This provision establishes the contractual boundaries for permitted platform use and identifies conduct that may result in termination or liability. The prohibition on building competitive products using the services is operationally relevant for organizations that may develop AI tooling adjacent to W&B's platform capabilities.
The updated agreement no longer includes language stating that a previously executed written agreement between Customer and W&B would govern and supersede the master service agreement. This removal eliminates explicit recognition of contractual hierarchy that may have applied to customers with signed agreements predating the master terms. The practical effect depends on whether such customers have separate agreements in place and how contract interpretation and applicable law would treat the relationship between a posted master agreement and a signed customer agreement absent explicit supersession language.
View change record →The updated Terms of Service no longer include the previous statement that services would become inaccessible from certain locations starting September 1st, 2025. This removal means the geographic restriction that was previously announced in the agreement is no longer formally stated in the current terms. Users who were affected by or concerned about the prior restriction should review current documentation to confirm whether any geographic limitations remain in effect.
View change record →The removal of the explicit Acceptable Use Policy provisions eliminates detailed restrictions on customer conduct, potentially reducing clarity on prohibited uses and enforcement mechanisms.
View full change record →Replaces external AUP incorporation with inline prohibited use restrictions that are more specific about competitive use restrictions and reverse engineering prohibitions.
View full change record →Removal of external AUP incorporation means AUP can no longer be unilaterally modified by W&B, and W&B loses ability to suspend services for 'suspected' violations.
View full change record →Incorporates an external AUP into the terms by reference and gives W&B explicit suspension/termination rights for AUP violations, enabling W&B to enforce conduct standards through a separately updated document.
View full change record →Under this clause, customers agree to a set of use restrictions governing the W&B platform, including prohibitions on resale, competitive product development using the services, submission of unlawful or privacy-violating content, and unauthorized access attempts. Violation of these restrictions may constitute a material breach of the agreement.
