Acceptable Use Policy

TrendSuite drafts and schedules content at your direction. You are the publisher — this policy sets out what you may not publish through the Service, and the responsibilities you take on when you do publish.

Last updated: 2026-07-26.

This policy is part of the Terms. It is incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference (Section A.6). Breaching it is a material breach of your agreement with us and may result in immediate suspension or termination.

1. Who this applies to

This policy applies to everyone who uses TrendSuite: account holders, every member of a team or agency workspace, and anyone acting on your behalf using your credentials or API keys. If you manage content for clients, you are responsible for your clients’ content published through your workspace, and for ensuring the people you invite follow this policy.

2. What you may not publish or do

You may not use TrendSuite to create, schedule, publish, or distribute any of the following. This list gives concrete examples; it is not exhaustive, and conduct that is obviously abusive is prohibited whether or not it is named here.

Unlawful content and activity

Anything that breaks the law where you are, where your audience is, or where the platform operates — including fraud, illegal products or services, sanctions evasion, and the sale of regulated goods without the licences that sale requires.

Unlicensed regulated advice

Medical, legal, financial, tax, or investment advice presented as professional guidance where you do not hold the licence, registration, or qualification your jurisdiction requires. Regulated sectors carry disclosure and substantiation duties that AI-drafted copy does not satisfy on its own.

Deceptive or unsubstantiated marketing

False or misleading claims, fake scarcity, undisclosed paid endorsements, health or earnings claims you cannot substantiate, and comparative claims about competitors you cannot evidence.

Fabricated reviews, testimonials, and endorsers

Generating or publishing a review, testimonial, case study, quote, or endorser persona that presents an experience nobody actually had. An AI-drafted testimonial has no underlying personal experience and cannot be substantiated. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials prohibits this outright and carries civil penalties per violation; where a synthetic persona, voice, or likeness endorses you, its AI origin must be disclosed separately from any sponsorship disclosure.

Impersonation and misattribution

Posing as another person, brand, or organisation; publishing content under a name or account you are not authorised to use; or presenting fabricated statements as those of a real person.

Infringement of third-party rights

Publishing copyrighted work, trademarks, likenesses, music, or images you do not have the rights to use, and disclosing confidential or personal information about others without a lawful basis.

Harassment, hate, and threats

Content that harasses, defames, threatens, or incites violence against any person or group, or that targets protected characteristics.

Spam and inauthentic behaviour

Unsolicited bulk messaging, engagement farming, coordinated inauthentic activity, and any automation that exceeds what the destination platform's rules permit.

Content involving minors or sensitive categories

Content that sexualises or exploits minors, and marketing that targets minors with age-restricted products such as alcohol, tobacco, vaping, gambling, or adult services.

Violations of connected platform rules

Anything that breaches the terms, community standards, advertising policies, or automation limits of a platform you connect to TrendSuite. Those rules bind you directly and can change without notice.

Abuse of the Service itself

Circumventing rate limits, access controls, credit allotments, or tier restrictions; scraping the Service outside the authorised API; reselling output in breach of your plan; or using the Service to train competing machine-learning models.

3. Responsibilities you take on as the publisher

Because you decide what is published and when, the following are yours to satisfy. TrendSuite does not perform any of them for you and does not check whether you have:

