Altering Spotify embedding

My Question or Issue

Hello, I have a question regarding the spotify iframe on my website, I've read the widget terms and conditions . And from the terms:

Spotify Content Restrictions. In addition to the foregoing, you must comply with the following restrictions related to Spotify Content.
a. Editing, Modifying, and Altering. Except as agreed upon by Spotify in writing, you shall not edit, modify, alter, or create derivative works of Spotify Content in any way.

I would like to place the iframe into my div with altered width (CSS) style, like this:

<div style="width: 50vw">
<iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/2wozw3N1UXKxoa8fSpznj7?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy"></iframe>
</div>

So, the embedding looks nice on the website [attached screenshot]

If I don't place the embedding into the div, then hugo[website building framework] theme that I use shrinks the embedding in half.

Do I violate the terms in such a case? Thank you in advance

Hi GonnaFlyMethod, welcome to the Community!

In the "Section II: Definitions" of Spotify's Widget Terms, it says that "Spotify Content" refers to any content, data, information, or material provided through Spotify's service. This includes things like sound recordings, album artwork, artist biographies, metadata, playlists, and user data, which covers any data you or others get from Spotify.

Based on this definition, it seems that resizing the widget should be completely fine.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
