Acceptable Use Policy
This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) defines the rules for using Vioro, operated by Cyze AS, Norway (Org. No. 932 904 500). It applies to all users and is incorporated into the Terms of Service. Violation of this AUP may result in immediate account suspension or termination.
1. Permitted Use
Vioro is a website monitoring and security observability service. You may use Vioro to:
- Monitor websites that you own, operate, or have explicit written authority to monitor (e.g. as an agency or freelancer with a client mandate)
- Receive uptime and TLS alerts, broken link reports, and DNS change notifications
- Run passive security assessments and vulnerability scans on verified domains
- Use monitoring data to improve the reliability and security of your own or your clients’ websites
2. Domain Verification for Security Features
Standard monitoring features (uptime, TLS expiry, broken links) require no domain verification and are available immediately.
Advanced security features (vulnerability scanning, passive penetration testing, port exposure maps, sub-domain discovery, defacement detection, and similar features) require domain ownership verification using one of these methods, which are re-verified daily:
- DNS TXT record — add a Vioro-issued TXT record to your domain’s DNS
- HTML
<meta>tag — add a Vioro-issued meta tag to your page’s<head> .well-knownfile — place a Vioro-issued file at/.well-known/vioro.txt(unique per domain — only one organisation may hold verification via this method)
Multiple organisations may verify the same domain via DNS TXT or meta tag (e.g. multiple agencies managing the same client site). Access to security data is restricted to verified organisations only.
3. Prohibited Conduct
You must not use Vioro to:
3.1 Unlawful Targets
- Monitor websites used for illegal activity, including drug markets, child sexual abuse material, fraud, identity theft, espionage, or any other criminal enterprise
- Monitor any website without the legal right to do so
3.2 Abuse of the Service
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service or its infrastructure
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks connected to it
- Circumvent any security controls, rate limits, or access restrictions
- Use the Service to generate automated probe traffic against a site beyond the scope of your subscription (e.g. creating fake accounts to amplify probe frequency — note: our architecture deduplicates probes by target, making this technically ineffective)
3.3 Misrepresentation
- Impersonate another person, organisation, or Vioro itself
- Submit false domain verification claims or use verification methods you are not authorised to use
- Provide false or misleading information during account registration
3.4 Automated Unauthorised Access
- Use bots, scrapers, scripts, or AI agents to interact with the Vioro interface outside of officially documented API endpoints
- Attempt to extract bulk data from the Service through automated means

5. Enforcement
We reserve the right to:
- Investigate suspected violations of this AUP
- Suspend or terminate accounts in violation, with or without prior notice depending on severity
- Report unlawful activity to relevant authorities
Cyze AS’s decisions on AUP enforcement are final.
