Summary of Changes

Scope of the Diff

• The diff states that approximately 1,458 words were removed.
• No replacement language, additions, or specific deleted provisions are provided.
• Because the actual deleted text is unavailable, the legal and commercial impact cannot be determined reliably.

AI Training and Customer Data

• The provided diff does not identify whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.
• It is therefore not possible to determine whether the revised document:
• Expands or restricts the provider’s rights to use customer data;
• Permits use of customer data for generalized model training;
• Limits training to de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data;
• Provides an opt-out or requires customer consent;
• Addresses retention or deletion of data used in training;
• Establishes ownership of inputs, outputs, or model improvements; or
• Imposes confidentiality, security, or data-isolation obligations.

Potential Legal Risks

The removal of 1,458 words could materially affect the agreement, particularly if the deleted provisions addressed:

• Data-use rights: Deletion of limitations could leave broader implied or default rights, while deletion of an authorization could restrict permitted processing.
• AI-related protections: Deleted restrictions on model training, human review, or use of prompts and outputs could increase confidentiality and intellectual-property risks.
• Confidentiality: Removed exclusions, permitted-use language, or survival provisions could weaken protection for customer information.
• Privacy and security: Deleted processing instructions, security commitments, breach obligations, or data-retention terms could create compliance gaps.
• Ownership and licensing: Deleted language may alter rights in customer data, generated outputs, feedback, or derivative works.
• Liability allocation: Removal of indemnities, warranties, disclaimers, or liability caps could significantly change exposure.
• Termination and deletion: Deleted post-termination deletion or return obligations could affect continued retention of customer data.

Assessment Limitation

This diff is insufficient for a substantive legal comparison. The deleted text—or a full before-and-after version of the agreement—is required to identify the actual changes, including any changes concerning customer data and AI model training.

Executive Summary

The diff appears to replace or substantially restructure the prior Terms of Use with terms for the 2U.com website. It introduces broader website-related rules, expanded disclaimers and liability protections, electronic communications consent, and Virginia forum/law provisions. The diff does not expressly address using customer or user data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve artificial-intelligence models.

Important Changes and Risks

1. Contract formation and incorporated policies

• The terms now apply to using or merely accessing the 2U.com website.
• Acceptance is based on website use or access rather than a physical or electronic signature.
• The Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy, supplemental terms, legal notices, and other communications by reference.
• Risk: Users may be bound by additional terms that are not fully reproduced in the agreement. The relevant Privacy Policy should be reviewed separately, particularly for data use and AI provisions.

2. Unilateral changes

• 2U expressly reserves the right to modify or change the Terms without notice.
• Continued use is subject to the version posted when the website is used.
• Risk: Terms may change without affirmative user consent, potentially including privacy, communications, dispute-resolution, or data-use provisions.

3. Privacy and communications

• The revised language states that the Privacy Policy explains how 2U may collect and use information “from and about” users when they visit the website.
• Providing an email address, phone number, or other contact point constitutes consent to communications from 2U, including by email and phone, regarding university programs.
• Electronic communications are deemed to satisfy legal written-notice requirements.
• Risk: This creates broad consent for electronic and potentially telephone communications. The scope of marketing, transactional, automated, and text communications is not clearly defined in the diff.

4. Website materials and intellectual property

• “Materials” is defined broadly to include text, designs, logos, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, documentation, technology, sound files, and other files.
• Users receive only a limited right to view, access, download, or print materials for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes.
• Reproduction, public display, distribution, modification, commercial use, or other unauthorized use is prohibited.
• Risk: The restrictions may limit copying, educational reuse, data extraction, and other activities that users might otherwise assume are permitted.

5. Eligibility and user conduct

• Users represent that they are at least 18 and legally capable of agreeing to the Terms.
• Prohibited conduct includes unlawful or inappropriate use, automated scripts or scraping, impersonation, misrepresentation, and publishing third-party private information.
• 2U may determine whether conduct is “inappropriate” in its sole discretion.
• Risk: The conduct restrictions are broad and could support suspension or enforcement based on subjective standards.

6. Disclaimers, liability, and indemnification

• The website is provided “as is” and “as available,” with extensive warranty disclaimers.
• 2U disclaims responsibility for inaccuracies, interruptions, security issues, software defects, downloads, data loss, and website changes.
• Consequential, incidental, special, exemplary, and certain other damages are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.
• Users must indemnify 2U and related parties for claims arising from website use.
• Risk: These provisions substantially shift operational, data-loss, and third-party-claim risks to the user.

