Acceptable Use Policy

Version 2026-11-09 · Provider: [Company name]

This policy is part of the Terms of Service. It exists to protect other people's systems, our infrastructure and the people who use the Service. Because UpTimeLine sends automated requests on your behalf, misuse can harm third parties, so we take it seriously.

1. Only monitor what you are allowed to monitor

You may create monitors only for systems you own or control, or for which the owner has given you permission to run availability checks. If a third party asks us to stop checking their system, we will do so, and you must not recreate the monitor.

2. What you must not do

You must not use the Service to:

• attack, flood, overload, scan, probe, fingerprint or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or network, or to test the security of systems without authorization;
• target private, internal or reserved network addresses, or try to bypass our protections against doing so;
• run checks at a frequency or in a way meant to degrade a target, or use several accounts to avoid plan limits or interval limits;
• send spam, phishing, deceptive or harassing messages, or direct alerts to people who did not agree to receive them or to addresses that are not yours to use;
• publish unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, deceptive or malicious content on a status page, or impersonate another person or organization;
• store or transmit malware, or use the Service to distribute it;
• interfere with, disrupt or reverse engineer the Service, bypass authentication, or access another customer's data;
• resell the Service or its alerts or status pages as a competing monitoring service without our written agreement;
• use the Service for systems whose failure could endanger life or safety as the only means of detection (see section 7.3 of the Terms);
• use the Service in violation of any law, including export, sanctions, data protection and computer misuse laws.

3. Our protections

We may limit, block or filter requests, check frequency, targets and destinations, and we may review monitors that look abusive. Automated checks may flag a monitor, but a person reviews a decision to suspend an account for abuse before it becomes permanent, except where an immediate suspension is necessary to stop ongoing harm.

4. Reporting abuse and illegal content

If you believe the Service is being used against your system, or you find illegal content on a status page, write to [abuse email]. Please include the target address, the time of the activity, and any identifying details you have. We will review reports promptly, and may remove content or suspend access.

5. Consequences

If you breach this policy we may remove content, pause monitors, suspend or terminate your account as set out in section 10 of the Terms, report unlawful conduct to the authorities, and claim compensation for the damage caused.
