This provision establishes specific prohibited conduct that, if engaged in, may trigger the platform's unilateral termination rights. Developer and enterprise users relying on API access or automated workflows should verify that their technical implementations comply with the acceptable use restrictions.
Interpretive note: The term 'commercial solicitation purposes' is not defined in the provision, creating ambiguity for users engaged in commercial creative services. The 'unreasonable load' threshold is assessed at Leonardo AI's sole discretion.
Under these terms, users who engage in prohibited activities including automated scraping, data harvesting, or bypassing access controls may have their accounts terminated. The prohibition on 'commercial solicitation purposes' may require clarification for users operating business accounts or using the platform for commercial creative services.

"You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Service in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated 'scraping'; (ii) using any automated system, including without limitation 'robots,' 'spiders,' 'offline readers,' etc., to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Leonardo AI servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser; (iii) transmitting spam, chain letters, or other unsolicited email; (iv) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (v) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (vi) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (vii) collecting or harvesting any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service; (viii) using the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes; (ix) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (x) interfering with the proper working of the Service; (xi) accessing any content on the Service through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Service; or (xii) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the content therein.— Excerpt from Leonardo AI's Leonardo AI Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The prohibition on collecting personally identifiable information from the service engages GDPR, CCPA, and the Australian Privacy Act. The provision addressing commercial solicitation purposes may interact with FTC guidance on commercial communications. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the US and analogous laws in other jurisdictions are relevant to provisions addressing unauthorized access and system interference. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The acceptable use list is broadly drafted and includes terms such as 'unreasonable or disproportionately large load on infrastructure' that are assessed at Leonardo AI's sole discretion, which creates operational uncertainty for enterprise users with high-volume generation workflows. The prohibition on commercial solicitation purposes is not further defined. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: The enforceability of terms prohibiting automated access may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in the EU where certain data access rights exist. The prohibition on collecting personally identifiable information applies globally but enforcement authority varies by jurisdiction. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Developers and enterprise customers using the Leonardo AI API should review their automated workflows against the acceptable use restrictions, particularly regarding request volume and data harvesting. API terms and acceptable use policies should be reviewed in conjunction with the ToS. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and technical teams should audit automated workflows and API integrations to confirm compliance with the acceptable use restrictions. The 'commercial solicitation purposes' prohibition should be clarified with Leonardo AI if the use case involves agency or reseller arrangements.
