Usage Policy

Rules and expectations for acceptable use of the Pebcrow platform, including Pebcrow Think, Pebcrow Play, and the Pebcrow API.

Effective Date: May 14, 2026

This Usage Policy ("Policy") outlines the acceptable use of the Pebcrow platform, website, API, and all related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Pebcrow, Inc. ("Pebcrow," "we," "us," or "our"). This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to comply with this Policy. Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination without notice or refund.

1. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the Services by any third party. You must comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.

2. Prohibited Conduct

The following actions are strictly prohibited:

  • Harassing, bullying, threatening, doxxing, or targeting any individual or group
  • Posting, distributing, generating, or attempting to generate content that is illegal under applicable law, including but not limited to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), content sexualizing minors, content facilitating human trafficking, or content inciting imminent violence
  • Engaging in fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading activity, including impersonating other users, public figures, or Pebcrow staff
  • Distributing viruses, malware, ransomware, or any other harmful software or code
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, accounts, or data
  • Interfering with, disrupting, or degrading the integrity or performance of the Services or underlying infrastructure
  • Spamming, flooding, or engaging in any form of unsolicited bulk communications
  • Scraping, crawling, or harvesting data from the platform beyond normal personal use
  • Reproducing, duplicating, copying, selling, trading, reselling, or commercially exploiting any portion of the Services, including Generated Content, without our prior written consent
  • Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise attempting to derive source code, model weights, prompt templates, or training data from the Services
  • Creating multiple accounts to evade bans, circumvent rate limits, or exploit free tier allowances
  • Using the platform to promote or sell products, services, or solicit funds without authorization
  • Submitting content you do not have the right to submit, including content that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, publicity, or privacy rights

3. Prohibited AI Uses

In addition to the prohibitions above, you may not use the Services — including Pebcrow Think prompts, Pebcrow Play generation, or any other AI feature — to do any of the following:

  • Deepfakes and impersonation. Generate or attempt to generate realistic depictions of real people (including celebrities, politicians, and private individuals) without their consent, synthetic voices imitating real people, fake quotes attributed to real people, or content designed to be mistaken for a real person's authentic speech, image, or action.
  • Non-consensual sexualized content.Generate sexual or nude imagery of any real person without that person's verifiable, informed consent, or any sexual content involving (or appearing to involve) minors. This is a zero-tolerance category.
  • High-stakes automated decisions. Rely on outputs of the Services as the sole basis for decisions in domains that materially affect a person's life or rights, including medical diagnosis or treatment, mental health crisis intervention, legal advice or court filings, financial advice or lending, insurance underwriting, employment or housing decisions, immigration decisions, government benefits, or critical infrastructure operations. Outputs are not a substitute for licensed professional judgment.
  • Election interference. Generate or distribute synthetic media intended to deceive voters about candidates, elections, voting procedures, or ballot integrity, or to suppress voter participation.
  • Biometric identification and surveillance.Use the Services to perform biometric identification, biometric categorization, emotion inference in workplace or educational contexts, predictive policing, social scoring, or any application restricted or prohibited under the EU AI Act or comparable law.
  • Weapons, dangerous instructions, and CBRN.Develop, obtain, or distribute instructions for weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear), illegal weapons, malware, or operational instructions for attacks on people, infrastructure, or systems.
  • Self-harm encouragement. Generate content that promotes, glorifies, or provides instructions for suicide, eating disorders, or other forms of self-harm.
  • Manipulation and deception. Build systems whose primary purpose is to manipulate, deceive, or psychologically exploit people, including disinformation campaigns, fake reviews, fake news sites, romance scams, or social-engineering toolkits.
  • Prompt-injection, jailbreaking, and safety circumvention. Attempt to bypass, manipulate, or disable the Services' safety, moderation, or rate-limit systems through adversarial prompts, encoding tricks, role-play framings, or other techniques designed to elicit prohibited output.
  • Training third-party models. Use Generated Content, prompts, or any other platform output as training data, fine-tuning data, or evaluation data for any AI system not operated by Pebcrow.

Output filters and moderation systems can fail. The presence or absence of an automated block does not signal that a use is permitted. You are responsible for ensuring your prompts and use of the Services comply with this Policy regardless of whether the system catches a violation.

4. Pebcrow Play Rules

Pebcrow Play turns your prompts into playable AI-generated games. Generated games are owned by Pebcrow and licensed to you under our Terms of Service. The following rules apply specifically to Play.

  • On-platform play only. Generated games are licensed for play on the Pebcrow platform. You may not export, rehost, mirror, embed in third-party products, or distribute the game itself.
  • Removal at our discretion. We may remove, modify, or destroy any Generated Content at any time, for any reason, with or without notice and without recourse. Reasons may include content we deem inappropriate, unsafe, illegal, off-brand, infringing, or simply no longer desirable to host.
  • No cheating or game manipulation.Do not use bots, automation, scripts, or external tools to manipulate game state, leaderboards, scoring, credit balances, or other gameplay systems. Do not exploit bugs to gain credits, entitlements, or unfair advantages.
  • No credit fraud. Play credits and priority credits are licenses to request generation under our Terms of Service. They are not currency, are not redeemable for cash, and have no monetary value. Do not buy, sell, trade, or attempt to transfer credits outside our platform. Do not initiate payment chargebacks for credits you have used.
  • Responsible prompts. You are responsible for the prompts you submit. Prompts that attempt to produce content prohibited by Section 3 (Prohibited AI Uses) or Section 8 (Content Standards) violate this Policy regardless of whether the system blocks the output.
  • No deceptive monetization. Do not create games whose primary purpose is to extract money, personal data, or credentials from other users through deceptive means.

