AWS
· AWS Customer Agreement
The AUP is incorporated by reference and can be updated independently by AWS, meaning the conditions under which accounts may be suspended for policy violations can change without a formal amendment to the main agreement. Customers are responsible for ensuring their end users and content comply with the current version of the AUP at all times.
Vercel
· Vercel Terms of Service
The AUP is incorporated by reference into the main Terms, meaning violations of separately published AUP provisions can trigger the same account suspension consequences as violations of the core Terms, even if users are unaware of updates to the AUP.
Fastly
· Fastly Terms of Service
Because the AUP can be updated without requiring explicit customer consent, customers may find themselves subject to new restrictions without direct notification, potentially affecting permissible use cases.
By incorporating the Acceptable Use Policy, the agreement establishes enforceable restrictions on user conduct without restating those restrictions in full within the primary terms document. This mechanism allows Segment to maintain and update conduct standards through a referenced policy document.
The acceptable use policy operates as a contractual covenant that conditions continued service access on compliance with defined categories of prohibited conduct. Violation of these restrictions may trigger service suspension, termination, or other remedies available under the agreement.
The clause creates a contractual obligation structure in which the customer assumes liability for enforcing acceptable use standards across its user base, linking compliance with a separate policy document that defines prohibited conduct and usage restrictions.
Fly.io
· Fly.io Terms of Service
The AUP is a separate document that defines prohibited conduct and is incorporated by reference, meaning its terms are legally binding even if you only reviewed the main Terms of Service.
Meta
· Llama Community License Agreement
By incorporating the Acceptable Use Policy by reference, the agreement makes compliance with a separate and potentially updateable external document a condition of the license, meaning changes to the Acceptable Use Policy could alter licensee obligations without a formal amendment to the main agreement.
Violating the Acceptable Use Policy, even inadvertently through automated tools or third-party integrations, can result in immediate account suspension under the no-notice termination provision.
The provision incorporates external policy documents into the binding terms of service by reference, meaning updates to those policies modify the operative restrictions and requirements governing service use without requiring separate amendment to the primary terms document.
This provision makes the Acceptable Use Policy a contractually binding document, meaning updates to the AUP automatically become binding on customers, and compliance teams must monitor both documents for policy changes that may affect their operational obligations.
The ability to suspend based on a 'suspected' violation, combined with the right to update the AUP unilaterally, means the rules governing what you can do on the platform can change without requiring your affirmative agreement, and enforcement can occur before a violation is confirmed.
Square
· Square Terms of Service
The clause establishes compliance obligations tied to federal export control and sanctions frameworks, requiring Square to restrict service access based on U.S. regulatory requirements rather than internal discretion alone.
The Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated by reference as a binding obligation but exists as a separate document that users may not have reviewed at the time of acceptance, and it can be updated independently, potentially changing your obligations without a new explicit agreement.
Unity
· Unity Terms of Service
The incorporation establishes that compliance with an external policy document becomes a contractual obligation, and the provision grants Unity broad investigative and enforcement authority without specifying detailed procedural requirements or standards of review prior to account enforcement actions.
Incorporation by reference means that the operational restrictions governing permitted platform use, including email content standards, prohibited industries, and sending behavior requirements, are contractually binding even though they are contained in a separate document that may be updated independently.
Because the AUP is incorporated by reference and subject to unilateral update by Shopify, merchants may become non-compliant through policy changes without any change in their own business practices, creating ongoing compliance monitoring obligations.
PayPal
· PayPal User Agreement
The incorporation of the Acceptable Use Policy by reference means that users are contractually bound by a separate document governing permissible transaction types and activities, and violations of that policy can trigger account enforcement actions including limitation, fund holds, and termination.
This incorporation by reference mechanism makes the AUP enforceable as part of the service agreement without requiring separate acceptance. The unilateral update authority permits Comcast to modify acceptable use standards without amendment to the primary terms, and establishes termination as an authorized remedial action for violations.
Twilio
· Twilio Terms of Service
Because the Acceptable Use Policy is maintained separately and can be updated by Twilio, customers are bound by terms that may change without requiring a formal contract amendment, and violations of the updated policy can trigger account suspension.
PayPal
· PayPal User Agreement
This mechanism consolidates multiple policy documents into a single binding agreement, reducing the number of separate acceptances required while establishing that conduct violations fall under the user agreement's enforcement provisions and remedies.
Meta
· Llama Community License Agreement
By incorporating the Acceptable Use Policy by reference, the agreement makes Meta's usage standards enforceable contractual obligations without reproducing the full policy text in the license agreement itself. This mechanism allows Meta to modify the policy terms by updating the linked document, which users must then comply with prospectively.
PayPal
· PayPal User Agreement
The provision establishes operational boundaries for permissible account activity and creates a liability mechanism linking account termination to potential financial claims. This structure allows PayPal to address both service abuse and recover costs associated with prohibited transaction processing.
PayPal
· PayPal User Agreement
This provision creates a contractual framework that extends PayPal's governance beyond the primary user agreement to multiple subordinate policies and procedural requirements. The arbitration agreement embedded in this clause establishes the mandatory dispute resolution mechanism for all account-related conflicts.
This clause defines the operational boundaries for Service access and establishes baseline security and integrity requirements for the platform infrastructure. The provision allocates discretion to Postman to determine what constitutes an unreasonable infrastructure load and reserves enforcement authority over these categories.
The clause creates content moderation standards that govern permissible use of the platform and establishes the entity's authority to determine compliance based on a broad "harmful or objectionable" standard applied at its sole discretion, which extends beyond enumerated categories.
This provision establishes the content and use restrictions that apply to all platform access, and violations of these restrictions can trigger account suspension or termination under the termination clause. The Acceptable Use Policy is a separate document incorporated by reference, meaning its terms govern alongside the main ToS.
Box
· Box Terms of Service
This clause defines the boundaries of permitted use by specifying categories of prohibited content and conduct. It establishes Box's operational requirement that users comply with legal standards and respect intellectual property and privacy rights when using the platform.
Cohere
· Cohere SaaS Agreement
The acceptable use policy defines the operational boundaries within which the service operates, establishes compliance obligations for users, and provides a contractual basis for service suspension or termination if users engage in restricted activities.
Twilio
· Twilio Terms of Service
The provision allocates operational responsibility and compliance obligations to the customer as the account holder. It requires the customer to maintain security controls, monitor End User conduct, and cooperate with law enforcement requests, establishing the customer as the primary liable party for account activities and third-party conduct.
