Very strange writing from semafor.com

>For instance, an agency could pay for a subscription or negotiate a pay-per-use contract with an AI provider, only to find out that it is prohibited from using the AI model in certain ways, limiting its value.

This is of course quite false. They of course know the restriction when they sign the contract.

Are you sure that every restriction that’s in the model is also spelled out in the contract? If they add new ones, do they update the contract?

The contracts will usually say “You agree to the restrictions in our TOS” with a link to that page which allows for them to update the TOS without new signatures.

All the US megacorps tend send me emails saying "We want to change TOS, here's the new TOS that's be valid from date X, and be informed that you have the right to refuse it" (in which case they'll probably terminate the service, but I'm quite sure that if it's a paid service with some subscription, they would have to refund the remaining portion) - so they can change the TOS, but not without at least some form of agreement, even if it's an implicit one 'by continuing to use the service'.