7. Dispute resolution

• Claims must be resolved individually, without class actions.
• Virginia law applies, with exclusive jurisdiction in Arlington County, Virginia.
• Risk: Users may be required to litigate individually in Virginia, increasing the cost and reducing procedural remedies.

AI Training/Data-Use Finding

No provision in the supplied diff expressly grants 2U or its affiliates the right to use user/customer data, content, prompts, submissions, or communications to train or improve AI models. No restriction on such training is added either. The incorporated Privacy Policy may contain relevant language and should be reviewed.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

Overall assessment

The diff appears severely corrupted or misaligned: large portions of the original Terms of Use are replaced by DMCA notice language, followed by a substantially different set of provisions. The resulting text may be internally inconsistent and should be reviewed as a complete document, not merely as a conventional amendment.

Major substantive changes

1. Website scope and contracting party

• The original terms governed access to the 2U.com Website, “as administered by 2U, LLC,” described as the parent company of edX.
• The revised text appears to remove or obscure the references to edX and replaces the introductory language with copyright-infringement notice requirements.
• This creates uncertainty about:
• Which entity is the contracting party;
• Which websites, services, or programs are covered; and
• Whether the terms apply to 2U, edX, affiliates, or third-party services.

2. DMCA/copyright procedures added

The revised text adds a detailed Digital Millennium Copyright Act procedure, including requirements for:

• A physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material;
• Contact information;
• Good-faith and penalty-of-perjury statements; and
• Submission to 2U’s designated Copyright Agent at privacy@2u.com and a specified Arlington, Virginia address.

This is primarily an expanded notice-and-takedown process. However, the diff contains duplicated and malformed wording, including “alleged infringements of alleged infringements,” which should be corrected.

3. Intellectual-property protections expanded

The revised terms:

• Add broader protection for trademarks, logos, and service marks;
• State that rights are reserved to 2U and its licensors, affiliates, principals, or partners;
• Expressly prohibit misuse; and
• State that 2U will aggressively enforce its rights to the fullest extent of the law.

These provisions increase the customer’s risk of enforcement for unauthorized use of Website materials or branding.

4. New eligibility requirement

Users must now represent that they:

• Are at least 18 years old; and
• Are legally capable of agreeing to the Terms.

This may exclude minors who previously could access the Website and creates potential compliance issues if age verification is not implemented.

5. Expanded user restrictions

New or more explicit restrictions prohibit users from:

• Using the Website unlawfully or in any manner 2U considers inappropriate, in 2U’s sole discretion;
• Using automated scripts or scraping tools;
• Impersonating others or misrepresenting age, qualifications, or affiliations; and
• Publishing third-party private information, including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit-card numbers.

The “sole discretion” standard is broad and gives 2U substantial enforcement flexibility.

6. Communications

The prior language allowed electronic communications and communications concerning university programs. The revised text appears to replace this with intellectual-property ownership and restrictions. This may remove or obscure consent language relating to marketing or electronic communications.

AI-model training and customer data

No express change concerning AI, artificial intelligence, machine learning, model training, or use of customer data to train AI models appears in the provided diff.

The revised text does prohibit publication of third-party private information, but that is not an AI-training provision and does not address:

• Whether user/customer data may be used to train models;
• Whether prompts, uploads, course activity, or personal information may be retained;
• Whether data may be shared with AI vendors; or
• Whether users can opt out or request deletion.

Key review risks

• Apparent document corruption and incorrect clause substitution;
• Unclear contracting parties and covered services;
• Broad unilateral discretion and enforcement rights;
• New 18+ eligibility restriction; and
• No clear AI-data-use terms despite the requested subject matter.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

1. Scope and contracting parties

• The document is substantially rewritten from a copyright-infringement notice/DMCA template into Terms of Use for the 2U.com Website.
• The revised terms identify 2U, LLC as the website administrator and describe 2U as edX’s parent company.
• Use of or access to the Website constitutes acceptance of the Terms, the Privacy Policy, supplemental terms, legal notices, and other communications, all incorporated by reference.
• Risk: Incorporation of external policies and future communications may impose additional obligations without reproducing them in the Terms.

2. Unilateral modification rights

• 2U expressly reserves the right to modify or change the Terms without notice.
• Continued use is subject to the version posted on the Website at the time of use.
• Risk: Users may be bound by materially changed terms without individualized notice or an express re-acceptance mechanism. Enforceability may vary by jurisdiction.

