Acceptable Use Policy

As a marketing platform, we feel it’s our responsibility to be extra vigilant in preventing abuse of our services to protect both our customers and their contacts. It’s also in our best interest to keep the platform clean because our reputation and deliverability depend on it. All Fractionalize product users must follow this Acceptable Use Policy in their use of Fractionalize. If you violate this policy, we may suspend or terminate your account. We may also suspend or terminate accounts according to our Standard Terms of Use where we see behavior, content, or other factors that pose a threat to our platform. If a term is capitalized in this Acceptable Use Policy but isn’t defined, it has the meaning given to it in our Standard Terms of Use.

  • Online trading, day trading tips, or stock market related content
  • Daily horoscope reports
  • Nutritional, herbal, and vitamin supplements
  • Adult entertainment/novelty items
  • Online dating services and applications (dating sites or services with a sexual emphasis or sexually explicit content – including images depicting nudity – are not permitted)

If we identify abuse at our sole discretion, we may suspend, throttle, or disable the account.
