Airdress — Acceptable Use Policy
Effective Date: April 12, 2026 Last Updated: April 12, 2026
This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) governs your use of the services provided by Airdress, Inc. (“Airdress,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This AUP is incorporated into and forms part of the Airdress Terms of Service.
All users of the Service, including all Endpoints and Agents registered under your Account, must comply with this AUP. You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who uses the Service through your Account also complies.
Violation of this AUP may result in suspension or termination of your Account. We reserve the right to update this AUP at any time; material changes will be communicated at least 14 days in advance.
1. General Principles
The Airdress relay network is shared infrastructure. Your use of the Service must not degrade the experience of other users, compromise the security or reputation of the network, or expose Airdress to legal or operational risk.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes that are consistent with these principles.
2. Prohibited Uses
You may not use the Service, directly or indirectly, to:
2.1 Illegal Activity
- Conduct any activity that violates applicable local, state, federal, or international law or regulation.
- Facilitate, promote, or support illegal transactions, including trafficking in illegal goods or services.
- Evade or circumvent lawful sanctions, export controls, or embargoes, including those administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
2.2 Network Abuse
- Originate or relay distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, SYN floods, amplification attacks, or any other volumetric or protocol-level attack.
- Conduct port scanning, network probing, or vulnerability scanning of systems you do not own or have explicit authorization to test.
- Operate open proxies, open relays, or open resolvers accessible to the general public through the Service.
- Engage in IP address spoofing, BGP hijacking, or DNS poisoning.
- Transmit traffic intended to exploit known or zero-day vulnerabilities in third-party systems.
- Generate traffic volumes intended to degrade or disrupt the Airdress relay network or other users’ connectivity.
2.3 Malware and Exploitation
- Distribute, host, or control malware, ransomware, spyware, botnets, cryptominers, or any other malicious software.
- Operate command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
- Use the Service as infrastructure for phishing campaigns, credential harvesting, or social engineering attacks.
2.4 Unsolicited Communications
- Send or facilitate spam, bulk unsolicited email, SMS, or messaging.
- Harvest email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact information from third-party systems without authorization.
- Violate the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), or equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.
2.5 Harmful Content
- Host, distribute, or facilitate access to content that depicts, promotes, or facilitates child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Any discovered CSAM will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement immediately.
- Host or distribute content that incites violence, terrorism, or hatred against individuals or groups based on protected characteristics.
2.6 Intellectual Property Infringement
- Use the Service to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, including hosting pirated content or operating services whose primary purpose is circumventing digital rights management.
- We respond to valid notices of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Our DMCA agent can be reached at legal@airdress.co.
2.7 Deceptive Practices
- Misrepresent the origin, identity, or nature of traffic transiting the Service.
- Impersonate Airdress, other users, or third parties.
- Register Accounts using false or misleading information.
3. Resource Usage
3.1. Each Account is subject to the resource limits associated with its plan tier, including bandwidth, number of Endpoints, tunnel concurrency, and request volume.
3.2. You may not attempt to circumvent plan limits by creating multiple Accounts, manipulating metering, or exploiting technical loopholes.
3.3. We may throttle or restrict traffic from Accounts that consistently exceed their plan allocations or that generate traffic patterns disruptive to the network.
4. Security Obligations
4.1. You are responsible for the security of your Endpoints. If an Endpoint connected to your Account is compromised and used to transmit malicious traffic through the Service, you must take immediate corrective action upon notification.
4.2. You must keep your Agent software reasonably up to date. We may block connections from Agent versions with known critical security vulnerabilities, with reasonable notice where possible.
4.3. You must not expose credentials, API keys, or authentication tokens in publicly accessible locations.
5. Abuse Reporting
5.1. If you become aware of any activity on the Service that violates this AUP, please report it to report-abuse@airdress.co.
5.2. We accept and process abuse complaints in accordance with industry standards. We aim to acknowledge abuse reports within 24 hours and to take appropriate action without undue delay.
5.3. We participate in relevant trust and safety communities and comply with legitimate abuse complaints from network operators, CERTs, and law enforcement agencies.
6. Monitoring and Enforcement
6.1. We do not proactively monitor the content of traffic transiting the relay network. However, we do monitor network-level metadata (traffic volumes, connection patterns, protocol anomalies) for abuse detection, capacity planning, and security purposes.
6.2. When we identify or receive a credible report of an AUP violation, we may take one or more of the following actions, depending on the severity and nature of the violation:
-
Notice. We notify you of the violation and request corrective action within a specified timeframe.
-
Throttling. We reduce the bandwidth or request rate available to the affected Endpoint or Account.
-
Suspension. We temporarily suspend the affected Endpoint, Airdress Identifier, or Account. During suspension, your data is preserved.
-
Termination. We permanently terminate your Account. You will receive notice and an opportunity to export your configuration data, except in cases involving illegal activity, CSAM, or imminent harm to third parties.
6.3. We exercise enforcement proportionally. Minor or first-time violations will typically receive a notice and opportunity to cure. Severe violations (e.g., DDoS origination, malware distribution, CSAM) may result in immediate suspension or termination without prior notice.
6.4. If your Account is suspended, you may appeal by contacting report-abuse@airdress.co within 14 days. We will review appeals and respond within a reasonable timeframe.
7. Cooperation with Authorities
7.1. We will comply with valid legal process, including court orders, subpoenas, search warrants, and requests from competent law enforcement agencies, to the extent required by applicable law.
7.2. Where legally permitted, we will notify affected users of law enforcement requests. Where we are prohibited from providing notice (e.g., by a court order or national security letter), we will comply with the restriction.
7.3. We will report any discovered CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.
8. Downstream and Third-Party Use
8.1. If your use of the Service involves providing services to your own end users (e.g., you route traffic for your customers through your Airdress-connected infrastructure), you are responsible for ensuring that your end users’ traffic complies with this AUP.
8.2. You must have your own acceptable use terms in place with your end users and must respond promptly to abuse reports we forward to you regarding traffic originating from your Endpoints.
8.3. Persistent failure to address downstream abuse may result in enforcement action against your Account.
9. U.S. Export Controls and Sanctions
9.1. You may not use the Service in violation of U.S. export control laws or economic sanctions administered by OFAC. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine).
9.2. You represent that you are not on any U.S. government restricted party list, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List).

- Report illegal activity to the relevant authorities.
- Pursue civil remedies for damages caused by AUP violations.
- Permanently block IP addresses or identifiers associated with severe or repeated violations.
