What it is

The card establishes that use of Llama 4 in violation of applicable laws, the Acceptable Use Policy, or the Llama 4 Community License constitutes an out-of-scope use, with the full terms of permitted use governed by the separately published Community License Agreement.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the contractual framework within which commercial and research use of Llama 4 is permitted, and incorporates by reference both the Acceptable Use Policy and the Llama 4 Community License Agreement as binding constraints. Organizations should review those documents independently, as the model card does not reproduce their full terms.

Interpretive note: The full terms of the Acceptable Use Policy and Llama 4 Community License Agreement are not reproduced in this model card; the complete scope of obligations and restrictions requires review of those separate documents.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement establishes that all use of Llama 4 is governed by the Llama 4 Community License Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy, both of which are separate documents not reproduced in this model card. Deploying organizations and end users are subject to those terms in addition to the provisions described in the model card.

Out-of-scope: Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws).

Use in languages or capabilities beyond those explicitly referenced as supported in this model card.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The incorporation of trade compliance law as an explicit out-of-scope use engages US export control regulations, including Export Administration Regulations, which may restrict the distribution or use of Llama 4 model weights in certain jurisdictions or to certain end users. The FTC and State AGs retain authority over unfair or deceptive commercial practices related to license terms. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The model card's incorporation by reference of external policy documents means that the full scope of permitted and prohibited uses cannot be assessed from this document alone. Organizations relying solely on the model card for compliance purposes may have an incomplete picture of their obligations. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Trade compliance restrictions may create heightened exposure for organizations operating in or distributing to sanctioned jurisdictions. EU organizations should assess whether the Llama 4 Community License terms are compatible with applicable consumer protection and data protection law in their jurisdiction. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should obtain and review the current version of the Llama 4 Community License Agreement before deployment. License terms, including any revenue thresholds, user count limits, or sublicensing restrictions, are material to commercial deployment decisions and should be assessed independently. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should establish a process for monitoring updates to the Acceptable Use Policy and Community License Agreement, as changes to those documents could affect the permissibility of existing deployments. Export compliance teams should screen intended deployment geographies and end users against applicable trade control lists.
