Acceptable Use Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of SafeReq's services, platform, website, and API (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to comply with this AUP and our Terms of Service. This AUP applies to all users, including individual account holders, organization members, and anyone accessing the Services through a customer's account.

SafeReq is an informational tool that identifies potential areas of concern in job requisitions against California employment law. It does not provide legal advice. This AUP is designed to protect the integrity, availability, and security of the Services for all users.

Violation of this AUP may result in warnings, temporary suspension, permanent termination of your account, removal of content, and/or legal action, at SafeReq's discretion based on the severity and nature of the violation.

• Using analysis results to intentionally craft job postings designed to circumvent employment laws

2.2 Reverse Engineering and Scraping

• Conducting denial-of-service attacks or generating artificially high traffic volumes intended to degrade service performance

2.4 Automated Abuse

• Using automated systems to submit analysis requests at a rate that exceeds the rate limits of your subscription tier
• Creating automated pipelines that submit job requisitions for analysis without meaningful human review of the results
• Using the Services as part of an automated workflow where the output is fed directly into another system without human oversight
• Submitting synthetic or generated documents solely to probe or map the detection capabilities of the analysis engine

• Allowing individuals outside your organization to use your account or your organization's seats
• Accessing or using another person's account without their explicit authorization and knowledge

• Creating accounts for fraudulent purposes or under false identities

2.6 Harmful Content

• Uploading documents containing viruses, malicious macros, or code designed to exploit vulnerabilities in our document processing systems
• Submitting intentionally malformed files designed to cause errors, crashes, or resource exhaustion in the analysis pipeline
• Uploading documents that contain personally identifiable information of job applicants or candidates beyond what appears in a standard job requisition
• Submitting content that is not a legitimate job requisition or employment-related document (e.g., submitting unrelated documents to consume analysis credits or test system behavior)
• Uploading excessively large files intended to overwhelm storage or processing capacity

3. Acceptable Uses

The Services are intended for the following legitimate business purposes:

• Submitting job requisitions, job descriptions, and employment-related documents for compliance analysis
• Reviewing automated analysis findings and flagged potential areas of concern
• Requesting and reviewing manual compliance specialist assessments (on applicable service tiers)
• Downloading and sharing analysis reports within your organization for internal review
• Managing job posting compliance workflows and tracking remediation within your organization
• Using analysis insights to inform internal discussions with your legal counsel or HR team

SafeReq's analysis results are informational only and should not be relied upon as legal advice. We recommend that you consult a licensed California employment attorney regarding any potential issues identified by the platform.

4. Rate Limits and Resource Usage

To maintain platform performance and availability for all users, SafeReq enforces rate limits and usage restrictions based on your subscription tier:

4.1 API and Analysis Rate Limits

• Anonymous users: Limited number of analyses per 24-hour period, with severity-level results only
• Free accounts: Limited total analysis history (10 maximum) with basic findings
• Paid accounts: Analysis limits are governed by purchased credits; each analysis consumes credits based on the plan tier
• API rate limiting applies across all tiers to prevent abuse (specific limits are communicated within your account dashboard)

4.2 Fair Use

You agree to use the Services in a manner consistent with normal business usage patterns. This means:

• Respecting the analysis quotas and rate limits associated with your subscription tier
• Not attempting to bypass or circumvent tier restrictions through technical means
• Adhering to file upload size limits as documented in your account settings
• Not reselling, sublicensing, or redistributing the Services or analysis outputs to third parties without written authorization from SafeReq

4.3 Excessive Usage

If your usage pattern significantly exceeds what is typical for your subscription tier or appears to be automated abuse, SafeReq may contact you to discuss your usage, temporarily throttle your requests, or require an upgrade to an appropriate tier. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before taking any limiting action, except where immediate action is required to protect platform stability.

5. Content Standards

All content submitted to SafeReq for analysis must meet the following standards:

• Content must be a legitimate job requisition, job description, or employment-related document intended for compliance analysis
• You must have the right and authority to submit the content for analysis (e.g., you are the hiring organization or an authorized representative)
• Content must not include personally identifiable information of job applicants or candidates beyond what normally appears in a job posting
• Content must not contain confidential information of third parties submitted without proper authorization
• Content must not be submitted solely to probe, reverse engineer, or map the capabilities of the analysis engine

You retain ownership of all content you submit. By submitting content, you grant SafeReq a limited license to process, analyze, and store the content solely for the purpose of providing the Services. SafeReq does not use submitted content to train machine learning models or for any purpose outside the scope of delivering the Services.

6. Enforcement and Account Suspension

6.1 Investigation

SafeReq reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this AUP. During an investigation, SafeReq may review usage logs, access patterns, and submitted content to determine whether a violation has occurred.

6.2 Enforcement Actions

Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, SafeReq may take one or more of the following actions:

• Warning: A written notice describing the violation and requesting corrective action
• Temporary suspension: Temporary restriction of access to the Services while the violation is investigated or remediated
• Content removal: Removal of content that violates this AUP

• Permanent termination: Termination of the account and all access to the Services, without refund of any prepaid credits or fees
• Legal action: Pursuit of legal remedies, including injunctive relief and damages, where appropriate
• Law enforcement referral: Reporting violations to law enforcement authorities when required by law or when SafeReq determines that criminal activity may be involved

6.3 Appeal Process

If your account is suspended or terminated, you may appeal the decision by contacting legal@safereq.com within 30 days of the enforcement action. Your appeal should include your account details and a description of why you believe the action was taken in error. SafeReq will review the appeal and respond within 15 business days.

6.4 No Waiver

SafeReq's decision not to enforce this AUP in any particular instance does not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce this AUP in future instances. SafeReq may enforce this AUP at its sole discretion.

7. Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any activity that violates this AUP, or if you believe another user is misusing the Services, please report it promptly:

All reports are reviewed by SafeReq's operations team. We will take appropriate action and may follow up with you if additional information is needed. Reporter identities are kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

8. Changes to This Policy

SafeReq may update this AUP from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, security practices, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via email or an in-platform announcement.

Continued use of the Services after changes to this AUP take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you may discontinue use of the Services and close your account.
