Rust Maintainer Cloud Compute Access Agreement #
This Rust Maintainer Cloud Compute Access Agreement (together with the other policies below, the “Agreement”) is a legal contract between (1) the Rust Foundation (“Foundation,” “we,” or “us”); and (2) you, the individual using the Services provided under this agreement.

By using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. You also agree to be bound by the Rust Foundation Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), and Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”), each of which are incorporated into this Agreement.
