Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Business customers must make their own employees and users follow Synthesia's rules, and must have written agreements with those users that are at least as strict as Synthesia's acceptable use policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Enterprise customers bear direct legal liability for any policy violations committed by their employees or sub-users on the Synthesia platform, requiring them to implement and enforce their own acceptable use controls and user agreements.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

If any user in your organisation misuses the platform — even without your knowledge — your organisation bears full contractual responsibility and risks account suspension or termination.

View original clause language
You are responsible for ensuring that all users accessing the Services through your account comply with these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. You shall procure that your users are bound by terms no less protective than those set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This flow-down obligation creates a supply chain compliance structure analogous to GDPR Article 28(4) (processor sub-processor obligations). It also engages employer liability principles under applicable employment law if employees misuse the platform. In the EU, the DSA creates direct obligations on business users regarding illegal content generated through their accounts.
