Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated November 3, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") describes activities that are prohibited when using AI Franchises. It is designed to protect owners, their customers, and the public, and it forms part of our Terms of Service. We may update this AUP as new risks emerge.

1. 1. Lawful Use

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes. You must not use the Service to offer illegal products or services, facilitate fraud, launder money, evade sanctions, or violate any applicable law or regulation, including consumer protection, advertising, privacy, and anti-spam laws.

2. 2. Honest Marketing and Claims

You must not use your franchise to make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims, including guaranteed income or earnings claims, deceptive health claims, fake reviews or testimonials, or bait-and-switch offers. Pricing, terms, and material conditions must be clearly disclosed to customers.

3. 3. Respectful Communications

You must not use the Service to send unsolicited bulk messages, harass or threaten anyone, impersonate any person or organization, or contact people who have opted out. Your communications must comply with applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

4. 4. Prohibited Content

You must not create, distribute, or promote content that is sexually exploitative of minors, promotes violence or terrorism, incites hatred against protected groups, infringes intellectual property rights, or discloses others' private information without authorization.

5. 5. Restricted Industries

Certain regulated activities, such as financial, legal, medical, and licensed professional services, may require appropriate licenses, disclosures, and human oversight. You are responsible for meeting those requirements. We may restrict or decline franchises in industries that present elevated legal or safety risk.

6. 6. Platform Integrity

You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other accounts, interfere with or disrupt the Service, probe or test vulnerabilities without authorization, circumvent usage limits or billing, reverse engineer the Service except as permitted by law, or use automated means to scrape the Service.

7. 7. Responsible AI

You must not configure your AI workforce to deceive people about its nature when sincerely asked, to make decisions with significant legal effects on individuals without appropriate human review, or to generate content intended to manipulate or exploit vulnerable people.

8. 8. Enforcement and Reporting

We may investigate suspected violations and take action, including removing content, pausing a franchise, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting unlawful activity to authorities. Where appropriate, we will notify you and provide an opportunity to remedy the issue.
