ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Terms incorporated by reference carry the same legal force as terms stated directly in the agreement, meaning material obligations and rights exist in a separate document hosted by Salesforce.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The reader is bound by the Main Services Agreement even though its full content is located at a separate Salesforce-hosted link.
