Welcome to Anthropic! Before accessing our Services, please read these Commercial Terms of Service.

These Commercial Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between Anthropic and you or the organization, company, or other entity that you represent (“Customer”). "Anthropic" means Anthropic Ireland, Limited if Customer resides in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or UK, and Anthropic, PBC if Customer resides anywhere else. They govern Customer’s use of any Anthropic API key, the Anthropic Console, Team or enterprise tools, or any other Anthropic offerings that references these Terms (the “Services”). These Terms are effective on the earlier of the date that Customer first electronically consents to a version of these Terms and the date that Customer first accesses the Services (“Effective Date”). These Terms incorporate by reference our Service Specific Terms.

Please note: You may not enter into these Terms on behalf of an organization, company, or other entity unless you have the legal authority to bind that entity. Services under these Terms are not for consumer use. Our consumer offerings (e.g., Claude.ai) are governed by our Consumer Terms of Service instead.

A. Services

1. Overview. Subject to these Terms, Customer may use the Services, including to make submissions to the Services (“Prompts”) and generate responses to its Prompts (“Outputs” and, together with Prompts, “Customer Content”).
2. Beta Services. Anthropic may offer Services that are in pre-release, beta, or trial form (“Beta Services”). This means that they are not suitable for production use and provided “as-is” on a temporary basis. Anthropic is not responsible for Customer’s use of or reliance on Beta Services.
3. Feedback. If Customer decides, in its sole discretion, to provide Anthropic with feedback regarding the Services, Anthropic may use that feedback at its own risk and without obligation to Customer.
4. Customer Content. As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Anthropic agrees that Customer owns all Outputs, and disclaims any rights it receives to the Customer Content under these Terms. Anthropic does not anticipate obtaining any rights in 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 paid Services.
5. Data Privacy. If Customer submits personal data or personally identifiable information (collectively, “PII”) to the Services, the Anthropic Data Processing Addendum in Exhibit A applies and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

B. Trust and Safety; Restrictions

1. Compliance. Each party will comply with all laws applicable to the provision (for Anthropic) and use (for Customer) of the Services, including any applicable data privacy laws.
2. Acceptable Use Policy. Customer may only use the Services in compliance with these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which is incorporated by reference into these Terms, and which may be updated by Anthropic. Customer must use reasonable efforts to ensure the same of its customers or other end users (“Users”). Customer must cooperate with reasonable requests for information from Anthropic to support compliance with its AUP, including to verify Customer’s identity and use of the Services.
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.
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 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. Customer and its Users may only use the Services in the countries and regions Anthropic currently supports.
5. Security. Customer will promptly notify Anthropic if Customer believes or knows that (a) the account it uses to access the Services has been compromised, or (b) Customer is subject to a denial of service or similar malicious attack that may negatively impact the Services.

C. Confidentiality

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.
2. Obligations of Parties. The receiving party ("Recipient") may only use the 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. Recipient will promptly notify Discloser if it suspects or knows that Discloser’s Confidential Information was breached, and agrees to cooperate to mitigate further risks of loss or misuse.
3. Exclusions. Recipient’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information do not apply if Recipient demonstrates that Discloser’s Confidential Information was (a) already known to Recipient at the time of disclosure by Discloser, (b) disclosed to Recipient by a third party without a duty of confidentiality, (c) publicly available through no fault of Recipient, or (d) independently developed by Recipient without use of or access to Discloser’s Confidential Information. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent it is required by law, or court or administrative order, but will, except where expressly prohibited, notify Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and fully cooperate with Discloser.
4. Destruction Request. Recipient will destroy Discloser’s Confidential Information promptly upon request, except copies in Recipient’s automated back-up systems, which will remain subject to these obligations of confidentiality while maintained.

D. Intellectual Property

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.

E. Publicity

Anthropic may use Customer's name and logo to publicly identify Customer as a customer of the Services. Customer will consider in good faith any request by Anthropic to (1) provide a quote from a Customer executive regarding Customer’s motivation for using the Services that Anthropic may use publicly and (2) participate in a public co-marketing activity.

