Prohibited Conduct — Anti-Scraping and Automated Access

Privacy and Data Collection via Incorporated Privacy Notice

Provisions Modified
Unilateral Modification Without Notice

Limitation of Liability
Medium

Clause now includes 'TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW' qualifier, adds 'EXEMPLARY' and 'STRICT LIABILITY' categories, removes 'SERVICE PROVIDERS' and 'PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS' specifics, and changes structure to 'THAT YOU MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH.'

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
As-Is Warranty Disclaimer
Low

Removed second sentence with specific warranty denials (completeness, security, reliability, etc.) and replaced with explicit enumeration of implied warranties (MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT) instead; severity downgraded from medium to low.

Intellectual Property Ownership
Low

Text is identical but severity downgraded from medium to low.