3. Privacy and communications

• A new section states that the Privacy Policy explains how 2U may collect and use information from and about users when they visit the Website.
• By providing an email address, phone number, or other contact point, users agree that 2U may communicate with them electronically or by phone regarding university programs offered through 2U.
• Electronic communications, including notices and disclosures, may satisfy legal writing requirements.
• Risk: The communications consent is broad and may permit marketing or program-related outreach. The Terms do not specify message frequency, opt-out procedures, or whether consent is required for service access.

4. Intellectual property and Website materials

• The revised terms replace a narrow trademark statement with a broad definition of “Materials,” covering text, designs, logos, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, documentation, technology, sound files, and their arrangement.
• Users may view, access, download, or print Materials only for personal, educational, and non-commercial use.
• Reproduction, public display, distribution, alteration, or commercial use is prohibited unless expressly authorized.
• Risk: The restrictions are broader and may limit educational, research, sharing, or commercial uses that users might otherwise consider permissible.

5. DMCA procedure

• The document adds a detailed DMCA notice procedure, including required signature, identification, contact information, good-faith statement, and perjury statement.
• The designated Copyright Agent is listed as privacy@2u.com, with a Virginia mailing address.
• Risk: Using a privacy email address for copyright notices may create administrative confusion or delay.

6. Eligibility and conduct rules

• Users represent that they are at least 18 years old and legally capable of agreeing to the Terms.
• New conduct restrictions prohibit unlawful or inappropriate use, automated data collection or interaction, impersonation, misrepresentation, and publication of third-party private information.
• 2U may determine “inappropriate” conduct in its sole discretion.

7. Liability and dispute provisions

• New or consolidated provisions add broad “as-is” disclaimers, exclusion of consequential and data-loss damages, indemnification obligations, Virginia governing law, exclusive Arlington County venue, and a class-action waiver.
• Risks: These materially reduce user remedies, shift third-party claim costs to users, and may be restricted or unenforceable under applicable consumer-protection law.

8. AI-model training

• No provision in the supplied diff expressly authorizes, prohibits, or otherwise addresses using customer/user data, content, or interactions to train artificial-intelligence models.
• The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and may contain such terms; it should be reviewed separately.

Summary of Important Changes

Major Structural Issue

The diff appears materially corrupted or misaligned. Large portions of the original Terms of Use are replaced with unrelated DMCA copyright-notice language, and the same replacement text is repeated many times. Before adoption, the final document should be reconstructed and reviewed as a complete agreement.

Key Legal Changes and Risks

1. Scope and Acceptance of Terms

• The original introduction governing use of the 2U Website, including reference to edX, is replaced with language from a DMCA notice procedure.
• The original statement that Website use constitutes agreement to the Terms, Privacy Policy, supplemental terms, and other notices appears to be deleted or displaced.
• The original “stop using the Website if you do not agree” language is also removed or obscured.
• This creates uncertainty regarding:
• Which services and websites are covered;
• How users accept the Terms;
• Whether the Privacy Policy and supplemental terms remain incorporated; and
• Whether the agreement is enforceable as presented.

2. DMCA/Copyright Procedure Added

New language adds a detailed copyright-infringement notification process, including requirements for:

• A physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material;
• Contact information;
• A good-faith statement;
• A statement under penalty of perjury; and
• Submission to 2U’s designated Copyright Agent.

Risk: The provision contains apparent drafting errors, including repeated phrases (“alleged infringements of alleged infringements”), a malformed address reference, and an apparently incorrect or incomplete contact provision. These errors could make the process confusing or legally ineffective.

3. Intellectual Property Provisions

The revised text adds or expands provisions stating that:

• 2U trademarks and other intellectual property are legally protected;
• Rights are reserved to 2U, licensors, affiliates, principals, or partners;
• No license is granted by implication or otherwise; and
• Misuse will be aggressively enforced to the fullest extent of the law.

Risk: The language is more forceful and may broaden enforcement rights, although it does not clearly specify permitted uses or remedies.

4. Eligibility and User Conduct

New provisions require users to represent that they:

• Are at least 18 years old; and
• Are capable of agreeing to the Terms.

New conduct restrictions prohibit:

• Unlawful or “inappropriate” use, determined in 2U’s sole discretion;
• Automated scripts or data collection;
• Impersonation or misrepresentation; and
• Publishing third-party private information, including contact, Social Security, and credit-card information.

Risk: “Inappropriate” use is subjective and grants 2U broad discretion. The age requirement may exclude otherwise permitted users and could affect minors’ access.

