Octyl Acceptable Use Policy

Effective date: 3 November 2026 · Version: aup-2026-11-03

This policy is part of the Octyl Terms of Service. It applies to the Octyl software, octyl.ai and app.octyl.ai, Octyl on your phone and Octyl’s online services (together, the “Product”).

1. Follow your AI providers’ rules

You must follow the terms, usage policies and limits of every AI provider whose agent you run through Octyl (for example Anthropic’s Usage Policy and Consumer or Commercial Terms, OpenAI’s terms and usage policies, and Google’s Gemini terms). In particular, you must not use Octyl to:

  • share, pool, resell or rent a personal subscription or its credentials among several people, or run other people’s work on your subscription where the provider forbids it;
  • extract, copy or forward another tool’s sign-in tokens or session credentials to other machines, services or people;
  • evade a provider’s rate limits, usage limits, account bans or safety systems, including by rotating accounts;
  • run more parallel or automated usage than your provider plan allows.

Octyl may limit agents or suspend features if we learn a usage pattern breaks a provider’s terms.

2. Prohibited uses

You must not use the Product to:

  1. break any law, or infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
  2. develop or deploy malware, ransomware, exploits against systems you are not authorized to test, or tools for unauthorized access;
  3. attack, probe or overload the Product or the team relay, or other people’s systems;
  4. send content through the team relay that it is designed to exclude (code, diffs, prompts, secrets), or use the relay as a general messaging or file-transfer channel;
  5. tamper with, forge, replay or inflate receipts, outcome updates or plan grants, or circumvent agent limits;
  6. attempt to re-identify any person or organization from Reef results;
  7. harass, threaten or deceive people, including through Octyl on your phone or team features;
  8. process children’s data, or special categories of personal data, in ways that need protections the Product does not offer;
  9. violate export control or sanctions laws;
  10. reverse engineer, decompile, deobfuscate or tamper with the Software or the Product, or circumvent their technical protection measures;
  11. scrape or automatically extract data from the Product, or probe, scan or test the vulnerabilities of Octyl’s systems, except under section 3;
  12. help anyone else do any of the above.

Nothing here restricts what applicable law expressly permits notwithstanding these limits.

2A. Integrity of the Reef

The Reef is only useful if it reflects real work. You must not, directly or through anyone acting for you or paid by you:

  1. operate, buy, rent, borrow or coordinate several accounts or identities in order to contribute receipts, or contribute through an account or identity that is not genuinely yours;
  2. submit synthetic, staged, scripted or replayed runs, or tasks created mainly to be measured, as if they were real work;
  3. misstate, or make the Product misreport, the model, AI tool, extension, configuration or outcome of a run;
  4. contribute or withhold receipts selectively in order to change a published result;
  5. pay, credit, reward or instruct other people to run particular AI tools, models, extensions or configurations, or particular kinds of tasks, through Octyl, or to contribute receipts, in order to change a published result;
  6. probe, time or otherwise target the Reef’s publication rules (for example by pushing a small group over the publication minimum) in order to change what is published;
  7. otherwise manipulate receipts or try to control what the Reef publishes.

Sponsored use. Offering credits, discounts or free access to people who use Octyl is fine. If the offer is connected to Octyl or the Reef, tell us at legal@octyl.ai before it starts. Octyl may leave runs funded by such a program out of Reef results.

What Octyl does. Octyl may hold out or exclude contributions it reasonably believes break this section, and hold an affected result for review.

Statistical signals alone only hold or exclude a result; they never lead to action against a person. When a person at Octyl concludes, on evidence beyond statistics alone, that someone broke this section, Octyl may suspend or end the accounts involved (Terms of Service section 11).

Good-faith research into the Reef’s robustness is welcome under section 3 if it uses data you are entitled to submit and is reported privately first.

3. Security research

Unauthorized vulnerability research against Octyl’s software or systems is prohibited. Good-faith research is authorized only if you test only your own accounts, devices and data; access no more data than the minimum needed to show the issue, and no one else’s; do not degrade or disrupt any service or other users; report privately to security@octyl.ai; and do not disclose publicly until we have fixed the issue or 90 days have passed since your report, whichever comes first. EULA section 4A has the detail.

4. Enforcement

We may remove access, suspend accounts, revoke linked machines or paired devices, or refer conduct to law enforcement. For reverse engineering, circumvention or unauthorized vulnerability research we may suspend at once and permanently end all accounts and licenses, and plan entitlements end. For manipulating receipts or the Reef, section 2A applies. For other violations we will, where practical, tell you and give you a chance to fix the problem first.

5. Reporting

Report abuse or a security issue to security@octyl.ai, and anything else to legal@octyl.ai.
