We expect all clients to work with us in good faith.

Communicate clearly and honestly. Provide accurate business information, content, and credentials when requested.
-
Treat our team with respect. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, threats, or abusive communication toward any WebEaze team member.
-
Do not make unauthorized changes. If we manage your site, do not modify the platform, code, or settings without letting us know first. Unauthorized changes may cause issues we are not responsible for fixing. See
Can I manage my own website?
-
Do not share login credentials without notice. If you need a third party to access your site or platform, inform us first.
-
Do not add unauthorized third-party scripts. Custom code, tracking pixels, or plugins added without our knowledge may break your site. We are not liable for resulting damage.
-
Do not misuse support. Support is for website-related needs. Excessive off-topic requests, repeated submissions for the same issue, or attempts to circumvent fair-use limits are not permitted. See our
Fair Use Policy.
Section 5
Content Rules
You are responsible for the content you ask us to publish on your website.
-
You own and are responsible for your content. Text, images, logos, and other assets you provide must be legally yours to use.
-
No copyright-infringing material. Do not ask us to publish images, text, or media that you do not have the rights to.
-
No misleading or false claims. Content must accurately represent your business, products, and services. We will not publish false testimonials, fabricated reviews, or deceptive pricing.
-
No content that violates applicable law. This includes consumer protection regulations, FTC disclosure requirements, and state or federal advertising laws.
-
Legal pages are your responsibility. Privacy policies, terms of service, and disclaimers you ask us to publish must be reviewed by your own legal counsel. We can help create basic versions but do not provide legal advice. See
Legal Pages.
Section 6
Confidentiality
We respect your privacy and the confidentiality of your business information.
We keep your information confidential. This includes any sensitive information, trade secrets, or proprietary content you share with us. Your information will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent, except as required by law.
If you have a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in place, we will honor its terms and ensure that your confidential information is protected accordingly, as long as it does not conflict with our
Confidentiality clause or legal obligations.
In addition to our general confidentiality practices, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own information. Ensure that any content you provide does not violate the confidentiality of others or infringe on intellectual property rights.
Section 7
Enforcement
We will take the following approaches, up to and including termination of your account, if you violate this AUP:
-
Warning. For minor violations, we'll notify you and request corrective action before taking further steps.
-
Content removal. We may remove or refuse to publish specific content that violates this policy without affecting your overall plan or account.
-
Immediate termination. For serious violations, we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately without notice or refund.
Termination due to an AUP violation does not entitle you to a refund. See our
Refund Policy for details.
