Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Last Updated: February 25, 2026

1. Purpose

This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") outlines the acceptable use of Sendme.alt (the "Service"). This Policy is designed to protect us, our users, and the Internet community from irresponsible, abusive, or illegal activities.

2. Prohibited Content

You are strictly prohibited from utilizing the Service's signaling infrastructure to broker the transfer of the following types of content:

  • Illegal Content: Any materials that are unlawful, illicit, or promote illegal activities under any applicable laws.
  • Malware and Exploits: Viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs, ransomware, or any other material which is malicious or technologically harmful.
  • Copyright Infringement: Unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, trade secrets, software, or proprietary information.
  • Exploitative Material: Content depicting the exploitation of minors, non-consensual explicit media, or any abusive imagery.

3. Network Abuse

We maintain strict rate limits to ensure fair availability of the Service. You agree not to engage in the following activities:

  • Denial of Service: Intentionally overloading, flooding, or executing DDoS attacks against our signaling APIs or database endpoints.
  • Automated Abuse: Rapidly generating transferring tokens, spamming WebRTC offers, or scraping the API via automated bots or scripts without explicit permission.
  • Reverse Engineering: Attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the system or network or to breach security or authentication measures.

4. Enforcement

Because of our strict Zero-Knowledge architecture, we cannot technically monitor or audit the physical files passing peer-to-peer. Our enforcement of this Policy is therefore limited to the *signaling metadata*.

However, we maintain the sovereign right to permanently IP-ban or block access to the Service for any user discovered willfully violating this Acceptable Use Policy, engaging in network abuse, or threatening the operational continuity of our signaling servers.

5. Reporting Abuse

Given our decentralized approach, if you receive harmful or illegal files, please discard them and report the sender to your local cybercrime authorities. If you identify a network vulnerability or abuse of our signaling endpoints, please contact the developer via our GitHub repository.