AI Training and Customer Data

No express provision regarding AI models, artificial-intelligence training, machine learning, or use of customer data to train models appears in the supplied diff.

The changes do not grant or remove an express right to use user content, personal information, Website activity, or customer data for AI training. However, because the Privacy Policy and data-use provisions appear deleted or displaced, the diff creates uncertainty about what data-use terms continue to apply. The complete revised Terms and Privacy Policy should be reviewed for any separate AI-training language.

Key Changes and Legal Risks

1. Scope and Contracting Party

• The terms are rewritten from a narrow “Terms of Use” concept into terms governing access to the 2U.com Website, including its content, information, and functionality.
• 2U, LLC is identified as the administrator, with edX described as its parent company.
• Use or access of the Website constitutes acceptance of the Terms, including the Privacy Policy, supplemental terms, legal notices, and other communications, which are incorporated by reference.

Risk: Customers may become bound by documents or future notices that are not displayed in the Terms themselves. The reference to edX as parent company should be verified for corporate accuracy.

2. Unilateral Changes Without Notice

• 2U expressly reserves the right to modify or change the Terms without notice.
• Continued Website use is subject to the version posted at the time of use.

Risk: Users may be bound by materially different terms without affirmative notice or renewed consent. This may be problematic where applicable law requires notice for significant changes.

3. Privacy and Data Use

• The revised language states that the Privacy Policy explains how 2U may collect and use information from and about users when they visit the Website.
• The Terms do not themselves provide detailed limits on data collection, retention, sharing, or processing.

AI-model training

• The diff contains no express provision authorizing or prohibiting the use of customer or user data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.
• It also does not define “Customer Data,” “User Content,” prompts, outputs, telemetry, or de-identified data in an AI context.
• Because the Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and the Terms broadly address how information may be collected and used, any AI-training rights—if they exist—would likely need to be located in the Privacy Policy or another incorporated document, not in this text.

Risk: The absence of a clear AI-data limitation creates uncertainty. Users may not know whether Website activity, submissions, communications, or other personal information can be used for model development. The Privacy Policy should be reviewed separately for AI-related language, consent mechanisms, opt-outs, and data-sale or sharing provisions.

4. Electronic Communications

• Providing an email address, telephone number, or other contact information constitutes agreement to receive communications electronically or by phone regarding university programs offered through 2U.
• Electronic communications are deemed to satisfy legal writing requirements.

Risk: This creates broad consent for marketing or program-related communications. The clause does not clearly distinguish transactional messages from promotional communications or explain how to opt out.

5. Intellectual Property and Website Use

• The revised terms expand protected materials to include text, designs, logos, graphics, data, software, documentation, technology, sound files, and their arrangement.
• Users receive only a limited right to view, access, download, or print materials for personal, educational, and non-commercial use.
• Reproduction, public display, distribution, modification, commercial use, or other unauthorized use is prohibited.

Risk: The restrictions are broader and more prescriptive, potentially limiting educational, archival, or technological uses such as scraping and automated analysis.

6. Conduct, Liability, and Disputes

• New or consolidated restrictions prohibit automated scripts, impersonation, unlawful or harmful use, and publication of third-party private information.
• Broad warranty disclaimers, liability exclusions, and indemnification obligations are included.
• Claims must generally be brought individually in Arlington County, Virginia, under Virginia law.

Risk: Users face significant limits on remedies and a potentially burdensome forum-selection and class-action waiver.

Summary of Important Changes

> Important qualification: The diff appears severely corrupted or misaligned. Large portions of the original Terms are replaced by unrelated DMCA language, and some resulting sentences are grammatically incomplete. The changes should be reviewed against a clean version before adoption.

1. Major restructuring and scope changes

• The opening provisions governing use of the 2U Website appear to be deleted and replaced with extensive Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice language.
• References to edX and 2U’s role as parent company appear to be removed or displaced.
• The Terms’ incorporation of the Privacy Policy, supplemental terms, legal notices, and other communications is partially deleted or obscured. This may create uncertainty about which policies are contractually incorporated.

2. New copyright and intellectual-property provisions

The revised text adds or restores:

• Detailed requirements for submitting copyright-infringement notices, including:
• Signature;
• Identification of the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material;
• Contact information;
• Good-faith and penalty-of-perjury statements.
• A designated Copyright Agent and contact information.
• Stronger language reserving 2U’s intellectual-property rights and stating that misuse will be aggressively enforced.
• A prohibition on using Website materials for unauthorized public or commercial purposes.

