Acceptable Use Policy

Operated by: Daaeonyx AI (operated by Sthiven R.), United States ("Daaeonyx AI", "we", "us"). Applies to: every person or entity ("you", "Customer") that accesses the Daaeonyx AI API, dashboard, or any service at daaeonyxai.com (collectively, the "Service").

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is part of, and incorporated into, our Terms of Service. By creating an account, generating an API key, or using the Service, you agree to this AUP. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you accept it for that organization.

1. What the Service is

Daaeonyx AI provides subscription access to a Large Language Model (LLM) inference API. You integrate it into your own applications. You control the prompts you send and what you do with the outputs. We are infrastructure, not the author of your content.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into a contract. The Service is for developers and businesses building their own applications.

3. Your account, subscription and API keys

• You are responsible for all activity under your account and API keys.
• Keep your API keys secret. Do not embed them in client-side code, public repositories, or share them. One active key per subscription (you may regenerate it at any time).
• You must give accurate billing and contact information. Subscriptions are billed at a flat rate — monthly or annual, per your chosen plan — through our payment processor (Merchant of Record).
• Notify us immediately at abuse@daaeonyxai.com if you believe a key has been compromised.

4. Acceptable use

You may use the Service for any lawful purpose consistent with this AUP — building chatbots, coding assistants, automation, internal tools, and similar applications that send prompts to the API and use the responses within your own product.

5. Prohibited uses

You may not use the Service, and may not allow anyone using your account to use it, to create, generate, facilitate, store, or distribute any of the following:

5.1 Illegal or harmful activity

• Anything that violates applicable law or regulation.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexualization of minors — zero tolerance. We will suspend the account immediately, preserve evidence, and report to law enforcement and NCMEC where required. No warning, no refund.
• Content that promotes terrorism, violent extremism, or incites violence against people or groups.
• Facilitation of human trafficking, exploitation, or non-consensual acts.

5.2 Sexual and adult content

• Sexually explicit or pornographic content (NSFW), and AI-generated sexual content involving real or fictional persons.

5.3 Deception and impersonation

• Deepfakes, synthetic media, or voice/text impersonation of a real person or organization intended to deceive.
• Misinformation or disinformation designed to cause harm (e.g. fake news at scale, election manipulation, impersonating officials).
• Phishing, scams, fraud, or social-engineering content.

5.4 Security and abuse of the platform

• Malware, ransomware, exploit code, or instructions whose primary purpose is to cause technical harm.
• Probing, scanning, penetration-testing, overloading, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to our infrastructure or other customers' data.
• Attempting to circumvent rate limits, quotas, authentication, or any usage controls (see §6).

5.5 Privacy and IP

• Processing personal data of others without a lawful basis; harvesting or scraping personal data.
• Infringing intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidentiality obligations.

5.6 High-risk uses without human oversight

• Using model output as the sole basis for decisions in medical, legal, financial, employment, or safety-critical contexts without qualified human review. Outputs are probabilistic and may be wrong (see §8).

5.7 Spam and platform integrity

• Bulk unsolicited messaging (spam), fake-account or fake-engagement generation, or content that violates the policies of the platforms where you deploy it.

6. "Unlimited" policy and fair use

We sell unlimited AI access at a fixed price, protected by fair-use safeguards that keep the platform fast, stable, and reliable for everyone. This section defines exactly what that means so the promise is honest on both sides.

6.1 What "unlimited" means

• No per-token, per-request, or per-month quota. You are never billed by usage and never hit a hard cap that stops your normal work. There is no anxiety about counting tokens.
• Access to the model(s) of your plan through the standard API, for legitimate application use.

6.2 What "unlimited" does NOT mean

• It is not a right to unbounded load, infinite concurrency, or unlimited throughput. "Unlimited" describes billing (no usage meter), not raw capacity.
• It is not a license to resell raw capacity, run the Service as backend infrastructure for third parties (see §7), or extract bulk data at industrial scale.

