"You may not use ford.com in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the site or servers or networks connected to the site, or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the site.— Excerpt from Ford's Ford Terms and Conditions
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Prohibited conduct provisions of this type engage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the US, which criminalizes unauthorized access to computer systems. Depending on the nature of the prohibited conduct, state computer crime statutes may also apply. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Prohibited conduct clauses are standard in website terms and primarily serve as a contractual baseline for enforcement actions against bad actors. The exposure for ordinary users is minimal. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act applies federally in the US; equivalent statutes exist in the EU under the Directive on Attacks Against Information Systems and in the UK under the Computer Misuse Act. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party developers or partners who access ford.com programmatically — for data aggregation, testing, or integration purposes — should confirm that their activities comply with these restrictions, as automated access may be characterized as prohibited conduct. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams building integrations with ford.com should obtain explicit written authorization for any non-standard access patterns to avoid exposure under this provision and underlying computer access statutes.
