Cal.com
Cal.com has relatively user-friendly terms with some concerning areas. They claim broad rights to use and distribute your content, can terminate accounts at their sole discretion, and disclaim most liability. However, they do allow you to retain ownership of your content and don't mention using data for AI training.
The actual terms haven't changed in any meaningful way. The main difference is that email addresses now show as hidden/obfuscated text instead of plain addresses, so you may need to visit the site directly to find contact info. Some repeated navigation junk was also cleaned up from the document.
