PORTFORK

Acceptable Use Policy

Effective May 25, 2026 · Version 1.0

This Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”) describes how You may — and may not — use Portfork’s services. It is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service.

1. The principle

Portfork hosts the apps Your AI agents build — running them 24/7 in isolated microVMs that scale to zero. We expect that almost every legitimate use is ordinary professional and personal computing: web apps, APIs, scheduled jobs, internal tools, automation. The use we want to prohibit is narrow, specific, and described below.

2. Prohibited use

You may not use Portfork or Portfork Cloud to:

  1. Break the law. Activity that is illegal in the jurisdiction where You operate, where Your app’s data resides, or where Portfork’s infrastructure is located.
  2. Hurt people. Hosting apps that generate, process, or distribute content that incites or facilitates physical harm to a person, group, community, or population. This includes targeted harassment.
  3. Exploit children. Any content sexualizing minors, in any form, under any pretext. Zero tolerance and immediate referral to law enforcement under applicable mandatory-reporting laws.
  4. Enable mass surveillance. Operating an app as a component of a mass-surveillance system that monitors individuals without their knowledge or lawful basis.
  5. Conduct credential abuse. Use Portfork to store, distribute, or operationalize credentials You do not have authorization to use.
  6. Break out of isolation. Attempt to escape Your microVM, reach another tenant’s apps or data, or subvert the per-tenant separation of Portfork Cloud. The platform is designed to keep tenants isolated; trying to defeat that is a violation of this AUP.
  7. Distribute malware. Host apps that store, propagate, or execute malicious code targeting other Portfork users or third parties.
  8. Spam or abuse our infrastructure. Excessive automated traffic that degrades service for other customers, network amplification, or denial-of-service against Portfork or third parties. Crypto-mining and similar abuse of hosted compute are not permitted.
  9. Reverse-engineer for competitive purposes. Open Source Portfork is AGPL-3.0 — You are explicitly allowed to fork, modify, and self-host it. The commercial Portfork Cloud control plane is not part of that licence; You may not reverse-engineer it for the purpose of building a competing managed service.
  10. Use the service for AI-generated content meant to deceive. Hosting apps that create or distribute AI-generated content represented as being from a real person without that person’s consent.

3. Enforcement

Suspected violations are reviewed by the Portfork security and trust team. We try hard to assume good faith and to ask before we act. Enforcement is driven by:

  • third-party reports;
  • abuse of operational systems (e.g. traffic anomalies, resource abuse);
  • mandatory-reporting obligations.

When we determine that a violation has occurred, our remedies — in order of severity — are:

  1. Notice and request to remedy.
  2. Suspension of the offending app or account.
  3. Termination of the offending app or account.
  4. Referral to law enforcement, where required by law.

4. Reporting abuse

Email abuse@portfork.com. Reports are reviewed within one business day.

5. Changes

We may update this AUP from time to time. Material changes are announced at least 30 days in advance via the email address on file for Your Portfork Cloud account.
