plan language
Commercial use

Grants GitHub the right to offer subscription-based high-throughput API access for users requiring resale-level service, establishing a tiered access model.

" GitHub may offer subscription-based access to our API for those Users who require high-throughput access or access that would result in resale of GitHub's Service."
📍 § H (API Terms)Jump to exact text →
plan language
Privacy & data use

Prohibits use of the API to download data or content for spamming purposes, explicitly including the sale of GitHub users' personal information to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards.

Moderation & enforcement

Establishes GitHub's enforcement procedure for API abuse or excessive usage, including sole discretion to determine violations and a reasonable attempt to provide email warning before suspension.

plan language
Moderation & enforcement

Incorporates the main Terms of Service and Section H as applicable to all API usage, including through third-party products, defining the scope of agreement for API users.

" Short version: You agree to these Terms of Service, plus this Section H, when using any of GitHub's APIs (Application Programming Interface), including use of the API through a third party product that accesses GitHub. "
📍 § H (API Terms)Jump to exact text →
plan language
Moderation & enforcement

This clause imposes an obligation on users to pay all fees and taxes associated with their Service use, to provide valid payment means for paid accounts, and to contact GitHub Support to dispute charges, establishing comprehensive payment responsibility.

" You are responsible for all fees, including taxes, associated with your use of the Service. By using the Service, you agree to pay GitHub any charge incurred in connection with your use of the Service. If you dispute the matter, contact us..."
📍 § 5 (Responsibility for Payment)Jump to exact text →
plan language
Moderation & enforcement

Prohibits sharing API tokens in a manner that would exceed GitHub's rate limitations, restricting token sharing behavior.

" You may not share API tokens to exceed GitHub's rate limitations."
📍 § H (API Terms)Jump to exact text →
plan language
Moderation & enforcement

Imposes a minimum age requirement of 13, states GitHub will terminate accounts of users found to be under 13, and places responsibility on users in jurisdictions with higher minimum ages to comply with local law — creating both a platform enforcement obligation and a user compliance obligation.

" One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine)."
📍 § 3 (Account Requirements)Jump to exact text →
plan language
Moderation & enforcement

Prohibits use of GitHub in violation of U.S. and applicable export control or sanctions laws, prohibits use by Specially Designated Nationals or denied parties, and notes that GitHub may permit access in certain sanctioned regions under U.S. government authorizations, establishing compliance restrictions and a conditional permission.

" Your login may only be used by one person — i.e., a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many Personal Accounts as your subscription allows."
📍 § 3 (Account Requirements)Jump to exact text →
Conflicting provisions (1)
  • Clause A explicitly allows for one free machine account in addition to a free personal account, while Clause B states a user may not have more than one free account in total.

    " A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account, provides a valid email address, and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account, but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account."
    " Short version: Personal Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 13 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one free Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure. "

Cross-clause notes

Cross-reference

Two verified clauses intersect on the same subject matter: the Terms of Service, § 2 (Upon Cancellation) addresses how long content is retained, and the Terms of Service, § 3 (Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output) addresses use of content in connection with model training or service improvement. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.

Cross-reference

The Terms of Service, § 5 (License Grant to Other Users) describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Terms of Service, § 8 (Public Repositories and Lawful Access) describes disclosure of data to third parties or subprocessors. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.

Cross-reference

The Terms of Service, § 3 (Development and Improvement Using Your Input and Output) describes a way to decline model training, and the Terms of Service, § 2 (Upgrades, Downgrades, and Changes) states that terms differ by plan or tier. Whether the opt-out applies on every tier is determined by those clauses together — read both before relying on the opt-out.

A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account, provides a valid email address, and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account, but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions. You may maintain no more than one free machine account in addition to your free Personal Account.
