This analysis describes what Meta's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
By incorporating the Acceptable Use Policy by reference, the agreement makes Meta's usage standards enforceable contractual obligations without reproducing the full policy text in the license agreement itself. This mechanism allows Meta to modify the policy terms by updating the linked document, which users must then comply with prospectively.
Interpretive note: The scope of restrictions in the Acceptable Use Policy may change over time and the document does not specify a notification mechanism for licensees when updates occur.
Users must comply with both the license agreement and the referenced Acceptable Use Policy, which governs permitted uses of the Llama Materials. The operational obligations are defined in an external document that Meta maintains and may update, requiring users to review that policy to understand their usage constraints.
