Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (this “Policy”) sets out the rules that apply to your use of the websites and the GP Platform operated by Graphical Playground (“GP” or “Graphical Playground”) (together, the “Services”). This Policy is incorporated into, and forms part of, the Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service. Rules specific to content you post that is visible to other users, such as forum posts and shared project submissions, are set out in the Content Moderation Policy, which applies in addition to this Policy.

1. Prohibited Uses

1.1. You will not, and will not permit any Authorized User or third party to, use the Services to:

(a) violate any applicable law or regulation, including French, EU, or other export control and sanctions laws referenced in Section 9.12 of the Terms of Service;

(b) gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or network, including by circumventing authentication, probing for vulnerabilities, or exceeding authorized access to another Customer’s Content, other than security research conducted in accordance with the Security Disclosure Policy;

(c) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services, including through denial-of-service attacks, excessive automated requests, or intentionally overloading GP’s cloud rendering or compilation infrastructure;

(d) transmit, upload, or execute malware, ransomware, or code designed to damage, disable, or gain unauthorized access to any system, including through Customer Content submitted for compilation or rendering;

(e) use GP’s cloud computing credits or rendering infrastructure for any purpose unrelated to learning, developing, or evaluating graphics engineering work on the GP Platform, including cryptocurrency mining, hosting unrelated workloads or services, or providing compute capacity to third parties;

(f) scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the Services using automated means, other than through an API GP has expressly authorized for that purpose;

(g) circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits, rate limits, paywalls, or seat restrictions applicable to your account or plan;

(h) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the proprietary components of the Services, except as permitted under Section 2.2 of the Terms of Service;

(i) share Authorized User credentials with, or provision access on behalf of, anyone other than the individual to whom the account was issued, other than as expressly permitted under Section 2.4 of the Terms of Service;

(j) send unsolicited bulk communications, spam, or phishing messages using the Services or to GP’s users;

(k) impersonate GP, a GP contributor, or another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; or

(l) submit, on a certification attempt, work that is not substantially your own, or otherwise compromise the integrity of GP’s certification, as further described in Section 6 of the Refund Policy.

2. Fair Use of Cloud Computing Resources

2.1. Cloud computing credits and rendering infrastructure included with a subscription are provided for fair, good-faith use consistent with typical learning and project workflows on the GP Platform. GP may throttle, queue, or temporarily suspend access to shared infrastructure for an account whose usage pattern degrades performance for other Customers, and will notify the affected account where reasonably practicable.

3. Reporting a Violation

3.1. If you become aware of a violation of this Policy, report it to abuse@graphical-playground.com. Reports concerning content visible to other users should be submitted through the process described in Section 2 of the Content Moderation Policy. Reports concerning a security vulnerability should be submitted under the Security Disclosure Policy instead of this Policy.

4. Enforcement

4.1. A violation of this Policy is a material breach of the Terms of Service. GP may investigate suspected violations and take any action described in Section 8.2 of the Terms of Service, including suspending or terminating the responsible account, in addition to any action available under the Content Moderation Policy for User Content.

5. Changes to This Policy

5.1. GP may update this Policy from time to time. GP will post the most current version at graphical-playground.com/legal/acceptable-use and will provide reasonable advance notice of any material change, consistent with Section 9.1 of the Terms of Service.
