Acceptable Use Policy

Effective starting: January 10, 2017

Lowis provides its customers with knowledge, tools and support to carry their security projects and day-to-day activities. In this respect, we created a series of apps to boost your productivity and give you meaningful data which will help you to become more efficient.

To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.

This Acceptable Use Policy was created to deal with “misuse” or “abuse” cases. Under this policy, we reserve the right to remove content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.

You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all websites owned or operated by Lowis (and any related websites, sub-domains and pages) as well as any apps and other hosted services operated by Lowis.

Here’s what we won’t allow:
Disruption

- Compromising the integrity of our systems. This could include probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network that hosts our services.

- Tampering with, reverse-engineering, or hacking our services, circumventing any security or authentication measures, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the services, related systems, networks, or data

- Modifying, disabling, or compromising the integrity or performance of the services or related systems, network or data

- Deciphering any transmissions to or from the servers running the services

- Overwhelming or attempting to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on our systems that consume extraordinary resources (CPUs, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), such as:
  - - Using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time by using a normal browser
  - - Going far beyond the use parameters for any given service as described in its corresponding documentation

Consuming an unreasonable amount of storage in a way that’s unrelated to the purposes for which the services were designed

- Accessing or searching any part of the services by any means other than our publicly supported interfaces (for example, “scraping”)

In this Acceptable Use Policy, the term “content” means: (1) any information, data, text, software, code, scripts, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or other materials that you post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the services and (2) any other materials, content, or data you provide to Lowis or use with the Services.
