Acceptable Use Policy

1. Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) governs your use of the Pyor desktop and web applications and the website at pyor.review (together, the “Services”). It supplements, and is part of, our Terms of Service; capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given there. By using the Services you agree to use them only as set out below.

Pyor is a client-side tool: the app communicates directly with GitHub from your device using your own credentials, and there is no Pyor-operated server that receives your code. That architecture does not lessen your responsibility for how you use the Services — the rules below still apply in full.

2. Prohibited uses

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to, use the Services to:

• Break the law or infringe rights. Engage in any unlawful activity, or process, store, or transmit material that infringes a third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
• Distribute malware or attack others. Create, host, or transmit malware, ransomware, or other harmful code, or use the Services to probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to any network, system, or account.
• Abuse or circumvent GitHub’s limits. Abuse, evade, or attempt to circumvent GitHub’s API rate limits, quotas, or terms — including by scripting around Pyor, falsifying credentials, or generating automated traffic GitHub does not permit.
• Breach others’ privacy or security. Attempt to access, intercept, or compromise data, credentials, or systems you are not authorised to access, or harvest others’ personal data without a lawful basis.
• Resell or sublicense Pyor. Rent, lease, resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Services available to third parties except as expressly permitted in writing by us.
• Reverse-engineer the Services. Decompile, disassemble, or reverse-engineer the Services, or attempt to derive their source code, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
• Violate any third party’s rights. Use the Services in any way that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates the contractual, intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.

3. Your GitHub responsibilities

Pyor acts on GitHub on your behalf, with the access you grant it. Because of that:

• You must comply with GitHub’s terms, policies, and Acceptable Use Policies. Nothing in Pyor overrides them, and a use that GitHub prohibits is prohibited here too.
• You choose and control the scopes of the GitHub personal access token (or other credentials) you connect. Grant only the access you need, and review or revoke it on GitHub at any time.
• You are responsible for everything done with your credentials through the Services. Keep your token confidential, and revoke it on GitHub if you believe it has been exposed.

4. Enforcement

If we reasonably believe you have violated this AUP, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part. We aim to act in proportion to the severity of the violation and the risk it poses: where it’s practical and appropriate, we’ll give notice and a chance to fix the problem; where a violation is severe, unlawful, or poses an imminent risk to others or to the Services — for example active abuse of GitHub’s systems or an attempt to compromise others’ security — we may act immediately and without prior notice. Suspension or termination under this AUP does not limit any other right or remedy available to us, and does not relieve you of charges already incurred.

5. Reporting abuse

If you believe someone is using Pyor in breach of this policy, tell us at abuse@pyor.review. Please include enough detail for us to identify and assess the issue. To report a security vulnerability in the Services, use the channel on our Security page or email security@pyor.review. Conduct that breaches GitHub’s own terms should also be reported to GitHub.

6. Changes

We may update this Acceptable Use Policy as the Services and the law evolve. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date above and bump the version. Material changes will be given prominent notice (for example on the site or by email), and your continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy where the law allows.
