Acceptable Use Policy

Draft, for review by a lawyer. Covers the content users must be told not to host under rule 3(1)(b) of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and Thothica's own, wider rules for unrigid (Adnan, 4 Nov 2026: no adult content at all; fraud and illegal content lead to suspension and reporting; customers follow their own local law; government orders are obeyed; customers indemnify Thothica for their content).

Effective: [date of publication] · Version: 1

This policy is part of our Terms of Use. It applies to everyone who uses unrigid and to every website hosted on it, including everything written by Claude or any other tool on your behalf, everything your visitors submit through your website, and everything your website links to or embeds. You are responsible for all of it.

Our rules are stricter than the law in some places. Something being legal where you are does not make it allowed on unrigid.

1. Follow the law, everywhere it applies

You must follow every law that applies to you, your business and your website: the law of India, the law of the country where you or your business are based, and the law of every country your website is aimed at or does business in. If those laws differ, follow the strictest. You alone are responsible for knowing them.

2. No adult content

unrigid does not host adult content of any kind, even where it is legal. This includes:

• pornography, and any sexually explicit images, video, audio, text or animation, whether real, drawn or AI-generated;
• nudity or partial nudity presented in a sexual way;
• escort, prostitution, "massage" or other sexual services, sexual chat or webcam services, adult dating or "hook-up" services, and sugar-dating arrangements;
• sale or promotion of sexual content, or links to it, including subscription and "fan" pages;
• anything that sexualises minors in any way. Child sexual abuse material is reported to the authorities at once and the account is closed, with no exceptions.

Plain health, medical, educational, artistic or news content that is not sexually explicit is allowed. We decide what counts as adult content, and our decision is final.

3. Content you must not host, publish or share

Content that:

1. belongs to someone else and you have no right to use it;
2. is obscene, or invades another person's privacy, including their bodily privacy;
3. shows sexual abuse of children, or is harmful to children;
4. insults or harasses a person on the basis of gender, or is defamatory;
5. is racially or ethnically objectionable, promotes enmity between groups, or encourages money laundering or gambling;
6. infringes a patent, trademark, copyright, design or other proprietary right;
7. deceives or misleads people about where a message came from, or knowingly and intentionally spreads information that is clearly false or misleading;
8. impersonates another person, company, brand or government body;
9. threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with other countries, or public order; incites an offence; prevents the investigation of an offence; or insults another nation;
10. contains viruses, malware or any code designed to interrupt, damage or limit computer systems;
11. is synthetic or AI-generated media presenting a real person as saying or doing something they did not, without a clear label, or any such media made to harm, deceive or humiliate them;
12. promotes or glorifies terrorism, violent extremism, self-harm or suicide, or gives instructions for making weapons or explosives;
13. shares anyone's private information (addresses, phone numbers, identity documents, financial details) without their consent, or threatens, bullies or stalks anyone;
14. breaks any law that applies under section 1.

4. Fraud and deception

No fraud of any kind, including:

• phishing: pages that imitate a bank, payment app, government body, brand or login page to collect passwords, payment details, one-time codes or personal data;
• scams: fake shops, non-delivery stores, investment, trading, crypto, lottery, prize, loan, job, visa, charity, romance or "work from home" schemes; pyramid, Ponzi and multi-level schemes;
• fake documents and claims: forged certificates, fake degrees or IDs, fake reviews and testimonials, false health cures, and claims of licences, certifications or government approval you do not have;
• impersonation: pretending to be another business or person, or using their name, logo or look to mislead.

5. Things you must not sell, promote or arrange

Anything illegal to sell where you or your visitors are, and in any case: drugs and drug paraphernalia, prescription medicines without the licences the law requires, weapons, ammunition and explosives, counterfeit or stolen goods, hacking services, stolen data or accounts, wildlife products, human organs, gambling or betting services (unless licensed where you operate and your visitors are, and we agree in writing), and services that help others evade the law (such as fake identity documents or exam cheating).

6. Misusing personal data

Collecting visitors' personal data without a lawful basis and a privacy notice; selling, renting or sharing visitors' personal data without their consent or another lawful basis; using it for purposes your privacy notice does not state; or collecting passwords, card numbers, one-time codes or government identity numbers through site forms.

7. Misusing unrigid itself

• Spam: using forms, invites, site offers or our email to send unsolicited messages, or to collect addresses for spam.
• Malware and abuse: hosting or linking malware; command-and-control servers; cryptocurrency mining in visitors' browsers; open redirects for abuse.
• Attacking the service: probing, scanning or testing our systems' security without our written permission; trying to reach other customers' data; getting around limits, suspensions, bans or payment; overloading the service on purpose; creating accounts to escape a suspension.
• Reselling: selling access to unrigid itself without our written agreement. (Building and handing over websites for clients is welcome; see website transfers in our Terms.)

8. Orders from governments and courts

If a court, or a government or authority with power over us, orders us to remove, block or stop something, we will do it, as quickly as the order requires (for Indian orders, within the time the IT Rules set), without asking you first and without refund. Where it has power over the matter, this includes orders from the country where you or your visitors are, and we may block a website in one country only. Where the law allows and it is safe to, we will tell you what we did. We also keep information and content the law requires us to keep (for example, for 180 days after removal under the IT Rules) and hand it to authorities when lawfully required.

9. What happens if you break these rules

We may, at our discretion and without notice:

• remove or disable content, or take a website offline;
• suspend or close your account and every website in it;
• refuse future accounts from you;
• report you and the content to the police, CERT-In, the relevant regulator or other authorities, in India or in your country, and share the information the law allows or requires;
• keep any fees you have paid: no refund is due for websites or accounts we suspend or close for breaking this policy, except where the law requires one.

You may also be liable under the law, including the IT Act, 2000, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, and the laws of your own country.

10. You are responsible, and you indemnify us

You are solely responsible for your websites, everything on them and everything done through them. If your content, your website or your conduct leads to any claim, complaint, investigation, order, fine, penalty, takedown, legal proceeding or loss against Thothica, you must defend Thothica and pay all of it, including our legal fees and the cost of complying with any order, as set out in section 16 of our Terms. This applies whoever brings the claim: a visitor, a customer of yours, a rights holder, a regulator, a court or a government, in India or anywhere else.

11. Reporting

To report a website hosted on unrigid, or an email you did not expect from us, write to our Grievance Officer at siraj@thothica.com or use "Report it" in the email. See Contact for the time limits we work to. Reports of child sexual abuse material are acted on at once.

We remind every user of these rules at least every three months.
