Nod Terms of Use

See llms.txt for all machine-readable content.
This Nod Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”) supplements the Master Enterprise Terms or Self-Serve Terms, as applicable (the “MET”) and the n8n AI Terms (the “AI Terms”) between n8n and Customer. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the MET or AI Terms. In the event of a conflict, these Terms of Use control solely with respect to Customer’s use of Nod.
“Nod” is an AI-enabled application that Customer may install and operate on Customer-controlled devices or servers, regardless of deployment type. Nod may access and interact with third-party applications, websites and services connected or selected by Customer or its Authorized Users (“Third-Party Services”) and may use AI model providers selected by Customer. Certain Nod functionality may use services operated by or on behalf of n8n, including the Cloud Services or Software, including a connection service through which, by default, requests to and results from connected Third-Party Services pass.
“Connection Service” means a service operated by or on behalf of n8n that enables Nod to establish and manage authenticated connections with Third-Party Services and to transmit requests to, and receive results from, those Third-Party Services. The Connection Service does not include functionality processed solely within Customer’s environment or services separately selected or configured by Customer. The Connection Service does not refer to the n8n Cloud Services or Software, which is independently licensed under the MET.
Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that its Authorized Users are authorized to connect any account, application, data source, credential or payment method to Nod and to instruct Nod to access or act through such Third-Party Services.
Nod may, at the direction of an Authorized User, create, modify, transmit or delete information or take other actions through the Third-Party Services. Nod uses an AI model to decide which actions require Customer approval, and that decision may not always be correct. Customer is solely responsible for instructions provided to Nod. n8n does not become a party to, or assume responsibility for, any transaction or agreement entered into through Nod or a Third-Party Service.
Where the Connection Service is used, requests to and results from connected Third-Party Services are processed through the Connection Service. Customer Content otherwise processed locally by Nod remains within the Customer-controlled environment unless transmitted to a Third-Party Service, AI provider or other recipient as directed or enabled by Customer. Where Customer uses the n8n Cloud Services, relevant requests, instructions and results may be processed by n8n and its applicable subprocessors in order to provide the requested connection.
To the extent n8n processes Personal Data on Customer’s behalf through the Connection Services, the data processing agreement (“DPA”), available at https://n8n.io/legal/data-processing-agreement/, applies, unless Customer has already agreed to a DPA with n8n.
Selected AI providers or Third-Party Services, and any other services contracted or selected directly by Customer are not n8n subprocessors solely because Nod interoperates with them. Customer is solely responsible for its relationship with and use of such services.
Nod, via permissions granted by an Authorized User, may use credentials, authentication tokens, browser sessions or other authentication mechanisms provided or authorized by Customer to access these Third-Party Services. n8n will not use such credentials except as necessary to provide the functionality requested by the Customer and its Authorized Users.
Customer acknowledges that permitting Nod to use a credential may allow Nod to exercise the permissions associated with that credential even where the underlying secret is not disclosed to an AI model, and n8n disclaims all responsibility for Nod’s use of such credentials.
By default, Nod shares usage data, which is composed of certain diagnostic or analytic data that may transmit information from Nod to n8n. An Authorized User can turn this off at any time in the Nod settings, after which Nod stops sending usage data. In these Terms of Use, “usage data” refers to the Events of Customer’s interactions with Nod. An “Event” means information about how an Authorized User or Nod interacts with the application, including actions taken in the app, setup activity, answers given during onboarding or in in-app surveys, task initiation or completion, device and configuration information, domains of websites visited, accessed or used for payments, payment amounts and currencies, and use of an AI model. If an Authorized User provides an email address in Nod, n8n links it to the usage data of that installation. For clarity, usage data does not include technical communications reasonably necessary to provide, secure or update Nod.
If Customer separately consents to the sharing of conversation traces with n8n, such traces may include de-identified or pseudonymised conversation elements, such as prompts, responses, tool inputs or outputs. Nod automatically removes known secrets and recognised personal identifiers, such as email addresses, phone numbers and payment card numbers. n8n recommends that no personal information be submitted in plain text. This information is collected for operating, diagnosing, securing and improving Nod, and n8n will not use these traces to train generative AI models. They will be retained for no longer than fourteen (14) days unless a longer period is required by law or agreed to with the Customer.
Where n8n determines the purposes and means of processing analytics, diagnostic or update information, voluntarily submitted feedback, usage data or traces enabled by Customer, n8n processes such data as an independent controller in accordance with its Privacy Policy available at https://n8n.io/legal/privacy/.
