WavelyTerms
Acceptable Use Policy
On this page
This policy sets out how you may use Wavely’s apps and website and the systems behind them, together called the Services. It is part of the Terms of Service, so agreeing to the terms means agreeing to it too. It applies to everyone who uses the Services, with or without an account, and to any tool or program used on their behalf.
The Community Guidelines cover what you post and how you treat other people. This policy covers how you use the Services themselves.
Before you read on
Lawful use
In short
Do not use Wavely to break the law, or to help anyone else break it.
You may use the Services only as the law allows. Using them to break the law is not allowed, including:
- Committing or helping with fraud, scams, phishing, or any other attempt to deceive people for money, information, or access to their accounts.
- Selling, buying, or arranging anything that is illegal where you or the other person are.
- Infringing anyone’s rights, including their copyright, trademarks, or privacy. The Copyright Policy and the Trademark Policy explain how rights holders can report it.
Automated access and data
In short
No scraping, crawling, or bots, no harvesting information about people, and no training AI models on anything from Wavely, unless we have agreed in writing.
Wavely is made for people. Unless we have given you written permission, or provided an interface for the purpose and you follow its terms, automated access to Wavely, and collecting or reusing its data, are not allowed, including:
- Accessing, searching, or collecting data from the Services by automated means, including scraping, crawling, bots, or scripts.
- Collecting information about people on Wavely, such as their profiles, posts, ratings, or who they follow, to build lists or databases, or to contact them outside Wavely.
- Using anything from the Services, including posts, ratings, media, and profile information, to train, fine-tune, or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
- Using automation to create accounts, post, rate, follow, like, send messages, or take any other action people take on Wavely.
Search engines may index the public website as its robots.txt file allows.
Security
In short
Do not probe, attack, or break into the Services or anyone’s account. If you find a security problem, tell us.
Attacking the Services, getting into any part of them without permission, or copying them is not allowed, including:
- Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of the Services, or breaching or getting around any security or authentication measure.
- Accessing, or trying to access, an account, information, or part of the Services you are not authorized to use.
- Interfering with or disrupting the Services, including by overloading them with requests or by uploading malicious code.
- Copying, modifying, reverse engineering, or creating derivative works of the Services, except where the law expressly allows it.
If you think you have found a security vulnerability, report it to security@usewavely.com. Good-faith security research reported to us is welcome, and we will not pursue researchers who act in good faith and give us reasonable time to fix what they find. Acting in good faith means testing only as much as you need to show the problem, never viewing, changing, or keeping other people’s information, never disrupting the Services, and keeping the problem private until it is fixed.
Accounts and limits
In short
Do not trade accounts or usernames, and do not get around a limit we or someone else has set.
Trading or misusing accounts, or getting around a limit we or someone else has set, is not allowed, including:
- Buying, selling, renting, or transferring an account or a username, or offering to.
- Using someone else’s account without their permission.
- Creating accounts in bulk, or creating one to get around a block, a suspension, or a ban.
- Getting around a block, a privacy setting, an age restriction, a usage limit, or any other limit we or another person have put in place.
Using features honestly
In short
Reports, appeals, ratings, and engagement have to be genuine.
Misusing Wavely’s features, or selling access to Wavely, is not allowed, including:
- Filing reports or appeals you know are false, or coordinating with others to report content or accounts that do not break the rules.
- Manipulating ratings, likes, follows, or other engagement, including by using multiple accounts, buying or selling engagement, or coordinating with others to distort what Wavely shows. The Rating Guidelines explain how to rate honestly.
- Selling access to the Services, or to anything in them, without our written permission.
When this policy is broken
In short
We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or close accounts.
Depending on how serious a violation is, we may remove content, limit what an account can do, suspend or permanently close accounts, and block access to the Services. We report illegal activity to the authorities where the law requires us to. How We Enforce Our Rules explains how we decide, and Reporting and Appeals explains how to report a violation or appeal a decision.
