This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of the Auctollo cloud platform at app.auctollo.com and the Indexation WordPress plugin (collectively, the "Service"), operated by W3 EDGE, LLC d/b/a Auctollo. This AUP is incorporated into and forms part of the Terms of Service.
Auctollo builds tools to help WordPress site owners generate sitemaps, monitor indexation, and optimize technical SEO. Use of the Service outside these intended purposes — or in any manner that harms Auctollo, other users, or third parties — is prohibited.
1. Permitted Use
You may use the Service to:
- Generate, manage, and host XML, HTML, and RSS sitemaps for WordPress sites you own or are authorized to manage.
- Submit URLs to search engines via IndexNow, the Google Indexing API, and Bing Webmaster Tools on behalf of sites you own or are authorized to manage.
- Monitor and improve crawl health, redirect management, and search-engine indexation for your own sites.
- Use AI-powered features (redirect suggestions, Indexation Troubleshooter, schema audit, meta-tag scan) to improve the search performance of your own sites.
- Manage your account, API keys, connected sites, and billing through the Auctollo dashboard.
- Access and use the Plugin under the terms of its GPL-2.0+ license.
2. Prohibited Conduct
2.1 Abuse of the Platform
You may not:
- Make automated requests to the Auctollo API at rates that exceed normal individual use (rate limits are published in the Help Center).
- Use scripts or bots to simulate user activity in order to consume credits artificially or inflate reported usage.
- Attempt to circumvent credit metering, subscription-tier limits, or access controls by any technical or non-technical means.
- Probe, scan, fuzz, or penetration-test the Service for vulnerabilities without prior written authorization from Auctollo.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from Auctollo's proprietary software components.
2.2 Misuse of API Keys and Tokens
You may not:
- Share API keys, OAuth tokens, or login credentials publicly (e.g., in public repositories, forums, or social media).
- Issue or use API keys on behalf of sites you do not own or are not authorized to manage.
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute Auctollo API access as a standalone service or product.
- Use a single subscription's API key across more domains than your subscription plan permits.
2.3 Misuse of AI Features
You may not:
- Submit to AI features any content intended to deceive search engines (e.g., generating cloaking content, doorway pages, or misleading meta descriptions).
- Use AI-generated recommendations to engage in keyword stuffing, hidden text, link schemes, or other techniques that violate search-engine quality guidelines.
- Submit to AI features content that is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, harassing, or that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.
- Systematically query AI features to extract, reconstruct, or approximate underlying model weights, prompts, or system instructions.
2.4 Harm to Others or the Service
You may not:
- Use the Service to host, promote, or distribute malware, phishing pages, ransomware, spyware, or other harmful software.
- Use the redirect manager to forward users to deceptive, malicious, or unwanted destinations.
- Conduct or facilitate denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against any target.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts, data, or the Service's internal systems.
2.5 Violation of Laws and Third-Party Rights
You may not:
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
- Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person.
- Use the Service to process or expose personal data of third parties in violation of applicable privacy law (GDPR, CCPA, or equivalent).
2.6 Abuse of Free Tier, Trials, and Promotions
You may not:
- Create multiple free-tier accounts to circumvent per-account limits or credit allotments.
- Abuse launch promotions or founding-member offers through fraudulent, duplicate, or coordinated signups.
3. Content Standards
Any content generated through, submitted to, or distributed via the Service must not:
- Promote or incite violence, hatred, or discrimination.
- Constitute child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or content that exploits or harms minors.
- Facilitate illegal activity including fraud, money laundering, or drug trafficking.
- Misrepresent a site's ownership, location, or language to search engines.
- Constitute spam, phishing, or other deceptive communications.
4. WordPress Plugin Distribution
The Indexation Plugin is licensed under GPL-2.0+. You may fork and redistribute modified versions in compliance with the GPL. However, you may not:
- Distribute modified versions containing malicious code, backdoors, or unauthorized data-collection functions.
- Misrepresent a modified version as the official Auctollo/Indexation plugin or falsely imply Auctollo endorsement.
- Remove, obscure, or alter GPL license notices or copyright attributions in ways that violate the GPL.
5. Reporting Violations
If you observe behavior that violates this AUP or poses a security risk, please report it to legal@auctollo.com. For security vulnerability disclosures, please follow responsible disclosure practices and email us before public disclosure.
6. Enforcement
Auctollo reserves the right to investigate suspected violations and, at our sole discretion: issue a warning; throttle or restrict specific features; suspend your account pending investigation; or permanently terminate your account. Accounts terminated for AUP violations are not eligible for a refund.
