Watch: indemnity liability
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
This segment clarifies that liability limitations do not apply to indemnification obligations under Section K, but broadly applies the limitations to tort, negligence, all forms of action, and even foreseeable damages, to the maximum extent permitted by law, constituting a comprehensive limitation of liability clause.
This segment establishes Anthropic's obligation to defend and indemnify Customer against third-party claims arising from Customer's paid use of the Services, defines 'Customer Claim' to include claims related to data Anthropic used to train models, creating a training-data-linked indemnification obligation in favor of Customer.
Section L.1 establishes mutual representations and warranties regarding authority and compliance, and Customer's warranty about permissions for Inputs. Section L.2 disclaims all warranties beyond those expressly stated, providing 'as is' and 'as available' service delivery without warranty of any kind, limiting Anthropic's liability for service quality.

" M.1. Notices. All notices, demands, waivers, and other communications under these Terms (each, a " Notice ") must be in writing. Except for notices related to demands to arbitrate or where equitable relief is sought, any Notices provided under these Terms may be delivered electronically to the address provided to Anthropic if to Customer; and to notices@anthropic.com if to Anthropic. Notice is effective only: (a) upon receipt by the receiving party, and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with all requirements of this Section M.1 (Notices). M.2. Electronic Communications. Customer agrees to receive electronic communications from Anthropic based on Customer’s use of the Services and related to these Terms. Except where prohibited by applicable law, electronic communications may be sent via email, through the Services or Customer’s management dashboard, or posted on Anthropic’s website. Anthropic may also provide electronic communications via text or SMS about Customer’s use of the Services or as Customer otherwise requests from Anthropic. If Customer wishes to stop receiving such messages, Customer may request it from Anthropic or respond to any such texts with “STOP”. M.3. Amendment and Modification. Anthropic may update these Terms at any time, to be effective 30 days after the updates are posted by Anthropic or Customer otherwise receives Notice, except that updates made in response to changes to law or regulation take effect immediately upon posting or Notice.

" H.1. Payment of Fees. Customer is responsible for fees incurred by its account, at the rates specified on the Model Pricing Page , unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Anthropic may require prepayment for the Services in the form of credits or offer other types of credits, all of which are subject to Anthropic’s Supplemental Credits Terms . Anthropic may update the published rates, to be effective the earlier of 30 days after the updates are posted by Anthropic or Customer otherwise receives Notice. H.2. Taxes. Fees do not include any taxes, duties, or assessments that may be owed by Customer for use of the Services (" Taxes "), unless otherwise specified in the applicable invoice. Customer is responsible for remitting any necessary withholding Taxes to the relevant authority on a timely basis and providing Anthropic with evidence of the same upon request. Where law provides for the reduction or elimination of withholding taxes, including via tax treaty, the parties will collaborate in good faith to do so. For clarity, Customer must pay Anthropic the amount (" Gross-up Payment ") that will ensure that Anthropic receives the same total amount that it would have received if no such withholding or reduction by Customer had been required (taking into account any and all applicable Taxes (including any Taxes imposed on the Gross-up Payment)). H.3. Billing. Failure to pay Anthropic all amounts owed when due may result in suspension or termination of Customer’s access to the Services. Anthropic reserves any other rights of collection it may have."
Section H.1 establishes Customer's obligation to pay fees at rates on the Model Pricing Page, provides for prepayment credits subject to Supplemental Credits Terms, and allows Anthropic to update rates with 30 days' notice. Section H.2 addresses tax obligations. These provisions define payment tiers and the financial conditions of service access.

