By using the Services or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you would rather not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Services.
1. Changes to the Terms of Service
We may revise and update these Terms occasionally in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
2. General Terms
These terms apply to all users of any part of the Geekflare Services.

5. Acceptable Use Policy
This acceptable use policy covers the products, services, and technologies provided by Geekflare under any ongoing agreement. It is designed to protect us, our customers, and the wider Internet community from unethical, irresponsible, and illegal activity. It forms part of these Terms.
Customers found engaging in activities prohibited by this policy may have their access suspended and their account terminated. In serious cases we may be legally obliged to report the activity to the relevant authorities.
5.1. Fair use
We provide our facilities with the assumption your use will be "business as usual", as per our offer schedule. If your use is considered to be excessive, then additional fees may be charged, or capacity may be restricted.
We are opposed to all forms of abuse, discrimination, rights infringement, and any action that harms or disadvantages any group, individual, or resource. We expect our customers and, where applicable, their users ("end-users") to engage our products with similar intent.
5.2. Customer accountability
We regard our customers as responsible for their own actions and for the actions of anyone using our products with the customer's permission. This responsibility also applies to anyone using our products on an unauthorized basis as a result of the customer's failure to put in place reasonable security measures.
By accepting products from us, our customers agree to ensure adherence to this policy on behalf of anyone using the products as their end-users. If a customer or their end-user violates this policy, we reserve the right to terminate any products associated with the offending account or the account itself, or to take any remedial or preventative action we deem appropriate, without notice.
5.3. Prohibited activities
You must not use the Services, or allow anyone else to use the Services, to:
- Break the law, or help another person break the law.
- Generate, request, store, or distribute child sexual abuse material in any form, or any content that sexualises a minor. We report this activity to the relevant authorities.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or incite violence against any person or group, or promote hate speech or discrimination.
- Send unsolicited bulk messages, phishing, or any other form of spam, or harvest contact details for that purpose.
- Create, distribute, or command malware, ransomware, botnets, or any other malicious code.
- Infringe copyright, trademark, database, trade secret, or any other intellectual property right.
- Collect, process, or resell personal data unlawfully, including special category data as defined by the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR.
- Misrepresent your identity, impersonate any person or organisation, or obscure the origin of your traffic to evade a block or a rate limit.
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services, or use them to build a product that competes directly with Geekflare.
5.4. Systems, networks, and target websites
Our APIs and Tools reach systems that belong to other people. You may use them only against systems you own or have explicit permission to assess, and you must not:
- Scan, probe, or test the security of a system without the owner's authorisation.
- Attempt a denial-of-service attack, or send volumes of traffic that degrade a target's service.
- Bypass authentication, paywalls, or any access control, or defeat a measure a site uses to restrict automated access beyond the ordinary operation of our Services.
- Circumvent our own rate limits, credit accounting, or account restrictions, or probe our infrastructure for vulnerabilities outside a channel we have invited you to use.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services against a third-party website complies with that website's terms, its robots.txt directives, and the laws that apply to it.
5.5. Enforcement and reporting
Where we can, we will contact you before acting and give you a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue. If the activity is serious, ongoing, or exposes us or a third party to risk, we may suspend or terminate access immediately and without notice. Suspension for a breach of this policy does not entitle you to a refund.
If you believe someone is using our Services in breach of this policy, please tell us through our contact page with enough detail for us to investigate.
