The updated terms establish clearer scope (these terms apply to free, trial, and paid versions; Enterprise is separate) and expand the list of prohibited uses. Users may no longer reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to derive components of the Services; use the platform for competitive analysis or to develop competing products; or misrepresent AI-generated output as human-created. The terms also explicitly prohibit processing of HIPAA-regulated health information. Users can review the full updated terms to understand which specific uses are now restricted.
