1. Purpose

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") defines the rules and guidelines for using the BrewFlow platform at brewflow.app (the "Service"). This AUP is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. By using the Service, you agree to comply with this policy.

BrewFlow is designed for legitimate brewery operations management. This policy exists to protect all users and ensure the Service remains reliable, secure, and available for its intended purpose.

2. Prohibited Activities

You may not use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
• Store, transmit, or distribute content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access the Service or extract data, except through our authorized interfaces.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks connected to the Service, including through denial-of-service attacks, excessive API calls, or resource exhaustion.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, other user accounts, or computer systems or networks connected to the Service.
• Use the Service for any purpose other than brewery operations management or a closely related legitimate business function.
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without our prior written consent.
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other malicious code through the Service.

3. Content Standards

BrewFlow stores user-generated content including brewery names, vessel names, recipe names, batch notes, deviation descriptions, and measurement annotations. All content you create or upload must:

• Be accurate and related to your brewery operations.
• Not contain hate speech, harassment, threats, or discriminatory language.
• Not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party.
• Not contain personal data of individuals without their consent.

While we do not proactively monitor user content, we reserve the right to review and remove content that violates this policy.

4. Security

You must not:

• Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any related system or network without authorization.
• Circumvent any security or authentication measures of the Service.
• Access data belonging to other brewery accounts or attempt to access accounts you are not authorized to use.
• Share your account credentials or magic link sign-in emails with unauthorized individuals.
• Use the Service to store passwords, API keys, or other sensitive credentials unrelated to brewery operations.

If you discover a security vulnerability in the Service, we ask that you report it responsibly to security@brewflow.app rather than exploiting it.

Please include a description of the violation, any relevant evidence (such as screenshots or URLs), and your contact information. We will review all reports and take appropriate action.

6. Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action in response to violations of this policy, including:

1. Warning: For minor or first-time violations, we may issue a written warning explaining the violation and requesting corrective action.
2. Suspension: For repeated or serious violations, we may temporarily suspend access to the Service while we investigate.
3. Termination: For severe or persistent violations, we may permanently terminate your account and delete associated data in accordance with our data retention policies.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify the account owner before taking enforcement action, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the Service or other users (e.g., active security threats or illegal activity).
