DRAFT notice. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service. Violation of this AUP is a material breach of the Terms and may result in immediate suspension or termination.
Prohibited uses
You may not, and may not permit any third party (including your users, contributors, or integrations) to, use the Service to engage in, promote, or facilitate any of the following:
- Illegal content or activity. Any content or activity unlawful in any jurisdiction reasonably connected to you, Gluecron, or the intended audience. This includes, without limitation, fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, illegal gambling, illegal drug sale, and trafficking.
- Child sexual abuse material ("CSAM"). Zero tolerance. Any upload, storage, transmission, generation (including via AI features), or solicitation of CSAM results in immediate and permanent account termination, preservation of evidence, and mandatory reporting to law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children ("NCMEC") or equivalent authority, as required by applicable law.
- Malware and harmful code. Creating, distributing, or operating viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, rootkits, keyloggers, cryptominers deployed without consent, or any software designed to damage, disable, or gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
- Stress testing, DDoS, and security-offensive tooling. Conducting load tests, stress tests, denial-of-service attacks, or vulnerability exploitation against the Service, its infrastructure, or any third-party system you are not explicitly authorized in writing to test.
- Scraping and automated abuse. Scraping, crawling, or automated harvesting of the Service (including web UI surfaces) except via our public APIs and within rate limits. Use of the Service to scrape or abuse third-party services is also prohibited.
- Impersonation and deception. Impersonating any person, organization, or Gluecron staff; creating misleading usernames, organizations, or repositories; misrepresenting your affiliation or authority.
- Hate speech, harassment, and threats. Content that incites violence, targets individuals or groups on the basis of protected characteristics, or constitutes targeted harassment, doxing, or credible threats.
- Copyright and trademark infringement. Posting content that infringes a third party's intellectual-property rights. See our DMCA Policy for the notice-and-takedown procedure.
- Privacy violations. Publishing another person's private or personally-identifying information without their consent (including doxing, non-consensual imagery, and leaked credentials, API keys, or secrets belonging to another party).
- Circumventing security or rate limits. Bypassing, disabling, or interfering with authentication, authorization, rate limiting, quota enforcement, or billing controls; sharing credentials; creating multiple accounts to evade limits or bans.
- Commercial abuse of the free tier. Use of free allowances beyond reasonable fair-use limits, including but not limited to: re-selling hosting, using Gluecron as a public-good CDN for unrelated workloads, or running continuous compute-intensive workloads without a paid plan.
Enforcement
- Immediate suspension — for severe violations including CSAM, illegal content, active security attacks, credible threats, and any conduct posing imminent harm. Suspension is at our sole discretion and may occur without prior notice.
- Warning and temporary suspension — for lesser violations, we may (at our discretion) issue a warning, rate-limit the account, temporarily suspend specific features, or remove specific content, before full termination.
- Appeals — you may appeal an enforcement action by emailing support@gluecron.com. We intend to respond within fourteen (14) days. Our decisions are final at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
- No refunds. Accounts terminated for AUP violations are not eligible for refunds of any prepaid fees.
- Law-enforcement cooperation. We will cooperate with valid legal process and may, at our discretion, preserve and disclose account information and content where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm or comply with applicable law.
