In this Acceptable Use Policy, the term “content” means: (1) any information, data, text, software, code, scripts, music, audio, sound, images, graphics, videos, recordings, messages, tags, interactive features, or other materials that you create, post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the services and (2) any other materials, content, or data you provide to Atlassian or use with the services. “Content” also includes submissions by others that you authorized or facilitated to use the services.

Atlassian reserves the right to interpret the guidelines and take (or refrain from taking) action in its discretion. Without affecting any other remedies available to us, Atlassian may permanently or temporarily remove or disable access to unacceptable content, or terminate or suspend a user’s account or access to the services, without notice or liability if Atlassian (in its discretion) determines that a user has violated this Acceptable Use Policy. You agree to cooperate with us to investigate and remedy any violation.
