Crunched - Acceptable Use Policy

Crunched - Acceptable Use Policy

The Neobot Verein does our best to provide rules limited to preserving our morality, integrity, reliability and legality of our services.
We kindly request you follow the following rules:

  1. Be nice. Be sensible.
  2. No pornography involving minors - real or fictional.
  3. No crypto mining, please.
  4. No training LLMs. Only run them if their resource usage over time is similar to any other server we'd see.
  5. No hosting black-hat phishing sites or command and control (C&C) servers. No launching (D)DoS attacks from our infrastructure. No outgoing spam.
  6. No Tor Exit Nodes/Open Proxies/i2p Outproxies. Sorry, we don't want the feds knocking on our door.
  7. Make an attempt to not have the server wide open for any attacker.
  8. Be reasonable with resource usage. We don't want to start needing to limit network interfaces.
  9. Try not to get init7 to contact us about your use of our services. (Link goes to their ToS)
  10. Follow regional laws in Zurich, Switzerland - atleast in regards to the contents hosted here.
    We dislike the feds knocking on our door just as much as anyone else.

Tl;dr: Abide by the same general rules any other provider provides. Try not to violate regional laws in Zurich, Switzerland. Don't do anything you wouldn't want your friends to do on your internal network.

Excessive Resource Use Policy

In case of excessive resource use, we will try to inform you prior to taking action. However, if the resource use severely affects other users, or the server's operations as a whole, we may take actions without prior notice.

UGC

If you allow user-generated content, you should really try to make sure you moderate it so illegal material is removed before any complaints reach us.

If you clearly state that your site hosts user-generated content, law enforcement and child-protection agencies will typically contact you first rather than contacting us, so ensure you put easily-accessible contact information.

The Legal Stuff

We can stop providing our services to you, both temporarily and permanently, both with or without notice (at our discression) - however we will try to reserve this as a last-resort; see below.

The Best-Effort Attempt

We can ask you to stop doing whatever on your server for whatever reason. We may stop your server(s) without notice. If illegal, we may remove data without notice (although we try not to).
If no cooperation within a reasonable time-frame is achieved, we may remove data. It is your responsibility to provide us with contact information we will reasonably be able to find (an email you regularly check on your Keycloak is sufficient).
We try, where possible and reasonable, to provide you with enough time to move away, when the reasoning for discontinued service isn't legality based nor extreme. If you really care, however, as per anything one cares about: keep backups.

Contact

As a user, due to the invite-only nature of this service, if you have questions regarding the AUP, please just contact the creature that sent you here. Only admins can generate invites, as of now.

Are you a law enforcement agency and need contact with us? Contact us at
law-enforcement[at]neobot[dot]systems.
Note that if you are requesting user data, unless we are legally obliged to, we are very likely to deny any requests user data.

Additionally, note that default installations of VMs are full-disk encrypted, meaning this data may not be useful. We also don't try to collect more data than needed for our own operations.
