AUP Layout change and minor update
Description
Currently section 3 of the Gitlab Website Terms of Service is not formatted in a way that is easy to read and does not include the term Spam
.
Checklist when modifying an existing page:
-
What is the goal of changing the page? -
What metrics are we trying to affect? -
How will we decide if the change was successful or not? -
Would we revert the changes if we decided that it was not a success? -
Make sure events are reflected in Google Analytics/Marketo if the page is changed -
Make sure redirection is done if we change the page so email newsletters do not contain dead link