" I.1. Term. These Terms start on the Effective Date and continue until terminated (the “ Term ”). I.2. Termination. I.2.a. Each party may terminate these Terms at any time for convenience with Notice, except Anthropic must provide 30 days prior Notice. I.2.b. Either party may terminate these Terms for the other party’s material breach by providing 30 days prior Notice detailing the nature of the breach unless cured within that time. I.2.c. Anthropic may terminate these Terms immediately with Notice if Anthropic reasonably believes or determines that Anthropic’s provision of the Services to Customer is prohibited by applicable law. I.3. Suspension. I.3.a. Anthropic may suspend Customer’s access to any portion or all of the Services if: (a) Anthropic reasonably believes or determines that (i) there is a risk to or attack on any of the Services; (ii) Customer or any User is using the Services in violation of Sections D.1 (Compliance), D.2 (Policies and Service Terms) or D.4 (Use Restrictions); or (iii) Anthropic’s provision of the Services to Customer is prohibited by applicable law or would result in a material increase in the cost of providing the Services; or (b) any vendor suspends or terminates Anthropic’s use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services (each, a “ Service Suspension ”). I.3.b. Anthropic will use reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer, and resume providing access to the Services, as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured, where curable. "
This segment establishes the term, termination procedures including convenience termination with notice periods, material breach termination with cure periods, and Anthropic's right to immediately terminate if it reasonably believes provision of Services would violate law or create legal risk, constituting enforcement mechanisms tied to compliance and service access.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" K.1. Claims Against Customer. Anthropic will defend Customer and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Customer Claim (as defined below) and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Customer Claim or that an arbitrator awards a third party under any Anthropic-approved settlement of such Customer Claim. " Customer Claim " means a third-party claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that Customer’s paid use of the Services (which includes data Anthropic has used to train a model that is part of the Services) in accordance with these Terms or Outputs generated through such authorized use violates any third-party intellectual property right. K.2. Claims Against Anthropic. Customer will defend Anthropic and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Anthropic Claim (as defined below) and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Anthropic Claim or that an arbitrator awards a third party under any Customer-approved settlement of such Anthropic Claim. “ Anthropic Claim ” means any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding related to Customer’s or its Users’ (a) Inputs or other data provided by Customer, or (b) use of the Services in violation of the Usage Policy, the Service Specific Terms, or Section D.4 (Use Restrictions). Anthropic Claims and Customer Claims are each a “ Claim ”, as applicable. "
This segment establishes Anthropic's obligation to defend and indemnify Customer against third-party claims arising from Customer's paid use of the Services, defines 'Customer Claim' to include claims related to data Anthropic used to train models, creating a training-data-linked indemnification obligation in favor of Customer.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" L.1. Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that (a) it is authorized to enter into these Terms; and (b) entering into and performing these Terms will not violate any of its corporate rules, if applicable. Customer further represents and warrants that it has all rights and permissions required to submit Inputs to the Services. L.2. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THESE TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (A) THE SERVICES AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND; AND (B) ANTHROPIC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY INTERFACES. ANTHROPIC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USE. ANTHROPIC DOES NOT WARRANT, AND DISCLAIMS THAT, THE SERVICES OR OUTPUTS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THEIR USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. REFERENCES TO A THIRD PARTY IN THE OUTPUTS MAY NOT MEAN THEY ENDORSE OR ARE OTHERWISE WORKING WITH ANTHROPIC. L.3. Limits on Liability. L.3.a. Except as stated in Section L.3.b, the liability of each party, and its affiliates and licensors, for any damages arising out of or related to these Terms (i) excludes damages that are consequential, incidental, special, indirect, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, business, contracts, revenue, goodwill, production, anticipated savings, or data, and costs of procurement of substitute goods or services and (ii) is limited to Fees paid by Customer for the Services in the previous 12 months. "
Section L.1 establishes mutual representations and warranties regarding authority and compliance, and Customer's warranty about permissions for Inputs. Section L.2 disclaims all warranties beyond those expressly stated, providing 'as is' and 'as available' service delivery without warranty of any kind, limiting Anthropic's liability for service quality.

