Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: May 7, 2026

DevCloudDesk is built for legitimate DevOps and infrastructure operations. This policy explains what is allowed, what is prohibited, and how we respond to abuse.

Authorized infrastructure only

  • You may use DevCloudDesk only with servers, accounts, cloud projects, networks, repositories, databases, and systems you own or are explicitly authorized to administer.
  • You must not use DevCloudDesk to access, test, scan, probe, or control third-party systems without written permission.

Prohibited security abuse

  • No malware, ransomware, botnets, phishing kits, credential theft, exploit delivery, command-and-control activity, or unauthorized persistence.
  • No vulnerability scanning, brute forcing, scraping, denial-of-service activity, or traffic tunneling against third-party systems unless it is part of an authorized engagement.
  • No use of DevCloudDesk as a public proxy, anonymizer, circumvention tool, spam relay, or general-purpose tunneling service.

Files, deployments, and automation

  • You must not upload or deploy illegal content, stolen data, malicious scripts, or materials that violate third-party rights.
  • Automation must stay within plan limits and must not overload DevCloudDesk, connected servers, or third-party services.
  • Shared access features, where available, may be used only for authorized collaborators and may not be posted publicly for uncontrolled access.

Email and notifications

  • DevCloudDesk email is limited to transactional account, billing, support, security, and infrastructure alert messages.
  • Customers cannot send arbitrary email campaigns through DevCloudDesk. Bulk email, unsolicited marketing, harvested lists, and spam are prohibited.
  • Marketing communication from DevCloudDesk, if used, requires opt-in consent and includes opt-out instructions.

Enforcement

  • We may rate-limit, disable features, suspend accounts, preserve logs, or terminate access if activity appears harmful or violates this policy.
  • We may report illegal activity to hosting providers, payment providers, email providers, law enforcement, or affected third parties when required.
  • Report abuse to abuse@devclouddesk.com with timestamps, affected hosts, logs, and any relevant evidence.
