Acceptable Use Policy

The rules that keep Shivo useful, available and safe for teams writing specs.

Last updated · October 23, 2026

01

Overview

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) explains what is and is not allowed when using Shivo. It protects users, the Service, and the people and organizations whose plans may be described in a spec.

02

Authorized Content Only

Submit descriptions and documents only when you wrote them, are authorized to share them, or have a lawful basis to use them with Shivo. Do not submit another organization's confidential material without permission.

03

Prohibited Conduct

  • Using Shivo to violate laws, regulations, contracts or third-party rights
  • Attempting to access another user's account, specs, reviews or workspace
  • Bypassing rate limits, quotas, authentication, authorization or security controls
  • Generating specs intended to plan harmful, deceptive or unlawful activity
  • Scraping, benchmarking or bulk-exporting the Service without written permission
  • Interfering with the availability, integrity or performance of the Service
04

Security Testing

Good-faith security research is allowed only when it follows the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy. Do not run denial-of-service tests, access other users' data, or test systems outside the stated scope.

05

AI and Output Use

Generated specs, lint findings and acceptance criteria are drafts to help you plan. You are responsible for reviewing and validating them before your team builds from them.

06

Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend, limit or terminate access when needed to protect the Service or other users. We will try to give notice when practical, but urgent security or abuse situations may require immediate action.
