Acceptable Use Policy

1. About this policy

This Acceptable Use Policy (the "AUP") describes what you can and cannot do on Nyza Events. It is part of, and incorporated into, our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms used here have the meanings given in the Terms. Violating this AUP can lead to suspension, termination, removal of content, refusal of refunds, and — in serious cases — referral to law enforcement.

This list is non-exhaustive: we may take action against conduct that violates the spirit of these rules even if it isn't explicitly enumerated, and we may make judgment calls based on context.

2. Prohibited events & activities

You may not plan, promote, host, or facilitate through Nyza:

• Any event that violates applicable law in the jurisdiction where it occurs — including unpermitted public gatherings, events without required licenses, underage drinking, illegal gambling, or events that breach public-health orders.
• Events that promote, glorify, or organize violence, terrorism, hate crimes, or physical harm against any person or group.
• Events that involve the sale, distribution, or consumption of controlled substances, counterfeit goods, stolen property, or other unlawful items.
• Events that exploit, endanger, or sexualize minors in any way.
• Events that involve cruelty to animals, with the exception of lawful, regulated activities (e.g., a working-dog demo at a permitted agricultural fair).
• Events designed primarily to defraud guests, vendors, sponsors, or any other party.
• Events that violate any sanctions, export-control, or anti-terrorism regime applicable to you or to Nyza.

3. Prohibited industries & ticket types

Because ticket sales and vendor payouts on Nyza settle through Stripe Connect, every event listed for paid ticketing must also comply with Stripe's Restricted Businesses list. The following categories are prohibited on Nyza regardless of jurisdictional legality:

• Firearms, ammunition, explosives, weapons — including events that sell, demonstrate for sale, or distribute these items, or that offer them as prizes, auction lots, or door incentives.
• Adult or sexually explicit content — events whose primary purpose is adult entertainment, nudity for purchase, sex-work-adjacent commerce, or pornographic media.
• Controlled substances — events involving the sale or distribution of cannabis (recreational or medical), CBD products subject to local restrictions, kratom, nitrous oxide, prescription drugs, or any substance regulated as a narcotic in the jurisdiction where the event occurs.
• Gambling and games of chance for real money — including casino-style events with cash prizes, sports-betting parties operated as a business, lotteries, raffles requiring a license you don't hold, and skill-prize tournaments that implicate state-level gambling law.
• Multi-level marketing recruitment events, get-rich-quick seminars, pyramid-scheme launches, and crypto / token / NFT presale parties that constitute unregistered securities offerings.
• Tobacco, vaping, and hookah-bar pop-ups where the ticket bundles product samples, and any event built around the sale of controlled tobacco products.
• Any event whose host appears on a US, EU, or UN sanctions list, or whose stated purpose is to evade sanctions, export controls, or anti-terrorism regulation.

If your event sits near the edge of these categories (e.g., a wine tasting with on-site alcohol sales held under a valid license, a charity raffle organized by a registered non-profit), email hello@nyzaevents.com before publishing — we will assess case by case.

4. Ticket scalping & resale abuse

• You may only list tickets to events you are hosting or are authorized to ticket on behalf of the organizer. Listing tickets to third-party events you have no rights to is fraud.
• No scalping. Don't buy tickets at face value through Nyza or elsewhere with the primary intent of reselling them at a markup — whether on Nyza or on a secondary marketplace. We may cancel tickets, refund the original purchase, and ban buyers who appear to operate as scalpers.
• Don't use bots, scripted clients, or multiple accounts to bulk-purchase tickets during a sale, to game waitlists, or to circumvent per-buyer purchase limits an organizer has set.
• Don't share or resell QR-coded tickets in ways that allow multiple people to attempt the same admission. The first redemption invalidates the code.
• Organizers may not artificially withhold inventory, create fake demand, or list "VIP" tiers that don't exist in order to manipulate buyer behavior.

5. Spam, unsolicited messaging & guest comms

Guest communications sent through Nyza must be wanted. You must not:

• Upload contact lists you obtained without permission — purchased lists, scraped directories, conference attendee lists you don't have rights to use, or names pulled from public social media without consent.
• Send messages that are unrelated to a specific event the recipient has been invited to or has expressed interest in.
• Ignore opt-out signals. Recipients can reply STOP to any SMS or WhatsApp message; unsubscribe in any email; or contact you directly. Once they opt out you must not contact them again through Nyza.
• Use Nyza to send commercial advertising, MLM pitches, cryptocurrency promotions, political campaign material unrelated to a planned event, or any content that violates the US TCPA, CAN-SPAM, the UK PECR, GDPR ePrivacy, or local marketing-law equivalents.
• Send messages that misrepresent who they are from — e.g., using a sender name or event branding that suggests the message comes from someone other than you.
• Send messages that, in volume or content, would reasonably be considered abusive, harassing, or harassing-by-repetition.

We may rate-limit, queue, or refuse to deliver messages that appear non-compliant. We may suspend or terminate accounts that generate high spam-complaint rates from recipients, carriers, or WhatsApp.

6. Fraud, deception & impersonation

• Don't create fake events, fake guest lists, or fake RSVPs to inflate metrics or deceive vendors, sponsors, or other users.
• Don't pose as another person, business, or organization. This includes squatting on subdomains that suggest you are a celebrity, brand, or other party you are not.
• Don't initiate chargebacks for transactions you authorized. If you have a dispute, contact us first — see our Refund Policy.
• Don't use stolen payment instruments. Stripe's fraud-prevention systems monitor every transaction and disputed/fraudulent payments can result in immediate termination.

