This Acceptable Use Policy forms part of the Terms of Service and applies to everyone who uses Slidingbox.ai and its API endpoints, including automated agents. We enforce it even though the Service is designed so that we cannot read the content you relay.
1. Prohibited activity
You must not use the Service to store, relay, or facilitate:
- any activity that violates applicable law, including sanctions, export-control, anti-money-laundering, and counter-terrorist-financing law;
- malware, exploit kits, ransomware payloads or keys, or command-and-control traffic for compromised systems;
- credentials, tokens, keys, or personal data obtained without authorization, or the staging or exfiltration of stolen data;
- child sexual abuse material, content that sexualizes minors, or material that promotes terrorism or violent extremism;
- fraud, phishing, impersonation, market manipulation, or deceptive schemes;
- material that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights;
- harassment, threats, doxxing, or the non-consensual distribution of intimate images;
- unlawful gambling, unlicensed financial or securities activity, or the sale of controlled substances, weapons, or other restricted goods; or
- protected health information, payment-card data, or data regulated by HIPAA, GLBA, FERPA, PCI DSS, or a similar sector-specific regime.
2. Prohibited technical conduct
- Circumventing, or attempting to circumvent, rate limits, quotas, payment gating, evaluation-key limits, or abuse controls, including by rotating IP addresses, keys, or wallets.
- Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of the Service without our prior written permission, other than a good-faith report under our Security page.
- Denial-of-service activity, or automated retry loops that impose disproportionate load. Automated clients must honor error responses and back off; they must not retry a failed request in a tight loop.
- Using the Service as permanent storage, backup, a content delivery network, messaging infrastructure, or key management, none of which it is.
- Reselling or redistributing access to the Service without our prior written consent.
3. Reporting and enforcement
Report suspected abuse to abuse@slidingbox.ai. Include the pointer prefix, timestamp, and any evidence you can share, and do not send encryption keys, payment credentials, or unlawful content itself.
We review reports promptly and may, without notice, rate-limit, block, suspend, or terminate access, invalidate evaluation keys, decline or return payments, and preserve or disclose records where the law requires. We may act on a reasonable belief of breach; we do not need to prove it first. Because stored items are deleted on retrieval or expiry, a specific item is usually gone before a report reaches us, and enforcement is typically directed at the key, wallet, or network source rather than the content.
See our Law Enforcement and Abuse Policy for what we are able to produce in response to legal process.
