Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") covers what you may and may not do with SitegenOS-generated sites and the platform itself. Violations may result in site takedown, account suspension, or termination.

Prohibited content

You may not generate, publish, or host content that:

Is illegal

• Promotes or facilitates illegal activity in your or our jurisdiction.
• Infringes copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights (see DMCA Policy).
• Violates export control or sanctions laws.

Is harmful

• Contains malware, phishing attempts, or other malicious code.
• Promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• Targets violence, hatred, or discrimination against protected groups (race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability).
• Threatens or incites violence against any person or group.

Is sexually exploitative

• Includes sexual content involving minors. Zero tolerance — reports will be forwarded to law enforcement.
• Adult sexual content of any kind. SitegenOS is not the platform for that.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, "revenge porn," or sexually explicit content of real persons without their consent.

Is fraudulent or deceptive

• Misrepresents your identity, business, or services.
• Fakes reviews, testimonials, or credentials. SitegenOS only embeds reviews actually present in the source data — never fabricates ratings or quotes.
• Operates as a phishing site, fake login page, or "official-looking" impersonation of a legitimate brand.
• Promotes Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, or other forms of financial fraud.

Is spam

• Generates sites in bulk without genuine business intent.
• Uses SitegenOS to harvest emails, phone numbers, or other contact details.
• Sends unsolicited commercial communications via published contact forms.

Prohibited conduct

You may not:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our AI prompts or template structures.
• Bypass rate limits, anti-abuse measures, or authentication.
• Resell SitegenOS access without our written permission. (Generating sites for clients IS the intended use; reselling raw platform access is not.)
• Use SitegenOS to create competing AI website builders.
• Probe, scan, or test the security of SitegenOS infrastructure without authorization. Responsible disclosure is welcome at hello@sitegenos.com.

Reporting violations

If you encounter content on a SitegenOS-hosted site that violates this AUP, click the "Report this site" link in the site's footer, or email hello@sitegenos.com with the URL and a brief description.

Enforcement

When we identify or receive a credible report of a violation, we typically:

1. Investigate within 24 business hours.
2. Warning + 24h to remedy for first-time, low-severity violations (where applicable).
3. Site takedown for confirmed violations — site stops resolving publicly.
4. Account suspension for repeated violations or first-time severe violations.
5. Account termination + permanent block for content involving minors, doxxing, or active fraud.

We log every enforcement action for audit purposes. You may appeal an enforcement decision by emailing hello@sitegenos.com within 30 days.

Jurisdictional differences

Some content is legal in some jurisdictions and illegal in others. We apply the strictest standard: if content is illegal in either ApeTec Ltd's home jurisdiction (UK) or the jurisdiction where the site's audience is primarily located, we treat it as a violation.

Why this matters

Local-business websites are trust artifacts. A plumber's site that hosts spam, a restaurant's site that hosts hate speech, or a salon's site that fakes reviews — each one breaks the trust local businesses depend on. We enforce this AUP because the alternative is a worse internet for everyone.
