This analysis describes what Stability AI'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
This clause sets operational boundaries for acceptable use of the Service infrastructure and establishes security and anti-abuse parameters. The provision authorizes Stability AI to define what constitutes an unreasonable load on its infrastructure at its sole discretion, which affects enforcement consistency and clarity of the standard applied.
Interpretive note: The 'sole discretion' standard for determining unreasonable load creates interpretive ambiguity, and the prohibition on automated access may require reading alongside separate API-specific terms.
Users operating under this provision must comply with nine specific categories of restrictions on how they access and use the Service. Violation of any enumerated prohibited activity constitutes breach of the terms, with enforcement discretion retained by Stability AI, particularly regarding infrastructure load determinations.