5. Personal Use, Screenshots, and Streaming

As a courtesy to our community and consistent with the practice of other user-generated content platforms, the following personal, non-commercialuses of your Pebcrow experience are permitted, notwithstanding the general no-redistribution rule in our Terms of Service:

  • Capturing screenshots of your own gameplay or interactions for personal use or to share with friends
  • Recording and live-streaming your gameplay on platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, or similar, for personal, non-commercial purposes including monetization through standard creator-platform programs
  • Sharing AI-generated images or short clips from your experience on social media, with appropriate disclosure that the content was generated on Pebcrow

This courtesy does not extend to:

  • Redistributing, rehosting, or mirroring an entire generated game or substantial portion thereof
  • Removing Pebcrow branding, attribution, or watermarks (where present)
  • Selling or licensing Generated Content to third parties
  • Using Generated Content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate non-Pebcrow AI systems
  • Presenting Generated Content in a way that misrepresents its source, including passing it off as original human work or as the output of a different AI system

We may revoke this personal-use permission for any user or content at any time. Pebcrow reserves all rights not expressly granted here.

6. API and Platform Fair Use

Access to the Pebcrow API and platform is subject to fair use expectations. A paid subscription grants enhanced participation capabilities but does not entitle you to unlimited, unrestricted, or abusive use of the API, generation features, or any platform feature.

  • Rate Limits: API access and generation are subject to rate limits and usage quotas. These limits may change at any time without prior notice.
  • Automated Access: Automated scripts, bots, or other programmatic access must respect rate limits and must not degrade the experience for other users. Pebcrow may block or throttle any automated access at its discretion.
  • Resource Consumption: You shall not engage in activity that consumes a disproportionate share of platform resources, including excessive API calls, large data transfers, or computationally intensive operations.
  • API Key Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your API keys. Any activity conducted through your API key is your responsibility, regardless of whether you authorized it.

7. Subscription and Access Expectations

Paid subscriptions provide enhanced access to participation features and additional Pebcrow Play credits. Subscriptions are governed by the following expectations:

  • A subscription is a privilege, not a right. It does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted access.
  • Subscribers who violate this Usage Policy are subject to the same enforcement actions as free users, including immediate termination without refund.
  • A subscription does not confer special treatment in enforcement decisions. All users are held to the same standards of conduct.
  • Subscription features, credit allowances, and limits may change at any time. Pebcrow will endeavor to provide notice of material changes but is not obligated to do so.
  • Subscriber accounts are individual licenses for an adult. Account sharing, credit-pooling among households, and corporate use of individual subscriptions are not permitted.

8. Content Standards

Pebcrow is a platform for adult discourse and adult-oriented AI gameplay. We permit discussion of, and generation of content about, controversial, provocative, and mature subjects. The following content categories are not permitted anywhere on the platform — in submitted entries, prompts, Generated Content, or any other form:

  • Content that is illegal under applicable law
  • Content that directly incites imminent violence against specific individuals or groups
  • Child sexual abuse material, content sexualizing minors, or content that depicts or appears to depict minors in sexual or sexually suggestive contexts (whether the minor is real, fictional, or AI-generated)
  • Non-consensual sexual or nude depictions of real people
  • Content facilitating human trafficking, sexual exploitation, or coordinated violence
  • Content designed solely to harass, stalk, or threaten a specific individual
  • Personally identifiable information of others without their consent (doxxing)
  • Confidential, classified, or proprietary information you do not have the right to share

Pebcrow uses automated and human moderation systems to enforce these standards. Moderation decisions are made at Pebcrow's sole discretion and are final. We are not obligated to explain or justify individual moderation decisions, although we will consider written appeals of automated moderation in accordance with applicable law.

9. User Responsibilities

As a user of the Services, you are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and preventing unauthorized access
  • All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it, including use of your account by household members or any minor
  • Ensuring your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including those of your country and locality
  • Maintaining your own backup copies of any content you wish to preserve — Pebcrow has no obligation to back up, restore, or return content
  • Promptly notifying Pebcrow at abuse@pebcrow.com of any unauthorized use of your account or security breach
  • Ensuring no minor accesses the Services, content, or Generated Content through your account or payment method

10. Enforcement

We reserve the right to monitor the use of the Services to ensure compliance with this Policy. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated this Policy, we may take any of the following actions, without prior notice:

  • Issue a warning (though we are not obligated to warn before taking further action)
  • Remove, edit, restrict access to, or permanently destroy content or Generated Content that violates this Policy
  • Throttle, restrict, or revoke API access, generation access, or specific platform features
  • Revoke Play credits or other entitlements without refund
  • Temporarily or permanently suspend your account
  • Permanently terminate your account and delete all associated data
  • Report your conduct to law enforcement, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), or other appropriate authorities
  • Pursue civil and/or criminal legal action against you

Enforcement decisions are made at Pebcrow's sole discretion and are final. Except as required by applicable law, we are under no obligation to provide advance notice, a warning, or an explanation for enforcement actions. Terminated accounts forfeit all subscription time, credits, and entitlements, and no refunds will be issued.

11. Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any violation of this Usage Policy, please report it to abuse@pebcrow.com. For suspected child sexual abuse material or imminent threats of harm, please report immediately and, where appropriate, also contact local law enforcement and the NCMEC CyberTipline (report.cybertip.org). We will investigate reports in our discretion but are under no obligation to take action or inform reporters of the outcome.

12. Changes to the Usage Policy

We may modify this Usage Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the Effective Date and, where appropriate, by in-product notice or email. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified Policy.
