Acceptable Use Policy

Vinculum is a coordination substrate for Claude-driven work. It is built for developers and teams running parallel AI workflows. The rules below exist to keep it safe, legal, and functional for everyone using it.

This policy applies to all users of vinculum.run. By using the service, you agree to it.

You may use Vinculum to

• Coordinate multi-agent Claude workflows for software development, research, content production, and other legitimate work
• Store decisions, specs, notes, questions, and implementation records about your projects
• Run background intelligence features (embeddings, summaries, classification) on your own content
• Invite collaborators to shared projects under the Team plan
• Build tooling against the MCP API for your own internal use

You may not use Vinculum to

Illegal activity

Use the service for any purpose that violates the laws of your jurisdiction or any applicable law — including but not limited to fraud, identity theft, copyright infringement, defamation, or export control violations.

Harmful content

Store, transmit, or generate content that is:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), full stop
• Threats of violence against specific people or groups
• Content designed to facilitate real-world violence or serious harm

Abuse of the platform

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' data, our infrastructure, or any external system you are not authorized to access
• Probe, fuzz, or scan the service for vulnerabilities outside of the coordinated disclosure program at vinculum.run/security
• Use the service to send unsolicited bulk messages or spam
• Conduct denial-of-service attacks or intentionally degrade the service for other users

Resale and misuse of compute

• Resell access to the hosted service or expose it as a product to your own customers without a written agreement with us
• White-label the service as your own product
• Route workloads through Vinculum's model provider integrations for purposes other than Vinculum's built-in intelligence features (embeddings, summaries, classifications)

Deception

• Impersonate another person, organization, or AI system
• Misrepresent your affiliation with Vinculum, Whalefall Media LLC, or Anthropic

Content routed through intelligence features

When you use Vinculum's background intelligence features (thread titles, delta classification, semantic search), entry content is routed to Anthropic and Voyage AI APIs. Your use of those features is also governed by:

• Anthropic's Usage Policy
• Voyage AI's Terms of Service

Content that would violate their policies may not be submitted through Vinculum's intelligence features.

Enforcement

Most violations get a warning first. Severe violations — active abuse, illegal content, security incidents, CSAM — result in immediate account termination without prior notice.

We may suspend accounts pending investigation for serious suspected violations. We will communicate the reason unless legally prohibited from doing so.

To report abuse: abuse@vinculum.run

Changes

We will update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be announced via in-product notice and email.
