Acceptable Use Policy

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This policy explains what you may not do when using Gold Prints Publishing Studio. It applies to all content you create or upload, including content created with AI features. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

Fiction often deals with dark, violent or mature themes. That is welcome. This policy is about unlawful or harmful use, not about difficult subject matter in creative writing.

1. Do not use the Service to

• create, store or share anything illegal where you live or in the UK;
• create, store or share sexual content involving anyone under 18, in any form, including fictional depictions. We report this to the authorities;
• infringe others' rights, for example by uploading books you do not have the right to use, or plagiarising other authors' work;
• harass, threaten, defame or doxx real people, or publish their private information without a lawful reason;
• create content that incites violence or terrorism, or provides real instructions for serious harm (for example making weapons or dangerous substances);
• impersonate another person or organisation in a misleading way;
• deceive or defraud people, including creating fake reviews or misleading publishing material;
• use AI features in breach of our AI provider's usage policies.

2. Do not misuse the Service itself

• Do not try to access books, workspaces or data you have not been given access to, or to break or bypass security, access rules or usage limits.
• Do not upload viruses or harmful code.
• Do not overload or disrupt the Service, or use automated tools to scrape it, except through features we provide.
• Do not resell, sublicense or provide the Service to others as your own product without our written permission.
• Do not share your account or create accounts to get around limits or suspensions.

3. What we may do

If we reasonably believe this policy has been broken, we may, depending on how serious it is:

• remove or restrict access to content;
• limit features (for example AI use);
• suspend or close accounts;
• report illegal content to the authorities where required or appropriate.

We will normally tell you what we have done and why, unless the law, safety or an investigation prevents it. If you think we made a mistake, contact goldprintspublishing@gmail.com and we will review it.

4. Reporting

To report content or behaviour that breaks this policy, contact goldprintspublishing@gmail.com.
