Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) sets the rules for using Graunt, a marketplace for source-backed, rights-aware, machine-usable data packets and access products. It applies to everyone who uses Graunt — buyers, sellers, and the agents and tools acting for them — and it forms part of the Terms of Service. Graunt is operated from the United States; you are responsible for compliance with the laws that apply to you.

The document this summarises

This page is a plain-language summary. The binding document is the full Acceptable Use Policy, currently version 1.11, effective November 8, 2026. Read the exact text. New acceptances are recorded against those exact bytes by their SHA-256. If you accepted an earlier version, your record stays pinned to the version you were shown. You can request that version from support@graunt.com.

Rights and content

Do not upload, list, sell, or distribute material you do not hold the rights to. Do not infringe or misappropriate intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contract, or other rights. Do not misrepresent the rights, provenance, license terms, or contents of a packet. Do not list unlawful content, content that exploits or endangers minors, or content whose distribution is prohibited by law.

Personal and sensitive data

Do not upload or sell personal data without a lawful basis and the rights to do so, and do not list sensitive personal information — such as government identifiers, financial-account numbers, precise health data, or credentials — in violation of law or another person's rights. Biometric identifiers or templates, such as face-geometry templates or voiceprints, and images or recordings of people labeled with their names or other identities, are never listed. Declare personal-data characteristics accurately so buyers can evaluate a packet before purchase.

People on camera

Video, images and audio that show or record people who can be identified may be listed when the listing declares their release status: Evidence on file (each identifiable person signed a release, and the seller holds them), Seller attested (the seller attests that each signed one), or Incomplete (some people who appear only incidentally, such as passersby, have not, and the listing says so). Every identifiable person who is a subject of the content has signed a release. Content in which no one can be identified is declared Not applicable. A person under 18 who can be identified and is a subject of the content may appear only with Evidence on file and a release signed by a parent or guardian; one who appears only incidentally has their face blurred or is cut out.

No one may use footage of people from Graunt to imitate a person's face, body or voice, to clone a voice, or to make a deepfake of a real person, and no one may use it for face recognition, biometric identification or biometric templates.

AI-generated content

Every new listing says whether its content is AI-generated: not AI-generated, partly AI-generated, or wholly AI-generated. Footage an AI model upscaled, or extended or filled in with generated frames, is partly AI-generated; editing recorded material with ordinary tools, such as cutting, color correction or stabilization, does not make it AI-generated. A declaration that understates how much of a listing is AI-generated is misleading metadata: Graunt may take the listing down, refund its buyers, record a strike and suspend the seller's account.

Security and platform integrity

Do not upload malware or attempt to breach, probe, or disrupt the security of Graunt or its users. Do not scrape, crawl, or use the marketplace or its APIs outside the access you actually hold, and do not exceed rate limits, evade access controls, or share credentials, API keys, or access passes. Do not put secrets in URLs. Do not interfere with marketplace evaluation, reviews, pricing, or other users' use of the Service.

Honest marketplace conduct

Do not manipulate listings, evaluations, reviews, or rankings; do not create deceptive or duplicate listings; and do not use Graunt to facilitate fraud, money laundering, or other illegal activity. Use of automated agents is welcome within the access you hold and these rules; it does not expand your rights or excuse a violation.

Buyer requests

A request asks sellers for data and obliges no one to buy or sell: a sale happens only when the buyer buys a listing at its price. A request carries no contact details, does not name the buyer or its client, and asks for no personal data about individuals and nothing this policy bars. Graunt may hold a request for review, or remove it with a reason the buyer sees. Anyone who sees an amount or a budget a buyer shows only to registered sellers uses it only to decide whether and how to answer, and keeps it confidential.

Enforcement

Graunt may remove or change the status of listings, restrict or revoke access, withhold or reverse payouts on affected sales, and suspend or close accounts to enforce this Policy — including on suspected infringement, fraud, or rights violations. Enforcement is a marketplace-policy action; it is not a legal determination, and it does not limit any other rights or remedies Graunt or affected parties may have. Repeat infringement is handled under our repeat-infringer policy.

Reporting a violation

If you believe a listing or account violates this Policy or your rights, contact support@graunt.com with the listing URL, the account or seller name if known, and a short description. When reporting, do not send secrets, credentials, passwords, payment details, or unnecessary sensitive personal information. For intellectual-property notices, see our copyright and DMCA policy.

Changes and governing law

Graunt may update this Policy. A material change takes effect 30 days after it is published on this page; other changes take effect when published. Where an update requires renewed acceptance, Graunt may ask you to accept the updated Policy before your next gated marketplace action; continued use after a change otherwise means you accept the updated Policy. This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except to the extent your local non-waivable consumer, privacy, payment, or other statutory rights apply.
