Usage Policy

This Usage Policy sets out the rules for using Parallax Horizon's AI models, autonomous agents, and products, including Parallax Lumina, Smartops Copilot, and Parauxo.

This policy supplements our Terms of Service. Violations may result in content filtering, rate-limiting, account suspension, or termination, depending on severity.

You may not use our Services to generate, distribute, or facilitate content that is illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive, including scams, phishing material, or counterfeit content.

You may not use our Services to create or spread disinformation, impersonate real individuals or organizations without consent, or manipulate public opinion through inauthentic or automated activity.

You may not use our Services to generate content that sexually exploits or endangers minors, promotes self-harm, or facilitates violence against people or groups.

You may not use our Services to develop weapons, malware, or other tools intended to cause physical, financial, or technological harm.

You may not use our Services to discriminate against or harass individuals on the basis of protected characteristics.

Certain use cases carry heightened risk and require additional safeguards, human oversight, and in some cases, prior written approval from Parallax Horizon:

Medical, legal, or financial advice provided directly to consumers without professional review.

Automated decision-making that affects eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or government benefits.

Critical infrastructure management, including energy, water, or transportation systems.

Autonomous agents authorized to take real-world actions with financial, legal, or safety consequences without a human approval step.

You may probe our Services for security vulnerabilities solely through our responsible disclosure program described on our Security & Compliance page.

You may not attempt to bypass model safety systems, extract model weights or training data, or use jailbreaking techniques to circumvent usage restrictions outside of authorized red-teaming engagements.

If you deploy autonomous or semi-autonomous agents built on our platform, you are responsible for configuring appropriate permission boundaries, rate limits, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for actions with material consequences.

Agents must not be configured to misrepresent themselves as human in contexts where disclosure of automated interaction is legally or ethically required.

You may not exceed rate limits, attempt to circumvent usage-based billing, or resell access to our Services without authorization.

You may not use our Services to build a product that competes directly with Parallax Horizon's core models or platform without prior written consent.

Automated scraping of our Services or models for the purpose of training competing systems is prohibited.

We use a combination of automated classifiers and human review to detect violations of this policy. Detection methods may evolve as our systems and threat landscape change.

We may take immediate action on severe violations, including content blocking and account suspension, without prior notice. For less severe or ambiguous cases, we aim to provide notice and an opportunity to remediate where appropriate.

If you become aware of misuse of our Services, please report it to legal@parallaxhorizon.com. We review all reports and take appropriate action.

We may update this Usage Policy as our products, research, and risk understanding evolve. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by other reasonable means.
