What it is

The AUP incorporates Databricks' separately published AI guidelines by reference, making compliance with those guidelines a condition of permissible use of the Databricks Services.

This analysis describes what Databricks's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision creates a two-document compliance obligation in which the full scope of AI-related use restrictions is not contained within the AUP itself, and where updates to the AI guidelines document may alter compliance requirements without a formal AUP amendment.

Interpretive note: The content and update mechanism of the separately published AI guidelines document are not reproduced in the AUP, so the full scope of this obligation cannot be assessed from the AUP alone.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, users are bound by Databricks' AI guidelines as a condition of AUP compliance, requiring ongoing monitoring of that separate document for any updates that may affect permissible use.
