Web3 Files Network — Acceptable Use Policy

Acceptable Use Policy — clear rules to protect users, the network, and the platform

Acceptable Use Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Company: Web3 Files Network

Plain-English Summary: Web3 Files Network helps you send data to IPFS and manage your CIDs. You control what you upload. We provide tools — not a place to abuse, exploit, or harm others.

1. What We Provide

Web3 Files Network assists users with uploading data to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). Once uploaded, IPFS returns a Content Identifier (CID). We store and display CIDs in your account so you can organize, reference, and manage your content.

We control our website, dashboards, gateways, indexing tools, pinning services, and account access. We do not control IPFS itself.

2. You Are Responsible for Your Content

You are solely responsible for any data you upload, reference, or distribute.
You must have the legal right to upload and distribute the content.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Services to:

Upload or distribute illegal content;
Infringe copyrights, trademarks, or intellectual property rights;
Distribute malware, spyware, ransomware, or malicious code;
Host or promote scams, fraud, or deceptive schemes;
Engage in harassment, abuse, or threats;
Exploit minors or distribute sexual abuse material;
Attempt to bypass limits, billing systems, or access controls;
Use automation or scripts to abuse free or paid resources;
Resell or redistribute Services without authorization.

4. Fair Use of Free and Paid Services

We proudly offer a free plan and optional premium upgrades. Abuse of either tier is not permitted.

Free plans may not be used to circumvent paid features.
Paid plans may not be used briefly for extraction or resale followed by refund abuse.
Excessive or abusive usage may result in throttling, suspension, or downgrade.

5. Enforcement

If we believe this policy has been violated, we may take action including:

Disabling access to specific CIDs or tools we control;
Removing content from indexing, search, or gateway services;
Downgrading accounts to the free tier;
Suspending or terminating accounts;
Reporting unlawful activity when legally required.

6. Copyright & DMCA

Copyright claims are handled under our DMCA Policy. Because IPFS is decentralized, our actions are limited to services we operate.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Acceptable Use Policy as the platform evolves. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
