The short version
Don’t use Ask Tone to break the law, harm people, abuse the service, or get around its safety measures. We use automated moderation and may refuse, remove, or restrict activity that breaches this policy.
Prohibited uses
You must not use Ask Tone, or any output from it, to do or attempt any of the following:
Illegal activity
Anything that violates applicable law, or that promotes, facilitates, or instructs others in illegal activity.
Harm to others
Harass, threaten, bully, defame, or incite violence or hatred against people, or generate content intended to do so.
Child safety
We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material or any content that sexualises, exploits, or endangers minors. We will act on it and report it to the relevant authorities.
Malicious code and security violations
Create or distribute malware or exploits; attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems, accounts, or data; probe, scan, or test the security of the Service without our permission; or interfere with the Service’s normal operation.
Dangerous and high-risk content
Develop or obtain instructions for weapons, including chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, or use outputs to make decisions in inherently dangerous contexts where an error could cause serious physical harm.
Privacy and surveillance
Violate others’ privacy, including unlawfully collecting, exposing, or processing personal data, or using the Service for unlawful surveillance or tracking.
Fraud, spam, and deception
Engage in fraud, scams, phishing, or spam; impersonate any person or organisation; or generate content designed to deceive, including disinformation presented as fact.
Infringing intellectual property
Infringe the intellectual property or other rights of others.
Abusing the service
Circumvent usage limits, rate limits, or technical safeguards; scrape or bulk-extract from the Service; resell or redistribute access without authorisation; share credentials; or use automation to abuse the Service.
Competing models and safeguards
Use outputs to train, fine-tune, or build a competing AI model where prohibited by us or by the underlying model providers, or attempt to bypass the safety systems of the Service or the models it uses.
Professional advice
Present outputs as professional advice (such as legal, medical, or financial advice) to others without appropriate qualification, review, and disclaimers.
Content moderation
To keep the Service safe and to comply with our obligations and those of the AI providers, we apply automated safety and moderation checks to activity on the Service. As a result, the Service may refuse a request, decline to return certain content, or restrict an account. These measures are not perfect, and the underlying models may also independently refuse to respond to some requests.
Reporting abuse
If you encounter misuse of the Service, or content that breaches this policy, please report it to support@asktone.ai. To report a security vulnerability, see our Security page.
Consequences
If you breach this policy, we may take action proportionate to the breach, including removing content, applying restrictions, suspending or terminating your account, and, where appropriate, notifying or cooperating with law enforcement. Serious breaches may result in immediate termination without refund.
Changes
We may update this policy as the Service and the law evolve. We will change the “last updated” date above, and continued use of the Service means you accept the updated policy.