6.3 Soft limits (speed specs, not quotas)

• Each plan runs within technical rate limits — requests per minute, tokens per minute, and concurrent requests. These are speed specifications that keep latency low for everyone, not usage quotas: you can keep working indefinitely within them.
• These limits are published for your plan and may be tuned to protect platform health; material changes are communicated in advance where practical.

6.4 Abuse and evasion

• Do not run multiple accounts to multiply limits, share one subscription across separate businesses, or attempt to circumvent rate limits, authentication, or any usage control.
• Do not share an API key among multiple users, or place it behind a proxy/gateway that fans it out to many people. Rate limits apply per key: sharing does not multiply capacity — it splits it, degrading service for everyone behind that key.
• Patterns consistent with shared or resold access — sustained concurrency beyond a single user, chronic rate-limit saturation, or token volume far above an individual baseline — are a breach of this AUP and §7.
• Do not operate the Service in a way that degrades availability or quality for other customers.

6.5 Mass automation and disproportionate use

• Sustained, fully-automated, high-volume workloads (e.g. mass scraping, large-scale batch generation, training-data harvesting) go beyond individual fair use. They are not prohibited per se, but they belong on a dedicated or enterprise arrangement sized for that load.
• If your usage materially and persistently exceeds normal individual patterns, we may apply technical throttling and will contact you to move to a suitable plan (team/enterprise/custom) rather than silently degrade you.

6.6 How we protect service quality

• We may apply proportionate technical throttling, prioritization, or temporary limits to preserve stability for all customers. We aim to do this transparently and to talk to you before taking account-level action, except where immediate action is needed to protect the platform.
• We detect abuse and unauthorized sharing or resale using traffic metadata only (concurrency, request and token rates, timestamps — never the content of your prompts), and may throttle, suspend, or revoke keys that show such patterns.

7. Resale and third-party access

• You may not resell, sublicense, white-label, or provide the Service to third parties without our prior written authorization.
• Authorized resellers / affiliates (under a separate written agreement with us) may provide access to their own end users, and remain responsible for those end users' compliance with this AUP.
• Authorized or not, you are responsible for ensuring anyone accessing the Service through you complies with this AUP.
• You are fully liable for all activity transmitted through your account and API keys as if it were your own — including activity by any third party to whom you grant, share, or resell access, whether authorized or not. If such activity violates §5 (e.g. prohibited or illegal content), it is treated as your own violation and may trigger immediate revocation and the consequences in §10, regardless of who actually sent the request.

8. Content responsibility and model output

• You are solely responsible for the prompts you submit and for any use, publication, or distribution of the outputs you obtain.
• Model outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or offensive. They are not advice. You must review outputs before relying on or publishing them.
• We do not monitor your content proactively, but we may review and act on it when we receive a report or detect abuse.

9. Security expectations

• Use the Service over secure connections; protect credentials; follow the minimum-privilege principle in your own integration.
• Report vulnerabilities responsibly to abuse@daaeonyxai.com before any public disclosure.

10. Enforcement, suspension and termination

• We may suspend or terminate access immediately for any violation of this AUP, with or without notice depending on severity (CSAM and active attacks = immediate, no notice). Unauthorized sharing or resale (§6.4, §7) — including traffic-metadata patterns indicating multiple users behind one key — is grounds for throttling, suspension, or revocation.
• No refunds for suspension or termination caused by a violation. The subscription period runs from payment; time lost to a suspension you caused is not credited or refunded.
• We may remove or block specific content or usage patterns without terminating the whole account when proportionate.
• Severe or illegal activity may be reported to the relevant authorities and to our payment processor.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this AUP as the Service, the law, or abuse patterns evolve. Material changes will be posted at daaeonyxai.com with a new effective date. Continued use after changes means acceptance.

12. Governing law and contact

• Governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. (To be updated to the entity's jurisdiction upon incorporation.)
• Privacy is governed by our Privacy Policy (GDPR-aligned for EU customers). Payment handling and card data are managed entirely by our payment processor (Merchant of Record); we never store card numbers.
• Questions or abuse reports: abuse@daaeonyxai.com.
