Databricks Terms of Service

This is Databricks' legal rulebook for using their public websites, including databricks.com and related sites. The most important thing to know is that by simply visiting or using the site, you agree to these terms, including a broad indemnification clause that could make you personally responsible for legal costs if your use of the site causes Databricks harm. You should avoid using any automated tools, scrapers, or bots on Databricks websites, as this is explicitly prohibited and could result in immediate access termination.

This document is Databricks' Website Terms of Use, governing access to and use of all Databricks-branded publicly available websites including databricks.com, spark-summit.org, and spark-packages.org, established on a browsewrap/clickwrap basis under California law. The most significant obligations include prohibitions on scraping, reverse engineering, unauthorized data collection, and use of automated tools against the Sites, with Databricks reserving the right to terminate access at its sole discretion without notice. Notably, the Terms include a broad intellectual property assignment provision, a unilateral right to modify the Terms without prior notice (with continued use constituting acceptance), and a disclaimer of all warranties combined with a limitation of liability that caps Databricks' exposure to damages arising from site use. The document engages GDPR and CCPA privacy frameworks through its incorporated Privacy Notice, and implicates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) through its anti-scraping and IP protection provisions. Compliance teams should note the California governing law and venue clause, the broad indemnification obligation placed on users, and the lack of a mandatory arbitration clause which is atypical for a major technology platform of this scale.
