- res0nat0r 3y agoThis verbiage is standard for almost all internet/service providers, it's language to allow them to display your content on their behalf.
- funcDropShadow 3y agoThen look at the TOS of Whatsapp, Facebook, and Instagram.
- pera 3y agoYeah sorry I meant in the context of cloud providers
- groestl 3y agoThat's the basis for any business model where you are the product.
- cookiemonsieur 3y ago> That's the basis for any business model where you are the product. True but most times, when you are the product, the service is free. In this case you pay for the service.
- lincm83hey 3y agoThey do offer relatively inexpensive solutions, though. And LinkedIn is a good example of a business whose revenues are largely made from sharing and harvesting data from both paid and free users for the benefit of some of those paying users, and some third parties, too. Vultr is just even cheekier than LinkedIn. Who's to say if they'll actually act on this, but them setting themselves up to legally do this is all a bit gross.
- DougBTX 3y agoThat’s an easy one: the company exists to provide The Services, revenue from commercialising the content supports the company.

- juitpykyk 3y agoThey offer services like store fronts. This might require them to sell your stuff and accept credit cards on your behalf. https://www.vultr.com/marketplace/apps/woocommerce/ https://www.vultr.com/marketplace/apps/woocommerce/
- pera 3y agoAh I was not aware of this, I guess it makes sense then? They could make this section of the ToS specific to their marketplace/store front products
