You may not use BlnkSpace's commerce features to sell or facilitate the sale of:

• Illegal goods or substances in the applicable jurisdiction

BlnkSpace reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, that a product or service is inappropriate for the platform even if not explicitly listed above.

Users who send email campaigns through BlnkSpace must comply with all applicable anti-spam laws including CAN-SPAM (USA), CASL (Canada), and GDPR (EU).

We monitor sending patterns for abuse indicators including high bounce rates and spam complaint rates. We may throttle or suspend campaign access for patterns inconsistent with legitimate email marketing.

You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of BlnkSpace
• Use automated bots, scrapers, or crawlers on BlnkSpace without our express permission
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits, suspensions, or bans
• Share your account credentials with other people (use the collaboration features instead)
• Resell or sublicense access to BlnkSpace without our written permission
• Use BlnkSpace to build a competing product without our consent
• Probe or test the vulnerability of any BlnkSpace system without authorisation
• Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service for other users

When you publish a page on BlnkSpace, it becomes publicly accessible on the internet. As the publisher, you are solely responsible for its content. In addition to the prohibitions above, published pages must not:

• Mislead visitors about the nature or operator of the page
• Engage in deceptive collection of visitor data
• Contain drive-by downloads or attempt to install software without consent
• Embed third-party tracking scripts that violate visitors' privacy rights without appropriate consent and disclosure
• Automatically redirect visitors to other websites without their interaction
• Serve different content to search engine crawlers than to human visitors (cloaking)

If you collect personal data from visitors (e.g. via email sign-up forms), you are responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws, including providing a privacy notice and obtaining appropriate consent.

When using the BlnkSpace AI writing assistant, you must not attempt to:

• Use the AI to generate content that would itself violate this AUP (spam, illegal content, deceptive content)
• Use prompt injection techniques to manipulate AI behaviour in ways that harm BlnkSpace or other users
• Use the AI to assist in illegal activities

You are responsible for any AI-generated content you publish or distribute through BlnkSpace, just as you are responsible for any other content you create.

If you encounter content that violates this policy, please report it:

• General AUP violations: abuse@blnkspace.com
• Copyright infringement: legal@blnkspace.com
• Urgent safety issues (CSAM, imminent harm): safety@blnkspace.com

Please include the URL of the content, a description of the violation, and your contact information. We review all reports promptly.

When we determine a violation has occurred, we may take one or more of the following actions depending on severity:

We will generally attempt to notify you and give you an opportunity to respond, except where immediate action is required to protect safety, notification would compromise an investigation, or we are required by law not to notify.

If you believe we have taken action against your account or content in error, you may appeal by emailing appeals@blnkspace.com within 14 days of the action. Please include:

• Your account email address
• A description of the action taken
• Your explanation of why you believe the action was in error
• Any supporting information or evidence

We will review appeals and respond within 14 business days. Our decision on appeals is final.

We may update this AUP to reflect changes in our platform, new types of misuse, or changes in applicable law. We will notify users of material changes by email and in-app notice with at least 14 days' notice before changes take effect.
