In addition to the general prohibitions above, you must not use the AI Features of the Services to:
generate, distribute, or seek information designed to provide operational uplift to weapons of mass destruction or to large-scale cyber attacks on critical infrastructure;
generate or facilitate the unauthorised practice of regulated professions (legal, medical, mental-health crisis intervention, financial, tax) where the AI output is presented as a substitute for licensed professional advice;
perform biometric categorisation, emotion-recognition inference, or any inference about an individual’s race, ethnicity, political opinions, trade-union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, or health, in each case where prohibited or restricted under Article 5 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act or analogous applicable law;
conduct social-scoring of individuals or groups in a manner prohibited by Article 5 of the EU AI Act;

generate or distribute disinformation, manipulated media, or content designed to influence elections, public-health communications, or other matters of public interest through false attribution to identifiable persons or institutions.
You acknowledge that AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or unsuitable for your intended use, that you are solely responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on, publishing, sharing, or using them, and that you will not rely on AI Features as a substitute for professional advice.
5. Account integrity

share account credentials with any other person, except as expressly permitted by the Services or by a separate written agreement with Skrib;
create or maintain accounts using false, misleading, or stolen identity information;

transfer or sell access to an account except as expressly permitted by Skrib in writing.
6. Security research
Skrib welcomes good-faith security research conducted in accordance with the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy at https://skrib.com/security/vdp. Subject to that Policy, Skrib will not pursue legal action under the Terms or this AUP against a researcher who, in good faith and consistently with the Policy: identifies a security vulnerability, makes a reasonable effort to avoid privacy violations and disruption to others, reports the vulnerability promptly to Skrib through the channel identified in the Policy, and refrains from public disclosure until Skrib has had a reasonable opportunity to remediate.
This Section does not authorise testing on third-party systems or on systems Skrib does not control, and does not waive any rights of third parties.
7. Reporting violations
If you become aware of a violation of this AUP, please report it to contact@skrib.com or through the notice-and-action form at https://skrib.com/legal/notice-and-action. Reports concerning intellectual-property infringement should be submitted under the DMCA / IP Complaints Policy at https://skrib.com/legal/dmca. Reports concerning illegal content from users in the European Union may also be submitted under Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act through the same notice-and-action page.
8. Enforcement
Skrib may, at any time, investigate suspected violations of this AUP and take any action it considers appropriate, including:
removing, restricting, or disabling access to content;
limiting, suspending, or terminating an account or access to particular features;
preserving records relevant to the violation;
notifying affected users or rights holders;
reporting matters to service providers, payment institutions, or law-enforcement or regulatory authorities; and
pursuing other remedies available under applicable law or the Terms.
Where Skrib takes a moderation action in response to illegal content notified by an EU user under the DSA, Skrib will provide a statement of reasons under Article 17 of the DSA. Affected users may submit complaints concerning moderation decisions through Skrib’s internal complaint-handling system at https://skrib.com/legal/notice-and-action under Article 20 of the DSA.
9. Survival
This AUP applies from the moment you first access or use the Services and continues to apply for so long as you continue to use the Services. Sections 7 (Reporting Violations) and 8 (Enforcement) survive any termination of your account.
