Acceptable Use Policies Github Disrupting The Experience Of Other Users (GitHub)
The GitHub Disrupting the Experience of Other Users Policy prohibits behaviour that significantly or repeatedly interferes with other users’ ability to productively engage on the platform, such as spammy comments, meaningless pull requests, or excessive notifications. As part of GitHub’s Acceptable Use Policies, it empowers both project maintainers and GitHub staff to restrict accounts that misuse platform features in disruptive ways.
[company name] Disrupting the Experience of Other Users
Being part of a community includes recognizing how your behavior affects others and engaging in meaningful and productive interactions with people and the platform they rely on.
We do not allow behavior that significantly or continually disrupts the experience of other users. This includes:
Posting off-topic comments
Opening empty or meaningless issues or pull requests
Starring and/or following accounts or repositories in large volume in a short period of time
Creating nonsensical or irrelevant code reviews
Engaging with platform features in a way that causes excessive notifications for other users
Using any other platform feature in a way that creates disruption
While we encourage maintainers to moderate their own projects on an individual basis, [company name] staff may take further restrictive action against accounts that are engaging in these types of behaviors.
Please note that the above conduct may also violate other restrictions in our Acceptable Use Policies [policy link]. For example, depending on the nature and severity of the activity, it may rise to the level of bullying and harassment.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
