Content & Acceptable Use Policy

Version 1.0 — September 2026
Applies to applause.website, aplaud.me, magic-code.net and related services operated by Alpha Brands & Assets AG.

Important: This publication package is designed for deployment, but certain regulatory, tax, payment, cookie/vendor and implementation items listed in the Pre-Publication Register must still be completed before final launch.

Responsibility

Users are responsible for content they create, upload, link, publish, monetize or privately deliver.

All visibility states

This Policy applies to Public, Gated and Private & Confidential Content. Private status does not legalize otherwise unlawful content.

Prohibited content

Illegal content, fraud, scams, phishing, malware, impersonation, harassment, credible threats, stalking, doxxing, unlawful privacy violations, non-consensual intimate content, child sexual exploitation, grooming, unlawful hate content, terrorism-related illegal content, unlawful trade in weapons/drugs/stolen/counterfeit goods, and IP infringement are prohibited.

Child safety

Child sexual exploitation and child endangerment are strictly prohibited. Kids ID or similar functions must not expose unnecessary child personal data.

IP and identity

Users must hold necessary rights. Public internet availability does not mean public domain. Subject of Applause status does not create ownership or consent.

Misleading reveal

A preview/title/description must not materially mislead users about paid Reveal content. Deliberate bait-and-switch, empty reveals or deceptive repeat charging are prohibited.

Manipulation

Artificial Applause, votes, quiz participation, scans, leads, clicks or referral attribution using bots, fake accounts, collusion, self-funding or other manipulation is prohibited.

Affiliate abuse

Cookie stuffing, click injection, forced redirects, referral hijacking and deceptive affiliate marketing are prohibited.

Security abuse

Unauthorized access, credential theft, account takeover, access-control bypass, malware, DoS, reverse-engineering outside legal exceptions and fee circumvention are prohibited.

Commercial claims

Users may not promise guaranteed earnings. It may be stated accurately that Alpha Brands does not normally require external follower/view thresholds for its own monetization, but that is not an earnings guarantee.

Reporting

Report categories should include Illegal Content, Copyright/IP, Privacy/Personal Information, Image/Personality Rights, Impersonation, Harassment/Threat, Child Safety, Fraud/Scam and Other.

Moderation

Alpha Brands may remove/restrict content, unpublish, disable Magic Codes or shortlinks, suspend monetization, place payout holds, suspend or terminate accounts where justified.

Private moderation

Reported Private Content may be accessed only to the extent necessary by authorized personnel for safety, abuse, rights or legal review.
