at twelve months of fees paid, which for users on lower-tier subscription plans may represent a minimal dollar amount relative to potential investment or banking losses. The explicit Investment Advisers Act carve-out acknowledges that statutory liability for investment advisory services cannot be contractually disclaimed, creating a relevant distinction between advisory and non-advisory service claims....
-
Stash
· Stash Terms of Use (Superseded URL)
The terms establish that using the platform constitutes consent to Stash recording, retaining, and using all communications, information, and data exchanged between the user and Stash or its agents for business purposes, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy....

Users agree to indemnify Stash, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and Stride Bank from any third-party claims, damages, and legal costs arising from the user's Terms violations, improper platform use, intellectual property infringement, or content uploaded through the user's account....
Why it matters: This provision extends indemnification obligations to claims arising from use of the user's account by any person, including unauthorized users, which may create financial exposure for users in the event of account compromise or unauthorized use. The obligation covers attorney's fees and expenses for both Stash and its Partner Bank....
-
Stash
· Stash Terms of Use (Superseded URL)
Stash disclaims all express and implied warranties regarding the platform, services, content, and materials, including warranties of accuracy, security, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, and freedom from viruses or harmful components....
Why it matters: This provision disclaims all warranties applicable to the platform and its content, including warranties of accuracy and security. For a financial services platform where users rely on market data, investment information, and account balances, the disclaimer of accuracy and security warranties is operationally relevant, though the Investment Advisers Act carve-out in the liability limitation provision may constrain the full application of this disclaimer to advisory services....

GitHub
· GitHub Copilot Product Terms
The terms state that Prompts (code and contextual data sent to GitHub) are encrypted in transit, deleted after Suggestions are generated, and not used for any other purpose by default. Retention occurs only under three enumerated conditions: CLI or non-editor tool usage, private language model fine-tuning requests, and alternative data handling configurations such as third-party extension enablement....
Why it matters: This provision establishes the default data lifecycle for Prompt data and defines the conditions under which retention is triggered. Enterprise organizations with source code confidentiality requirements or data minimization obligations under GDPR or similar frameworks should map their active Copilot configurations against the three retention conditions specified in Section 6(B)....

· GitHub Copilot Product Terms
The terms state that GitHub asserts no ownership over AI-generated Suggestions and that users retain ownership of the code they write, including modifications to Suggestions....

Organizations deploying Copilot in commercial development environments should assess whether this responsibility allocation is reflected in their internal development policies and downstream contract representations....
