Acceptable Use Policy — Prohibited Content

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

You cannot use Fireworks AI's service for illegal purposes, to spread false or harmful content, to promote hate or violence, or for anything Fireworks AI alone decides is objectionable — and they can cut off your access for any of these reasons.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Fireworks AI can suspend or terminate your account if they decide, entirely on their own judgment, that your use is objectionable — even if your use would otherwise be legal — leaving you with no recourse and potentially no refund for prepaid subscription fees.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

The 'in our sole discretion' standard for what is 'objectionable' gives Fireworks AI unconstrained authority to terminate your account based on subjective content judgments, with no appeals process described.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Acceptable use policies in AI platforms engage Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. §230), which provides immunity for good-faith content moderation. The EU Digital Services Act (DSA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) imposes additional transparency and appeals obligations for content moderation decisions for EU users. The EU AI Act imposes prohibited use requirements (Art. 5) on AI system providers. FTC Act Section 5 applies if content moderation policies are applied in discriminatory or deceptive ways. (2)
