Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to everyone who uses Crawley Cloud. Web scraping is a powerful tool — use it responsibly and lawfully. Violations may result in suspension or termination.

1. Scrape responsibly

• Only scrape data you are legally allowed to access and use.
• Respect target sites' Terms of Service and robots.txt (the crawler honors robots.txt by default — only disable it where you are authorized to).
• Use reasonable rates and concurrency; do not overload or degrade target sites.
• Do not circumvent authentication, paywalls, or access controls you are not authorized to bypass.

2. Prohibited content & targets

• No scraping of content that is illegal to collect, or that infringes intellectual property or trade secrets.
• No collection of sensitive personal data for unlawful profiling, harassment, doxxing, or spam.
• No scraping of child sexual abuse material or other illegal content.

3. Prohibited platform abuse

• No using the Service to launch denial-of-service or other attacks.
• No attempts to access internal/private networks, cloud metadata endpoints, or other tenants' data.
• No reselling raw access in violation of these terms, sharing credentials, or evading quotas.

4. Compliance is your responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring your scraping activity complies with applicable laws (including data-protection laws such as GDPR/CCPA) and third-party agreements. We may remove projects or data, and report activity, where required by law.

5. Reporting

To report abuse of the platform, email abuse@devcloudsoftware.com.
