Zero-Tolerance Compliance Policy

Acceptable Use Policy

Effective Date: April 28, 2026

Last updated: April 28, 2026

Mandatory compliance terms

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to all access to Defapi, including API requests, uploaded inputs, generated outputs, account activity, and payment activity. By using the Service, you agree that we may apply risk-based compliance review and enforcement measures, including automated signals, abuse reports, payment risk indicators, provider notices, API key suspension, account termination, balance deduction, and denial of refunds where permitted by law.

This policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service.

Strictly Prohibited Content

Defapi maintains a zero-tolerance policy for content categories that present severe safety, legal, or payment network risk.

  • Non-consensual intimate content, including deepfake adult content, sexual images, or NSFW material involving a real person without that person's clear consent.
  • Any content involving minors in sexual, exploitative, suggestive, abusive, or otherwise illegal contexts, including attempts to create, transform, request, or distribute such content.
  • Terrorist propaganda, graphic mutilation, extreme violence, instructions for violent harm, or content that celebrates severe physical abuse.
  • Hateful, dehumanizing, or discriminatory content targeting protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.

Identity, Public Figure, and Rights Restrictions

Users must not use Defapi to mislead others, violate publicity rights, or create materials that enable identity fraud.

  • Misleading or defamatory depictions of politicians, public officials, celebrities, or public figures, including election-related manipulation or false endorsement.
  • Impersonation of any person, organization, brand, government body, or payment entity in a way that could mislead, defraud, or harm others.
  • Generation or alteration of passports, IDs, licenses, seals, invoices, financial records, payment screenshots, or other materials that may enable fraud.

AI Abuse, Security Evasion, and Intellectual Property

Users may not attempt to defeat safeguards, abuse model access, or use outputs in ways that violate intellectual property rights.

  • Attempts to bypass moderation, content filters, rate limits, security controls, abuse detection, or payment risk controls.
  • Prompt injection, jailbreaks, obfuscation, encoded instructions, chained prompts, or other techniques designed to evade safety policies.
  • Using the Service to infringe copyrights, trademarks, design rights, or other third-party rights, including unauthorized reproduction of protected styles or assets.
  • Unauthorized model extraction, large-scale scraping, output harvesting, dataset creation, or model distillation intended to replicate Defapi or third-party providers.

Risk-Based Compliance Review and Enforcement Rights

To protect users, payment channels, and third-party providers, Defapi applies a risk-based compliance approach to detect and respond to abuse.

  • We may review account activity, request metadata, payment activity, provider notices, abuse reports, and reported or suspicious content using automated signals and manual review where appropriate for safety, fraud, AML, KYC, and compliance purposes.
  • We may throttle requests, block specific prompts or outputs, revoke API keys, or restrict model access without prior notice.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts, close workspaces, preserve evidence, and report unlawful activity to payment processors, providers, or competent authorities.
  • Accounts restricted for fraud, abuse, chargeback misuse, or violations of this policy may be ineligible for refunds of unused credits or remaining balances where permitted by law.

Payment, AML, and KYC Compliance

Payment activity must be lawful, transparent, and consistent with payment network and processor requirements.

  • We may request additional verification for high-risk, high-volume, unusual, or disputed payment activity, including AML and KYC checks.
  • Fraudulent payments, unauthorized card use, chargeback abuse, refund abuse, or attempts to conceal the source of funds are prohibited.
  • Users may not resell credits, launder funds, split transactions to avoid review, or use the Service in jurisdictions or sectors prohibited by law or our payment partners.

User Responsibility and Indemnification

Users are responsible for how they use Defapi and for the downstream use of generated content.

  • You are solely responsible for your inputs, API calls, generated outputs, publication, distribution, and any consequences of using the Service.
  • If your violation causes Defapi to face claims, fines, penalties, chargebacks, processor fees, investigations, or litigation, you agree to indemnify and hold Defapi harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  • You must also comply with applicable third-party AI provider policies, payment processor rules, card network rules, and laws in the jurisdictions where you operate.
