Legal / Acceptable Use Policy
Acceptable Use Policy
This policy applies to everyone who uses StandardWorks: Organizations, their team members, Hosting Businesses' End Customers, and Providers. Hosting Businesses must apply terms at least as strict to their own customers.
You must not use StandardWorks to
- Store, share or link to child sexual abuse material. We report it to the relevant authorities and terminate the accounts involved.
- Break the law, or help others do so, including fraud, sanctions violations and the sale of illegal goods.
- Distribute malware, run botnets or command-and-control servers, or host phishing or credential-harvesting pages.
- Send spam or unsolicited bulk messages.
- Attack, scan or probe systems you don't own or have permission to test, including denial-of-service attacks.
- Infringe intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights.
- Harass, threaten or incite violence against people or groups.
- Mine cryptocurrency on network capacity unless the Provider's listing explicitly allows it. [DECISION: platform-wide policy on mining.]
Platform integrity
You must not try to get around resource limits, tenant isolation, metering, funding or billing; access another Organization's data or Services; tamper with the StandardWorks agent; or interfere with other customers' use of shared infrastructure.
Reporting abuse
Report abuse to [ABUSE REPORT EMAIL] with the URL or IP address, the time, and what you saw.
What we do
Depending on severity, we may warn the Organization, ask a Hosting Business to act, restrict new orders, suspend or remove the Service, preserve evidence under a legal hold, and cooperate with law enforcement. Prepaid funding protects Services from billing interruptions; it does not protect abusive or illegal workloads.
