This Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”) sets out what you may and may not do on the AliasQR marketing website at aliasqr.com (the “Site”) and through the AliasQR waitlist (the “Waitlist”). It is part of, and incorporated into, the Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms of Service.
1. Who this AUP applies to
This AUP applies to every Visitor who accesses the Site or interacts with the Waitlist, regardless of whether you have submitted to the Waitlist. By using the Site or Waitlist, you agree to comply with this AUP at all times.
2. Prohibited use of the Site and Waitlist
2.1 Automated access and abuse
You will not, and will not attempt to:
- access the Site or the Waitlist using bots, crawlers, scrapers, headless browsers, or other automated means, except for well-behaved search-engine indexing that respects our
robots.txt; - submit, simulate, replay, or generate Waitlist requests at a rate or volume that materially exceeds ordinary human use, or otherwise circumvent the Site’s rate limits, abuse controls, honeypots, or verification mechanisms;
- use email aliases, disposable addresses, or address-generation tooling to inflate Waitlist signups, manipulate analytics, or game any future referral, queue position, or beta perk;
- resell, repackage, or redistribute access to the Site, Waitlist, or any AliasQR API endpoint; or
- conduct denial-of-service, load-testing, stress-testing, or capacity-probing activity against any AliasQR system without our prior written consent.
2.2 Security probing
You will not probe, scan, fuzz, or test the vulnerability of any AliasQR system, network, or endpoint, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, except under the responsible-disclosure pathway described in Section 6 of this AUP. Violations of this Section 2.2 may also violate the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030), Article 5 of the EU NIS2 Directive, and equivalent laws elsewhere.
2.3 Reverse engineering and content extraction
You will not:
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code or operation of any non-public AliasQR system;
- reproduce, mirror, frame, or scrape Content for use in any product, service, dataset, or training corpus — including any machine-learning or generative-AI training corpus — without our prior written permission; or
- remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, attribution, or other proprietary notice on Content.
2.4 Misuse of the Waitlist
You will not:
- submit a Waitlist entry using someone else’s email address, an address you do not control, or an address you are not authorized to use;
- impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, when interacting with the Site or Waitlist;
- use the Waitlist to send unsolicited commercial communications, recruiting messages, or any other content not directly responsive to a message we sent you; or
- attempt to extract, enumerate, or infer the contents of the Waitlist (including its size, growth rate, or the identity of other subscribers).
2.5 Unlawful and harmful conduct
You will not use the Site or Waitlist:
- in any way that violates applicable law, including export-control, sanctions, anti-spam, anti-money-laundering, intellectual-property, child-protection, or non-consensual-imagery laws;
- to threaten, harass, stalk, defame, or doxx any person;
- to upload, transmit, or link to malware, ransomware, spyware, surveillance tooling, or other harmful code;
- to interfere with another Visitor’s use of the Site, including by injecting markup or scripts via referer headers or otherwise; or
- in any way that materially and adversely affects AliasQR’s systems, brand, or relationships with our service providers.
3. Forward-looking restriction (relay and product use)
Some of the conduct prohibited above will also apply — with substantially greater detail — to any AliasQR product, relay, or dashboard at general availability. In particular, when the AliasQR relay launches you will not be permitted to use it to send threats, harassment, fraud, scams, romance scams, sextortion, child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, terrorism-related content, mass spam, automated commercial messaging, or any communication that violates applicable law. The launch agreement will set out the binding rules; this notice is provided so that you understand the direction of travel.
4. Reporting a violation
If you believe another Visitor is violating this AUP — for example, scraping the Site, abusing the Waitlist, or attempting to attack our systems — report it to abuse@aliasqr.com. Include enough detail (URLs, timestamps, IP addresses if you have them, the conduct observed) for us to investigate. We may, but are not obligated to, follow up with you.
5. Enforcement
If we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that you have violated this AUP, we may take any action permitted by the Terms of Service or applicable law, including:
- issuing a warning;
- imposing or tightening rate limits on your network address;
- removing your Waitlist entry;
- blocking your IP address, device, or browser fingerprint from accessing the Site;
- refusing to make AliasQR products available to you at general availability; and
- cooperating with law enforcement, providing information in response to lawful demands, and pursuing civil or criminal remedies.
We may take any of these actions without prior notice. We do not commit to any appeals process during the beta. Severity is at our reasonable discretion, and conduct that materially threatens the integrity, security, or availability of the Site or any AliasQR system — or that violates applicable law — will generally be treated as severe.
6. Responsible security disclosure
We welcome good-faith reports of security vulnerabilities. If you believe you have found a vulnerability in the Site, the Waitlist API, or any other AliasQR-operated system, send a report to security@aliasqr.com.
To qualify as a good-faith report under this AUP, your testing must:
- be limited to what is reasonably necessary to identify and demonstrate the vulnerability;
- avoid disrupting the Site for other Visitors (for example, no denial-of-service, no large-scale automated scanning);
- avoid accessing, modifying, exfiltrating, or destroying data that does not belong to you, beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate the issue (and you must delete any such data immediately after demonstration);
- not exploit the vulnerability beyond demonstration, and not use it for personal gain or to harm any person;
- give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate before publicly disclosing — ordinarily at least ninety (90) days; and
- otherwise comply with applicable law.
So long as you act in good faith and within these limits, AliasQR will not pursue legal action under the Terms of Service or this AUP for the activity necessary to make the report. This is not a paid bug-bounty program, and AliasQR makes no commitment to pay any reward; we will, however, acknowledge the report and may publicly credit you with your permission.
7. Changes
We may update this AUP from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Effective” date at the top of this page and, where we have your email address, notify you by email at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Site or Waitlist after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated AUP.
