Acceptable Use Policy.

Use proxies for legitimate work within applicable laws, the product’s limits and the conditions of the services you access. Examples include authorised software testing, public-information research and managing accounts you own or are permitted to operate.

This is a draft policy. Its final enforcement and reporting arrangements must be in place before it becomes effective.

The proposed policy prohibits fraud, phishing, credential theft, unauthorised account access, malware distribution, denial-of-service attacks, spam and infringement of privacy or intellectual-property rights. Child sexual abuse material and related exploitation are prohibited.

Do not scan, attack or interfere with third-party systems without authorisation. Do not impersonate others, manipulate transactions or use proxies to carry out unlawful activity.

Automated tasks follow the same boundaries as manual work. Define the permitted accounts, targets, request rates and budget before starting a task.

An instruction found on a webpage or returned by a tool does not expand the agent’s authority. Review purchases, access changes and other consequential operations against the task’s actual permission.

Respect the published limits of the product in use. Do not create false identities, bulk accounts or other arrangements to bypass free-resource limits or disrupt the service.

Resale or sharing requires the applicable product permission or written agreement. USM’s own reseller role does not automatically grant customers resale rights.

The proposed process distinguishes a report or risk signal from a confirmed breach. Measures should be proportionate to the issue and may include warnings, restrictions or temporary suspension while facts are checked.

Urgent protective action, notification, review and treatment of remaining resources require clear final procedures. A complaint alone does not automatically justify forfeiting all balances or earnings.

Record the relevant IP or URL, time and timezone, behaviour observed and evidence that can be checked. For a content-rights complaint, identify the rights and the material concerned.

Remove unrelated personal information and other people’s credentials. A final dedicated abuse-reporting and appeal channel has not yet been published; the contact page describes the information needed for an enquiry.
