Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Who this applies to

Everyone who uses Light Cloud: account holders, members of a workspace, and anyone or anything acting for them, including AI assistants connected to an account, the CLI and the API. It is part of the Terms of Service. You are responsible for what runs in your workspaces and for what your apps let others do.

What you may not host or run

  • Malware, phishing pages, credential harvesting, or anything built to deceive people into giving up money, passwords or personal data.
  • Content that is illegal where it is published or where Light Cloud operates, including child sexual abuse material, content that infringes others’ rights, and material that incites violence.
  • Spam: unsolicited bulk email or messages, and tools whose main purpose is sending them.
  • Cryptocurrency mining, and any workload whose main purpose is consuming compute rather than serving users.
  • Attacks on other systems: scanning, brute-forcing, denial of service, exploiting vulnerabilities, or open proxies and relays used to hide traffic.
  • Services that resell or redistribute Light Cloud itself without our written agreement.

Fair use of shared resources

  • Static sites on every plan include fair-use bandwidth. Traffic far above what a normal website serves (for example, using a site as a file host or a video CDN) may be limited.
  • Do not try to get around plan limits, usage limits or the Free plan’s monthly usage, for example by creating many accounts or workspaces.
  • Do not interfere with other customers, the shared database pools, or the platform’s operation.

Security research

Testing the security of your own apps is welcome. Testing Light Cloud itself, or other customers’ apps, needs our permission first: write to us through the contact page and choose Security.

What we do about a breach

Depending on the harm, we may warn you, limit or pause an app or a workspace, remove content, suspend or close an account, and report illegal activity to the authorities. Where we can, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix it; when there is ongoing harm to people or to the platform, we act first and tell you after.

Reporting abuse

If you see a Light Cloud-hosted site or app breaking these rules, tell us through the contact page with the address and what you saw. We look at every report.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version; material changes are announced to account holders by email.
