Effective starting: October 7, 2025
Here at Atlassian, our goal is to help you and your team do the best work of your lives, every day. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.
To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify such transgressions and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to take action if we see objectionable content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of this policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still take action.
You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all products and websites owned or operated by Atlassian, and any related websites, sub-domains and pages, as well as any cloud services operated by Atlassian.
Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great things. You can find all the legal fine print at the bottom of this page.
Here’s what we won’t allow:
Disruption
- Compromising the security or operation of our systems. This could include probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network that hosts our services. This prohibition does not apply to security assessments expressly permitted by Atlassian
- Tampering with, reverse-engineering, or hacking our services, circumventing any security or authentication measures, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the services, related systems, networks, or data
- Modifying, disabling, or compromising the integrity or performance of the services or related systems, network or data
- Deciphering any transmissions to or from the servers running the services
- Overwhelming or attempting to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on our systems that consumes extraordinary resources (CPUs, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), such as: Using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time by using a normal browser
- Going far beyond the use parameters for any given service as described in its corresponding documentation
- Consuming an unreasonable amount of storage for music, videos, or other content in a way that’s unrelated to the purposes for which the services were designed
Wrongful activities
- Misrepresentation of yourself, or disguising the origin of any content (including by “spoofing”, “phishing”, manipulating headers or other identifiers, impersonating anyone else, or falsely implying any sponsorship or association with Atlassian or any third party)
- Using the services to violate the privacy of others, including publishing or posting other people's private and confidential information without their express permission, collecting or gathering other people’s personal information (including account names or information) from our services, or inferring characteristics or personal information (including sensitive information) about other people using our services
