1. Prohibited Activities

You may not use Apselog to:

Illegal or harmful content

  • Transmit, store, or display content that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  • Distribute malware, ransomware, spyware, or any other malicious code through your status pages, ingest API, or alert notifications.
  • Facilitate illegal activities, including unauthorized access to computer systems or networks.

Abuse of the Service

  • Alert spam. Configure alerts to send unsolicited notifications to third parties who have not consented to receive them.
  • Automated scraping. Use automated tools to scrape Apselog’s web application beyond what the documented /api/usage/ingest endpoint permits. Rate limits are enforced per API key; documented limits are published in our API reference.
  • Reverse engineering. Attempt to decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive source code from any part of the Service not made publicly available.
  • Circumventing access controls. Attempt to bypass authentication, authorization, rate limiting, or billing controls.
  • Resource abuse. Intentionally send excessive API traffic designed to degrade Service performance for other users.

Harassment and misuse of communications

  • Harass, threaten, or intimidate any individual or group through the Service.
  • Impersonate Apselog, its employees, or any other person or entity.

2. Your Responsibilities

  • Keep API keys secret. Your ingest API keys grant write access to your workspace. Do not commit them to public repositories or share them with unauthorized parties. If a key is compromised, rotate it immediately in the dashboard.
  • Do not share accounts. Each account is for a single individual or organization. Do not share login credentials. Team plans allow multiple seats — use them.
  • Report security vulnerabilities responsibly. If you discover a security issue in the Service, please report it to [email protected] before public disclosure. We commit to acknowledging reports within 48 hours and working toward a fix in good faith.
  • Comply with applicable law. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all laws applicable in your jurisdiction, including data protection, export control, and intellectual property law.

3. Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of this AUP. If we determine that a violation has occurred, we may — at our sole discretion and without prior notice — take any of the following actions:

  • Issue a warning.
  • Temporarily suspend access to all or part of the Service.
  • Permanently terminate your account.
  • Report activity to law enforcement where required by law or where we believe doing so is in the public interest.

Suspension or termination for AUP violations is governed by the Terms of Service. We do not provide refunds for accounts terminated due to AUP violations.

4. Reporting Violations

If you believe another user is violating this AUP — including sending unsolicited alert notifications or hosting harmful content on a public status page — please report it to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible (URLs, timestamps, screenshots). We will investigate all credible reports.

5. Changes to This AUP

We may update this AUP from time to time. Material changes will be communicated per our Terms of Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
