1 · Never allowed
- Illegal content — CSAM (zero tolerance, reported to the relevant authorities), content you have no right to process, material illegal where we or the facility operate.
- Attacks — DoS/DDoS in any direction, unauthorised access attempts, credential stuffing, malware command-and-control, exploit hosting aimed at third parties.
- Abuse infrastructure — spam origination, phishing sites, carding, botnet nodes, proxies/VPN exits operated to launder abusive traffic.
- Cryptocurrency mining — including "just overnight". Mining monetises interruptible capacity into uselessness for everyone; it is excluded platform-wide regardless of coin or intent.
- Sanctions evasion — use by or for sanctioned parties and destinations.
2 · Explicitly fine
Because "AI policy" pages often blur it: training and serving models (including open-weights LLMs and image/video models), scraping you are lawfully entitled to do, security research against your own resources, penetration-testing targets you own or have written authorisation for, Tor/VPN clients for your own egress privacy, and blockchain nodes (validation is not mining). When in doubt, ask first via a ticket — a written yes beats guessing.
3 · Platform health rules
- No deliberate interference with metering, isolation or capacity scheduling (e.g. anti-interruption tricks on interruptible instances).
- Outbound network abuse controls apply (port-scan storms, mail floods); genuine research traffic that trips them is unblocked with one ticket.
- Resale of capacity is fine (agencies, render farms, notebooks-as-a-service) as long as your end users stay within this AUP — you answer for them.
4 · How enforcement works
- Active harm (attacks in progress, CSAM) — immediate suspension of the offending resources, then notice.
- Everything else — notice first with 48 h to respond; most cases are misunderstandings and end there.
- Repeated or bad-faith violations end the account; remaining legitimate credits are refunded per the terms, unless the law forbids it.
- Reports of abuse hosted here: open a ticket titled Abuse (any account, free to create) with URLs/indicators — first response within 24 h.
