Acceptable Use Policy

Introduction

Jalapeno Labs was created to help entrepreneurs and small businesses launch, grow, and scale their products. Our goal at Jalapeno Labs is to over-deliver on every possible front for our users. Jalapeno Labs has users all over the world and we take pride in maintaining a platform that demonstrates respect, tolerance, and acceptance for each and every user on the platform. To that effect, we have set forth stringent guidelines and requirements through this Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) to reduce spam and abuse on the Jalapeno Labs platform.

Definitions

The following definitions apply to our AUP:

“Platform” is the entire platform of services, products, and other offerings operated and made available to Users through our website, www.jalapenolabs.io, and any other website owned, operated, or controlled by Jalapeno Labs. Any new features, tools, or offerings that are hereinafter created or released will be considered as part of the Platform and subject to the AUP.

“User” is an end user, customer, or subscriber of our products and offerings.

Your Responsibility

All Users are ultimately responsible for their account activity and adherence to this AUP while using the Platform. This AUP, in conjunction with the Jalapeno Labs Terms of Service and applicable statutes, rules, and regulations, governs your use of the Platform and the activities that are prohibited while using the Platform.

Prohibited Activities

The following activities on the Platform are prohibited:

• PCI DSS Compliance. All activities by Platform Users shall be conducted in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements. This includes all uploads, communications, and handling and storage of credit card data.
• Illegal Business Activity. Any promotion of illegal business activity, including without limitation multi-level marketing (except in compliance with the FTC’s Business Guidance Concerning Multi-Level Marketing), promoting the sale or use of illegal drugs, or infringing the intellectual property rights of another. You may not offer, promote, or post goods or services that contravene the laws of the jurisdictions in which you operate or do business.
• Personal, Confidential, and Protected Health Information. You may not post or upload any materials that contain personally identifiable information, sensitive personal information, or confidential information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank account numbers, or account passwords, unless you have consent from the person to whom the information belongs. You may not use the Platform to collect, store, or process any protected health information subject to HIPAA or any other applicable law.
• Offensive Communications. Any communication sent, posted, or authorized by you which is sexually explicit, obscene, vulgar, or pornographic; offensive, profane, hateful, threatening, harmful, inciting, defamatory, libelous, harassing, or discriminatory; misleading, false, or misinforming; graphically violent; or solicitous of unlawful behavior.
• Spamming and Unsolicited Communications. We have zero tolerance for spam and unsolicited communications. Any communications reasonably deemed “spamming,” or any other unsolicited solicitations, will be deemed a material threat to Jalapeno Labs’ reputation and to the rights of third parties. It is your obligation to ensure that all business communications comply with state and local anti-spamming laws.
• Harmful or Prohibited Acts. Any dishonest or unethical business practice; any violation of the law; infliction of harm to Jalapeno Labs’ reputation; hacking and other digital or physical attacks on the Website; scraping, crawling, or otherwise copying content on the Website without permission; introducing, transmitting, or storing viruses or other malicious code; interfering with the security or operation of the Website; framing or mirroring the Website; gathering intelligence for a competitive offering; and the violation of the rights of Jalapeno Labs or any third party.

Reporting AUP Violations

Jalapeno Labs takes reports of AUP violations seriously. If a User comes across content that the User believes is a violation of this AUP, the User can file an abuse report at [email protected]. To better assist Jalapeno Labs in its investigation, please include the URL of the content being reported as well as any context regarding the User’s reason for reporting the content.

Consequences of Violating Our AUP

Jalapeno Labs reserves the right to make final and unappealable decisions regarding investigation, enforcement, suspension, and termination of User accounts. This reservation of rights is in addition to all rights and remedies available to Jalapeno Labs under applicable law.

User access to the Platform may be immediately suspended as a result of such User’s violation of this AUP. Additionally, Jalapeno Labs may immediately terminate a User’s account when certain incurable violations occur. If a User is suspended, the User will be unable to use the Platform until the User has complied with all remedial actions requested by Jalapeno Labs. We will use reasonable efforts to notify a suspended account holder of such suspension and how the User can remediate the violation.

In the event that a User violates our AUP incurably or materially, Jalapeno Labs may terminate such User’s account immediately, with no right to appeal. Any related accounts of a terminated User may be terminated with such information and data being permanently erased. We may have an obligation to report certain illegal activities if required by law.

If you wish to request reconsideration from Jalapeno Labs regarding enforcement actions resulting from a violation of this AUP, you may make such request by emailing the Compliance team at [email protected].
