Codeium/Windsurf terms replaced by Cognition AI's business-style Platform Terms of Service

AI training: reworded✓ Machine-checked

The old Individual & Pro terms from Exafunction (with arbitration, class-action waiver, California law, and AI training opt-out sections) are replaced in the shown portion by new Cognition AI Platform Terms. The new text defines Customer Data, Output, Usage Data and Zero Data Retention, and says prior terms apply for 30 days. The diff is truncated, so the new terms' treatment of arbitration, training and liability is not visible.

Taken from you

  • Old individual-user terms replaced by terms framed around customers and Authorized Users, naming Cognition AI, Inc. as provider (or Exafunction, Inc. where a license has not been assigned)
  • Usage Data now defined as anonymized and aggregated data; the broader old Usage Data ownership and use language is gone from the shown text

Won back

  • New defined term Customer Data covers Outputs generated by the Services as well as what you submit
