Acceptable Use Policy

This policy exists for one practical reason: abuse gets IP ranges blacklisted, and that ruins the service for every other customer. We enforce it.

Permitted

• SEO and marketing software run against sites you own or are authorised to manage
• Scraping and data collection of publicly accessible data, where the target's terms and robots directives permit it
• Browser automation, bots and scheduled tasks operating your own accounts and infrastructure
• Hosting websites you own
• VPN, remote desktop and development workloads

Prohibited

• Unsolicited bulk email or messages, in any channel
• Automated mass posting of links, comments or content to third-party sites without the site operator's permission
• Operating multiple accounts on a platform in breach of that platform's own terms
• Phishing, malware, credential stuffing, carding or any form of fraud
• Denial-of-service attacks, port scanning or brute-forcing third parties
• Copyright infringement, piracy, and distribution of content you have no right to distribute
• Child sexual abuse material — reported to authorities without exception
• Evading platform bans, detection systems or fraud controls

Enforcement

Where we receive a credible abuse report we will contact you with the detail and, where circumstances allow, give you a reasonable period to resolve it. Active abuse in progress may be suspended immediately. Repeat breaches end the account without refund.
