The TOS posted only relates to their Cloud service. You may not host infringing material or pornography on on their *services*. You are also not forced to register for their cloud service. From what I was reading on the new firmware, by registering for the service you can remotely administrate your router but if you do not register it will still function as normal without full remote access.
