Acceptable Use Policy
1. What Bylinewise is for
Bylinewise is for authors who check and sign what they publish.
2. What you may not do
Do not use it, through the portal or the API, to:
- build the voice of a person without their consent, or pass off text as written by someone who did not write it;
- generate text in bulk for search engines, publish without review or run an autopilot that publishes for you;
- make text look human-written to get past AI detectors;
- write work that you will submit for a grade or a qualification;
- publish claims about real people or companies that you have not checked, or anything defamatory, hateful or illegal;
- upload texts you have no right to use;
- get around the service's limits, its spend limits or the robots.txt and blocks of the sites it reads;
- attack the service, probe it for weaknesses or share an API key with people outside your account.
3. When the policy is broken
We may suspend an account or revoke a key that breaks this policy, and we tell you why.
