This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) sets out the conduct we expect from everyone who uses technooptics.com and the websites, apps, and services of any other brand or venture within the Abel Ark group, including Advottic, Rolls & Digs, Optics Studio, and Optics Capital (together, the “Services”). It is part of, and incorporated into, our Terms of Use. We may suspend or terminate access for any breach.
1. You will not
- Use the Services in any way that breaks the law or any applicable regulation, or that would put us in breach of any law or regulation.
- Use the Services to harass, threaten, defame, or harm another person or organisation.
- Use the Services to publish, transmit, or store content that is obscene, abusive, hateful, or that infringes the rights (including intellectual-property, privacy, and publicity rights) of any third party.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Services, any related systems or networks, or any account belonging to anyone else.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services or any related system, or otherwise undertake security research, without our prior written permission.
- Interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Services or any related infrastructure, including by sending automated traffic, flooding, denial-of-service activity, or by deploying viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, time bombs, keystroke loggers, or other malicious code.
- Bypass or attempt to bypass any rate-limit, access control, technical barrier, or measure intended to protect the Services.
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, mirror, or otherwise extract content from the Services at scale, including by using automated tools, except for the well-known good-actor crawlers that respect
robots.txt. - Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services (other than to the extent that applicable law expressly permits).
- Use the Services to develop or train any large language model or competing product, except where we have given you prior written permission.
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, including by impersonating any person or organisation, or by suggesting endorsement or association with Abel Ark where none exists.
- Use the Services to send unsolicited commercial communications (spam), phishing messages, or chain mail.
- Encourage, facilitate, or assist anyone else in doing any of the above.
2. Reporting abuse
If you become aware of any breach of this AUP, including an attempt to compromise the Services, or content that violates the rights of others, please report it to abuse@abelark.com.
3. Coordinated security disclosure
Security researchers acting in good faith are welcome to share findings responsibly. Please write to security@abelark.com before testing. We’ll work with you, won’t take legal action against good-faith research that follows reasonable disclosure practice, and we’ll publicly thank you (with permission) once any issue is addressed.
4. Consequences
We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice: investigate any suspected breach; remove or refuse to publish any content; throttle or suspend access; terminate accounts; preserve evidence and cooperate with law enforcement. Nothing in this AUP limits any other right or remedy available to us.