"The indemnifying party’s obligations will be excused if either of the following materially prejudices the defense: (a) failure of the indemnified party to provide prompt notice of the Claim; or (b) failure to reasonably cooperate in the defense. K.5. Sole Remedy. To the extent covered under this Section K (Indemnification), indemnification is each party’s sole and exclusive remedy under these Terms for any third-party claims."
This segment establishes conditions that excuse the indemnifying party's obligations (failure to provide prompt notice or failure to cooperate in defense), and designates indemnification as each party's sole and exclusive remedy for third-party claims covered under the indemnification section, limiting available remedies.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Except as expressly stated in these Terms, these Terms do not grant either party any rights to the other’s content or intellectual property, by implication or otherwise."
This segment restricts both parties from acquiring any implied rights to the other's content or intellectual property beyond what is expressly granted in the Terms, clarifying the boundaries of IP ownership and preventing implied license claims over content including prompts and outputs.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" K.3. Exclusions. Neither party’s defense or indemnification obligations will apply to the extent the underlying allegation arises from the indemnified party’s fraud, willful misconduct, violations of law, or breach of the Agreement. Additionally, Anthropic’s defense and indemnification obligations will not apply to the extent the Customer Claim arises from: (a) modifications made by Customer to the Services or Outputs; (b) the combination of the Services or Outputs with technology or content not provided by Anthropic; (c) Inputs or other data provided by Customer; (d) use of the Services or Outputs in a manner that Customer knows or reasonably should know violates or infringes the rights of others; (e) the practice of a patented invention contained in an Output; or (f) an alleged violation of trademark based on use of an Output in trade or commerce. K.4. Process. The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party of the relevant Claim, and will reasonably cooperate in the defense. The indemnifying party will retain the right to control the defense of any such Claim, including the selection of counsel, the strategy and course of any litigation or appeals, and any negotiations or settlement or compromise, except that the indemnified party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to an ongoing affirmative obligation. "
This segment carves out exceptions to both parties' indemnification obligations, including fraud, willful misconduct, violations of law, and breach of agreement, and specifically excludes from Anthropic's obligations claims arising from Customer modifications, combinations with third-party technology, Customer's Inputs, or misuse of Services, limiting the scope of indemnification.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Changes will not apply retroactively. No other amendment to or modification of these Terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by both parties. Failure to exercise or delay in exercising any rights or remedies arising from these Terms does not and will not be construed as a waiver; and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy will preclude future exercise of such right or remedy. M.4. Assignment and Delegation. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under these Terms without the other party’s prior written consent, except that Anthropic may assign its rights and delegate its obligations to an affiliate or as part of a sale of all or substantially all its business. Any purported assignment or delegation is null and void except as permitted above. No permitted assignment or delegation will relieve the contracting party or assignees of their obligations under these Terms. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. M.5. Severability. If a provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will neither affect any other term or provision of these Terms nor invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify these Terms to reflect the parties’ original intent as closely as possible. "
This segment restricts modifications to the Terms to written, signed amendments by both parties (with an exception for Anthropic's unilateral updates to the Terms), prohibits retroactive changes, addresses waiver, and restricts assignment of rights or delegation of obligations without prior written consent (with an exception permitting Anthropic to assign in certain circumstances), governing the legal enforceability and transfer of the agreement.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Anthropic agrees that Customer (a) retains all rights to its Inputs, and (b) owns its Outputs. Anthropic disclaims any rights it receives to the Customer Content under these Terms. Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms, Anthropic hereby assigns to Customer its right, title and interest (if any) in and to Outputs. Anthropic may not train models on Customer Content from Services. “ Inputs ” means submissions to the Services by Customer or its Users and “ Outputs ” means responses generated by the Services to Inputs (Inputs and Outputs together are “ Customer Content ”)."
This segment establishes that Customer retains all rights to Inputs and owns Outputs, Anthropic assigns any rights it receives in Outputs to Customer, and explicitly prohibits Anthropic from training models on Customer Content.

