Auteur Intelligence™ — Acceptable Use Policy

Version 2026-11-05.2

In plain words

Use Auteur Intelligence lawfully, responsibly, and within the rules of the services you connect.

Do not use Auteur to harm people, infringe rights, attack systems, evade another provider's rules, use credentials you are not authorized to use, or operate the Products for others in a way your plan does not allow.

Auteur includes automated and agentic workflows. Those systems can perform many actions quickly, including actions that consume third-party credits or create charges. You are responsible for the workflows you authorize, the provider accounts you connect, the limits and approval gates you configure, and reviewing consequential actions before relying on them.

Auteur Intelligence is public-beta software. If you discover a bug, runaway workflow, repeated request, unexpected provider activity, or other defect, do not deliberately exploit it. Stop the affected workflow where practical, use provider-side controls when necessary, and report the problem so we can investigate it.

This Acceptable Use Policy forms part of the Auteur Intelligence Terms of Service.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to all Auteur Intelligence Products, including local, hosted, hybrid, cloud, agentic, connector, automation, API, MCP, command-line, creative-application, and local-node features.

It applies whether you use your own provider account, local compute, an Auteur-managed feature, or another supported processing route.

2. Use the Products lawfully

You may not use the Products to violate applicable law or to assist another person in doing so.

This includes violations of applicable:

• intellectual-property law;
• privacy, publicity, and data-protection law;
• fraud and consumer-protection law;
• export-control and sanctions law;
• computer-crime and unauthorized-access law; and
• other laws governing the content, activity, or jurisdiction involved.

3. Respect intellectual-property and other rights

Do not upload, copy, transform, distribute, publish, or otherwise use material through Auteur unless you have the right to do so.

Do not use the Products to knowingly infringe:

• copyright;
• trademark rights;
• trade secrets;
• privacy rights;
• publicity or likeness rights;
• contractual restrictions; or
• other legal rights.

If you use the image, voice, likeness, performance, writing, code, data, or other material of another person, you are responsible for obtaining any permission required for your use.

4. Prohibited harmful content and activity

You may not use the Products to create, facilitate, distribute, or promote unlawful or seriously harmful material, including:

• child sexual abuse material or sexual content involving minors;
• non-consensual intimate imagery;
• material created to credibly threaten, stalk, harass, extort, or facilitate serious violence against a person;
• malware or malicious code intended to compromise systems or steal information;
• fraudulent schemes intended to deceive people for money, property, credentials, or access; or
• other content or activity prohibited by applicable law.

5. Impersonation, synthetic media, and deception

Do not use Auteur to unlawfully impersonate another person or organization or to create deceptive synthetic media that violates another person's rights.

If a third-party provider requires disclosure that content is AI-generated, synthetic, altered, or created with a particular service, you are responsible for following that requirement.

If your work uses a real person's voice, likeness, performance, or other protected identity attribute, you are responsible for obtaining the consent or legal rights required for that use.

6. Do not attack or interfere with systems

You may not:

• probe, scan, or test systems for vulnerabilities without authorization;
• attempt to access another customer's account, workspace, content, credentials, or data;
• interfere with the operation of Auteur or a connected service;
• circumvent authentication, security controls, quotas, approval gates, account restrictions, or technical protections;
• introduce malware or deliberately harmful code;
• use automated activity to overload or degrade the service; or
• intentionally exploit a known defect to obtain access, usage, benefits, credits, services, or functionality you are not entitled to receive.

Good-faith bug reports and authorized security testing are not prohibited when conducted under any security-reporting process we make available.

7. Connected providers and third-party rules

Auteur can connect to services we do not control.

Those providers may have their own:

• terms of service;
• acceptable-use rules;
• account-sharing restrictions;
• API rules;
• subscription conditions;
• OAuth rules;
• MCP or command-line requirements;
• automation restrictions;
• rate limits;
• credit or billing rules;
• content policies;
• licence conditions; and
• technical restrictions.

You may not use Auteur to evade or bypass those rules.

Do not connect credentials, accounts, subscriptions, API keys, OAuth grants, service accounts, MCP connections, command-line sessions, or other authorizations that you are not permitted to use.

A provider may change its rules after you connect it. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the terms that apply to the provider account and connection method you choose.

Auteur may disable, restrict, or remove a connector if we reasonably believe continued operation may violate a provider rule, if authorization becomes unclear, if a provider requests a change, or if the connection creates a material legal, security, account, or service risk.

8. Automated agents and workflows are your responsibility

Auteur can perform multi-step automated work on your instructions.

