Acceptable Use Policy — Figmentic|Words

1) Purpose & Scope

We want Figmentic|Words to remain a safe, reliable, and reverent space for daily Scripture engagement. This AUP exists to protect our users, our community, our service providers, and the integrity of the Service. It applies to everyone who accesses the Service in any way, including signed-out visitors, registered account holders, and anyone who interacts with our content, application programming interfaces, AI features, shared "Words," or supporting infrastructure.

This AUP supplements, and does not replace, our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and any posted Community Guidelines. If there is a conflict between this AUP and the Terms of Use regarding acceptable conduct, the more restrictive provision controls. We may update this AUP from time to time; material changes will be communicated as described in our Terms of Use, and your continued use after the effective date signifies acceptance.

2) Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to, and will not assist or permit any third party to:

• Illegal use: use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable local, state, national, or international law, regulation, sanction, or export control.
• Violate others' rights: infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights of any person or entity, including copyright in Bible translations or other source materials.
• Harassment & abuse: harass, threaten, bully, stalk, defame, or intimidate any person, or incite or encourage others to do so.

4) AI-Specific Misuse

Figmentic|Words uses AI models (including Google Vertex AI / Gemini) to generate summaries, themes, and reflections. In addition to the general rules above, you agree not to:

5) Sharing & User-Generated Content Misuse

Signed-in users may choose to share "Words" and related reflections publicly. Publicly shared content is user-generated content, and you are solely responsible for what you share. When using sharing features, you must not:

• publish content that violates Section 3 (Prohibited Content) or Section 2 (Prohibited Conduct);
• share content that misrepresents its source, authorship, or AI-assisted origin in a deceptive way;
• use sharing features to distribute spam, advertising, malware, phishing links, or unsolicited solicitations; or
• share another person's private information or content without authorization.

Public sharing is also governed by our Community Guidelines, where applicable. We may review, moderate, refuse to publish, or remove shared content that we believe violates this AUP or those guidelines, at our discretion and without obligation to monitor.

6) Security & Integrity

You must respect the security and integrity of the Service and the systems and networks we rely on. You agree not to:

• gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, server, database, API, or network, or to data not intended for you;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach or circumvent any authentication or security measure, except as expressly authorized under our vulnerability disclosure process below;
• interfere with the proper functioning of the Service, including by overloading, flooding, or spamming infrastructure; or
• forge headers, manipulate identifiers, or otherwise disguise the origin of any traffic or content.

7) Rate Limits & Fair Use

The Service is currently offered free of charge and is subject to fair-use expectations so that resources remain available to everyone. We may impose and enforce rate limits, request quotas, generation caps, or other usage controls, and we may adjust them at any time without notice. You agree to:

• use the Service in a manner consistent with normal, individual, human use;
• not engage in automated, scripted, or high-volume access that places an unreasonable load on our systems or those of our service providers;
• not aggregate, resell, or redistribute access to the Service or its outputs except as expressly permitted; and
• respect the rate limits of upstream providers (for example, Bible-text APIs and AI providers) that we rely on to deliver the Service.

If paid tiers are introduced in the future, additional or different usage allowances may apply and will be described in the applicable subscription terms.

8) Enforcement & Consequences

We may investigate suspected violations of this AUP and take any action we consider appropriate, in our sole discretion, with or without notice. Depending on the nature and severity of the violation, consequences may include one or more of the following:

Our enforcement decisions are made at our discretion, and we are not obligated to apply remedies in any particular order. Nothing in this AUP limits any other rights or remedies available to us under the Terms of Use or applicable law. Sections of the Terms of Use intended to survive termination continue to apply.
