## Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to all use of Repost, including accounts, organizations, webhook sources, destinations, payloads, replay, fan-out, API usage, and support channels.

This policy applies whether you use Repost directly or indirectly, whether the prohibited activity is carried out by you, your customers, your Authorized Users, your source systems, your destinations, or anyone using access that you provide or fail to secure.

## Prohibited content

You must not use Repost to send, store, replay, or facilitate illegal content, child sexual abuse material, child exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, malware, phishing, credential theft, spam, intellectual-property-infringing content, counterfeit goods, unlawful surveillance, doxxing, extortion, blackmail, harassment campaigns, terrorist or violent extremist activity, unlawful violence, or content that violates third-party rights.

## Prohibited businesses and high-risk categories

You must not use Repost for any illegal activity. To the extent a category below may be lawful in some jurisdictions but presents elevated legal, payment, abuse, safety, brand, or operational risk, you must not use Repost for that category unless Repost expressly agrees in a signed written agreement. These examples are representative, not exhaustive.

- Pornography, sexually explicit content, adult entertainment, adult live chat, sexual services, escort services, prostitution, fetish services, strip clubs, adult video stores, sex trafficking, or businesses primarily involving adult-only sexual goods or services.
- Illegal drugs, controlled substances, cannabis, marijuana, cannabinoid products, synthetic drugs, substances designed to mimic illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, cultivation or manufacturing equipment marketed for drug production, or instructions for producing or evading controls on controlled substances.
- Unlicensed or unlawfully marketed pharmaceuticals, prescription-only products, medical devices, telemedicine, online pharmacies, pseudo-pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, or health products that make unsafe, deceptive, or unsubstantiated claims.
- Gambling, betting, casinos, lotteries, sweepstakes, fantasy sports or games with monetary or material prizes, odds-making, gambling advice, bidding-fee auctions, or any similar activity requiring gambling authorization.
- Weapons, firearms, firearm parts, ammunition, explosives, dangerous materials, toxic materials, radioactive materials, or goods or services designed to cause physical harm or evade weapons controls.
- Unlicensed or high-risk financial activities, including money transmission, securities, investment advice, lending, debt collection, credit repair, shell banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, custody, staking, mining, initial coin offerings, token sales, or similar regulated financial products.
- Sanctions exposure, export-control violations, dealings with restricted persons or jurisdictions, terrorism financing, money laundering, bribery, corruption, tax evasion, or evasion of regulatory controls.
- Hate, violence, extremist organizing, harassment-for-hire, coordinated abuse, doxxing services, surveillance-for-hire, spyware, stalkerware, or services intended to intimidate, exploit, or harm people or protected groups.
- Deceptive, abusive, or predatory schemes, including pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing schemes, get-rich-quick schemes, fake testimonials, fake reviews, fake identity documents, document falsification, counterfeit goods, unlawful resale, suspicious remote technical support, or services designed to mislead consumers, regulators, payment providers, or platforms.
- Sale or facilitation of regulated goods or services without all required licenses, permits, notices, controls, and approvals, including alcohol, tobacco, nicotine products, vaping products, government services, legal services, insurance, travel, high-value goods, precious metals, or any other category that Repost reasonably determines presents elevated legal, payment, abuse, safety, or operational risk.

If your use may fall into a high-risk category, you must obtain Repost's prior written approval before using Repost for that use. Repost may refuse, condition, suspend, or revoke approval at any time where needed to address legal, payment, abuse, security, brand, safety, or operational risk. Nothing in this section permits activity that is illegal in any jurisdiction relevant to Repost, the customer, the source system, the destination, the payload, or the affected person.

## Prohibited conduct

You must not use Repost to attack, flood, overload, scan, or disrupt any source, destination, network, or third-party system. This includes using replay, retries, fan-out, or high-volume forwarding as a denial-of-service mechanism.

You must not bypass quotas, rate limits, authentication, authorization, billing controls, security controls, or retention limits.

You must not hide, disguise, misclassify, or route prohibited content, prohibited businesses, or high-risk categories through Repost, or use another account, organization, source, destination, integration, proxy, customer, or third party to do so.

You must not resell Repost in a way that misrepresents your relationship with LSC EUROPA Ltd. or removes required legal protections.

## High-risk use

Repost is not designed for safety-critical, medical or clinical, financial trading or settlement, emergency, life-support, regulated critical-infrastructure, sole backup, or sole system-of-record use. You must not rely on Repost as the only control in those environments.

## Sources and destinations

You are responsible for webhook sources, destinations, credentials, endpoint security, destination capacity, and the lawfulness of payload data. Repost may suspend traffic that creates security, abuse, legal, or operational risk.

## DSA notice-and-action

If Repost is classified as a hosting service under the Digital Services Act, Repost will maintain single points of contact and an electronic notice-and-action channel for alleged illegal content stored at the request of recipients of the service.

Notices should be sent to legal@repost.sh unless a dedicated form is published. Notices should identify the content, explain why it is alleged to be illegal, provide the notifier's contact details, and include a good-faith statement.

Where Repost acts on a notice or enforces this policy against stored information, Repost will provide a statement of reasons where required. If Repost becomes aware of information giving rise to suspicion of a criminal offence involving a threat to life or safety, Repost will report to competent law enforcement or judicial authorities where Article 18 requires it.

If Repost is separately classified as an online platform, additional Digital Services Act duties will be assessed separately. Article 19 online-platform exclusions are not used to avoid baseline hosting duties.

## Enforcement

Repost may remove, disable, preserve, report, suspend, throttle, or terminate content, traffic, accounts, organizations, or destinations where needed to address violations, security risks, legal risks, or operational harm.
