Acceptable Use

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Version: 2026-11-12

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is part of the Terms of Service for Hydracept, operated by Zencode Consulting Inc. ("Zencode," "we," "us"). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms of Service. Violation of this AUP is a violation of the Terms of Service and may result in suspension or termination, reporting to providers or authorities, and other steps described in the Terms.

You are responsible for your use of the Service and for use by your authorized users and end users. You will use the Service only in a lawful manner, and only in compliance with the Terms of Service, this AUP, and the terms and usage policies of any provider that performs a job for you.

Prohibited uses

You must not use the Service to create, request, upload, facilitate, or distribute any of the following, and you must not allow your authorized users or end users to do so:

  1. Illegal content or activity. Content or activity that is illegal or that otherwise violates applicable law.
  2. Child sexual abuse material and sexual content involving minors. Child sexual abuse material, any sexual content involving minors, grooming or sextortion content, or any other content that exploits or endangers children. This prohibition is zero tolerance. There is no exception for fiction, role-play, "artistic" framing, or a claim that the content is synthetic.
  3. Non-consensual intimate imagery. Sexual or nude depictions of a real person, including images or video created or altered with generative tools, produced or distributed without that person's consent.
  4. Non-consensual impersonation and deepfakes. Using a real person's name, image, voice, or likeness, including a deepfake or other synthetic depiction, without a lawful basis, in a deceptive, defamatory, commercial, or otherwise harmful way.
  5. Harassment and threats. Harassment, threats, bullying, or incitement of violence against a person or group.
  6. Malware and security abuse. Malware, credential theft, or other malicious code; unauthorized access to systems, accounts, domains, or other resources; or activity intended to interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service or a third-party system.
  7. Infringement. Material that infringes or misappropriates another person's intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other rights.
  8. Evasion of controls. Activity intended to evade security, billing, usage, safety, classification, or provenance controls, including mislabeling data classification to bypass a restriction.

Provider usage policies

Jobs on the Service are performed by third-party providers, either with credentials you connect (BYOK) or, when offered, with managed inference. You must also comply with the usage policies and terms of the provider used for a job. Those policies are incorporated by reference to the extent they apply to your use, including any successor URLs the provider publishes. The provider for a given job is identified on the quote, job contract, or capability descriptor.

Current policy pages for providers Hydracept may use include:

This list is not exhaustive. If a job uses a provider or model not listed here, that provider's terms still apply. Do not submit material to a capability unless its provider and data-handling terms are acceptable for that material.

Children, age gating, and reporting

Hydracept accounts must be held by adults, as described in the Terms of Service. If your product is directed at children, or you submit content from or about a child, you are responsible for complying with applicable law, including COPPA, PIPEDA, the GDPR, and any similar law, and for any legally required consent, notice, and age-gating. You must also comply with any stricter age or use rules imposed by a provider for a given job.

You must not fail to report child sexual abuse material of which you have actual knowledge. You must cooperate with Zencode's reasonable efforts to enforce this AUP and the Terms of Service.

How Zencode handles violations

Zencode has no obligation to monitor, review, or moderate Inputs or Output, and does not undertake to do so. If Zencode obtains actual knowledge of a violation, or receives a credible report, Zencode may investigate and may review, preserve, block, or disclose material, suspend or terminate access, and report activity to providers or authorities.

Zencode will report apparent child sexual abuse material of which it obtains actual knowledge to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection's Cybertip.ca, and to other authorities as required or appropriate, and will cooperate with lawful investigations.

Changes

Zencode may update this AUP by posting a revised version and updating the date and version above. A material change is handled in the same way as a material change to the Terms of Service: Zencode will send notice to the email address on your account when reasonably able to do so, and your continued use of the Service after the effective date is acceptance of the revised AUP.

How to report

To report a violation of this AUP, including illegal content or exploitation of minors, email abuse@hydracept.com or support@hydracept.com. If you believe your account or keys have been compromised, email support@hydracept.com.
