Website Acceptable Use

1. Scope

This notice covers visitors to DealDot’s public website and use of its forms or other public channels. It is separate from acceptable-use restrictions that may apply to paid client services or a hosting provider’s systems. A service engagement must identify any additional restrictions that apply.

2. Lawful and respectful use

Use the site to read information, explore services and make legitimate inquiries. Do not use it to harass, threaten, discriminate unlawfully, impersonate a person or business, misrepresent authority, or submit unlawful or deceptive material.

Do not submit stolen content, fabricated evidence, malware, secrets belonging to another party or personal information you are not authorized to share. A business inquiry must not conceal a phishing, spam or fraudulent purpose.

3. Protecting systems and channels

Do not bypass access controls, probe private interfaces without authorization, exploit vulnerabilities, flood forms, distribute malware or interfere with other users. Do not use automated submissions to defeat anti-spam measures or overload services. Respect applicable intellectual-property rights and restrictions on copying content.

Normal lawful browsing, link sharing and permitted search indexing are not prohibited by this notice. Automated activity that creates material disruption or accesses nonpublic information may be restricted. Permission to view a public page is not permission to test its infrastructure.

4. Sensitive information and emergency use

The forms are not intended for passwords, payment-card records, medical details, private customer files or emergency reports. If an engagement requires confidential materials, use an agreed transfer channel.

Do not rely on a public form for immediate response or urgent safety assistance. If there is an immediate danger, use appropriate emergency channels rather than an inquiry to a media-services business.

5. Responses to misuse

DealDot may reject submissions, rate-limit requests or restrict access where necessary to protect systems, address abuse or comply with law. Technical measures should be proportionate, and legitimate reports should be reviewed when practicable. Applicable legal duties may require preservation or disclosure of relevant records.

A website restriction does not automatically terminate a client engagement. Service suspension or termination follows that engagement’s terms and any necessary security or legal requirements.

6. Reporting a concern

For ordinary website concerns, use the Contact page and describe the page, issue and relevant time. Do not exploit a suspected vulnerability to demonstrate it, collect unrelated information, or post access credentials. A dedicated security-reporting contact and process may be established later; this draft creates no bounty program or response-time promise.
