Acceptable Use Policy

1. Overview

You are responsible for your own conduct and content and for that of anyone who uses the Services through your account. By using the Services, you agree not to engage in, facilitate, or permit any of the activities described below, and to use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws and these policies.

2. No illegal or harmful use

You may not use the Services to violate any law or regulation, or to engage in, promote, or facilitate unlawful activity. This includes, without limitation:

• Infringing the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any party.
• Generating, storing, or distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that exploits or endangers minors. We report CSAM to the appropriate authorities.
• Producing or distributing content that is defamatory, harassing, or that incites violence or unlawful discrimination.
• Engaging in fraud, deceptive practices, or unlawful gambling.
• Activities that violate export controls or economic sanctions.

3. No security violations

You may not use the Services to compromise the security or integrity of any network, system, or account, including by:

• Unauthorized access, interception, or monitoring of data or traffic.
• Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of systems you are not authorized to test.
• Circumventing authentication, rate limits, or access controls.
• Distributing malware, ransomware, or other malicious code.
• Conducting denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) attacks or generating traffic intended to overwhelm any system.

4. No network abuse

• Sending unsolicited bulk messages (spam) or operating open mail relays or proxies.
• Forging headers or identifiers, or otherwise misrepresenting the origin of traffic.
• Crawling or scraping in a manner that violates a third party’s terms or applicable law.
• Using the Services to anonymize or obscure unlawful activity.

5. Responsible use of compute and AI workloads

Because our infrastructure is used to train and serve machine-learning models, the following uses are prohibited:

• Developing or operating systems intended to generate CSAM, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content that sexualizes minors.
• Creating deceptive synthetic media (e.g., deepfakes) intended to defraud, defame, or interfere with elections or legal processes.
• Building systems whose primary purpose is unlawful surveillance, social scoring in violation of law, or unlawful discrimination.
• Generating or facilitating the creation of weapons, including by providing operational guidance for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive harm.
• Large-scale automated activity that violates the terms of the platforms or people it targets.

Lawful security research, red-teaming of your own systems, and academic work are permitted where conducted responsibly and in compliance with applicable law and this AUP. If you are unsure whether a workload is permitted, contact abuse@bmetal.ai before proceeding.

6. Fair and safe resource use

• You may not interfere with the proper functioning of the Services or the experience of other customers.
• You may not attempt to exceed, evade, or manipulate allocated capacity, quotas, or metering.
• You must operate workloads within published power, thermal, and safety parameters for the environment you are using.

7. Reporting and enforcement

Report suspected violations to abuse@bmetal.ai with sufficient detail for us to investigate. We may investigate suspected violations and may remove or disable access to offending content or workloads.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of this AUP, with or without notice depending on the severity of the violation and any legal obligations. Where a violation creates an imminent risk of harm, to our infrastructure, our customers, or the public, we may act immediately to mitigate that risk. We will cooperate with law enforcement where legally required.

8. Changes

We may modify this AUP at any time by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by other reasonable means.
