Acceptable Use Policy

The conduct and content that are not allowed on Vocaic, the voice-specific rules, and the limits on relying on the product.

1. Prohibited conduct and content

You must not use Vocaic to break the law or to harm others. This includes:

  • Unlawful activity, or content that infringes intellectual property, privacy or other rights.
  • Hateful, harassing, threatening or abusive content, or content that promotes violence or discrimination.
  • Sexual content involving minors, or any exploitation of children.
  • Malware, phishing, fraud, deceptive schemes, or attempts to compromise accounts, devices or systems.
  • Sharing content you are not entitled to share, or another person’s personal information without a lawful basis.

2. Voice, Listen and agent rules

Vocaic changes how words are delivered across modes, languages and accents, and Vocaic Listen translates the speech around you. You must not:

  • Deceptively impersonate a real person or organization, or present an AI delivery voice as a specific real individual’s voice.
  • Record, transcribe or re-voice another person without the consent that applies where you and they are located; recording and consent laws vary by place, and following them is your responsibility.
  • Use Vocaic Listen to secretly record or capture people. Listen is for understanding speech around you with the knowledge of those speaking; respect the recording, privacy and consent laws that apply wherever you use it.
  • Use the accent and voice features to mock, demean or harass a person or group.
  • Present Ava, the AI guide, assistant and room agent, as a human, or rely on her answers as professional advice. Ava is AI and can be wrong.
  • Publish a voice to the Voice library, or build an agent, that claims to be or imitates a real person, or present an agent you build as a human.
  • Use a Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram or Discord integration to send unsolicited messages, or to message people who have not agreed to hear from you there.

Delivery voices are Vocaic voices and are never cloned from users; do not represent them otherwise.

3. No reliance for safety-critical or professional decisions

Vocaic is a communication aid, not an emergency, medical, legal or financial service. Machine translation and speech recognition can be wrong. Do not use Vocaic for emergency communications or for safety-critical, medical, legal or other decisions where an error could cause harm. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services directly.

4. No abuse of the service

Do not exceed or evade the rate limits that protect the shared service, scrape content at abusive scale, probe or attack the infrastructure, or interfere with other people’s use. Automated access that degrades the service for others is not permitted. Legitimate security research is welcome under the responsible-disclosure process on the Security page.

5. Enforcement

Vocaic may remove content, limit features, or suspend or end access to protect the service and other people, as described in the Terms of Use. Serious or illegal activity may be reported to the appropriate authorities. To report misuse, contact agarw574@purdue.edu.
