The clause establishes operational boundaries for platform access by defining prohibited technical methods and third-party tools, thereby controlling how data and services can be accessed and the types of integrations permitted on the platform.
This restriction prevents developers from building data pipelines that archive or reuse Maps API outputs, which is a common architectural pattern, and non-compliance is an enforcement trigger.
The approval requirement creates a gating mechanism for API access, enabling Cohere to evaluate proposed applications against its content policies before granting service access. This procedural control allows the provider to assess alignment with stated usage restrictions at the point of account enablement.
Shopify
· Shopify Acceptable Use Policy
The clause establishes categorical restrictions on permitted merchant activities within the Shopify ecosystem. This reflects Shopify's operational policy to exclude categories of financial activity deemed high-risk, speculative, or potentially predatory under applicable regulatory frameworks.
This prohibition applies to all users and operators without exception and represents an absolute restriction with no operator override capability, meaning no business or personal use case authorizes this content.
This provision establishes an absolute use restriction applicable to all users and directly implicates COPPA, federal CSAM statutes, and international child protection frameworks. Violation would expose users to both platform termination and potential criminal liability independent of the AUP.
This prohibition reflects both a categorical ethical restriction and a legal obligation under federal and international law; violations may constitute criminal offenses under statutes governing child sexual abuse material regardless of whether the content is AI-generated.
This is an absolute prohibition aligned with US and international law; violations may expose users to criminal liability beyond account termination.
Generation of CSAM is a criminal offense in virtually all jurisdictions, and this prohibition establishes that any such use constitutes an immediate and absolute violation of the policy with no exceptions or contextual carve-outs.
Meta
· Meta Platform Policy
This restriction limits developers' ability to enrich or cross-reference Meta platform data with other datasets, which affects common analytics, personalization, and identity resolution practices used across the industry.
This clause establishes operational restrictions on permitted use cases by identifying categories of infrastructure and systems that are excluded from authorized service applications. The provision establishes boundaries for service deployment across sectors classified as critical to national or public safety infrastructure.
This provision establishes a binding operational boundary on permissible service use and defines a category of conduct that violates the usage agreement. It operates as a mandatory compliance requirement that applies across all users and use cases.
This is a categorical prohibition with no exceptions; any application or output that generates CSAM would constitute an immediate and severe breach of the Terms of Service and would independently constitute criminal conduct in virtually all jurisdictions.
This provision establishes a baseline operational boundary for the service by restricting use cases that could result in large-scale harm through deployed code. It functions as a use-case limitation that applies uniformly across the user base.
Meta
· Meta Platform Policy
This clause defines procedural requirements for data collection activities involving minors, establishing gatekeeping mechanisms through parental consent requirements and Meta's discretionary consent authority to regulate third-party data practices on the platform.
Meta
· Meta Platform Policy
This provision establishes operational constraints on Meta's data commercialization and surveillance capabilities, creating defined limits on data monetization pathways and surveillance applications. The restrictions shape Meta's permitted data processing activities and commercial uses of user information.
This provision directly addresses synthetic media and deepfake generation, which is an area of active legislative and regulatory development in the U.S. and EU, and establishes that such use constitutes a prohibited activity under the agreement.
Shopify
· Shopify Acceptable Use Policy
This clause defines conduct standards that merchants must meet when using Shopify's platform services. The provision operates as a binding operational requirement that Shopify enforces through account compliance monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.
This prohibition covers a category of AI-generated content that is increasingly the subject of specific legislation in multiple jurisdictions, and it establishes that creating non-consensual intimate imagery or politically deceptive deepfakes using Stability AI's tools violates the policy.
The clause defines prohibited content categories that establish boundaries for permitted service use and create operational standards for content moderation and enforcement within the platform.
This clause prohibits using DeepSeek-V3 or any of its generated outputs as a basis for training or developing external AI models. This restriction goes beyond standard open-source licensing and could affect AI research, fine-tuning pipelines, and commercial AI product development workflows that rely on this model as a foundational component.
Apple
· Apple App Store Review Guidelines
This requirement establishes a technical constraint on app functionality by restricting fingerprinting methodologies that could enable cross-app device tracking. The provision operates as a condition of app acceptance and distribution through Apple's platform.
Shopify
· Shopify Acceptable Use Policy
This provision establishes product category restrictions that define the scope of permissible commerce on the Shopify platform. The clause establishes clear boundaries for merchant activity by categorizing specific product types as prohibited, which shapes the operational parameters of the service.
The provision establishes a gating mechanism for API access by conditioning authorization on prior disclosure and approval of the use case. This allows the provider to evaluate proposed applications against the stated prohibited categories before granting service access.
OpenAI
· OpenAI Usage Policies
This provision sets operational boundaries on the types of synthetic content the service will produce, establishing that certain categories of generated material—defamatory portrayals and non-consensual intimate imagery—fall outside permissible uses of the platform's generative capabilities.
Non-consensual intimate image generation is criminalized or subject to civil liability in a growing number of jurisdictions, and this prohibition establishes that producing such content using Stability AI's tools constitutes a policy violation regardless of whether the output is photorealistic.
Amazon
· AWS Acceptable Use Policy
This clause establishes the baseline operational requirements for service use by defining categories of prohibited content and activity. Enforcement of these restrictions protects the platform infrastructure and ensures compliance with legal obligations across jurisdictions.
Amazon
· AWS Acceptable Use Policy
This provision establishes the operational boundaries for AWS service use by defining categories of content that violate the acceptable use policy. The clause creates enforceable restrictions that AWS may apply to monitor, restrict, or terminate service access based on content classification.
Amazon
· AWS Acceptable Use Policy
The provision establishes content restrictions that AWS enforces through service termination and potential legal referral mechanisms. This operates as a foundational compliance requirement that applies across all AWS service categories.
Amazon
· AWS Acceptable Use Policy
This clause defines the scope of prohibited uses for AWS Services and establishes the operational boundary for acceptable content hosted on the platform. It requires AWS to maintain controls against specific categories of content that expose the service provider to legal liability or regulatory violation.
