Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated and effective:

This policy is part of our Terms of Service. It applies to everyone who uses VektorForgeAI’s Services: your VektorForgeAI account, Product Architect, Program Forgemaster and, when it launches, Systems Alloysmith, and any Platform we add later. It also applies to the people you share with and to software you connect through an API key. Words such as Services, Platform, Your Content, API key, AI features, AI provider, external AI assistant, plan limits, export, download, Security Incident and vulnerability report have the meanings in the Terms of Service. Two more: malware is software designed to damage, disrupt or gain unauthorized access to systems; prompt injection is hiding instructions in content to trick an AI system into ignoring its rules.

1. Lawful and respectful use

You will not use the Services to:

  • break the law, or infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
  • upload or share content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening or sexually explicit, or that exploits or harms minors;
  • send spam or unsolicited messages, including through invitations, sharing or alerts;
  • impersonate anyone or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or organization.

2. Data you put into the Services

You will not put into the Services sensitive information they are not designed for, including:

  • payment card numbers, bank account details and government ID numbers, such as Social Security numbers;
  • passwords, API keys and other secrets for other systems;
  • health information, and genetic or biometric data;
  • information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status;
  • precise geolocation;
  • personal information about children under 13.

You will only enter personal information about other people that you have the right to share, and you are responsible for any notices or permissions the law requires.

3. Security and integrity

You will not:

  • try to gain unauthorized access to the Services, other people’s accounts or content, or our systems;
  • probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Services, including for security research, without our written permission given in advance (see our Security page);
  • upload malware or anything designed to harm or interfere with the Services;
  • interfere with or overload the Services, or get around plan limits or access rules;
  • access the Services by automated means except through the API and other features we provide, or share your sign-in details or API keys with others.

4. AI features

You will not:

  • try to get around the safety measures of the Services or our AI provider, for example through prompt injection or attempts to extract the Services’ instructions;
  • use AI features to generate content that breaks this policy or our AI provider’s usage policies;
  • use an external AI assistant connected to the Services to do anything this policy prohibits;
  • present AI output as human-written professional advice, or use it as the only basis for decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on people, such as hiring, firing, promotion, credit or housing, without meaningful human review.

5. Our Services and other customers

You will not copy, resell, sublicense or provide the Services to others as your own; reverse engineer them (work out their underlying code or design from how they behave) except where the law allows; or use the Services, including AI features, to build or train a competing product. You will not use sharing, exports or downloads to give people access to content beyond what its owner allowed.

6. What happens if this policy is broken

We may remove or disable content, suspend or revoke API keys, limit features, or suspend or terminate access to a Platform or to the Services, as described in the Terms of Service. Where reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. We may act immediately when there is a security risk, a risk of harm to others or a legal requirement. We may report suspected illegal activity to the authorities, as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Reporting misuse

To report content or behavior that breaks this policy, email info@vektorforgeai.com. Report a suspected Security Incident through a Platform’s “Report an incident” form, ticking “Possible security issue”, or by email to security@vektorforgeai.com, and send a vulnerability report to security@vektorforgeai.com as described on our Security page. The Terms of Service list every way to report a problem.

8. Changes

We may update this policy at any time, as described in the Terms of Service. Changes take effect when we post them.
