I am not a lawyer, regardless of the list of examples below(I have been told examples in contracts and TOS are a mixed bag for enforceability), this text says that if anthropic decides to make a product like yours you have to stop using Claude for that product.
That is a pretty powerful argument against depending heavily on or solely on Claude.
- ffsm8 9mo agoIt may or may not be enforceable in the court of law, but they'll definitely ban you if they notice you... And I'm pretty sure ban evasion can become an issue in the court of law, even if the original TOS may not hold up
- davorak 9mo agoThe part I quoted: > This restriction is specifically about competitive use - you cannot use Claude to build products that compete with Anthropic's offerings. Is more strict than the examples. The examples are what I think may not be enforceable. So for example: > What is NOT prohibited: > - General ML/AI development for your own applications (computer vision, recommendation systems, fraud detection, etc.) > - Using Claude as a coding assistant for ML projects If you use Claude for "General ML/AI development for your own applications..." and Anthropic puts out a specific product for "General ML/AI development for your own applications..." you probably can not use Claude for "General ML/AI development for your own applications..." and have to use the new specific product instead. Well as long as the example is not enforceable. The first quote looks enforceable and if I want to be on the same side I have to assume it takes precedence over the example.
