Acceptable Use

Vector GFX, Inc.

Acceptable Use Policy

Effective starting: October 2025

Here at Vector GFX Inc., our goal is to help you and your team do the best work of your lives, every day. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without disruption. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.
To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse”—and help us identify such transgressions and react accordingly—we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to remove content from our platform that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.
You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all websites owned or operated by Vector GFX, Inc. and any related websites, sub-domains and pages, as well as any cloud services operated by Vector GFX, Inc.

Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great things. You can find all the legal fine print at the bottom of this page.

Here’s what we won’t allow:

Disruption

Compromising the integrity of our systems. This could include probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network that hosts our services. This
        prohibition does not apply to security assessments expressly permitted by Vector GFX Inc.
Tampering with, reverse-engineering, or hacking our services, circumventing any security or authentication measures, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the 
         services, related systems, networks, or data.
Modifying, disabling, or compromising the integrity or performance of the services or related systems, network or data.
Deciphering any transmissions to or from the servers running the services.
Deliberately overwhelming or attempting to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on our systems that consume extraordinary resources

(CPUs, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), such as:

o Using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same
        period by using a normal browser.
o Going far beyond the use parameters for any given service as described in its corresponding documentation.
       
Wrongful Activities
Misrepresentation of yourself or disguising the origin of any content (including by “spoofing”, “phishing”, manipulating headers or other identifiers, impersonating
        anyone else, or falsely implying any sponsorship or association with Vector GFX Inc. or any third party).

In this Acceptable Use Policy, the term “content” means: (1) any information, data, text, software, code, scripts, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or other materials that you post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the services and (2) any other materials, content, or data you provide to Vector GFX Inc. or use with the Services.

Without affecting any other remedies available to us, Vector GFX Inc. may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend a user’s account or access to the services without notice or liability if Vector GFX Inc. (in its sole discretion) determines that a user has violated this Acceptable Use Policy.

Using the services to violate the privacy of others, including publishing or posting other people's private and confidential information without their express permission, or
        collecting or gathering other people’s personal information (including account names or information) from our services.
Using our services to stalk, harass, or post direct, specific threats of violence against others.
Using the Services for any illegal purpose, or in violation of any laws (including without limitation data, privacy, and export control laws).
Accessing or searching any part of the services by any means other than our publicly supported interfaces (for example, “scraping”).
Using meta tags or any other “hidden text” including Vector GFX Inc.’s or our suppliers’ product names or trademarks.
Using the Services for the purpose of providing alerts on disaster scenarios or any other situations directly related to health or safety, including but not limited to acts of
        terrorism, natural disasters, or emergency response.
 
Inappropriate Communications

Using the services to generate or send unsolicited communications, advertising, chain letters, or spam.
Soliciting our users for commercial purposes, unless expressly permitted by Vector GFX Inc.
Disparaging Vector GFX Inc. or our partners, vendors, or affiliates.
Promoting or advertising products or services other than your own without appropriate authorization.

Inappropriate Content

Posting, uploading, sharing, submitting, or otherwise providing content that:

Infringes Vector GFX Inc.’s or a third party’s intellectual property or other rights, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral rights, privacy rights of
        publicity, or any other intellectual property right or proprietary or contractual right that you don’t have the right to submit.
Is deceptive, fraudulent, illegal, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harmful to minors, pornographic (including child pornography, which we will remove and
        report to law enforcement, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children), indecent, harassing, hateful.
Encourages illegal or tortious conduct or that is otherwise inappropriate.
