Acceptable use
What Base Captain, its bases, agents and workflows may not be used for. It is part of the terms, and binds every user of every base.

Not allowed
- Illegal content.
- Keeping, publishing or sending anything that is illegal where you or the people it reaches are.
- Others’ rights.
- Breaking others’ copyright, trade marks or other rights, or their privacy: keeping personal data you have no right to keep.
- Others’ systems.
- Reaching systems or data you are not allowed to reach, probing or overloading them, or using Base Captain to attack anyone, us included.
- Spam.
- Sending messages people did not ask for, from a base’s emails, forms or agents.
- Malware.
- Storing or spreading software meant to harm, spy on or take over anyone’s device or data.
- Deceiving people.
- Passing off a business as someone else’s, collecting passwords or payment details under false pretences, or hiding that people are talking to an AI.
- Getting around limits.
- Working around the limits, budgets or access rules of Base Captain or of a base, or reselling access to it without our agreement.
Agents that judge people
- Work.
- Choosing whom to hire, filtering applications or ranking candidates; deciding promotions, dismissals or the terms of work; giving out tasks by people’s behaviour or traits; watching or evaluating how workers perform or behave.
- Education.
- Deciding who is admitted to education or training, grading learning, or watching students during tests.
- Credit and essential services.
- Scoring people’s creditworthiness, pricing their life or health insurance, or deciding their access to public benefits or to essential private or public services.
An agent or a workflow may not take or prepare these decisions about people. They are the high-risk uses of Annex III of the EU AI Act, which ask for duties Base Captain is not built to meet. Agents may still help with the work around them, such as scheduling interviews or drafting a letter a person checks and sends.
When it is broken
Anyone can report it, from the base or by email (Report abuse). A person reads each report. We may ask the base’s owner to fix it, remove what breaks the rules, or suspend the base or the user; we tell the owner why and how to contest it, as the report abuse page describes. We report what the law requires us to report.
