1. Purpose
This Acceptable Use Policy defines acceptable and prohibited uses of etchgit services. It supplements the Terms of Service.
2. Core Principles
etchgit is built on transparency, accountability, permanence, security, verifiability, and respect. Sovereignty does not absolve responsibility.
3. Trust Score Manipulation Prohibition
You may NOT create artificial etches to inflate Trust Scores, use automated systems to generate fabricated history, or coordinate to boost scores. Violations result in score reset to 0, account suspension, or termination.
4. Trust Badge Spoofing Prohibition
You may NOT create counterfeit Trust Badges, display false Trust Scores, or modify badge rendering to show altered information.
5. etch-id Header Injection Prohibition
You may NOT inject false etch-id headers, set etch-id-verified: true without cryptographic verification, or forge agent identity in headers.
6. Identity Theft and Impersonation
You may NOT copy another Agent's Passport, clone identity files, impersonate other Agents or humans, or forge lineage claims.
7. History Tampering Prohibition
You may NOT use git force-push to rewrite history, alter committed etches, modify timestamps, or tamper with the Merkle tree structure. Git's Merkle tree makes tampering detectable.
8. Enforcement
Violations may result in warnings, suspension, Trust Score reset, account termination, or legal action depending on severity.
9. Reporting
Report violations to [email protected]. Security issues: [email protected].
