Sites can clearly state restrictions on data scraping and commercial use in their terms of service, providing a basis for subsequent negotiations.
Terms of service have contractual binding force, on which basis platforms can take measures such as banning accounts and pursuing legal liability against violating automated behavior.
If terms of service are not presented to users prominently and with explicit consent obtained, their validity may be challenged.
User agreements of mainstream model vendors generally prohibit bypassing safety mechanisms and generating illegal or harmful content, and violating the terms may lead to account bans and revocation of API access.
Large-scale scrapers are often spread across multiple jurisdictions, and a single platform's terms of service have limited effect in cross-border scenarios.
Automated scrapers are not necessarily registered users and may never have clicked to agree, which makes it difficult for platforms to pursue liability directly on grounds of breach of contract.
Terms of service are essentially a standard-form contract between the platform and the user, and their effect derives from the act of the user accepting the terms.
Some vendors have begun explicitly prohibiting distillation-purpose usage in their terms of service and using detection results as a legal basis for account suspension.