  • Advertising and consumer-protection law, including disclosure of paid partnerships, sponsorships, affiliate links, and material connections (for example the FTC Endorsement Guides, 16 CFR Part 255, in the US, ASA/CAP rules in the UK, and their equivalents elsewhere).
  • Truthfulness of endorsements and testimonials. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials prohibits fake or AI-fabricated reviews, testimonials, and endorser personas, and carries civil penalties per violation. An AI-drafted testimonial has no underlying personal experience and cannot be substantiated — never publish one as if a real customer said it.
  • Disclosure that an endorser is AI-generated where a synthetic persona, voice, or likeness is used. Under the FTC Endorsement Guides this is a separate disclosure from any sponsorship disclosure — one is not a substitute for the other.
  • Sector-specific regulation that applies to your business — such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, financial services, insurance, legal services, gambling, alcohol, cannabis, childcare, and education.
  • Labelling or disclosure of AI-generated or synthetic content where a law, regulator, or platform requires it. In the EU, Article 50(4) of the AI Act (applying from 2 August 2026) requires deployers who publish AI-generated text to inform the public on matters of public interest to disclose that it is artificially generated — unless the content has undergone human review and a person holds editorial responsibility for it. Reviewing what you publish is therefore both good practice and, in the EU, the thing that changes your obligation.
  • Disclosure of AI-generated or manipulated images, audio, and video that depict real people, places, or events (deep fakes), which Article 50(4) of the EU AI Act requires deployers to disclose.
  • Substantiation of every factual, performance, pricing, health, safety, or earnings claim you publish.
  • Intellectual property clearance for all text, images, video, music, fonts, likenesses, and trademarks in your posts.
  • Data protection law when your content or targeting involves personal data, including obtaining any consent your jurisdiction requires.
  • Anti-spam and electronic-messaging law for any direct message, email, or bulk communication you send (for example CAN-SPAM, CASL, PECR, and GDPR).
  • The terms, community standards, and automation rules of every platform you connect and publish to.
  • Record-keeping, archiving, and supervisory-review obligations if your industry imposes them.

If you operate in a regulated sector, assume that AI-drafted copy does not meet your regulator’s standards without your own review, substantiation, and — where required — supervisory sign-off and record-keeping.

4. Reviewing before you publish

Content you create is held as a draft and does not publish until you schedule it. Once scheduled, it stays visible in your calendar and queue and can be edited or cancelled at any point before it sends. Reviewing it in that window is your responsibility.

Automation features that publish on a cadence do not ask you to approve each post. They place posts in your queue ahead of their send time so you can review them, but nothing is held back waiting for your approval and we do not check whether you looked. Enabling such a feature is your decision, and you remain fully responsible for everything it publishes on your behalf. If you need every post reviewed before it goes out, schedule posts yourself rather than enabling automation.

5. Disclosing that content is AI-generated

Everything the Service drafts is AI-generated. Where disclosure of that is required, the duty falls on you as the publisher, not on the tool that drafted it. Two regimes matter most for the kind of content TrendSuite produces:

European Union — AI Act Article 50

From 2 August 2026, a deployer who publishes AI-generated text to inform the public on matters of public interest must disclose that it is artificially generated, and must disclose AI-generated or manipulated images, audio, or video depicting real people, places, or events. There is an important exemption: it does not apply where the content has undergone human review and a person holds editorial responsibility for it. Reviewing what you publish is therefore not only good practice — in the EU it is what changes your obligation.

United States — FTC Endorsement Guides and the Reviews Rule

Where an endorser is AI-generated — a synthetic persona, voice, or likeness — its AI origin must be disclosed clearly, and separately from any sponsorship disclosure. Fake or AI-fabricated reviews and testimonials are prohibited outright under the FTC’s Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials, which carries civil penalties per violation.

Platforms impose their own labelling rules on top of the law, and they change without notice. Working out which rules apply to you, and satisfying them, is your responsibility. We may offer disclosure wording, but we do not warrant that it satisfies any particular regulator or platform.

6. Reporting a violation

If you believe content published through TrendSuite breaches this policy — including content that infringes your rights — report it to legal@trendsuite.ai. Please include the content in question, where it was published, and the reason you believe it violates this policy. Note that content published to a third-party platform lives on that platform: we can act on the account that created it, but removal from the platform itself may need to be pursued through that platform’s own reporting process.

7. How we enforce this

Where we reasonably believe this policy has been breached, we may — at our discretion and in proportion to the severity — issue a warning, remove or refuse to publish specific content, disable a feature or an automation, suspend the account, or terminate it. For severe breaches, including unlawful activity, exploitation of minors, or conduct that puts other users or our infrastructure at risk, we may act immediately and without notice.

We may also be required to preserve records or disclose account information in response to a valid legal request. Enforcement under this policy does not entitle you to a refund, and it does not limit any other remedy available to us under the Terms or at law.

We do not proactively monitor or screen the content you generate or publish. Acting on one report does not create an obligation to detect or act on anything else, and does not make us the publisher of, or responsible for, your content.
