In January 2024, Vultr amended its [[terms of service]] (TOS) to include a clause (12.1a) stating:<ref name=":0">https://blogs.vultr.com/a-note-about-vultrs-terms-of-service</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240305043015/https://www.vultr.com/legal/tos/</ref><blockquote>"You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium or distribution method now known or hereafter existing, known or developed, and otherwise use and commercialize the User Content in any way that Vultr deems appropriate, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or to any third parties, for purposes of providing the Services to you.”</blockquote>This clause originally did not affect existing users, but in March, Vultr asked users to accept its new terms, including that clause. This sparked outrage, including one [https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1bouuv7/warning_vultr_a_major_cloud_provider_is_now/ Reddit post] claiming Vultr has rights to use user data for the purposes of training artificial intelligence.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1bouuv7/warning_vultr_a_major_cloud_provider_is_now/</ref> | In January 2024, Vultr amended its [[terms of service]] (TOS) to include a clause (12.1a) stating:<ref name=":0">https://blogs.vultr.com/a-note-about-vultrs-terms-of-service</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240305043015/https://www.vultr.com/legal/tos/</ref><blockquote>"You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium or distribution method now known or hereafter existing, known or developed, and otherwise use and commercialize the User Content in any way that Vultr deems appropriate, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or to any third parties, for purposes of providing the Services to you.”</blockquote>This clause originally did not affect existing users, but in March, Vultr asked users to accept its new terms, including that clause.
