Github Terms Github Terms For Additional Products And Features (GitHub)

GitHubUpdated 17 Oct 2025

This document details the specific terms and conditions for various additional products and features offered by GitHub, such as Actions, Codespaces, and GitHub Copilot. These terms supplement the main GitHub Agreement and cover aspects like acceptable use, billing, data handling, and licensing for each feature. It ensures users understand the rules for using these specialized tools within the GitHub ecosystem.

GitHub Terms for Additional Products and Features

Version Effective Date: April 1, 2025

When you use GitHub, you may be given access to lots of additional products and features ("Additional Products and Features"). Because many of the Additional Products and Features offer different functionality, your Agreement with us (the "Agreement") includes the specific terms for that product or feature combined with your main agreement — the GitHub Terms of Service or GitHub Customer Agreement, or the GitHub Corporate Terms of Service or other legacy GitHub contract, or a Microsoft volume licensing agreement. Below, we've listed those products and features, along with the corresponding additional terms that apply to your use of them.

By using the Additional Products and Features, you also agree to the applicable GitHub Terms for Additional Products and Features listed below. A violation of these GitHub Terms for Additional Products and Features is a violation of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Agreement.

For Enterprise users

GitHub Enterprise Cloud users may have access to the following Additional Products and Features: Actions, Advanced Security (including Code Security and Secret Protection), Advisory Database, Codespaces, Dependabot, GitHub Enterprise Importer, Packages, and Pages.

GitHub Enterprise Server users may have access to the following Additional Products and Features: Actions, Advanced Security (including Code Security and Secret Protection), Advisory Database, Connect, Dependabot, GitHub Enterprise Importer, Packages, Pages, and SQL Server Images.

Actions

GitHub Actions enables you to create custom software development lifecycle workflows directly in your GitHub repository. Actions is billed on a usage basis. The Actions documentation includes details, including compute and storage quantities (depending on your Account plan), and how to monitor your Actions minutes usage and set usage limits.

Actions and any elements of the Actions product or service may not be used in violation of the Agreement, the GitHub Acceptable Use Policies, or the GitHub Actions service limitations set forth in the Actions documentation. Additionally, regardless of whether an Action is using self-hosted runners, Actions should not be used for:

Cryptomining;

Disrupting, gaining, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to, any service, device, data, account, or network (other than those authorized by the GitHub Bug Bounty program);

The provision of a stand-alone or integrated application or service offering the Actions product or service, or any elements of the Actions product or service, for commercial purposes;

Any activity that places a burden on our servers, where that burden is disproportionate to the benefits provided to users (for example, don't use Actions as a content delivery network or as part of a serverless application, but a low benefit Action could be ok if it’s also low burden); or

If using GitHub-hosted runners, any other activity unrelated to the production, testing, deployment, or publication of the software project associated with the repository where GitHub Actions are used.
