Docker Terms of Use

Docker Terms of Use for Website and Services

Effective as of: August 26, 2026

Your Agreement with Docker

These Docker Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Docker website available at docker.com and the related Services. These Terms also govern anonymous and unauthenticated access to Docker Hub, including the download of Docker Images made available without requiring an Account. By accessing Docker Hub or downloading any Docker Image without an Account, you are accessing the “Free Hub Access” tier governed by these Terms.

By accessing or using the Services, including by downloading any Docker Image from Docker Hub without creating an Account, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.

**Age Restrictions. **You must be at least 13 years of age to access or use the Services. If you are 13 or older but under 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Services with the prior consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirements. Docker does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If Docker learns it has collected personal information from a child under 13, Docker will promptly delete such information.

Denied Parties. You may not use the Services if you are listed on any U.S. Government Denied Party, Denied Person, or Specially Designated Nationals list, or if you are barred from using the Services under applicable law. Circumventing these restrictions is a breach of these Terms.

**Order of precedence. **Certain Docker products and offerings are governed by separate terms (for example, the Docker Subscription Service Agreement (“SSA”), an order form, or another written agreement). Those terms control for those products and offerings, and in the event of conflict, they prevail over these Terms.

**Open source software. **Open source software (including Docker Engine) is made available under its applicable open source license(s). These Terms do not limit or expand any rights granted under those open source licenses. For clarity, the mere availability of open source software on Docker’s websites does not make Docker responsible or liable for the content, security, or accuracy of such third-party packages.

• Definitions

For purposes of these Terms:

**“Account” **means a Docker account (including a Docker ID) that enables access to certain Services.

**“AI Features” **means any artificial intelligence, machine learning, or generative AI capabilities made available by Docker as part of the Services, including Gordon and any AI-powered assistance, recommendations, or content generation features.

**“Content” **means text, data, images, software, code, documentation, or other materials.

**“Docker Content” **means Content provided by Docker or its licensors (excluding User Content).

**“Docker Hub” **means Docker’s container image registry service available at hub.docker.com, through which Docker Images and related artifacts are made available by Docker and third parties, including under free-access tiers that do not require Account registration.