Customer must cooperate with reasonable requests for information from Anthropic to support compliance with its Usage Policy, including to verify Customer’s identity and use of the Services. D.3. Limitations of Outputs; Notice to Users. It is Customer’s responsibility to evaluate whether Outputs are appropriate for Customer’s use case, including where human review is appropriate, before using or sharing Outputs. Customer acknowledges, and must notify its Users, that factual assertions in Outputs should not be relied upon without independently checking their accuracy, as they may be false, incomplete, misleading or not reflective of recent events or information. Customer further acknowledges that Outputs may contain content inconsistent with Anthropic’s views. D.4. Use Restrictions. Customer may not and must not attempt to (a) access the Services to build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models or resell the Services except as expressly approved by Anthropic; (b) reverse engineer or duplicate the Services; or (c) support any third party’s attempt at any of the conduct restricted in this sentence. "
Section D.1 imposes a mutual obligation on both parties to comply with all applicable laws, including data privacy laws. Section D.2 restricts Customer and its Users to using the Services only in compliance with the Usage Policy, Supported Regions Policy, and Service Specific Terms, all of which are incorporated by reference, creating binding compliance and moderation obligations.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" D.5. Service Account. Customer is responsible for all activity under its account. Customer will promptly notify Anthropic if Customer believes the account it uses to access the Services has been compromised, or is subject to a denial of service or similar malicious attack that may negatively impact the Services."
This segment imposes an obligation on Customer to be responsible for all account activity and to promptly notify Anthropic if the account is compromised or subject to malicious attack, creating an affirmative security and notification duty that supports trust and safety enforcement.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" A.1. Overview. Subject to these Terms, Anthropic gives Customer permission to use the Services, including to power products and services Customer makes available to its own customers and end users (“ Users ”). A.2. Third Party Features. Customer may elect (in its sole discretion) to use features, services or other content made available by third parties to Customer through the Services (“ Third Party Features ”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Third Party Features are not Services and, accordingly, Anthropic is not responsible for them. A.3. Feedback. If Customer provides (in its sole discretion) Anthropic with feedback regarding the Services, Anthropic may use that feedback at its own risk and without obligation to Customer."
Section A.1 grants Customer permission to use the Services, explicitly including powering Customer's own products and services for its users, establishing the commercial use license. A.2 addresses Third Party Features and disclaims Anthropic's responsibility for them. A.3 references Feedback provisions. Together these segments grant and limit the scope of the commercial use permission.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" E.1. Confidential Information. The parties may share information that is identified as confidential, proprietary, or similar, or that a party would reasonably understand to be confidential or proprietary ( "Confidential Information" ). Customer Content is Customer’s Confidential Information. E.2. Obligations of Parties. The receiving party ( "Recipient" ) may only use Confidential Information of the disclosing party ( "Discloser" ) to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms. Recipient may only share Discloser’s Confidential Information to Recipient’s employees, agents, and advisors that have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound to obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those provided in these Terms ( "Representatives" ). Recipient will protect Discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as Recipient protects its own Confidential Information, and with no less than reasonable care. Recipient is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Representatives. E.3. Exclusions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (a) becomes publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (b) is obtained by Recipient from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (c) is independently developed by Recipient without use of Confidential Information. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent it is required by law, or court or administrative order, and will, except where expressly prohibited, notify Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and fully cooperate with Discloser’s efforts to prevent or narrow the scope of disclosure. "
Section E.1 defines 'Confidential Information' (including Customer Content) and Section E.2 imposes obligations on the Recipient to use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and perform obligations under the Terms and to limit disclosure to employees and agents, establishing core confidentiality duties between the parties.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" E.4. Destruction Request. Recipient will destroy Discloser’s Confidential Information promptly upon request, except where retained to comply with law or copies in Recipient’s automated back-up systems, which will remain subject to these obligations of confidentiality while maintained."
This segment creates an obligation for the Recipient to destroy the Discloser's Confidential Information promptly upon request, with a carve-out for legal retention obligations and automated back-up systems that remain subject to confidentiality obligations, establishing a data destruction procedure tied to confidentiality.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Data submitted through the Services will be processed in accordance with the Anthropic Data Processing Addendum (“ DPA ”), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference."
This segment incorporates the Anthropic Data Processing Addendum (DPA) by reference into the Terms, establishing that all data submitted through the Services is governed by the DPA's processing obligations, which carry legal force as part of the agreement.

"sanctions. M.9. Integration. These Terms (including the Usage Policy , Supported Regions Policy , Service Specific Terms , DPA , Model Pricing Page and other documents or terms that are incorporated by reference by these Terms) constitute the parties’ entire understanding as to the Services’ provision and use.

Section M.9 establishes integration of the entire agreement including the Usage Policy, Supported Regions Policy, Service Specific Terms, DPA, Model Pricing Page, and other incorporated documents, superseding all prior agreements; Section M.10 provides a force majeure excuse for non-performance due to circumstances beyond reasonable control; and the sanctions reference restricts use in violation of applicable sanctions law.
