Acceptable Use Policy

1. Prohibited content & conduct

Illegal content or activity under applicable law in your jurisdiction and ours.

Malware, ransomware, phishing kits, credential harvesting, cryptojacking scripts, or exploit distribution.

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — reported to authorities immediately; zero tolerance.

Content that incites imminent violence or targeted harassment of individuals or protected groups.

Spam, deceptive funnels, pyramid schemes, or large-scale SEO manipulation hosted on our gateways.

Unauthorized use of copyrighted works, trademarks, or trade secrets.

Publishing personal data without lawful basis (doxxing, non-consensual intimate imagery).

Content whose primary purpose is to facilitate unlawful access to third-party systems or data.

2. Platform abuse

Circumventing quotas, authentication, or rate limits; credential stuffing; DDoS against our infrastructure.

Mining cryptocurrency on our build workers or using deploy pipelines for unrelated batch compute.

Reselling the service without written permission where plans restrict it.

3. IPFS-specific responsibilities

You understand that pinned content may propagate to cooperative storage nodes and public gateways. Do not deploy material you cannot lawfully distribute in this model.

Linking to illegal third-party content from an otherwise static site may still violate this AUP.

4. Enforcement

We may remove pins, disable gateways for your content, suspend workspaces, and preserve evidence for legal requests.

Repeated or severe violations result in permanent termination.

5. Copyright & takedown

Send copyright notices with sufficient detail (work identified, infringing URL/CID, contact, good-faith statement) to legal@ipfshost.io. We respond per applicable law and may terminate repeat infringers.

6. Report abuse

Security or abuse reports: abuse@ipfshost.io. Include URLs, CIDs, timestamps, and description.
