Acceptable Use Policy

1. What Formgopher Is For

Formgopher exists to relay contact-form submissions from a real website to a real inbox: a visitor fills out a form on a site, and the message reaches the person who's supposed to see it. That's the entire use case it's built and priced around.

2. What's Not Allowed

Using Formgopher, an API key, or a recipient connected to an account, to do any of the following is not allowed:

• Child sexual abuse material, child exploitation, or any content sexualizing a minor. Zero tolerance. Any account involved in this is terminated immediately and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and/or law enforcement, without warning, and without exception.
• Communicating with intent to harm someone. Using a form, or the emails it generates, to threaten, stalk, harass, extort, groom, or otherwise target a real person with intent to cause them harm.
• Bulk or unsolicited email. Formgopher relays individual form submissions initiated by a real visitor filling out a real form. It isn't a newsletter tool, a marketing blast tool, or a way to email a purchased or scraped list. If a message wasn't triggered by someone actually submitting a form, it doesn't belong on Formgopher.
• Phishing, scams, or malware. Using a form (or the emails it generates) to impersonate another person, business, or brand, to collect credentials or payment details fraudulently, or to distribute malicious files as attachments.
• Spam-adjacent content. Submissions or recipient configurations designed to game or defeat the spam-detection feature rather than to legitimately reach an inbox.
• Illegal content. Anything that violates applicable law, including harassment, threats, hate speech, or content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or privacy rights.
• Forms on sites without authorization. Connecting a recipient to a website that isn't owned or operated by the account holder, or that the account holder hasn't been authorized (e.g. by a client) to add a contact form integration to.
• Abuse of the infrastructure. Attempting to bypass rate limits or plan limits, probing or scanning the API for vulnerabilities, submitting automated/bot traffic to inflate or exhaust submission counts, or reverse-engineering the service to resell or white-label it without permission.
• Collecting sensitive data without a legitimate basis. Using a form to collect information like government ID numbers, full payment card numbers, or health information, unless there's a genuine, lawful reason tied to the site's purpose, and appropriate handling for that kind of data (Formgopher is a contact-form relay, not a secure data collection platform, and isn't built to store sensitive categories of data safely).

3. Why This Matters Practically

Formgopher's email delivery runs through a shared sending domain (Resend). Spam, phishing, or bulk-mail abuse from one account can hurt the sending reputation of that domain for every account on it, which is the practical (not just legal) reason this policy exists and gets enforced.

4. Reporting Abuse

If a message received via Formgopher looks like spam, phishing, or abuse, forward it, along with any details available (sender, approximate time, the website it appears to have come from), to roger@atroger.com.

Reports are reviewed and, where an account is found in violation, may result in a warning, a recipient being disabled, or account suspension, depending on severity.

5. Enforcement

Violating this policy may result in a submission being blocked, a recipient being deactivated, or an account being suspended or terminated, at the discretion of the developer operating Formgopher, consistent with the Terms of Service. Severe or repeated violations (e.g. active phishing or malware distribution) may be actioned without prior warning.
