Acceptable Use Policy

This AUP applies to all use of Avorio — the macOS, iOS, and Android apps, the website at avorio.ai, the AI features (card generation, explanations, chat), and any decks you share publicly or with other users.

Read this alongside our Terms of Service. Where the two overlap, the Terms govern; this AUP fills in specifics about prohibited content and behavior.

The categories below are not exhaustive. If you're unsure whether something is allowed, email contactdharsan@gmail.com before you do it.

a. Generate or distribute illegal content

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — we report to NCMEC and law enforcement immediately, no exceptions.
• Content that violates US, EU, or your local laws.
• Pirated copyrighted material — including pasting copyrighted textbooks or articles into the AI to “summarize” if you don't have rights to that source.

b. Harm or harass others

• Hate speech, harassment, doxing, or threats.
• Content sexualizing minors or non-consenting adults.
• Coordinated abuse, brigading, or pile-ons via shared decks.

c. Compromise the service

• Reverse-engineer the apps, decompile binaries, or extract API keys or proprietary code (UniFFI bindings, FSRS-5 implementation, etc.).
• Run automated scrapers against the API or the website.
• Attempt to bypass the token meter, rollover cap, or rate limits.
• Probe for vulnerabilities without prior written permission. Responsible disclosure is welcome — email contactdharsan@gmail.com.

d. Abuse AI features

• Jailbreak prompts designed to bypass the AI provider's safety policies.
• Prompts that request harmful content — weapons manufacturing, self-harm encouragement, generating malware, and the like.
• Routing third parties' queries through Avorio (i.e., reselling AI access).
• Generating spam, phishing content, or impersonation material.
• Using AI outputs in ways that violate academic integrity policies. Avorio is a study tool; using AI to write your homework for submission is between you and your school, but we don't endorse cheating.

Avorio routes AI requests to Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini) depending on your subscription tier. Those providers have their own usage policies, and violating theirs can cause your AI feature to be suspended even if you don't violate ours.

e. Misrepresent yourself or others

• Create accounts for someone other than yourself without their consent.
• Generate content that impersonates real people in misleading ways.

f. Resell or redistribute the service

• You may not share your Avorio account with multiple users.
• You may not resell your token quota, sell access via your account, or wrap our API for commercial purposes without a separate written agreement.

• Public and shared decks must follow this AUP and our Terms of Service.
• If you share a deck, you confirm you have the right to share its content — for example, you didn't copy and paste the contents of a copyrighted textbook.
• Reports of bad shared decks go to contactdharsan@gmail.com.

• We do not read your prompts or conversations by default. They go to the AI provider, which handles them per their policy.
• Automated abuse detection: in extreme cases — CSAM, terrorism content, coordinated platform abuse — we may flag and review traffic patterns. We do not perform routine human review of normal study prompts.
• The AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) run their own safety classifiers on prompts. Outputs they refuse to generate cannot be unlocked by us.

Email contactdharsan@gmail.com with:

• A description of the violation.
• The shared-deck ID or username, if applicable.
• Screenshots if you have them.

We respond within 48 hours for urgent issues and within 5 business days otherwise.

• First-time, minor: warning email plus content removal.
• Repeated or severe: account suspension or permanent termination.
• Illegal content: immediate termination plus reporting to law enforcement. CSAM is auto-reported to NCMEC under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.
• Refunds are not provided on accounts terminated for AUP violations.

We welcome responsible disclosure. Please email contactdharsan@gmail.com before publishing any findings. In return we commit to:

• Acknowledging your report within 72 hours.
• Not pursuing legal action against good-faith research that follows responsible disclosure norms.
• Crediting you on our security acknowledgements page if you'd like.

If you believe your account was suspended or terminated in error, email contactdharsan@gmail.com with your account email and a brief explanation. We respond within 5 business days.

We'll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when this policy changes. Material changes are notified via email and an in-app banner.
