From your answers to a published Acceptable Use Policy.
The Acceptable Use Policy Generator asks what your service does and what you do not allow, and writes the rules with your report address and your enforcement steps.
A clear way to report abuse
The policy gives the email address for reports and lists what a report includes, so each report arrives with the details you need to act on it.
Ready for the Digital Services Act
The policy adds the report details and the statement of reasons the Digital Services Act asks for when users in the EU post content on your service. It adds a 6-month appeal when you offer one.

Frequently asked questions.
Read the answers to the most common questions about the Acceptable Use Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy Generator before you sign up.
What is an Acceptable Use Policy?
An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a page that lists what people are not allowed to do with your website, app or online service.
It forbids uses such as spam, fraud, harassment, malware and attacks on your systems, and adds the rules for your type of service, such as API limits or content standards.
It explains how people report a violation, what you do when someone breaks the rules, and how they appeal your decision.
Is the Acceptable Use Policy Generator free?
Yes, the Acceptable Use Policy Generator from TermsFeed is free to use.
A one-time purchase or a paid plan removes the TermsFeed credits link and adds more features, such as downloads and the Text Editor.
Do I need an Acceptable Use Policy?
No law asks for an Acceptable Use Policy by name, and most services where people store, post or send content publish one, because the law asks for the rules it holds.
The EU Digital Services Act asks every online service to state in its terms the rules it applies to the content of its users (Article 14). A service that hosts that content accepts reports of illegal content (Article 16) and tells users why it removes their content or closes their account (Article 17).
Outside the EU, an Acceptable Use Policy gives you clear grounds to suspend an account that sends spam, scrapes your service or attacks your systems.
Answer the questions of the Acceptable Use Policy Generator, then link the result from your Terms and your sign-up form.
What does an Acceptable Use Policy include?
An Acceptable Use Policy includes the uses you forbid, the rules for your type of service, and how you enforce them.
It adds the sections that apply to your service: content standards for communities, email and text message rules, API and automated access, AI features, hosting resources and resale.
It ends with how people report a violation, the steps you take against an account, how users appeal, and how to contact you.
What is the difference between an Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service?
Terms of Service set the whole agreement with your users, and an Acceptable Use Policy sets out what they're not allowed to do.
Terms of Service cover accounts, payments, liability and termination. The Acceptable Use Policy lists the forbidden uses in detail, and your Terms of Service link to it.
Create your Terms of Service with the Terms of Service Generator.
How do I create an Acceptable Use Policy?
You create an Acceptable Use Policy by answering the questions of the Acceptable Use Policy Generator.
Choose your website or app, then enter your business details and the ways people contact you. Next, choose your type of service and the uses you forbid, and set how you handle reports and violations.
TermsFeed writes the policy and hosts it on a free page, ready to link from your Terms, your sign-up form and your footer.
