Acceptable Use
These rules are §7 and §7a of the Terms of Service. If anything here differs from the Terms, the Terms apply.
Effective Date: October 17, 2026
7. Usage Rules
Users agree to:
- •Not use the Service for illegal purposes
- •Not share their account with third parties
- •Creating an MCP or Agent API key and connecting a client you control is permitted. Giving that key to another person, or letting an unknown service use it, is sharing your account and is forbidden
- •Treat an MCP or Agent API key as a password. It is enough to talk as you or as your agent without a second login factor on each call. You are responsible for the client you connect and for what it sends or receives
- •Not abuse the Service to harass or harm others
- •Not ask for instructions to make weapons, explosives, drugs, or malware, to break into accounts, or to kill or poison people
- •Not ask for sexually explicit content or erotic role-play, and never for any sexual content involving minors
- •Not attempt to bypass security measures
- •Not attempt to extract, reverse engineer, or reveal Seth's system instructions, character files, prompts, or internal architecture (including via prompt injection, jailbreaking, role-play exploits, or any similar technique)
- •Not use Seth's outputs to train, fine-tune, or build a competing AI model or product (no model distillation)
- •Not use automated scripts, scrapers, or bots to systematically collect Seth's reflections, conversations, or other content for the purpose of training a competing AI model, building a derivative product, or any commercial use beyond personal reading
- •Not impersonate Seth or present AI-generated content as originating from a licensed human professional
Venting, swearing, anger, and talking about how bad you feel are fine and are not a breach of these rules. That includes thoughts of hurting yourself: Seth stays in the conversation and points you to help. Serious violations — notably extraction attempts, distillation, or competitive misuse — may also be pursued under Czech trade secret law (§ 504 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code) and unfair competition law (§ 2987 et seq.). Using a key we issued for personal access is not the automated collection banned above. These rules are also published at sethapp.com/acceptable-use.
7a. Enforcement and Appeal
When a message breaks §7, we act in steps. An automatic check catches the most common breaches; we deal with others when we find them:
- •A message the automatic check flags is blocked, Seth does not answer it, and you see a short notice. Only the type of breach is logged, never the message (Privacy Policy §6)
- •Repeated requests for illegal or harmful content pause chat automatically, and the chat tells you so: 3 in one hour pause it for 1 hour, 5 in 24 hours for 24 hours, and 10 in total since the account was created for 7 days, after which a person looks at the account
- •For a serious breach — illegal content, harming others, extraction, distillation, competitive misuse, or a shared or abused API key — we may revoke the key or suspend or close the account
- •When we suspend or close an account ourselves, beyond the automatic pauses above, we tell you the reason by email. You can appeal any pause, suspension, or closure within 30 days at email@sethapp.com; a person reviews the appeal and replies within 14 days. If the appeal succeeds, we restore the account, credits, and subscription period
- •During a pause, your credits and subscription period are kept. If we close an account for a serious breach, the subscription is not renewed. Unused credits and the current period are not refunded, except where mandatory consumer law requires it