7. Harassment, hate & threats

Nyza is a place for celebrations. Don't use the Service — including DM's to vendors, guest messages, AI-generated artifacts, or public event pages — to:

• Harass, bully, threaten, dox, stalk, or intimidate any person — vendors, guests, other users, or third parties.
• Promote hatred, discrimination, or violence against people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic.
• Share private information about another person (real name, home address, workplace, contact details, immigration status, medical history) without their permission, even if it is technically available elsewhere.
• Encourage or coordinate group attacks on individuals or businesses, including pile-on reviews, mass complaints, or coordinated review bombing of a vendor profile.

8. Infringing & misappropriated content

Do not upload, generate, or distribute through Nyza any content that:

• Infringes another party's copyright, trademark, trade dress, or other intellectual property right.
• Was generated by Nyza's AI tools using prompts that copy or impersonate a copyrighted character or a real person without rights.
• Includes a recognizable real person's likeness or voice without their consent.
• Violates someone's right of publicity, privacy, or moral rights.
• Misappropriates cultural symbols, sacred imagery, or community-specific iconography in ways the originating community has objected to.
• Distributes leaked confidential information, trade secrets, or material obtained through hacking.

Rights-holders can submit takedown notices to legal@nyzaevents.com — see Terms § 9 for the DMCA process.

9. AI feature abuse

The AI co-pilot and generative-design tools exist to help you plan a great event. Don't use them to:

• Generate sexual content involving minors, or any content that sexually exploits or endangers a minor. We report this to NCMEC and law enforcement and ban accounts on first occurrence.
• Generate non-consensual intimate imagery, deepfake pornography, or images intended to defame or harass a real person.
• Produce content designed to deceive — e.g., fake news headlines, fabricated quotes attributed to real people, fraudulent "screenshots," phishing copy.
• Generate or refine extremist propaganda, instructions for weapons of mass harm, malware, or content that facilitates violence.
• Generate content that violates an AI provider's own usage policy — your prompts may be reviewed by the provider as part of their abuse-monitoring process.
• Attempt to bypass safety filters via prompt injection, jailbreaks, encoded prompts, or other adversarial techniques.
• Use the AI tools or APIs to extract Nyza's prompts, system messages, or proprietary configurations, or to benchmark/train competing AI systems.
• Generate vast volumes of synthetic content for off-platform use that exceeds the spirit of the credit allowance (e.g., spinning up images to resell, automating third-party SEO content farms).

Reminder: AI outputs may be inaccurate. You are responsible for reviewing any AI-generated content before sending it to guests or vendors, signing contracts on the basis of it, or otherwise relying on it. See Terms § 7.

10. Vendor & marketplace conduct

If you operate as a vendor on Nyza, you must also:

• Hold all licenses, permits, insurance, and certifications required to lawfully provide your services in your jurisdiction.
• Honor the pricing, availability, and scope you publish on your profile or quote in a proposal. Don't bait-and-switch.
• Don't solicit hosts to take transactions off-platform to avoid Stripe processing or to evade tax reporting — see Terms § 6.
• Don't post or solicit fake reviews. Don't pay for positive reviews, don't threaten guests who leave critical reviews, and don't mass-flag a competitor.
• Respect the privacy of hosts and guests whose contact details you receive through an inquiry — only use them for the inquiry, not for unrelated marketing.
• Don't claim a vendor profile you have no rightful authority over. Claiming another business's profile is fraud.

11. Security & technical abuse

• Don't probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of Nyza systems without our prior written permission.
• Don't attempt to access another user's account, event, or vendor profile.
• Don't bypass authentication, rate limits, abuse controls, or paywalls.
• Don't introduce malware, worms, viruses, or any code intended to disrupt the Service.
• Don't launch denial-of-service attacks, send spoofed packets, or otherwise interfere with the availability of Nyza to other users.
• Don't reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service except where applicable law expressly permits.

Researchers reporting good-faith vulnerabilities can email hello@nyzaevents.com with subject "Security:". We will not pursue legal action against research conducted in line with safe-harbor practices (no destruction of data, no degradation of service to other users, no exfiltration of others' data).

12. Data abuse & scraping

• Don't scrape the Service or our APIs at scale, except via documented APIs and within their rate limits.
• Don't crawl, index, or otherwise harvest vendor or user data to populate a competing directory or marketplace.
• Don't resell, license, or syndicate data you obtain from Nyza without our prior written permission.
• Don't use data obtained from Nyza to train an AI model that competes with the Service.

13. Reporting a violation

Spotted something that violates this AUP? Email legal@nyzaevents.com with the subject "AUP report:" and as much context as you can — URLs, screenshots, account or event handles, and a brief description. Reports involving imminent risk of physical harm should also be reported to local emergency services.

14. Enforcement & consequences

When we believe this AUP has been violated, we may, at our discretion and depending on severity:

• Remove or hide specific content;
• Throttle or block certain features (e.g., guest messaging, AI generation);
• Issue a warning;
• Suspend or terminate the account;
• Reclaim or rename a subdomain slug;
• Withhold refunds for the unused portion of any subscription period attributable to the violation, to the extent allowed by law;
• Cooperate with law-enforcement requests where required;
• Pursue legal remedies, including injunctive relief.

We typically try to notify the account holder before taking action, but we may act first when needed to protect users, the Service, our subprocessors, or third parties.

15. Appeals

If you believe we suspended or terminated your account in error, reply to the enforcement email or contact legal@nyzaevents.com with the subject "Appeal:" within 30 days. Include any evidence you'd like us to consider. A different reviewer will examine the appeal and respond, usually within 14 days.
