SAS OnDemand - For companies, legal?

[SasStatistics]

Is it legal/ok to use SAS OnDemand for Academics even though you are a company/organization? 

intuitively I thought it was for academics only, but seeing the picture below, I am not sure:

There is additional information that you might find helpful in the "License" link on the SAS OnDemand login page.  Here is the link:

General idea - commercial usage is not allowed. Using it to learn on your own is perfectly fine. 

There are some cloud offerings of SAS that would allow you to use it On Demand for a fee though.

The Software and Service may be
used and accessed solely by you for (i) coursework and/or instruction directly related to your teaching and classroom
requirements and noncommercial research activities; (ii) learning of SAS software to support personal development goals
(“Learning” and or “Learner”); and (iii) only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Noncommercial research
activity is research that is (a) in support of your degree-granting requirements or a faculty member's tenure; (b) federally
funded in support of academia; or (c) in fulfillment of or funded by a university related program or initiative. Commercial
research activity is research that is performed by employees of Degree Granting Institutions for compensation and
includes, but is not limited to, research that is in fulfillment of or funded by a government related program or initiative the
results of which will be sold or serviced to or by nonacademic markets and used by nonacademic users located on
nonacademic premises. SAS shall have the right to audit usage of the Service by you to verify compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

Another exception for SAS University Edition was that use was permitted in non-academic settings if you were working on a paper to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, and you were not being paid for that work specifically (that is, you were getting only your regular salary).

That must have come up, because someone asked the question.  I don't know whether the same rule applies to SAS On Demand; it's not obvious in the registration agreement.
