Databricks AI Acceptable Use Policy

This policy sets out the rules for what you can and cannot do when using Databricks Services. You cannot use the platform to attack or disrupt services, build competing products, automate interactions outside approved integrations, or harm others' rights. If you use Databricks AI features, additional terms in Databricks's Documentation may also apply to you.

This Acceptable Use Policy establishes a comprehensive set of conduct prohibitions governing user interaction with Databricks Services, with particular emphasis on AI and automated use. Users are prohibited from any actions that cause denial-of-service outcomes, bypass usage limitations, interfere with or disrupt the Services, or use any automated means of interaction outside of a Databricks validated integration. The policy imposes broad restrictions on competitive and derivative use, prohibiting users from building substitute, replacement, or circumventing products or services—whether directly, through third parties they permit, or through use of AI outputs—except where the Agreement expressly authorizes such use. Users are additionally prohibited from causing harm to or violating the human rights of any person, engaging in fraudulent or deceptive activities, or scraping and persistently copying metadata including audit logs and credentials. A reciprocal benchmarking obligation applies to users who disclose Benchmark results.

As a user of Databricks Services, you are bound by a wide range of conduct restrictions: you cannot interfere with or disrupt the Services, scrape or bulk-export metadata such as audit logs or credentials, use automated tools unless authorized through a Databricks validated integration, or use AI outputs to create or improve AI systems unless the Agreement expressly permits it. You are also responsible for ensuring that any third parties you permit to use the Services comply with the same restrictions. If you use AI or machine learning features within Databricks Services, you should review the Documentation to identify any additional terms or use policies that apply to that use.
