Vimeo's terms of services clrearly states:
Non Commercial Use Only
If you need a site to power your business' videos, please try one of the many commercial video hosts out there. We remove commercial content that violates our Guidelines without warning.
However, it seems Dropbox is using a Vimeo video on its homepage to showcase their product. Is this against the terms of use? Is this tolerated?
[I'm asking because I am considering to do something similar for my homepage.]

They have likely some sort of private agreement. – o0'. – 2011-10-07T09:27:59.993

Dropbox is probably using Vimeo PRO, which gives them additional commercial rights. http://vimeo.com/pro
– Jin – 2011-10-07T09:28:25.270Justin, please read our [FAQ] … all but one of your questions are sooner or later going to be closed. YouTube / Vimeo is an online service, not computer software, therefore off topic. Especially legal issues. – slhck – 2011-10-07T09:44:57.953
@slhck: Thanks. Could you suggest a more appropriate place? – Randomblue – 2011-10-07T09:46:46.787
If you have specific questions about the usage of YouTube, consider looking at [webapps.SE]. Implementation of websites (thus concrete programming problems with HTML, CSS, JS) are better asked on [SO]. Just make sure your question fits the FAQ. – slhck – 2011-10-07T09:51:37.417
@slhck: Ok, I'll be more careful in the future. – Randomblue – 2011-10-07T09:54:47.727
Sure, no problem! If you have any question about where to ask what, you can also come to [chat] or ask us on [meta]. – slhck – 2011-10-07T09:55:30.797
