We’re introducing a newTerms of Serviceto formalize our relationship to usersand enable us to move forward with providing new features and services,specificallyOrganization Accounts.
PyPI has had some form of Terms of Usedocument for users since itbegan accepting uploads in 2005and has only been updated twice1 since.These terms have primarily served to protect PyPIand the Python Software Foundation (PSF) who operates it.
Over time we have introduced additional policies to protect our users and communitysuch as ourCode of Conduct
Privacy NoticeandAcceptable Use Policy.Our newTerms of Serviceformalizes our relationship to PyPI users,makes protections for the PSF and PyPI users more explicit,and establishes terms we need to provideOrganization Accountsto paidCorporate Organizations.
We have worked with our legal team to retain compatibility with the supersededTerms of Usewhile adding as permissive a set of new terms as possible to ensure that PyPI users and the PSF are protected.
You will notice a banner on login reminding you of these updated terms,as well as an email notification to your primary email address if it has been verified.These terms will take effect for existing users March 27, 2025 andyour continued use of PyPI after that date constitutes agreement to these new terms.
