Acceptable Use Policy

Version: 1.0 (DRAFT) Effective date: May 15, 2026 Last updated: May 15, 2026

This policy applies to cloud.nself.org, task.nself.org, claw.nself.org, and any ɳSelf-managed hosted services (collectively, the “Service”). Self-hosted ɳSelf instances are your own responsibility.

Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Service to:

Illegal Content and Activity

  • Store, transmit, or distribute any content that violates applicable law
  • Store or distribute child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
  • Facilitate human trafficking, terrorism, or other criminal activity

Spam and Abuse

  • Send spam, unsolicited bulk messages, or phishing communications
  • Host phishing pages, malware, ransomware, or botnets
  • Harvest email addresses or personal data from other users

Infrastructure Abuse

  • Mine cryptocurrency on our infrastructure
  • Launch denial-of-service attacks against any target (including our own)
  • Conduct port scanning or vulnerability scanning of our infrastructure without written authorization
  • Attempt to access other users’ data, accounts, or infrastructure partitions

Licensing and IP

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from Pro plugins beyond what is permitted by applicable law (e.g., EU Software Directive interoperability exceptions)
  • Circumvent license validation, telemetry, or other technical protection measures
  • Resell access to the Service or redistribute Pro plugins without a reseller agreement
  • Share, publish, or transfer your license key to third parties

Regulated Health Data

NOT BAA-ready: ɳSelf v1.1.0 is NOT BAA-ready and must not be used to store ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information). Do not store PHI on any ɳSelf instance, self-hosted or cloud-hosted, until a BAA is available. A HIPAA-compliant offering is planned for a future release.

  • Store ePHI or any information that would require a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) under HIPAA
  • Use the Service as a component of a HIPAA-covered healthcare system without a signed BAA

Export Controls

  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable export control or sanctions law
  • Access the Service from a jurisdiction subject to US sanctions (see Terms of Service Section 13)

Enforcement

Process

  1. Notice: We will attempt to contact you before taking action, except in cases requiring immediate response (CSAM, active attacks, legal obligation)
  2. Suspension: We may suspend your account while we investigate a potential violation
  3. Termination: Confirmed violations result in account termination with 30 days’ notice for non-urgent violations, or immediate termination for severe violations

Mandatory Reporting

  • CSAM: Reported to NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) immediately. Evidence preserved as required by 18 U.S.C. 2258A.
  • Illegal content: Reported to appropriate law enforcement authorities as required by applicable law.

Appeals

If you believe your account was suspended or terminated in error, email legal@nself.org within 30 days with your account details and explanation.

Reporting Abuse

Report abuse to abuse@nself.org. Include as much detail as possible: URLs, screenshots, timestamps, and a description of the violation.
