JetBrains AI Acceptable Use Policy (China)

Version 1.0, effective as of August 27, 2024

We hope you are enjoying JetBrains AI!

In order to keep the JetBrains AI service running smoothly, safely, and securely, JetBrains Shanghai ("We") needs to make sure that JetBrains AI is used fairly and is not misused by its users ("You"). This policy explains, in addition to the JetBrains AI Terms of Service, what We consider unfair and unacceptable use of JetBrains AI and how We can exercise Our rights in the event of a breach. The capitalized terms that are not specifically defined in this policy have the meanings defined in the JetBrains AI Terms of Service. In this document, unless We state otherwise, the word 'including' always means without limitation (i.e., there may be other instances).

You may not use the JetBrains AI service in a way that is restricted, unfair, or unacceptable. This prohibition includes submitting certain Inputs and requesting Outputs that breach this policy, in each case as determined by JetBrains.

Please note that some restrictions are required in order to comply with the acceptable use policies of the providers of AI connected to JetBrains AI. In such cases, the language adopted here is drawn from those policies, including the territory limitations, sector specific restrictions and some other limitations.

1. Territory Limitations

Due to the restrictions imposed by the providers of AI services connected to JetBrains AI, You may use the JetBrains AI service only in mainland China. Usage of JetBrains AI outside these territories is not allowed.

2. Unfair Use

Unfair use of JetBrains AI includes:

(a) Compromising the integrity, performance, or security of JetBrains AI, Our systems, or Our infrastructure in any way. This includes uploading or transmitting any data that contains or redirects to a harmful component or technology – such as a virus, trojan horse, or anything similar – that accesses, downloads, impedes, or otherwise interacts with JetBrains AI in an unauthorized or illegal way.

(b) Circumventing any security or authentication measures, including hacking Our services or gaining unauthorized access to any computer or network. We expect You to prevent unauthorized access to JetBrains AI and keep passwords and other authentication credentials secure.
