"You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Services in any medium; using any automated system to access the Services; transmitting spam or other unsolicited communications; attempting to interfere with the integrity or performance of the Services; attempting to access any portion of the Services you are not authorized to access.— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Terms of Service
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Prohibitions on unauthorized access and automated system use engage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the United States, which provides both civil and criminal liability for unauthorized computer access. The prohibition on spam may also engage the CAN-SPAM Act. For EU users, the Network and Information Security Directive may also be relevant. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The acceptable use policy is standard for online platforms and primarily creates exposure for users who violate its terms through account suspension or termination. The broad drafting of some prohibitions (e.g., 'any automated system') may affect legitimate use cases such as accessibility tools or enterprise integrations. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The CFAA has broad reach but has been subject to judicial limitation regarding overbroad interpretation of 'unauthorized access.' EU users should note that automated access restrictions may interact with data portability rights under GDPR. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers deploying API integrations or automated learning management system connections should verify that such use is explicitly permitted under Skillshare's terms or a separate commercial agreement, as the broad prohibition on automated access could apply to integration tools. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Institutional users should review whether their use of Skillshare for LMS integration, bulk enrollment, or automated reporting is consistent with the acceptable use policy, and seek explicit written authorization if any automated access is involved.