F. Fees

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.
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)).
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.

G. Termination and Suspension

1. Term. These Terms start on the Effective Date and continue until terminated (the “Term”).
2. Termination.
   1. Each party may terminate these Terms at any time for convenience with Notice, except Anthropic must provide 30 days prior Notice.
   2. 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.
   3. 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.
3. Suspension.
   1. 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 B.1 (Compliance), B.2 (Acceptable Use Policy) or B.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 of Anthropic has suspended or terminated Anthropic’s use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services (each, a “Service Suspension”).
   2. 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. Anthropic will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer may incur because of a Service Suspension.
4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination, Customer may no longer access the Services. The following provisions will survive termination or expiration of these Terms: (a) Sections C (Confidentiality), E (Publicity), F (Fees), G.4 (Effect of Termination), H (Disputes), I (Indemnification), J.2 (Disclaimer of Warranties), J.3 (Limits on Liability), and K (Miscellaneous); (b) any provision or condition that must survive to fulfil its essential purpose.

H. Disputes

1. Disputes. In the event of a dispute, claim or controversy relating to these Terms (“Dispute”), the parties will first attempt in good faith to informally resolve the matter. The party raising the Dispute must notify the other party (“Dispute Notice”), who will have 15 days from the date of delivery of the Dispute Notice to propose a time for the parties to meet with appropriately leveled executives to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties have not resolved the dispute within 45 days of delivery of the Dispute Notice, either party may seek to resolve the dispute through arbitration as stated in Section H.2 (Arbitration).
2. Arbitration. Any Dispute will be determined in English by final, binding arbitration according to the region-specific processes below. Judgment on any award issued through the applicable arbitration process in this Section H.2 (Arbitration) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. EACH PARTY AGREES THEY ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE RIGHT TO JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER THE LAW IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS.
   1. For Customers residing in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK, Disputes will be determined by a sole arbitrator in Dublin, Ireland pursuant the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as at present in force. The appointing authority shall be the President for the time being of the Law Society
      of Ireland.
   2. For Customers residing anywhere else, Disputes will be determined by a sole arbitrator in San Francisco, CA pursuant to the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.
3. Equitable Relief. This Section H (Disputes) does not limit either party from seeking equitable relief.

I. Indemnification

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 third-party patent, trade secret, trademark, or copyright rights.
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) Prompts or (b) use of the Services in violation of the AUP, the Service Specific Terms, or Section B.4 (Use Restrictions). Anthropic Claims and Customer Claims are each a “Claim”, as applicable.
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) Prompts 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.
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. 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.
5. Sole Remedy. To the extent covered under this Section I (Indemnification), indemnification is each party’s sole and exclusive remedy under these Terms for any third-party claims.

J. Warranties and Limits on Liability

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 Prompts to the Services.

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.
3. Limits on Liability.
   1. Except as stated in Section J.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 actually paid by Customer for the Services in the previous 12 months.

   4. The parties agree that they have entered into these Terms in reliance on the terms of this Section J.3 (Limits on Liability) and those terms form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.

K. Miscellaneous

1. Notices. All notices, demands, waivers, and other communications under these Terms (each, a "Notice") must be in writing.

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. 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.
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 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.
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.
6. Interpretation. These Terms will be construed mutually, with neither party considered the drafter. Document and section titles are provided for convenience and will not be interpreted. The phrases “for example” or “including” or “or” are not limiting.

8. Export and Sanctions. Customer may not export or provide access to the Services to persons or entities or into countries or for uses where it is prohibited under U.S. or other applicable international law.

9. Integration. These Terms (including the AUP, 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. These Terms supersede all other understandings or agreements between the parties regarding the Services. If Customer has also agreed to our Consumer Terms of Service, these Terms control.
10. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

The Parties are set out in the preamble to this DPA. With regard to any transfers of Covered Data falling within the scope of Applicable Data Protection Laws, additional information regarding the data exporter and data importer is set out below.
