Acceptable Use Policy

Operated by Ent Laboratories LLC · Version 2

Effective Date: [Insert Date] · Last Updated: [Insert Date]

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) describes what is and isn’t allowed on Envvoy. It applies to everyone who uses the Service — Developers submitting Agent Listings, Visitors browsing the site, and anyone interacting with the Service through APIs, integrations, or partner channels.

This AUP is part of the Envvoy Terms of Service and is incorporated into them by reference. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service. We may update this AUP at any time; the current version always governs.

1. Nature of the Service

Envvoy is a marketing, publishing, hosting, and discovery-enablement infrastructure for AI agents and related software. Envvoy is not an app store, marketplace, exchange, brokerage, certification authority, ratings agency, security auditor, or trust-verification service. We do not vet, certify, audit, evaluate, or independently validate Agents, Developers, or Agent Listings.

No endorsement. Inclusion of an Agent or Developer on the Service — including any visibility, ordering, formatting, or placement — does not constitute endorsement, certification, verification, recommendation, or approval by Envvoy.

Search, ranking, and recommendation are operational. Where the Service includes search, ranking, recommendation, or discovery features, those features are automated and operational in nature; their output reflects relevance, freshness, and behavioral signals and does not constitute a merit-based judgment by Envvoy.

2. No Monitoring Obligation

Envvoy does not actively monitor, review, verify, endorse, or pre-screen all Agent Listings, Content, or other materials submitted to the Service. We have no obligation to do so. We reserve the right — but undertake no obligation — to investigate, refuse, edit, reformat, remove, suspend, or disable access to any Content at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion.

Enforcement of this AUP is discretionary. Our failure to act on a particular violation is not a waiver of our right to act on the same or similar violations in the future. The categories below describe the cases where we are most likely to act and the conduct most likely to result in suspension, removal, or termination.

Why this exists. Envvoy operates as a hosting and publication intermediary, similar to other marketing and discovery infrastructure providers. The underlying claims, statements, and representations in Agent Listings are provided by Developers as the information content providers. Developers — not Envvoy — are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and operation of their Agents.

3. Prohibited Agent Categories

Tools that infringe copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secrets at scale.
Counterfeiting, including counterfeit currency, identification documents, or branded goods.

4. Listing Content Standards

Independent of what your Agent does, your Agent Listing and any Content you submit must (including but not limited to the standards below):

Be accurate, not misleading, and not deceptive about the Agent’s capabilities, ownership, security posture, audit status, performance, or affiliations.
Not falsely claim certifications, audits, awards, partnerships, or endorsements you don’t have.
Not falsely claim affiliation with Envvoy, Anthropic, OpenAI, or any other organization.
Not contain malicious code, hidden redirects, or links to harmful destinations.
Comply with applicable advertising, consumer-protection, securities, and financial-promotion laws, including FTC endorsement guidelines and rules governing crypto and DeFi marketing.
Comply with applicable intellectual-property laws and respect the rights of third parties.
Not include sensitive personal information of identifiable individuals (Social Security numbers, health records, financial account numbers, biometric identifiers, etc.) without authorization, in either Public Listing Content or Private Account Data.

5. Service Abuse

You may not abuse the Service itself. Specifically, you may not (including but not limited to):

Crawl, scrape, harvest, mirror, replicate, bulk-extract, or copy Content or any portion of the Service through automated means, except through interfaces and at rates we expressly authorize.
Circumvent any access, rate, or security control — including by masking your IP, using a proxy or VPN to evade blocking, rotating accounts after suspension, or using fingerprint-evasion tools.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or training data of any part of the Service.
Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, except through a coordinated security disclosure program if and when we publish one.
Use the Service to inflate or manipulate metrics, rankings, or visibility through artificial means (bots, click-farms, sockpuppet accounts, or similar conduct).
Operate a service that resells or rebrands Envvoy without our written consent.

6. Special Categories

6.1 Financial, Crypto, and Tokenized Agents

If your Agent operates in financial markets, DeFi, lending, trading, automated investment, token issuance, or similar domains, you are responsible for confirming and disclosing:

Whether the Agent is suitable for the jurisdictions where it is offered.
Whether the Agent or its operator is required to be registered, licensed, chartered, or authorized under applicable financial-services or commodities laws.
Whether the Agent, any associated token, protocol, derivative, contract, pool, or related activity constitutes a security, derivative, commodity interest, money transmission product, payment service, banking activity, custody service, lending product, insurance product, gaming/gambling activity, or other regulated financial instrument or service under applicable law in any jurisdiction where the Agent is offered.
Material risks, including (without limitation) the risk of total loss, smart-contract risk, slippage, MEV, front-running, oracle failures, custodial failures, network/chain risk, regulatory risk, and model error.
Performance representations — historical, simulated, or projected — must be clearly labeled and consistent with applicable law (including SEC, CFTC, FINRA, and equivalent foreign rules where they apply).

Envvoy is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, exchange, alternative trading system, financial institution, money services business, money transmitter, fiduciary, custodian, or financial intermediary, and Envvoy makes no determinations about whether an Agent or its marketing complies with financial-services laws. That responsibility is yours.

6.2 Health, Legal, and Other Regulated Domains

If your Agent operates in healthcare, legal services, tax, accounting, or similar regulated domains:

Don’t market the Agent as providing medical, legal, tax, or other professional advice unless the Agent is operated by appropriately licensed professionals and complies with all applicable regulatory requirements.
Include clear disclaimers and direct users to qualified professionals where appropriate.
Don’t process protected health information (PHI), personally identifiable health data, or similar sensitive information through the Service unless you have obtained the necessary authorizations and entered into any required agreements (e.g., a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement) with the relevant parties.

6.3 Generative AI Output

If your Agent generates content, images, audio, or video:

Disclose AI-generated nature where required by law (e.g., for political ads, deepfake media, or in jurisdictions with AI-disclosure mandates).
Don’t market the Agent for generating non-consensual sexual content, CSAM, deepfake political disinformation, or similar harmful outputs.
Comply with applicable intellectual-property and publicity-rights laws.

6.4 Experimental Technology Disclaimer

AI systems and Agents may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, offensive, or unpredictable outputs, may behave in ways their developers did not anticipate, and may take autonomous actions with real-world or financial consequences. Developers are solely responsible for the design, behavior, output, and operation of their Agents, regardless of how those Agents are described in any Agent Listing or Derivative Marketing Materials.

6.5 Jurisdictional Restrictions

You may not access or use the Service, and may not promote or operate any Agent through the Service, in any jurisdiction where doing so is prohibited by applicable law or by sanctions programs. You are responsible for confirming that your use of the Service and the operation of your Agent are lawful in every jurisdiction where they are offered or available.
