The clause creates a continuous billing obligation tied to subscription periods rather than one-time transactions. It specifies the authorization framework under which Unity charges recurring fees and establishes consequences for payment failure, including potential suspension or termination of service access.
The updated terms establish explicit restrictions on how developers and organizations can use Unity's platform in connection with artificial intelligence and automated systems. Specifically, the terms now require prior written authorization from Unity before training machine learning or AI models on Unity data or any data derived from it. Additionally, the terms restrict automated access to the platform through scrapers, bots, AI agents, large language models, and similar systems unless they operate through a framework designated or operated by Unity. Users remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these restrictions may result in account suspension. You can request prior authorization from Unity for AI training use cases, and you may review the full updated terms to understand which automated frameworks are Unity-approved.

The revised language removes this ambiguity but establishes that England-based users will proceed through arbitration in London under New York substantive law.
