Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of the ReviewX platform and is incorporated into our Terms of Service. Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund.
1. Overview
ReviewX is designed to help hospitality businesses legitimately monitor and analyse publicly available guest reviews from supported platforms. You agree to use the Service only in ways that are lawful, ethical, and consistent with these guidelines.
This policy applies to all users of ReviewX, including individuals, teams, and organisations on any subscription tier.
2. Prohibited Uses
The following activities are strictly prohibited:
Scraping or mirroring competitor services
Using ReviewX infrastructure, API access, or crawl capabilities to retrieve data from platforms not in our supported list, or to build a competing review aggregation product without our written consent.
Spam and unsolicited communications
Using review author data or contact information retrieved via the Service to send unsolicited bulk emails, SMS messages, or other marketing communications without the recipient's explicit consent. This includes review response spam.
Illegal or harmful content
Uploading, transmitting, or storing unlawful content, including material that infringes intellectual property rights, constitutes defamation, incites hatred, or violates applicable privacy laws.
Account sharing and multi-user abuse
Sharing a single account among multiple individuals, reselling account access to third parties, or creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits. Each active user requires their own licensed account.
Reverse engineering or circumventing security
Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise discover the source code or underlying algorithms of the platform. Circumventing rate limits, authentication, or access controls is strictly prohibited.
Fraudulent or misleading use
Using the Service to manipulate review data, fabricate review responses, or misrepresent review metrics to third parties (e.g., investors, auditors, guests).
Excessive or abusive API calls
Making API requests at a rate that disrupts service for other users, or deliberately triggering crawl jobs in a manner designed to circumvent data volume limits associated with your subscription tier.
Data aggregation for surveillance or profiling
Using retrieved review author data to build profiles of individuals, to track individuals across platforms, or for any purpose incompatible with the original intent of the review publication.
3. Enforcement
We take a proportionate, graduated approach to enforcement. Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, we may take the following actions:
Warning
For first-time or minor violations, we will contact you by email explaining the breach and requesting immediate cessation. You will have 7 days to respond and resolve the issue before further action is taken.
Temporary Suspension
If the violation is not resolved after a warning, or if the violation is of moderate severity, we may temporarily suspend your account access while we investigate. Access will be restored once the issue is resolved to our satisfaction.
Termination
For severe violations — including illegal activity, deliberate security circumvention, or repeated breaches — we will terminate your account immediately without refund. We reserve the right to report illegal activity to relevant law enforcement authorities.
In all cases we will attempt to notify you prior to action, except where doing so would compromise an investigation or create a security risk.
4. Reporting Violations
If you become aware of a potential AUP violation — whether by another user or via misuse of our platform — please report it promptly:
What to include
A description of the suspected violation, any relevant account identifiers or URLs (if available), and the date and time you observed the issue. Reports are treated confidentially and we will acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this AUP from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
