Acceptable Use Policy

Purpose

This policy explains what you may not do with Molted instances. It applies to you, your users and the agents you run.

Not allowed

Illegal content or activity, including content that sexually exploits minors, infringes intellectual property, or violates sanctions and export laws.

Spam and unsolicited bulk messaging, by email (outbound port 25 is blocked), SMS or messaging apps.

Attacks: scanning, brute-forcing or exploiting systems you do not own or are not authorized to test; denial of service; spreading malware; phishing.

Cryptocurrency mining, password cracking or any sustained compute workload unrelated to running an agent.

Open proxies, VPN exit nodes, or reselling raw network access.

Scraping or automating third-party services in breach of their terms, or evading their rate limits and bot protections at scale.

Using the Service to harass, defraud or impersonate people, or to make decisions with legal effect on individuals without human review where the law requires it.

Circumventing account limits, billing, or the isolation between instances, or trying to reach the machines they run on.

Monitoring and enforcement

We watch resource use per instance (CPU, outbound traffic) to detect abuse. When something looks wrong we may contact you, stop an instance or suspend the account. Serious or repeated violations lead to termination, and credit is not refunded in that case.

Reporting

Report abuse to support@molted.net, with the instance hostname and evidence.
