The document you linked is covering a service outside of Vertex AI. Essentially, there are two separate approaches to using a Google AI model: either outside of or inside of Vertex AI. Let's use the Palm API as an example.
- Outside of VertexAI, when you use PalmAPI, your usage is covered by these terms of service and the documents you linked.
- Inside of VertexAI, which is designed for enterprise-grade support, security and compliance, and service level agreement (SLA), you would be accessing the Vertex AI Palm API. Your usage is covered by Google Cloud's terms of service. There is more detail there about the training restriction: "Google will not use Customer Data to train or fine-tune any AI/ML models without Customer's prior permission or instruction" written in the additional terms of service.
So while the underlying model is Palm API for both methods, the terms of usage are different. Hopefully that helps clarify.
