API / SDK - Terms of use - Question

Clause 1.5(iii) is generally aimed at resale of the Cursor Service itself, for example repackaging Cursor access as your own product, account, or hosted service and charging others to use that access.

Using the Cursor API or SDK in your own application is not automatically the same thing as selling the Service. The key distinction is whether you are building an application that uses Cursor as part of your workflow, versus offering third parties access to Cursor itself or Cursor-powered usage under your account.

An example of prohibited behavior would be:

  • Getting an ultra account
  • Selling someone access to use 1 hour of your ultra account

That’s not the only behavior that is prohibited, but it’s meant to give you an example of an unacceptable behavior.
