Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated 5 November 2026

• Acceptable use
• Security
• Subprocessors

This policy applies to everyone who uses BrightGears, including the agents acting for you. Use it for real work, within the law and within your AI provider’s rules.

1. Your AI provider’s policy applies too

BrightGears runs on the AI provider account you connect, so that provider’s usage policy applies to everything the agents do through it. A breach of that policy is a breach of this one.

• Anthropic (Claude, Claude Code): Usage Policy
• OpenAI (Codex, GPT models): Usage Policies

2. Do not use BrightGears to

• break the law, or help anyone else break it;
• infringe intellectual property, privacy or other rights of others;
• access systems, accounts or data you are not authorized to use, or scan, probe or attack systems without permission;
• create or spread malware, or build tools meant to cause harm;
• send spam, run fraud, phishing or scams, or impersonate a person or organization;
• monitor or profile people without a lawful basis and proper notice, or collect sensitive data unlawfully;
• make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on people (such as hiring, credit, housing, insurance or medical decisions) without meaningful human review;
• harass, threaten or incite violence or hatred, or create or share sexual content involving minors;
• help develop weapons, including chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons;
• share, resell or pool AI provider accounts against the provider’s terms, get around its usage limits, or connect accounts you have no right to use;
• use BrightGears in a Restricted Region (Section 17.2 of the BrightGears Agreement), for persons in a Restricted Region, or for persons under sanctions;
• interfere with the BrightGears hub, try to reach other customers’ data, or get around BrightGears’ own security controls.

3. If something goes wrong

If we learn of a breach, we may suspend Services, Hub access or Updates for the affected install, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents it. We may report illegal activity to the authorities.
