Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: April 20, 2026

This policy is part of the Terms of Service. Violating it can result in suspension or termination. Questions or reports: abuse@protectyourvibes.ai.

1. Prohibited scans

You may not use PYV to scan:

  • Any site you do not own or lack written authorization to test
  • Government or military systems
  • Critical infrastructure — power, water, telecom, hospitals, transportation — unless you hold an explicit contract covering the engagement
  • Systems subject to HIPAA, PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP, or similar frameworks, without a signed engagement letter that covers testing

2. Prohibited actions

  • DoS or DDoS attempts via scan flooding or concurrency abuse
  • Attempts to bypass our rate limits or ownership gates
  • Automated account creation at scale
  • Reverse-engineering our scanner or detection logic
  • Reselling or sublicensing scan results as a standalone service
  • Using the Service to harass, dox, or enable harm to any person

3. Responsible disclosure

If you find a vulnerability in the PYV application itself, email security@protectyourvibes.ai. We credit researchers who follow coordinated disclosure and hold findings for 90 days before publication (or longer if the fix is non-trivial). See also our security.txt.

4. Reporting abuse

Saw someone using PYV against a target they don't own? Email abuse@protectyourvibes.ai with evidence (scan ID, domain, timestamp). We respond within two business days.

5. Enforcement

  • Depending on severity: warning, suspension, or termination of the account
  • We may report illegal activity to law enforcement, including preserving logs for legal process
  • We may share abuse signals with other infrastructure providers to coordinate defense against bad actors
  • Terminated accounts lose access to historical scan data. Export your data first via GET /api/me/export.

6. Rate limits

  • Anonymous — 5 scans per hour per IP
  • Free account — 20 scans per month
  • Pro — 500 scans per month
  • Team — 5,000 scans per month
  • Enterprise — custom, negotiated per contract

We may apply transient throttles to protect scan targets from incidental load, even within your quota. See the Terms of Engagement for tier definitions.
