Acceptable Use Policy

Effective Date: March 28, 2026

1. Overview

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") outlines the acceptable and prohibited uses of the custom engineering services, testing environments, and infrastructure provided by CometBlue LLC ("Company," "we," or "us"). This policy applies to all enterprise clients, contractors, and authorized users operating under a mutually executed Master Services Agreement (MSA) or Statement of Work (SOW).

2. Prohibited Activities

You may not use our infrastructure, engineering environments, or deployed systems to engage in, foster, or promote illegal, abusive, or irresponsible behavior. This includes, but is not limited to:

• High-Risk Regulated Processing: Processing, storing, or transmitting protected health information (PHI) or acting as a medical diagnostic device without explicit, prior regulatory approval and a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
• Gaming and Gambling: Operating consumer-facing gaming platforms, processing micro-transactions, or facilitating real-money gambling, sports betting, or lotteries.
• Financial and Crypto Assets: Operating cryptocurrency exchanges, unregistered money service businesses (MSBs), or engaging in the transmission of virtual currency.
• Illegal and Harmful Content: Distributing material that is fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or promotes violence or exploitation.
• Intellectual Property Infringement: Utilizing our custom-built models or infrastructure to scrape, reproduce, or distribute copyrighted material without authorization.
• Network Abuse: Executing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, distributing malware, bypassing access controls, or conducting unauthorized vulnerability scanning against any internal or third-party networks.

3. Client Data and AI Training Restrictions

CometBlue LLC engineers infrastructure for dedicated client use. You are prohibited from using our staging environments or baseline architectural frameworks to ingest, scrape, or process personally identifiable information (PII) sourced from the public web without explicit user consent. We do not permit our systems to be used for the unauthorized scraping of data to train foundational models.

4. Enforcement and Termination

We reserve the right to monitor the usage of any active staging environments or infrastructure actively managed by CometBlue LLC to ensure compliance with this AUP. Violation of this policy will result in immediate suspension of engineering services and constitutes a material breach of the governing MSA, allowing CometBlue LLC to terminate the engagement without penalty.
