Replit dropped its no-training promise for Pro customers

TL;DR
What changed:
Replit replaced its Commercial Agreement with separate Pro and Enterprise agreements.
On Pro, Replit may now train its models on your code and prompts unless you opt out in settings, while Enterprise keeps the old no-training promise.
Pro disputes now go to individual arbitration, and Replit disclaims liability for direct damages.
Pro terms can change as soon as Replit posts them, while Enterprise still gets 10 days' email notice.
On both plans, backing up your data is now your job.
What to do: If your team builds on Replit Pro, turn off model training in settings, keep your own backups, and decide within 30 days whether to opt out of arbitration.
The change
Until this month, Replit's business customers signed one contract: the Replit Commercial Agreement. In early September 2026, Replit replaced it with two. The Pro Agreement now covers the Pro plan, which Replit describes as its team plan for up to 15 builders, and lists the Commercial Agreement as its prior version. The Enterprise Agreement, last updated September 9, covers the Enterprise tier.
The two agreements are not the same contract with different names. The Enterprise Agreement keeps most of the old protections. The Pro Agreement drops several of them, starting with the promise not to train AI models on customer content. Venpo flagged the rewrite on September 10, and the Enterprise redline is on the public change page.
What changed for Pro customers
AI training. The old agreement said: "Replit will not use Customer Content to develop or improve Replit's products or services, train machine learning models, or create derivative works." The Pro Agreement now says: "Replit may also use Customer Content to develop, train, and improve its models and AI Features." Customer Content includes your code, prompts, and AI outputs.
An opt-out, not a promise. Pro customers "can opt out of the use of Customer Content to develop, train, and improve models and AI Features through the settings page."
Arbitration. Disputes now go to individual arbitration, with no class actions, unless you opt out within 30 days of first becoming subject to the arbitration agreement. The old agreement sent disputes to courts in San Francisco.
Liability. The old agreement capped Replit's liability at what you paid in the previous 12 months. The Pro Agreement says Replit will not be liable for any direct or indirect damages, including loss of data.
Changes to the terms. The old agreement required 10 days' notice by email. Under the Pro Agreement, continued use after Replit posts an update means you accept it.
Account termination. Replit may suspend or terminate a Pro account "in its sole discretion," including for inactivity, and will not refund fees already paid.
What changed for everyone: backups are your job
Both new agreements add the same line. Customers are responsible for "routinely backing up and retaining copies of Customer data," and "Replit has no obligation to back up, archive, or recover Customer data." Replit also disclaims liability for loss, corruption, or recovery of data if you did not keep your own copies.
For teams that build internal tools or prototypes directly on Replit, the practical meaning is simple: if the only copy of a project lives on Replit, the contract now says protecting it is on you.
What the Enterprise Agreement kept, and what it lost
Enterprise customers keep the no-training promise word for word, the 12-month liability cap, courts instead of arbitration, and 10 days' email notice before changes. Replit's license to Enterprise content is also no longer described as irrevocable.
The Enterprise rewrite still removes some protections. The old promise that "Customer Content is private to Customer and its Users and not made available to the public" by default is gone, along with the rules on how public projects can be reused. The option to have AI features tuned on your content for your sole use is gone. And the agreement now says customers are "responsible for reviewing Output Content for fitness for Customer's intended use" and may not use Replit to build competing AI models.
Why this matters
Replit is where many product managers, designers, and engineers build internal tools, dashboards, and prototypes, often with real code and sometimes with real data. Many smaller teams are on Pro rather than Enterprise. For them, the protections they may have assumed were in their contract, no training on their code and a capped liability, now depend on a settings page and a plan tier.
We saw a similar shift when Lovable started training on prompts and code by default on its Free and Pro plans. Tracking which AI tools touch company code, and under which plan's terms, is part of monitoring AI subprocessors. Replit also added three subprocessors in September, for web data extraction for AI, customer support, and identity verification.
Potential impact
For a SaaS company that builds on Replit, the update raises four practical questions:
Is your team on Pro or Enterprise, and did anyone review the new agreement that now applies?
On Pro, has an admin turned off model training in settings?
Do you keep your own backups of projects built on Replit?
Do you want to opt out of arbitration, and is the 30-day window still open?
Plan-tier splits like this are easy to miss because the product looks the same, which is the hidden risk of vendor legal changes.
How Venpo detected it
Venpo monitors Replit's legal pages as part of continuous vendor risk monitoring. On September 10, it flagged that the agreement Replit's business customers relied on had been renamed and rewritten as the Enterprise Agreement, with the backup, privacy, and AI changes marked line by line. The redline is on the Replit change page, and every monitored Replit document is listed on the Replit vendor profile.
Business outcome
Teams that track Replit learned within a day that the agreement they relied on had been rewritten as an Enterprise-only contract. That leaves time to check which tier they are on, switch off model training on Pro, set up backups, and decide on the arbitration opt-out while the window is open. The alternative is finding out that the no-training promise only applies to a plan you never bought.
Key takeaway
Replit kept its promise not to train on customer content for Enterprise and replaced it with an opt-out for Pro, alongside arbitration, no liability, and changes by posting. When one contract becomes two, the only way to know which promises still apply to you is to track every version as it changes.
