What it is

The agreement prohibits users from creating content, products, or services using any part of the End User Services and from using or reproducing any part of the services, including trademarks, except as expressly permitted by law.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that no license is granted to use the End User Services as a basis for derivative works, competing products, or services, and that trademark use is restricted to what applicable law expressly permits, which in most jurisdictions would be limited to nominative fair use.

Interpretive note: The scope of 'any part of the End User Services' is not defined, and the extent of permitted exceptions under the 'as law expressly allows' carve-out will vary by jurisdiction and applicable copyright and trademark law.
