ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Because the Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated by reference and can be updated separately, customers need to monitor it independently in addition to the main Customer Agreement, and any violations by employees can expose the purchasing organization to account suspension or termination.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement caps Atlassian's financial liability to customers at the total fees paid in the twelve months prior to the event giving rise to a claim, which limits the potential recovery available to customers regardless of the scale of harm. The agreement also requires most disputes to proceed through individual arbitration rather than court, and includes a class action waiver, which affects how customers can pursue grievances. You can review Atlassian's Data Processing Addendum and sub-processor list, both referenced in the agreement, to understand how your organization's data is handled by Atlassian and its third-party processors.