Risk: The inserted DMCA language appears duplicated and contains wording such as “alleged infringements of alleged infringements,” suggesting drafting or implementation errors that could undermine clarity.

3. New eligibility and user-conduct obligations

The revised Terms add that users:

• Must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of agreeing to the Terms.
• May not use the Website unlawfully or in a manner deemed inappropriate by 2U in its sole discretion.
• May not use automated scripts to collect information or interact with the Website.
• May not impersonate others or misrepresent age, qualifications, or affiliations.
• May not publish third-party private information, including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit-card numbers.

Risks:

• The “inappropriate” conduct standard is broad and subjective.
• The 18+ requirement may exclude minors and create compliance issues if the service is intended for younger users.
• The private-information prohibition places responsibility on users but does not itself explain 2U’s data-security obligations.

4. Communications and data-related provisions

• The prior language appears to permit communications by email, phone, or other contact information provided through the Website.
• That language is displaced by intellectual-property text in the diff, so the resulting communication-consent provision is unclear.
• The revised text does not clearly state whether users consent to marketing, automated communications, or sharing contact information with third parties.

5. AI training and model use

No express provision addressing AI appears in the diff.

Specifically, the revised language does not state that customer or user data may be:

• Used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate AI models;
• Shared with AI providers for training;
• De-identified or aggregated for model development;
• Retained for AI-related purposes; or
• Excluded from AI training.

Any AI-data rights would therefore need to be located in the Privacy Policy, a separate agreement, or another incorporated policy. Because the Privacy Policy language is partially deleted or obscured, this should be specifically verified.

Key Changes and Risks

1. Major restructuring and correction of the Terms

The revised text replaces what appears to be a corrupted or incorrectly inserted copyright-infringement notice with a complete set of website terms. The Terms now clearly apply to access to and use of the 2U.com Website, administered by 2U, LLC, identified as edX’s parent company.

Risk: The revised terms may broaden the contractual relationship from a narrow copyright-related notice to all use of the Website and its content, functionality, and communications.

2. Incorporation of additional terms and policies

The revised introduction states that the Terms include, by reference:

• 2U’s Privacy Policy;
• Supplemental terms;
• Legal notices; and
• Other communications provided to users.

Risk: Users may be bound by documents or communications outside the main Terms, potentially including terms that can change separately. The Privacy Policy becomes an express part of the agreement and should be reviewed for data-sharing, retention, and AI-related provisions.

3. Unilateral changes without notice

2U expressly reserves the right to modify or change the Terms without notice. Continued use of the Website is subject to the version posted when the user accesses it.

Risk: Users may be deemed to accept materially different terms simply by continuing to use the Website. There is no stated obligation to provide advance notice or obtain renewed consent.

4. Broader electronic communications consent

By providing an email address, phone number, or other contact information, users agree that 2U may communicate electronically or by phone regarding university programs offered through 2U. Users also agree that electronic communications satisfy legal writing requirements.

Risks:

• Consent is broad and may cover multiple contact methods supplied through the Website.
• The provision does not clearly distinguish service messages from marketing communications.
• It does not state how users can withdraw consent or opt out, which may create compliance concerns under telemarketing and electronic-communications laws.

5. Expanded ownership and restrictions on Website materials

The revised terms define “Materials” broadly to include text, designs, logos, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, documentation, technology, sound files, and other files. Users receive only a limited right to view, access, download, or print materials for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes.

They may not modify, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, commercially use, or otherwise use the Materials except as expressly authorized.

Risk: The restrictions are substantially more detailed and may limit activities such as educational redistribution, automated copying, or commercial analysis.

6. User conduct and data-related restrictions

New or clarified prohibitions include:

• Automated scripts or other automated interaction with the Website;
• Impersonation or misrepresentation; and
• Publishing or transmitting third-party private information, including Social Security and credit-card numbers.

These provisions are backed by broad indemnification obligations.

7. AI-model training and customer data

No express change regarding AI training was identified in the provided diff. The revised text does not state that 2U may use customer, user, submitted, or Website data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models. It also does not grant an express license for such use.

However, the Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference, and the Terms refer broadly to collection and use of information. Any AI-training rights may therefore appear in the Privacy Policy or another supplemental document rather than these Terms.

