This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) governs use of the LedgerBrain Site and Services. It is incorporated by reference into the LedgerBrain Terms of Use. Capitalised terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Use.
1. Purpose

2. Prohibited uses
You must not, and must not allow any third party to:
2.1 Unlawful or harmful activity
- use the Services for unlawful activity, including money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud, or terrorist financing;
- use the Services to facilitate wrongdoing or to conceal unlawful activity.
2.2 Security and interference
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, Services, accounts, systems, or networks;

- use multiple accounts or keys to evade restrictions, limits, or charges.
2.4 Scraping, bulk extraction, or harvesting
- scrape the Site or Services (including automated extraction of content, screens, Outputs, or documentation) in any manner that violates access controls, exceeds normal usage patterns, or degrades performance;
- perform high-volume or systematic querying intended to compile or harvest Outputs at scale, except as reasonably necessary to create Compliance Records in the ordinary course of compliance and audit functions;
- use bots, spiders, crawlers, headless browsers, or automated means to access the Services except where expressly permitted via documented APIs and within applicable Rate Limits and Credit Schedules.

- cache or store Outputs in a way that replicates or substitutes for the Services (including creating a searchable database of Outputs), except for retention within Compliance Records and other retention required by law, regulation, or audit obligations;

2.6 Reverse engineering or competitive use

2.7 Resale / service bureau / third-party offering
resell, white-label, or provide the Services or Outputs to third parties as a service bureau unless expressly authorised in an Order Form.
2.8 Misrepresentation, improper reliance, or public display
- present Outputs as definitive determinations of illegality or compliance outcomes;
- use Outputs as the sole basis for adverse, high-stakes, or customer-impacting decisions without appropriate human review, corroboration, and investigation;

2.10 Automated agents
You must not use agents, scripts, wallets, API clients, or automated workflows to evade pricing, usage limits, rate limits, authentication, security controls, sanctions controls, duplicate-payment controls, or other restrictions. You are responsible for ensuring that any automated system you control complies with this AUP.
3. Monitoring and enforcement
Sixpence may monitor usage to enforce this AUP, protect the Services, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. If Sixpence reasonably believes you have violated this AUP, Sixpence may suspend or terminate access and/or take other appropriate action under the Terms of Use.
