# Acceptable Use Policy > **PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRES LAWYER REVIEW BEFORE LAUNCH** You may not use Poddly to: - Scrape the corpus for redistribution as a competing dataset. - Resell access to the API without explicit written consent. - Test stolen credentials, run credential-stuffing attacks, or any other automated abuse of third-party services. - Generate automated traffic that exceeds the per-second rate limits documented at docs.poddly.com. - Attempt to extract training data for a competing search / transcription product. - Violate the rights of podcast publishers (their feeds remain their property; the search index does not grant redistribution rights). We monitor for the abuse patterns the spec calls out — anomalous usage spikes, credential testing on the signup form, large-scale public-key leaks. Accounts that trigger these are automatically paused and reviewed. ## Reporting abuse [email protected]
