Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-24 Effective: 2026-05-24

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is part of the FlowLibs Terms of Service. It describes what you must not do on or with the FlowLibs service, the FlowLibs site, any patterns you obtain from us, or any outputs generated by our AI tools. Copyright complaints about content on the Service are handled under our DMCA & Copyright Policy. If a provision here conflicts with the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service control.

1. Don't abuse the Service

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the FlowLibs site or pattern catalog, or attempt to enumerate the pattern database programmatically outside of public APIs we expose.
• Circumvent rate limits, paywalls, or access controls, including sharing Pro or Team credentials, using multiple accounts to bypass free-tier AI quotas, or exploiting bugs to bypass limits you haven't paid for.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Interfere with the Service through denial-of-service attacks, traffic flooding, probing, or exploitation of security vulnerabilities. If you find a vulnerability, report it privately to hello@flowlibs.com — we appreciate responsible disclosure.
• Impersonate another person, account, or FlowLibs itself, including by spoofing email headers or registering confusingly similar domains.
• Train machine-learning models on FlowLibs content, patterns, or AI outputs without our prior written permission.

2. Don't redistribute the catalog or the AI

FlowLibs patterns are licensed to you for use in your own and your employer's automation work (see Terms §3). The AI Script Generator and AI Code Review are provided for interactive use by logged-in users. You agree not to:

• Republish the FlowLibs catalog — or a substantial portion of it — as your own pattern site, course, eBook, or paid product.
• Resell, sublicense, or rebrand access to the AI Script Generator or AI Code Review (including via a wrapper, proxy, or "as-a-service" offering).
• Remove or obscure attribution, license, or provenance comments embedded in patterns or AI outputs.
• Claim authorship of FlowLibs patterns.

Publishing your own automations that happen to use a FlowLibs pattern or AI-generated script as a building block is fine and expected — that's the point.

3. Don't use patterns, outputs, or the Service to harm others

You agree not to use the Service, any pattern, or any AI output to:

• Build automations that send spam, phishing, scams, or fraudulent messages.
• Scrape or harvest personal data in violation of the target site's terms, robots.txt, or applicable privacy law.
• Circumvent security measures, authentication, or licensing controls on systems you don't own or have explicit permission to access.
• Generate or distribute malware, ransomware, or credential-stealers.
• Infringe intellectual property or trade-secret rights.
• Harass, defame, threaten, or target individuals or groups.
• Violate applicable laws or sanctions.

4. Don't submit harmful content to the AI tools

When you submit inputs to the Script Generator, Code Review, or Pattern Customizer, you agree not to submit:

• Secrets, credentials, API keys, tokens, or production connection strings. (If you paste one in by accident, rotate it immediately — these may be processed by AI providers per our Privacy Policy.)
• Personal data about other people that you're not authorized to share.
• Content that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
• Prompts deliberately crafted to bypass the model provider's safety guardrails or to elicit harmful outputs.

5. Comments and user-generated content

FlowLibs lets signed-in users post comments on flow and pattern pages, and may add community pattern submissions and similar contribution features in the future. Anything you post, upload, or submit through these features is "User Content." This section governs all User Content.

You're responsible for what you post. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit, and that it does not violate this AUP, infringe anyone's intellectual-property or privacy rights, or break any law.

License you grant us. You keep ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you grant FlowLibs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for formatting), and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the Service. You can remove your comments at any time; cached or backup copies may persist for a reasonable period.

Don't post:

• Spam, advertising, or self-promotion unrelated to the pattern being discussed, or links to malicious or deceptive sites.
• Secrets, credentials, API keys, tokens, or connection strings — yours or anyone else's.
• Personal data about other people that you're not authorized to share.
• Content that is unlawful, infringing, obscene, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or threatening, or that targets individuals or groups.
• Malware, exploit code intended to harm, or instructions whose primary purpose is to cause harm.
• Off-topic, deliberately misleading, or impersonating content.

Moderation. We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may review, edit, refuse, hide, or remove any User Content, and suspend or terminate accounts, at our discretion — for example, when content violates this AUP or creates risk for FlowLibs or other users. We are not responsible for User Content posted by others; opinions in comments are those of their authors, not FlowLibs.

Copyright complaints. If you believe a comment or other User Content infringes your copyright, follow the notice procedure in our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

Community submissions (coming later). When community pattern submissions launch, they will be governed by this AUP together with any submission-specific terms we present at the time (for example, the license under which a submitted pattern is contributed).

6. Consequences

If we believe in good faith that you have violated this AUP, we may (in our discretion and depending on severity):

• Warn you and ask you to stop.
• Remove or hide the offending content.
• Rate-limit, suspend, or terminate your account.
• Refuse or reverse Pro/Team subscription without refund (subject to consumer-protection law).
• Report the activity to law enforcement or affected third parties.

We do not owe you notice before taking action against serious abuse (e.g., DoS, credential sharing, fraud, prompt-injection attacks).

7. Reporting abuse

If you see something that looks like a violation of this AUP — by another user, in the comments, or by the Service itself — email hello@flowlibs.com with details. We review reports and take action where warranted. For copyright-specific complaints, see the DMCA & Copyright Policy.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this AUP as the Service evolves. Material changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date, and active users will be notified by email or in-app notice.
