Hundreds of thousands of customers use Shimbi Labs products*. We are proud to give them a better way to work. We also recognize that technology is an amplifier: it can enable the helpful and the harmful. That's why we've established this policy. If you have an account with any of our products, you can't use them for any of the restricted purposes listed below. If we find out you are, we reserved the right to terminate your account and take legal action.

Restricted purposes
  • Child exploitation, sexualization, or abuse: We don't tolerate any activities that create, disseminate, or otherwise cause child abuse. Keep away and stop. Just stop.
  • Doxing: If you are using Shimbi Labs products to share other peoples' private personal information for the purposes of harassment, we don't want anything to do with you
  • Infringing on intellectual property: You can't use Shimbi Labs products to make or disseminate work that uses the intellectual property of others beyond the bounds of fair use.
  • Malware or spyware: Code for good, not evil. If you are using our products to make or distribute anything that qualifies as malware or spyware — including remote user surveillance — begone.
  • Phishing or otherwise attempting fraud: It is not okay to lie about who you are or who you affiliate with to steal from, extort, or otherwise harm others.
  • Spamming: No one wants unsolicited commercial emails. We don't tolerate folks (including their bots) using Shimbi Labs products for spamming purposes. If your emails don't pass muster with CAN-SPAM or any other anti-spam law, it's not allowed.
  • Cybersquatting: We don't like username extortionists. If you purchase a Shimbi Labs product account in someone else's name and then try to sell that account to them, you are cybersquatting. Cybersquatting accounts are subject to immediate cancelation.
  • Violence, or threats thereof: If an activity qualifies as violent crime in the United States or where you live, you may not use Shimbi Labs products to plan, perpetrate, or threaten that activity

We've outlined these restrictions to be clear about what we won't stand for. That said, this list is by no means exhaustive. We will make changes over time.
