Honestly, if that's how you read that clause of the ToU, you need to work on your reading comprehension. Not trying to offend you or anything, but that's clearly not what it says.Based on the words immediately prior to "business purpose", I'm fairly sure that's what it implies. Feel free to share your interpretation though.The words "advertise," "offer," and "services" all blatantly and directly contradict your interpretation. In no way, shape, or form do the Terms of Use require an "exchange of goods" in order for a violation to occur.
Also, why do you think that intentionally vague ToUs will "get you into trouble"? Intentionally vague anythings will get you into trouble. There is ambiguity in both rules and laws. Successful arguments (when challenging rules and laws) depend on convincing people that the grey area represents what you want it to represent. If you have a larger grey area, there is more room for a successful challenge to a rule. You can argue that my previous examples would violate the TOU, but you would first have to prove it using the language supplied in the TOU.You don't understand; this is not a law. This is a set of terms of use to which you must agree before you can use this website. They are intentionally broad (what you're calling "vague") in order to inform users of a wide category of issues which may result in their removal from the website. And their removal from the website is in the sole discretion of Bungie and/or its designees -- another thing that users agree to before they can use the website.
In that sense, Bungie does not have to "argue" or "prove" anything at all. It can remove you from this website for any reason or no reason at all, as it sees fit. The Terms of Use provide you with notice of the kinds of things which will result in your removal, either temporarily or permanently. But by no means do they constitute a "gray area" or a "line" which requires Bungie to "prove" that you crossed it. So no, intentionally broad Terms of Use are not going to get anyone in trouble.
