"You may use the Sites only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Sites: In any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or foreign law or regulation; For the purpose of exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way; To transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material, including any 'junk mail,' 'chain letter,' 'spam,' or any other similar solicitation; To impersonate or attempt to impersonate Databricks, a Databricks employee, another user, or any other person or entity.— Excerpt from Databricks's Databricks Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The prohibited use clause mirrors standard terms required for compliance with US law, including CAN-SPAM for spam prohibitions, COPPA for minors protection, and general federal and state law compliance requirements. The FTC enforces CAN-SPAM and has authority over unfair or deceptive practices related to impersonation. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This is a standard compliance clause consistent with industry norms and applicable law. The practical governance implication is that enterprise users should ensure internal acceptable use policies for third-party websites are consistent with these restrictions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: The clause references federal, state, local, and foreign law, which is appropriately broad for a globally accessible website. No jurisdiction-specific heightened exposure is created by this clause beyond compliance with applicable local law. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: No unusual vendor or procurement implications. Standard acceptable use restrictions that enterprise legal teams should confirm are mirrored in internal employee guidelines for third-party website use. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should confirm that any automated access, scraping, or bulk communications involving Databricks web properties are consistent with these prohibited use provisions and applicable law.
