Acceptable use policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") forms part of the Terms of Service and applies to anyone using Unison. The goal is straightforward: keep the product useful for legitimate creators and businesses, and keep us in good standing with the social networks we publish to.

You agree not to

Publish prohibited content

• Content that is illegal where you are, where the network is operated, or where its audience is located.
• Sexual content involving minors, or content that sexualizes anyone under 18, in any form.
• Content that incites violence, harasses individuals, threatens groups on the basis of protected characteristics, or promotes terrorism.
• Content that infringes someone else's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
• Deceptive deepfakes or manipulated media presented as real without disclosure.

Manipulate platforms

• Operate undisclosed networks of accounts, "bot farms", or coordinated inauthentic accounts.
• Buy, sell, or exchange engagement (followers, likes, replies, views).
• Re-post identical content across many accounts at high velocity to evade spam detection.
• Bypass any rate limit, captcha, age gate, or content-moderation system of a connected network.
• Impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation.

Spam, scams, and fraud

• Send unsolicited bulk messages, including via DMs or replies routed through the inbox.
• Promote pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick schemes, fake giveaways, phishing pages, or wallet drainers.
• Distribute malware, exploit kits, or links to either.

Abuse the service itself

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source of the hosted product.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the system without prior written authorization (responsible-disclosure reports to hello@unison.ink are always welcome).
• Use the service in any way that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure or that of a connected network.
• Resell, sublicense, or expose Unison functionality to third parties as a standalone product.

Network-specific reminders

Each connected network has its own developer policy. By publishing to a network through Unison you agree to comply with that network's policy as well as this AUP. In particular:

• TikTok prohibits posts that violate its Community Guidelines.
• X prohibits platform-manipulation and spam under its Rules.
• Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Threads) prohibits Community Standards violations and requires compliance with the Platform Terms.
• LinkedIn prohibits Professional Community Policies violations.
• YouTube requires compliance with its Community Guidelines and the API Services Terms of Service.
• Pinterest prohibits Community Guidelines violations.
• Bluesky and Mastodon require compliance with the rules of the instance you connect.
• Telegram prohibits Terms violations, including those for bots.

If a network notifies us that your activity violates its policy, we may suspend the relevant connection or your Unison account.

Enforcement

When we detect or are notified of a likely violation we may, depending on severity:

1. Reach out for clarification.
2. Pause publishing on the affected channel.
3. Suspend the account.
4. Terminate the account and refuse future sign-ups associated with it.

We always have the right to remove content or restrict accounts when we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect users, the service, or the networks we publish to.

Reporting abuse

If you see Unison being used to violate this AUP report it to hello@unison.ink with as much detail as you can share (account, post URL, timestamps). We investigate every report and respond within 5 business days.
