Acceptable Use Policy
ShellAccess is for legitimate managed-device administration and troubleshooting. This page sets the baseline for the kinds of activity the service is intended to support and the kinds of activity it is not.
Permitted use
- administration, support, troubleshooting, and recovery work for devices and tenants you are authorised to manage;
- testing, pilots, and internal evaluation carried out in good faith within your own organisation or an authorised customer environment; and
- use of ShellAssist — the AI layer built into every ShellAccess session — to understand terminal output, propose bounded next checks, or support legitimate investigations inside an authorised session.
You must not use ShellAccess to
- gain or attempt to gain access to devices, tenants, accounts, or data without authorisation;
- deliver malware, ransomware, credential theft, persistence tooling, or other offensive payloads;
- exfiltrate secrets, credentials, customer data, or other sensitive material unlawfully or outside approved business need;
- interfere with, disable, probe, or overload the service, its infrastructure, or another tenant's environment;
- use the service in support of fraud, harassment, unlawful surveillance, or any other illegal activity; or
- circumvent platform controls, tenant limits, audit controls, or session protections that are part of the product boundary.
ShellAssist-specific boundaries
ShellAssist is intended to support legitimate terminal investigations. It must not be used to probe hidden instructions, bypass product safeguards, automate credential abuse, or generate unsafe command sequences for unauthorised activity.
Customer responsibility
You remain responsible for the commands run through the service, the devices you connect to, and the permissions granted inside your tenant. ShellAccess does not take over your internal approval, change-management, or security-review obligations.
Enforcement
ShellAccess may investigate suspected misuse and may suspend sessions, tenants, accounts, or access to ShellAssist where necessary to protect the platform, its users, or third parties.
Reporting abuse
Suspected abuse or security concerns can be reported to hello@shellaccess.io.
