This provision defines the operational boundaries of permissible platform use for enterprise deployments and establishes the basis on which Perplexity may suspend or terminate access for non-compliant use by the enterprise customer or its end users.
Interpretive note: The exact text of the acceptable use provision was not available in the truncated document; this description is inferred from standard enterprise AI platform agreement structures and the document title.
Under this clause, the enterprise customer is responsible for ensuring all authorized users within their organization comply with the acceptable use terms; violations by any user within the account may affect the entire organization's access to the service.

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Acceptable use provisions may engage the FTC Act where restrictions relate to consumer protection or data practices, and may interact with sector-specific regulations such as HIPAA or financial services rules if the enterprise customer operates in a regulated industry and submits regulated data through the platform. Enforcement authority is primarily the FTC at the federal level, with state attorneys general holding concurrent jurisdiction in many states. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The enterprise customer's assumption of responsibility for end user compliance creates downstream liability exposure; if an employee submits prohibited content or uses the service in a manner that violates the terms, the contracting organization bears responsibility under the agreement. This is standard in enterprise B2B agreements but requires internal policy implementation. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Organizations subject to EU AI Act obligations should evaluate whether their use of Perplexity AI outputs in decision-making workflows triggers any high-risk AI system classification requirements. California-based enterprises should also consider CCPA implications if personal data is submitted through the platform. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm that internal acceptable use policies align with Perplexity's restrictions and that employee training or acknowledgment processes are in place. The provision may shift liability to the enterprise customer for violations originating from within the organization. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should map current and intended use cases against the acceptable use restrictions before deployment, particularly for use cases involving sensitive data categories, automated decision-making, or regulated industries. Policy updates and employee communication may be required.
