These rules are the acceptable use rules for Reasoned. The same rules are in clauses 13, 14 and 15 of the [Platform Terms of Service](/legal/terms). If this page and those clauses differ, those clauses prevail.

Read this with the [Platform Terms of Service](/legal/terms), the [Competition Terms](/legal/competition-terms) and the [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy).

## 1. Assessments and competition integrity

1.1 Assessments, simulations and competitions only work if results mean something. When you take one you must do your own work, without help from another person, and without using tools the rules do not allow.

1.2 You must not copy, photograph, record, republish or share our questions, tests, answers or worked solutions, or obtain them from anyone who has.

1.3 You must not use more than one account, take an assessment on someone else's behalf, or ask anyone to take one for you.

1.4 Where a specific assessment or competition sets extra rules — permitted tools, time limits, materials, or whether AI assistance is allowed — those rules apply.

1.5 We monitor for irregular patterns. Where we reasonably believe a result was not genuinely earned, we may void it, remove it from leaderboards, withhold or revoke a certificate, and act under section 2.6. You can appeal under section 2.7.

1.6 Reasonable adjustments, including extra time where we agree it, are requested as described in the [Accessibility Statement](/legal/accessibility).

## 2. Acceptable use and community standards

2.1 You must not:

- share your login, or let anyone else use your account;
- copy, scrape, republish, resell or distribute our lessons, questions, tests, worked solutions, videos or other content, or use them to train an artificial intelligence model;
- cheat in competitions or assessments, including multi-accounting, collusion, exploiting bugs or manipulating results;
- upload false information, including invented achievements, qualifications or certificates;
- upload or share anything unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, obscene, or infringing someone else's rights;
- harass, threaten, abuse or impersonate any user, society member, partner or member of our team;
- attempt to access systems, accounts or data you are not authorised to access, or interfere with the security or operation of the platform;
- introduce malware or other harmful code;
- use Reasoned to advertise, recruit, sell or promote anything without our written permission, including posting referral or affiliate links in community areas;
- use Reasoned for any commercial purpose we have not authorised.

2.2 **Community standards.** Content you post or upload — profiles, Vault documents, competition entries, society pages, comments and messages — must comply with section 2.1 and must not include: content encouraging or assisting crime; threats, bullying or harassment; hate speech or discrimination; sexual content; content promoting suicide, self-harm or eating disorders; fraud or scams; or another person's personal information shared without a proper reason.

2.3 **Reporting.** You can report content or another user by emailing team@reasonedfinance.com. In-product report and block controls are not available yet; until they are, email is the reporting route.

2.4 **How we handle reports.** We review reports promptly and prioritise anything indicating a risk to someone's safety. We act quickly on illegal content, remove it where our standards or the law require, and report it to the authorities where appropriate. We tell the person who reported it, and the person affected, what we decided, unless we are unable to. We keep records of reports, decisions and appeals.

2.5 **Who is accountable.** **Charlie Bevan, co-founder**, is the senior manager accountable for our online safety duties, including our risk assessments, our reporting and complaints routes, and the protection of anyone under 18 who reaches the platform. You can contact him at team@reasonedfinance.com.

2.6 **What we may do.** Where these rules are broken we may, acting proportionately: remove or hide content; issue a warning; restrict features; disqualify competition entries; withhold or revoke a certificate; suspend or close an account; and report conduct to the police, a regulator or another authority. Where your paid plan is ended because of your breach, no refund is due, except where the law requires one.

2.7 **Appeals.** If you believe a decision under this policy was wrong, reply to our decision email within 14 days. A different member of our team will review it. This does not affect your legal rights.

## 3. Automated access, scraping and AI training

3.1 You must not access Reasoned using bots, crawlers, scrapers, headless browsers or other automated means, except for search engines following our published robots file.

3.2 You must not carry out text or data mining on Reasoned, or use our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine learning or AI model. **We expressly reserve all rights in our content for text and data mining purposes.** This is an express reservation of rights for the purposes of any applicable text and data mining exception.

3.3 You must not resell, sublicense or redistribute access to Reasoned, use it to build a competing product, or share your account with a group.

3.4 We may apply rate limits and technical protections, and may block traffic that appears automated or abusive.

3.5 We do not currently offer a public API. If we do, it will have its own terms.

## 4. Security research

Testing the platform for vulnerabilities is covered by the [Security and Responsible Disclosure Policy](/legal/security), not by this policy's general ban on unauthorised access, where you follow that policy.
