Scalingo drops its cryptocurrency-mining ban and explicit termination right from prohibited behaviors

The old terms listed hijacking the Platform for other purposes, such as cryptocurrency mining, as prohibited, and said Scalingo could terminate access for breaching that article while seeking damages. Both sentences are removed. The definition of 'Client' as a registered professional subscribing to the freemium or paid version is also removed.

Taken from you

  • Clear 'Client' definition limiting service to registered professionals is gone, making who is covered less clear

Won back

  • Explicit ban on cryptocurrency mining and similar misuse no longer stated
  • Express threat of termination and damages claims for breaching prohibited behaviors article removed