Recommended review: Check the incorporated Privacy Policy and supplemental terms for language concerning artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, model improvement, de-identification, user content, or sharing with service providers.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Major structural/content replacement

The diff appears substantially corrupted or misaligned: much of the original introductory Terms of Use language has been replaced by text from a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice procedure. For example, language defining the Website and stating that users agree to the Terms is replaced by requirements such as:

• A copyright owner’s physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of copyrighted and allegedly infringing works;
• Contact information;
• Good-faith and penalty-of-perjury statements; and
• Submission instructions for 2U’s Copyright Agent.

Risk: If this reflects the actual proposed contract rather than a diff-formatting error, the Terms may be internally incoherent and fail to clearly establish the contract’s scope, Website definition, incorporation of policies, and user assent. The DMCA provisions should be separated into their own section and the introductory provisions restored or verified.

2. Copyright and intellectual-property provisions

The revised text adds or emphasizes:

• 2U’s ownership or licensing of Website intellectual property;
• Protection of trademarks, logos, and service marks;
• No implied license to use 2U or third-party intellectual property;
• Strict prohibition on misuse; and
• 2U’s intention to enforce its rights “to the fullest extent of the law.”

It also limits use of Website materials to personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes and prohibits alteration, reproduction, public display, distribution, or commercial use.

Risk: These restrictions may limit copying, redistribution, text/data mining, automated analysis, or other uses that might otherwise be permitted. The language is broad and does not clearly distinguish ordinary Website content from user- or customer-submitted content.

3. User restrictions and privacy-related obligations

New or clarified prohibited conduct includes:

• Using the Website unlawfully or inappropriately, as determined by 2U in its sole discretion;
• Using automated scripts to collect information or interact with the Website;
• Impersonation or misrepresentation of age, qualifications, or affiliation; and
• Publishing third-party private information, including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit-card numbers.

Risk: “Inappropriate” conduct is subjective and gives 2U broad enforcement discretion. The automation prohibition could restrict legitimate scraping, accessibility tools, research, or technical integrations unless expressly authorized.

4. Eligibility and electronic communications

The revision adds an express representation that users are:

• At least 18 years old; and
• Capable of agreeing to the Terms.

It also permits 2U to communicate electronically or by phone using contact information provided through the Website.

Risk: The age requirement may exclude minors who could otherwise use educational services. The communications provision may authorize marketing or other outreach; its relationship to consent and opt-out requirements is not specified.

5. AI training and use of customer data

No express change concerning AI models or training was identifiable in the supplied diff. The revised language does not state that customer data, user content, prompts, submissions, Website activity, or personal information may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.

However, because the Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and the diff is materially misaligned, the Privacy Policy should be reviewed separately for any AI-related data-use authorization.

The publisher records this document as revised on this date (“Effective Date: November 6, 2025”).

Summary

The diff indicates that approximately 1,458 words were removed, but it does not identify which provisions were deleted or provide replacement language.

AI-Training and Data-Use Changes

• Cannot determine from the supplied diff whether the agreement’s treatment of customer data or AI-model training has changed.
• The deleted text may have included provisions addressing:
• Whether customer data, prompts, content, or outputs may be used to train or improve AI models;
• Whether data is anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified before use;
• Whether the provider may use data for product development, analytics, or service improvement;
• Opt-out, consent, or customer-control rights;
• Retention, deletion, or isolation of customer data;
• Human review or access to customer data;
• Ownership and licensing of customer inputs and outputs; and
• Confidentiality, security, or limits on disclosure to model providers and subprocessors.

Potential Legal Risks

Because the actual deleted language is unavailable, the principal risk is loss of protections through deletion. In particular:

1. Expanded permitted use: Deleted restrictions could leave broader contractual authority to use customer data for analytics, service improvement, or AI training.

2. Reduced confidentiality: Provisions limiting provider access, personnel review, or disclosure to third parties may have been removed.

3. Loss of opt-out rights: Customer consent, objection, or opt-out mechanisms may no longer apply.

4. Unclear ownership and licensing: Deleted language may have addressed rights in customer data, prompts, outputs, or derivative model improvements.

5. Retention and deletion uncertainty: Data-handling periods and deletion obligations may be less specific.

6. Reduced accountability: Deleted audit, security, indemnity, or breach-notification provisions could increase the customer’s exposure.

Recommended Review

The complete prior and revised versions should be compared, or at least the text of the 1,458 deleted words should be provided. Particular attention should be given to sections titled Data Use, Privacy, Confidentiality, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Service Improvement, Content, Security, Retention, and Subprocessors.

On the current information, it is not possible to conclude whether AI-training rights were added, removed, narrowed, or expanded.
