Acceptable Use Policy

1. Permitted use

You may submit records for which you have lawful authority — including business records, operational evidence, credentials, permits, safety records and other documents your organisation is entitled to hold and verify.

2. Prohibited content

• Content that is unlawful under Australian law.
• Child sexual abuse material or content that sexualises minors.
• Content that infringes another person's copyright, moral rights, trade marks or confidential information without authority.
• Personal information of others submitted without a lawful basis (see APP 3 and the Privacy Notice).
• Malware, exploits, or content designed to compromise the Suite or its users.
• Content intended to deceive a court, regulator, auditor or counterparty about the origin, timing or integrity of a record.
• Sanctions-restricted content or content that would breach Australian export controls.

3. Prohibited conduct

• Attempting to alter, delete or reorder Ledger entries other than through supported correction workflows.
• Attempting to forge, replay or misrepresent Receipts.
• Probing, scanning, load-testing or attacking the Suite without prior written authorisation (see the Responsible Disclosure Policy for authorised testing).
• Bypassing rate limits, quotas or tenant isolation.
• Using the Suite to send unsolicited commercial electronic messages (Spam Act 2003) or to conduct calls in breach of the Do Not Call Register.
• Sharing credentials, or allowing verification actions to be attributed to a user other than the person performing them.

4. Evidence-before-data principle

Sovereign Suite operates on an evidence-before-data principle: the original evidence is preserved in the immutable raw layer and the Ledger records only integrity and provenance metadata. Attempts to submit content you do not have the right to have preserved may violate this Policy and third-party rights.

5. Consequences

Breach of this Policy may result in suspension or termination of access, reversal of downstream entitlements, cooperation with law enforcement, and civil recovery for loss caused. The Ledger record of a breach may itself be preserved as evidence.
