Usage Policy

You must not use the Services in any manner that violates any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation. This includes (without limitation) laws relating to data privacy, intellectual property, consumer protection, anti-discrimination, child protection, and export controls.

Examples of unlawful or prohibited conduct include:

• Privacy and identity harm: doxxing, stalking, unauthorized access to systems, social engineering, or collecting personal data without a lawful basis or consent
• Impersonation and deception: presenting AI output as official statements from real people or institutions, or using the Services to create convincing fraudulent identities
• Child exploitation: any attempt to create, request, distribute, or facilitate child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or grooming content (we will report where legally required)
• Illegal goods/services: facilitating illegal drugs, weapons trafficking, or instructions that materially enable serious crimes
• Regulated activities: using the Services for regulated professional activities (e.g., legal/medical/financial) without meeting applicable licensing, disclosure, and compliance requirements
• Biometrics and surveillance: building facial recognition databases from scraped images, biometric categorization, or unlawful surveillance of individuals

You must not use the Services to build or operate fully autonomous systems that make consequential decisions about individuals without meaningful human oversight. This includes using AI Output as the sole or primary basis for decisions that affect a person's legal rights, safety, access to essential services, or economic opportunities.

Prohibited high-risk applications include:

• Automated legal judgments, sentencing, or law enforcement
• Autonomous weapons systems or military targeting
• Social scoring or surveillance of individuals
• Biometric identification, profiling, or monitoring of individuals without a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards
• Critical infrastructure control without human supervision (including road traffic management and the supply of water, gas, heating, or electricity)
• Automated hiring, credit scoring, or insurance decisions that operate without human review
• Eligibility decisions for housing, education, immigration, or government benefits without meaningful human review
• Education and vocational training decisions — including determining access to educational institutions, evaluating learning outcomes, or assessing student performance — without meaningful human oversight
• Employment and workforce management — including automated résumé screening, recruitment filtering, promotion decisions, or worker monitoring — without human review
• Migration, asylum, and border control management — including risk assessments, application processing, or document verification used as the sole basis for decisions affecting individuals
• Media, journalism, or professional publishing — including using the Services to autonomously generate content published for external consumption as authoritative reporting without human editorial review and appropriate AI-generated content disclosures
• Administration of justice and democratic processes — including automated judicial reasoning, case outcome prediction used to determine legal rights, or tools designed to influence electoral processes

In addition, you must not use the Services for prohibited or harmful AI practices, including:

• Using subliminal, manipulative, or deceptive techniques intended to materially distort a person's behaviour in a way that is likely to cause harm
• Exploiting vulnerabilities related to age, disability, or socio-economic circumstances in a way that is likely to cause harm
• Predicting an individual's likelihood of committing a crime based solely on profiling or personality traits
• Inferring a person's emotions in workplaces or educational settings, except where necessary for medical or safety reasons and permitted by law
• Biometric categorisation intended to infer sensitive attributes (e.g., race, political opinions, religion, sexual orientation)
• Untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet/CCTV to create or expand facial recognition databases

This rule is informed by widely recognised responsible AI risk principles (including concepts reflected in emerging AI regulation) and is intended to reduce the risk of real-world harm from misuse of AI Output.

You must not use the Services to promote, encourage, glorify, or provide instructions for self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or any form of self-destructive behaviour. This includes generating content that trivialises or romanticises such topics.

You must not use the Services to generate content that threatens, incites, promotes, or glorifies violence, terrorism, or extremism against any person or group. This includes:

• Threats of physical harm or intimidation
• Instructions for creating weapons, explosives, or dangerous substances
• Recruitment or propaganda for terrorist or extremist organisations
• Content designed to instil fear, cause panic, or incite mass violence

You must not use the Services to generate content that promotes hatred, intolerance, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic. This includes harassment, slurs, dehumanising language, and stereotypes intended to demean.

You must not use the Services for fraudulent, deceptive, or malicious purposes, including:

• Phishing, social engineering, or impersonation schemes
• Creating or distributing malware, ransomware, spyware, or exploits
• Generating spam or deceptive marketing content
• Creating fake reviews, testimonials, or endorsements
• Financial fraud, pyramid schemes, or money laundering
• Identity theft or creating synthetic identities

You must not use the Services to deliberately create or spread false, misleading, or deceptive information, including:

• Fabricated news articles presented as genuine journalism
• Deepfake or synthetic media intended to deceive viewers about real events or individuals
• False claims about public health, medical treatments, or scientific consensus
• Conspiracy theories designed to undermine public trust in democratic institutions

You must not redistribute AI-generated Output from the Services in a manner that causes harm, deceives others, or violates the rights of third parties. Specifically:

• Do not redistribute Output as authoritative professional advice (medical, legal, financial) without appropriate disclaimers and human review
• Do not use Output to impersonate real individuals or create convincing fake profiles
• Do not present AI-generated content as original human-authored work in contexts where the distinction matters (academic submissions, journalistic reporting, expert testimony)

You must not use the Services to:

• Generate misleading political content intended to influence elections or democratic processes
• Create fake grassroots movements or astroturfing campaigns
• Impersonate political figures, government officials, or public institutions
• Generate mass-produced personalised political messaging designed to manipulate voter behaviour

AI-generated Output is not a substitute for professional advice. You must not use the Services as a replacement for qualified medical, legal, financial, engineering, or other professional consultation. If you choose to use Output in any professional context, you are solely responsible for verifying its accuracy and seeking appropriate expert guidance.

You must not use the Services to generate, distribute, or facilitate:

• Sexually explicit content involving minors (child sexual abuse material — CSAM) — this is illegal and will be reported to law enforcement authorities
• Non-consensual intimate imagery (real or synthetic) of any individual
• Content that sexualises or exploits children in any form
• Graphic sexual content unless explicitly permitted by the specific feature or service tier

When sharing or publishing AI-generated Output from the Services, you should clearly disclose that the content was generated with the assistance of AI. This is especially important in contexts where recipients may reasonably expect human authorship, such as journalism, academic writing, professional communications, or creative works published under your name.

The Services or underlying AI models may embed metadata, watermarks, or other identifiers in generated content. You must not intentionally remove, alter, or obscure these markers. Removing safety markers may violate applicable laws and will be treated as a violation of this Policy.

You must not attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any safety, moderation, or usage controls implemented by Combily or the underlying AI providers. This includes:

• Prompt injection attacks or adversarial inputs designed to bypass content filters
• Jailbreaking attempts to override model safety instructions
• Exploiting system vulnerabilities to access restricted features
• Using automated tools to circumvent rate limits or usage quotas
• Coordinated misuse by multiple accounts acting in concert
