  • Creating malicious skills: Developing or distributing skills that contain malicious payloads, prompt injections, credential harvesting, or data exfiltration capabilities

  • BYOK misuse: Using the Bring Your Own Key feature to route traffic through HexaClaw in violation of your own Third-Party Provider agreement, or using BYOK to obscure the origin of prohibited requests

5. Resource & Fair Use

To ensure service quality for all users, the following fair use guidelines apply:

  • Cloud API Platform usage must stay within your plan's rate limits: Trial (30 requests/min, 500/day, 3 concurrent), Pro (60 requests/min, 2,000/day, 5 concurrent), Max (120 requests/min, 10,000/day, 10 concurrent). Enterprise limits are set per agreement.
  • Daily spending caps apply per tier: Trial (200 credits), Pro (500 credits), Max (1,500 credits). These caps protect against runaway usage.
  • Browser automation sessions are intended for interactive web tasks, not as a general-purpose proxy or tunnel
  • Automated or scripted access to the Service must comply with documented API guidelines
  • Bulk operations that degrade service for other users may be throttled or suspended

6. Security Research

We support good-faith security research. If you discover a vulnerability in HexaClaw:

  • Report it through our Vulnerability Disclosure Program
  • Do not exploit vulnerabilities beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the issue
  • Do not access, modify, or delete other users' data
  • Allow reasonable time for remediation before public disclosure

Good-faith security research conducted in accordance with our Security & Vulnerability Disclosure page is exempt from the prohibitions in Section 3, provided it is reported responsibly.

7. Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any violation of this AUP, please report it to abuse@hexaclaw.com. Include as much detail as possible, including the nature of the violation, any evidence, and the accounts or services involved. Reports are handled confidentially.

8. Enforcement

Violations of this AUP may result in enforcement actions at our discretion, following a graduated approach:

  1. Warning: Written notice of the violation with a request to cease the prohibited activity. A reasonable timeframe for compliance will be provided.
  2. Suspension: Temporary suspension of account access or specific features. You will be notified of the duration and conditions for reinstatement.
  3. Termination: Permanent termination of your account and license. Applies to severe or repeated violations, or activities that pose immediate risk to other users or our infrastructure.

We reserve the right to skip steps in this process for severe violations that pose immediate risk, including but not limited to: distribution of malware, active exploitation of vulnerabilities, or credential harvesting.

Terminated accounts are not eligible for refunds except as required by applicable law.
