The acceptable use policy we generate for you will include a default list of generally acceptable and unacceptable uses of a website or mobile application. These rules ensure misuse of your platform and work to shield your business against legal action.
Our acceptable use policy generator will include a default list of user-generated content that is not allowed to be posted, transmitted, or uploaded onto your website or mobile application.
Our generator will spell out the potential actions you will take when a user violates your policy, giving you a basis to take that action.
It may be impossible for you to monitor all user-generated content on your platform. Because of this, your acceptable use policy will provide users with a way to report any inappropriate user-generated content.
Here are some additional rules you can add to your acceptable use policy using our generator:
While you can use your AUP as a standalone policy, it is best used together with your Terms of Service. If your product is missing a ToS, you can generate one with Termly.
An acceptable use policy works best when it is paired together with a terms of service agreement. If you’re missing a ToS, you can create one with Termly.

If there’s a chance that users could misuse your app, you need a clear and enforced acceptable use policy. Many popular apps, such as Dropbox and several Google Cloud apps, include acceptable use policies.
If your website is simply a portfolio of your work, you may not need an AUP. However, if it is a web-based service with users needing access to different website functions, you will need an AUP.
Like an acceptable use policy, a term of use includes the rules the user should follow to access the site and penalties for breach of that agreement. An AUP is narrower, laying out the appropriate way for the website or network to be used.
