Supporting quotations
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Claude.ai, Claude Pro, and other products and services that we may offer for individuals, along with any associated apps, software, and websites (together, our “Services”).
These Terms are a contract between you and Anthropic, PBC ("Anthropic") (and not our Providers), and they include our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://anthropic.com/aup).
By accessing our Services, you agree to these Terms.
Effective October 8, 2025
Qualifications & exceptions
The Acceptable Use Policy is made part of the Terms, so its rules bind users even though they are set out in a separate document.
"Providers" is defined in Section 10 as Anthropic's affiliates, licensors, distributors and service providers; they are not parties to this contract, although Section 11 names them as intended beneficiaries of its warranty disclaimers and liability limits.
Anthropic may change these Terms under Section 12; continued access after notice of an update counts as acceptance.

Use & Processing · Context
How Anthropic collects and uses personal information is in a separate Privacy Policy
The Terms point to Anthropic's Privacy Policy for how it collects and uses personal information. Unlike the Acceptable Use Policy, the Terms ask you to read the Privacy Policy but do not state that it is included in the Terms.

API keys and the Anthropic Console fall under the separate Commercial Terms, not these Terms
Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service, not these consumer Terms, govern use of any Anthropic API key, the Anthropic Console, and any other Anthropic offering that references the Commercial Terms. The Terms clarify that this carve-out does not cover Claude.ai or Claude Pro use, whether by individuals or by entities, so that use stays under these Terms.

Our [Commercial Terms of Service](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms) govern your use of any Anthropic API key, the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/), or any other Anthropic offerings that reference the Commercial Terms of Service.
For clarity, this does not include Claude.ai or Claude Pro use for individuals or entities.

You also may not engage in conduct that Anthropic reasonably believes exposes Anthropic, or any of its users, affiliates or any other third party, to liability, damages or detriment of any type, including reputational harm. Whether conduct falls under the second part turns on Anthropic's reasonable belief rather than on a specific listed act.

Qualifications & exceptions

Content & IP Rights · Context
Inputs, Outputs, Actions and Materials are defined terms used throughout the Terms
The Terms define what you submit to the Services in any format as "Inputs". Responses the Services generate are "Outputs". Actions the Services take on your behalf based on your Inputs, such as software manipulation, data processing and system interactions, are "Actions". Inputs and Outputs together are "Materials"; Actions are not part of Materials.

You are responsible for all Inputs you submit and for all Actions. By submitting Inputs, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses and permissions Anthropic needs to process those Inputs under the Terms and to provide the Services, for example to integrate with third-party services, share Materials with others at your direction, and take Actions.

Subject to your compliance with our Terms, we assign to you all of our right, title, and interest—if any—in Outputs.
Qualifications & exceptions

Retaining rights in Inputs does not limit Anthropic's permitted use of Materials described under "Our use of Materials".
Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context
Outputs and Actions may be inaccurate, and you should confirm them before relying on them

Use & Processing · Company practice
Anthropic may train its models on your chats unless you opt out, with two exceptions that apply even after opting out
Anthropic may use Materials (your Inputs and Outputs) to provide, maintain and improve the Services and to develop other products and services, including training its models, unless you opt out of training through your account settings. Even if you opt out, Anthropic will use Materials for model training in two cases: (1) when you give Feedback about any Materials, or (2) when your Materials are flagged for safety review, to improve its ability to detect harmful content, enforce its policies or advance its safety research.
Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions
The opt-out is described as an opt-out of training; the sentence does not say it stops other listed uses such as providing, maintaining and improving the Services.
Section 5 says rating an Output (for example thumbs up or down) stores the related conversation as Feedback, so a rating brings that conversation within the first exception.
Not stated here
How long Materials are kept, and how flagging for safety review is decided, is not stated here; the Privacy Policy that may cover this is not supplied.
Data Access & Collection · Company practice
Rating a response, such as with thumbs up or down, stores that whole conversation as Feedback

Charges & Financial Obligations · Company commitment
Anthropic may raise fees, but you get a chance to accept additional fees before being charged
Anthropic may increase fees for the Services. If it charges additional fees in connection with the Services, it will give you an opportunity to review and accept them before you are charged. Additional fees may also apply to new Services or features. If you do not accept such additional fees, Anthropic may discontinue your access to the Services or features.

Charges & Financial Obligations · Procedure
Cancel at least 24 hours before your term ends to avoid renewal; cancelled fees are not refunded
If you subscribed on Anthropic's website, you may cancel for any reason through a method Anthropic provides in its products (for Claude Pro, the customer portal) or by emailing support@anthropic.com. If you subscribed through an app, you must cancel through the App Distributor under its terms. To avoid renewal and the next term's charges, cancel at least 24 hours before the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term; for example, a one-month Subscription started January 25 must be cancelled by February 23.

To avoid renewal and charges for the next Renewal Term, cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.
For example, if you subscribe on January 25th for a Subscription with a one-month Initial Term, you must cancel the Subscription per the instructions by February 23rd (24 hours before February 24th) to avoid renewal and charges for the next Renewal Term.
In the event of a cancellation, your fees will not be refunded, but your access to the Services will continue through the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term for which you previously paid fees.

Unless Anthropic specifically agrees otherwise in a separate agreement with you, it reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue the Services or your access, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. It says it will strive to give reasonable advance notice before it stops offering a Service, but urgent situations, such as preventing abuse, legal requirements, or security and operability issues, may make notice infeasible.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure
California law governs, and disputes go only to state or federal courts in San Francisco
The Terms are governed by California law, without applying conflict-of-law principles. You and Anthropic agree that disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California, and both submit to those courts' personal and exclusive jurisdiction. By accessing the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other jurisdictions. This version of the Terms contains no arbitration clause or class-action waiver.
Supporting quotations
Our Terms will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to conflict of law principles.
You and Anthropic agree that any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and Anthropic submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
By accessing our Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Qualifications & exceptions
The waiver of claims under other jurisdictions' laws sits alongside the Terms' own acknowledgments that some local laws may override the disclaimers and liability limits, and that residents of Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan have a legal 7-day cancellation right.
The absence of arbitration is observed in this saved page only; linked policies are not supplied.
Not stated here
How the waiver of other jurisdictions' claims interacts with mandatory consumer protections where you live is not explained in the Terms.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): Residents of Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan may cancel within 7 days without giving a reason — contrast: The governing-law clause says you waive claims arising under other jurisdictions' laws, while the cancellation section describes the 7-day right of residents of Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan as a legal right. The Terms do not reconcile the waiver with such local rights.
