Github Terms Github Copilot Extension Developer Policy (GitHub)

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 10 Oct 2025

The GitHub Copilot Extension Developer Policy governs the development, use, and distribution of extensions on the GitHub Copilot platform, ensuring privacy, security, transparency, and compliance with applicable laws. It can be trusted as an official GitHub policy, backed by comprehensive legal terms, platform standards, and enforcement mechanisms to protect both developers and users.

[company name] [extension name] Extension Developer Policy

Last Updated: [effective date]

This Agreement is a legal agreement between you (“You”) and [company name]. (“[company name]”, “we”, or “us”). By clicking “I Agree”, you’re agreeing to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, in which case “You” will mean the entity you represent.

[company name] is fortunate to have many developers integrating with the [company name] [extension name] Extensibility Platform (“Platform”). We think that’s awesome, and we want to make that experience even better. While we can’t cover every type of [company name] [extension name] Extension (“Extension”), we do want to lay some ground rules and policies to ensure that You are developing Your Extension with privacy, safety, transparency, and security at the forefront of the User experience.

To protect Users, we reserve the right to take any action we deem necessary if an Extension violates the letter or spirit of this Agreement. By “User” we mean any “User” as defined in our Terms of Service (TOS). By “Personal Data” we means any information which relates to an individual “User”, customer or employee which could, alone or together with other information, identify them as well as content, including, but not limited to, code, text, data uploaded, posted, User inputs, and Extension outputs, transmitted or otherwise made available by Users via the Platform.

Services

By using our Platform, you agree to adhere to this policy and all [company name] terms and policies incorporated by reference. You must also adhere to all technical specifications and requirements published by [company name]. [company name] may update this Agreement and any requirements at any time, and you should periodically review this Agreement and all technical specifications and requirements to ensure compliance with the most recent version. So long as you remain compliant with this Agreement and associated requirements within, we grant you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the term of the Agreement to access and use the Platform for the purpose of publishing, developing, demonstrating, testing and supporting interoperability and integrations between Your Extension and [company name] [extension name].

[company name] reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, Your access to the Platform (or any part of it) with or without notice. It’s your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of the Platform is compatible with the then-current Platform. Other than the rights we expressly give you in this Agreement or the TOS, We don’t grant you any rights or licenses to [company name] [extension name], or to any other [company name] products or services.