Depending on the workflow, an agent or automation may:

• call one or more models;
• retry failed requests;
• generate multiple alternatives;
• use tools;
• search or retrieve information;
• read or transform files;
• invoke APIs;
• operate supported creative applications;
• publish or prepare material;
• route work between providers;
• perform evaluations or verification; or
• consume third-party credits, tokens, compute, subscription allowances, or other paid resources.

You are responsible for deciding what level of automation is appropriate for your work and connected accounts.

Use appropriate:

• provider-side spending limits;
• hard budgets;
• quotas;
• prepaid balances;
• allowlists;
• approval gates;
• permissions;
• rate limits;
• human review; and
• other available controls.

Review consequential output and actions before relying on them.

9. Public-beta bugs and unexpected activity

Auteur Intelligence is public-beta software, and defects can occur.

If you observe a retry loop, repeated generation, duplicated request, runaway task, inaccurate usage estimate, delayed stop signal, queue error, unexpected publishing action, integration defect, provider timeout, or other abnormal behavior:

• stop or pause the affected workflow where practical;
• use the connected provider's own account controls if necessary;
• disconnect or revoke affected credentials where appropriate;
• avoid intentionally allowing a known defect to continue consuming resources or causing harm; and
• report the problem to hello@auteurintelligence.com with enough information for us to investigate it.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate and correct reported material defects promptly.

Third-party charges, credits, allowances, tokens, compute, or other provider usage resulting from connected accounts are governed by the Terms of Service and Refund and Cancellation Policy. They remain the customer's responsibility to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including where an Auteur bug caused or contributed to the usage.

10. Content and instructions from outside sources

Documents, websites, repositories, prompts, plugins, skills, tools, MCP servers, model outputs, and other material from outside Auteur may contain misleading, malicious, or hidden instructions.

Treat untrusted material as untrusted.

Do not assume that an automated agent can always distinguish legitimate project instructions from malicious or irrelevant instructions embedded in material it reads.

Use appropriate review, permissions, allowlists, sandboxing, and approval controls when ingesting material from sources you do not trust.

11. Credentials and account security

Protect your Auteur credentials and the credentials of connected services.

Do not:

• share credentials with people who are not authorized to use them;
• publish secret keys or access tokens;
• use another person's credentials without authorization;
• attempt to extract credentials belonging to another customer; or
• circumvent seat, account, or subscription restrictions.

If you believe a credential has been compromised, revoke or rotate it promptly using the controls provided by Auteur or the applicable third-party provider.

12. Resale, account sharing, and unauthorized service operation

Unless your plan or a separate written agreement expressly permits it, you may not:

• resell Auteur access;
• sublicense the proprietary Products;
• operate the proprietary Products as a service for unrelated third parties;
• share one seat among multiple people when the plan requires individual seats; or
• represent proprietary Auteur software as your own product.

This section does not restrict rights granted directly under an applicable open-source or third-party licence.

13. Reverse engineering and protected Product components

Except where applicable law or an applicable third-party licence gives you the right to do so, you may not:

• reverse engineer proprietary Auteur software;
• decompile or disassemble protected Product components;
• extract non-public source code, prompts, model weights, credentials, or security mechanisms; or
• use non-public Auteur materials to build or train a competing product.

Third-party and open-source components remain governed by their own applicable licences.

14. Publishing, external actions, and professional judgment

You are responsible for material you choose to publish, distribute, send, deliver, upload, submit, or use outside Auteur.

Review AI-assisted work before relying on it.

Do not treat generated output as automatically accurate, lawful, original, complete, or suitable for a consequential decision.

Where a workflow can publish, send, modify, delete, purchase, spend, deploy, or otherwise take an external action, configure approval requirements appropriate to the risk.

15. Reporting abuse, defects, or security problems

Contact:
hello@auteurintelligence.com

When reporting a technical defect, include enough non-sensitive information for us to identify the affected Product, workflow, provider, approximate time, and observed behavior.

Do not include passwords, secret keys, complete payment-card numbers, or other credentials in an ordinary support message.

16. Enforcement

Depending on the circumstances, we may:

• warn you;
• rate-limit or throttle activity;
• require additional verification;
• disable an automation or connector;
• restrict a feature;
• suspend an account;
• terminate access; or
• take other reasonable steps necessary to protect users, providers, our systems, or legal compliance.

Where practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to correct a curable issue.

We may act immediately where necessary to address ongoing harm, unauthorized access, security risk, fraud, legal requirements, provider requirements, or a serious threat to another person or system.

Termination for a material violation is governed by the Terms of Service and Refund and Cancellation Policy.

17. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the Products, provider relationships, risks, or legal requirements change.

Material changes affecting existing customers will be communicated where required by the Terms of Service or applicable law.
