The license is revocable and conditioned on ongoing compliance; violations of the terms automatically terminate the license, and the restrictions on reverse engineering and competitive product development are legally operative provisions that may affect developers and researchers.
Interpretive note: The scope of 'internal purposes' and the enforceability of the competitive use prohibition may require interpretation depending on the specific activities involved and jurisdiction.

You may not permit the Site to be used by or for the benefit of unauthorized third parties. Nothing in these Terms will be construed to grant you any right to transfer or assign rights to access or use the Site. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Scale and its licensors. You may not (i) modify or make derivative works based upon the Sites; (ii) reverse engineer the Site or access the Sites in order to (a) build a competitive product or service, or (b) build a product using similar features, functions, or graphics of the Sites, or (c) copy any features, functions, or graphics of the Sites.— Excerpt from Scale AI's Scale AI Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: License restriction clauses are governed primarily by contract law and, where software access is involved, may engage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the US context. The prohibition on reverse engineering may interact with copyright fair use doctrine and the DMCA; enforceability of reverse engineering restrictions varies by jurisdiction, particularly in the EU where software interoperability exceptions may apply under the Software Directive. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard users; Medium for organizations that conduct competitive intelligence, security research, or technical analysis of third-party web platforms. The prohibition on accessing the site to build competitive products is broadly drafted and may cover activities that some organizations consider standard technical research. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU member state law (Software Directive exceptions for interoperability) may limit the enforceability of the reverse engineering prohibition in certain research or interoperability contexts. US law under the DMCA and CFAA is more variable depending on the purpose and method of access. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Technology companies that access scale.com as part of competitive landscape research or technical due diligence should assess whether such access falls within the permitted internal purposes or could be construed as prohibited competitive product development activity. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with automated monitoring or web scraping tools that access scale.com should confirm that such activity is consistent with the internal purposes limitation and does not constitute unauthorized access under the CFAA in addition to breaching these terms.
