Policy · Launch draft v0.1
Acceptable use
What may and may not be built on the AxForge API and GPU services. Short version: nothing illegal, nothing the EU AI Act prohibits, and high-risk uses talk to us first.
Prohibited
Uses that are never permitted
| Category | What is prohibited |
|---|---|
| Illegal activity | Illegal content or activity of any kind, under applicable law. |
| Malware & intrusion | Creating or distributing malware, credential theft, or intrusion tooling for unauthorized access to systems or accounts. |
| Unlawful surveillance | Monitoring or tracking of people without a lawful basis. |
| CSAM | Child sexual abuse material — zero tolerance, in any form, generated or processed. |
AI Act Article 5
Prohibited AI practices
The EU AI Act bans certain AI practices outright (Article 5). They are equally banned on AxForge, in plain words:
| Practice | In plain words |
|---|---|
| Manipulative techniques | Systems that use manipulative or deceptive techniques to materially distort a person's behaviour. |
| Exploitative targeting | Systems that exploit vulnerabilities of specific people or groups — for instance because of age, disability or social situation. |
| Social scoring | Scoring or classifying people over time based on behaviour or characteristics, leading to detrimental treatment. |
| Untargeted facial scraping | Untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV to build facial-recognition databases. |
| Emotion inference at work or school | Inferring emotions of people in workplaces or education institutions, except in the cases the AI Act itself permits. |
| Real-time remote biometric ID | Real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces for law-enforcement purposes. |
Prior review
High-risk uses require review first
Uses that fall in the EU AI Act's high-risk areas (Annex III) require prior review by AxForge before deployment. That includes, for example:
| Annex III area (examples) | Example use |
|---|---|
| Employment | Screening, ranking or deciding on candidates and workers. |
| Credit | Credit scoring or creditworthiness assessment of people. |
| Essential services | Deciding access to essential private or public services. |
| Law enforcement | AI systems used in a law-enforcement context. |
- Planning something in these areas? Contact hello@axforge.ai before you deploy. The examples above are not the complete Annex III list — when in doubt, ask.
Your responsibilities
What stays on the customer's side
| Topic | Expectation |
|---|---|
| Special-category data | If your content includes special-category personal data (health, biometrics, beliefs and the like), you must have a lawful basis for processing it. We discourage sending it to the shared API at all. |
| Human oversight | Consequential decisions about people require human oversight. Do not wire model output directly into decisions that affect someone's rights or access. |
| Factual correctness | Model outputs are not guaranteed to be factually correct. Verify before you rely. |
| Downstream decisions | Decisions made with model output — and their consequences — are the customer's own. |
Enforcement
Suspension and appeal
Violations of this policy lead to suspension of service. If you believe a suspension is wrong, appeal to hello@axforge.ai — one mailbox handles operational, privacy and security mail today; dedicated aliases arrive at launch.
