Effective date: [DATE]

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to use of the apvanta platform and related services. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings in the Terms of Service.

1. General rule

You may not use the Service for unlawful, harmful, abusive, deceptive, infringing, exploitative, or security-compromising activity. We may remove content, disable access, interrupt streams, suspend accounts, or terminate access if we reasonably believe activity violates this AUP.

2. Prohibited content and activity

You may not stream, upload, host, promote, facilitate, or distribute content or activity that:

violates any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right;
infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, trade secret, or other rights;
includes non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse material, or content involving minors in a sexual or exploitative context;
promotes terrorism, violent extremism, credible threats, targeted harassment, or incitement to violence;
contains hateful conduct or dehumanizing abuse targeting protected classes;
enables fraud, phishing, scams, pyramid schemes, impersonation, or deceptive fundraising;
distributes malware, spyware, botnets, credential theft tools, or instructions for unauthorized access;
exposes private personal information without permission;
unlawfully records or surveils people;
promotes self-harm, eating disorders, or dangerous conduct in a way that creates real-world risk;

violates payment processor, app marketplace, cloud provider, or network rules that apply to the Service;
attempts to evade moderation, suspension, access controls, billing controls, or technical limits.

3. Live event restrictions

Live events can cause immediate harm. We may interrupt or disable a live stream without advance notice if we reasonably believe the event creates legal, safety, security, copyright, privacy, payment, infrastructure, or reputational risk.

Customers are responsible for event moderation, speaker management, audience controls, and attendee behavior. Private or gated events with chat, Q&A, polls, identity, rooms, or similar interactive features must be moderated in a way appropriate to the event size, audience, and risk profile.

Public events must remain anonymous for viewers and must not use interactive features that collect or display viewer identity or participation.

4. Copyright and media rights

You may not stream, upload, record, replay, or host music, video, sports content, performances, films, television, clips, presentations, images, or other copyrighted material unless you have the necessary rights or a valid legal exception.

You are responsible for all speaker releases, venue permissions, music licenses, synchronization rights, public performance rights, recording consents, publicity rights, and distribution rights required for your events and recordings.

5. Security and platform abuse

You may not:

bypass or attack authentication, stream keys, signed URLs, paywalls, registration gates, geographic controls, or access controls;
scan, probe, overload, disrupt, scrape, crawl, or reverse engineer the Service without written authorization;
interfere with other customers, events, streams, viewers, recordings, or infrastructure;
use automated systems to create accounts, register attendees, inflate views, harvest data, or abuse free trials or promotions;
resell, sublicense, or provide the Service as a competing platform unless expressly permitted in writing;
conceal the origin of traffic or content in a misleading or abusive way.

6. Enforcement

We may consider severity, intent, prior behavior, event timing, harm, legal risk, and operational impact when enforcing this AUP. Enforcement may include warnings, content removal, stream interruption, feature restrictions, account suspension, account termination, preservation of evidence, notices to affected users, payment processor reporting, law enforcement referrals, or other appropriate action.

We may update this AUP as risks, laws, and platform capabilities change.

7. Reports

Report abuse, illegal content, or security concerns to [ABUSE EMAIL].
