Acceptable Use Policy

    Effective Date: June 2, 2026

    • Suspend your account temporarily while we investigate
    • Permanently terminate your account
    • Report the activity to law enforcement where required by law

    Where the violation is fixable, we will always tell you what the issue is and give you a reasonable opportunity to correct it before taking further action. Serious violations — fraud, impersonation, exploitation of minors, or platform attacks — may result in immediate termination without prior notice.

    Account termination due to a policy violation does not entitle you to a refund of any payments made. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for details.
