These Terms are an agreement between you and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If you do not understand or do not agree to be bound by these Terms, please immediately exit the Site.

If you would like to save the projects you create with AI Blocks, you can download the projects onto your computer or store them in a third party personal storage website such as Github, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Your use of these third party personal storage websites is subject to the Terms of Service for those accounts. In particular, for saving to Google Drive, you can connect your Google account to the website. Your use of that account is subject to Google’s Terms of Service for accounts, and the information you provide to Google is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. MIT has no access to your Google account or the information you provide for it. In the future, the MIT Personal Robots Group may provide alternative means for using MIT AI Blocks without third-party personal storage websites, at which point we will update these terms of use to reflect those alternatives.
