STATUS. This is the Acceptable Use Policy referred to in clause 1.1 of the Omnistra Software as a Service Agreement (OMN-LGL-SAA-2026.1). It forms part of that Agreement and binds both Parties. Words defined in the Agreement have the same meaning here. This version is not amended; a correction is issued as a new version at a new permanent address, and clause 22 of the Agreement governs when a new version applies to a Customer.
1. Purpose and Standing
- 1.1The Acceptable Use Policy states the permitted and prohibited uses of the Services.
- 1.2It includes restrictions which a Supplier requires Omnistra to pass on.
- 1.3Clause 14.6 applies to the Acceptable Use Policy.
- 1.4Scope. The Customer’s obligations under this Policy relate to its own acts, omissions, Customer Content, configuration and instructions, and to Output resulting from them. Output falling within clause 10.6 is not a breach by the Customer, save that Omnistra’s rights under clause 14.4, under paragraph 4.1 of this Policy and under paragraph 3.1(p) are exercisable in respect of any Output within paragraph 2 or paragraph 3.1(i), (p), (q), (r) or (t) whether or not the Customer is in breach; and where Omnistra terminates on that footing the termination takes effect as a termination under clause 21.2 and clause 21.6 applies to it.

3. Prohibited Conduct
- 3.1The Customer shall not, and shall not permit any person to:
- (a)remove, delay, obscure, contradict, or instruct the AI Agent to deny, the AI identity disclosure required by clause 10.3 or the recording announcement required by clause 11.2;

- (u)direct the Services at persons under 18; and the Customer shall notify Omnistra within seven days of becoming aware that its customer base is likely to include persons under 18, and shall configure the AI Agent to end the conversation and escalate to a human on detecting that the End Customer is under 18;
- (v)resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or operate the Services as a service bureau or on behalf of any person other than the Customer; or
- (w)attempt to disable, circumvent, degrade or defeat a Guardrail, a prohibited-claim filter, a protective measure under clause 10.7 or a calling control under clause 11.7, whether by configuration, system instruction, prompt, persona, iterative testing or otherwise; instruct or induce the AI Agent to act inconsistently with any of them; or use the Services to develop, test or refine a technique for doing so, whether against the Platform or against any other artificial-intelligence system.
4. Enforcement
- 4.1Omnistra may remove or disable offending content or configuration, suspend the Services immediately under clause 14.4, and terminate under clause 21.4(a). It may report a matter to a regulator, a Supplier or law enforcement where required by law or by its agreement with that Supplier.
- 4.2Where Omnistra proposes to terminate under clause 21.4(a) for a breach which, in its reasonable opinion, has ceased and caused no loss to Omnistra, a third party or an End Customer, it will first notify the Customer, give it five Business Days to explain, and consider any explanation received in that period. Omnistra shall record in writing its reasons for concluding that this paragraph does not apply and provide them to the Customer with the termination notice. A failure to comply does not invalidate a termination but entitles the Customer to a refund of the unused Prepaid Balance despite any deduction under clause 21.6 and to the Exit Refund. This paragraph does not apply to a breach of paragraph 2 or of paragraph 3.1(a), (b), (c), (p), (q) or (r), or where a Supplier, a regulator or law enforcement has required or requested action; and does not restrict Omnistra’s right to suspend immediately.
- 4.3The Customer’s indemnity for breach of this Policy is in clause 20.2(a). It is uncapped only as clause 19.5(e) provides, and is otherwise capped as clause 19.4(f) provides. This paragraph does not vary clause 19 or clause 20.
