ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes that downstream API access is not unrestricted but is conditioned on compliance with applicable terms of use.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify which terms of use are 'relevant' or where they can be found; 'relevant' is undefined, creating some ambiguity about the scope of the obligation.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Downstream providers accessing Google Gemini models via API are bound by relevant terms of use.
