Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026 · Effective immediately for all users
Zolt ("Zolt," "we," "us," or "our") is a software platform that enables creators, freelancers, and small businesses to build pages, sell digital products, and manage memberships. Payment processing is provided by authorized PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateways. Earnings are paid directly to creators via verified local bank transfers or UPI.
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to all users of Zolt, including creators, supporters, and any other individuals who access or use the platform. By using Zolt, you agree to this AUP in full. Violations may result in immediate account suspension, permanent termination, removal of content, and/or reporting to law enforcement or financial partners.
1. Absolutely Prohibited Content & Activity
The following are strictly prohibited on Zolt under all circumstances. There are no exceptions. Violations will result in immediate permanent termination and may be reported to law enforcement.
Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)
Any content, product, image, video, text, or other material that sexually exploits or depicts minors (persons under 18) in any way is strictly prohibited. This includes written, illustrated, or digitally generated content. Zolt has zero tolerance for CSAM and will report all incidents to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement agencies immediately.
Sexually Explicit Content
Pornographic material, explicit sexual imagery, adult content, or any content designed to be sexually gratifying is prohibited. This includes digital products, membership content, profile images, and public pages. Zolt is not an adult content platform.
Violent Extremism & Terrorism
Content that promotes, glorifies, incites, or facilitates acts of terrorism, mass violence, genocide, or violent extremism is prohibited. This includes propaganda, recruitment materials, fundraising for violent organizations, and content produced by designated terrorist organizations.
Hate Speech & Discrimination
Content that attacks, threatens, or dehumanizes individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics is prohibited.
Fraud, Scams & Deceptive Practices
Using Zolt to conduct or facilitate fraud, phishing, advance-fee scams, fake investment schemes, counterfeit goods sales, or any deceptive scheme designed to deceive or financially harm users is strictly prohibited.
Impersonation
Creating pages, profiles, or products that impersonate another person, business, brand, celebrity, public figure, or Zolt itself is prohibited. This includes using another person's name, likeness, branding, or trademarks without authorization.
Illegal Products & Services
Selling, promoting, or facilitating the purchase of illegal goods or services — including controlled substances, illegal weapons, stolen goods, unlicensed software, or items prohibited in the user's jurisdiction — is prohibited.
Harassment & Threats
Using Zolt to harass, threaten, stalk, doxx, or intimidate any individual is prohibited. This includes content or messages that target private individuals.
Money Laundering & Financial Crime
Using Zolt to launder money, process payments for illegal activities, evade taxes, or otherwise commit financial crimes is prohibited. All payments on Zolt are processed by certified PCI-DSS payment gateways and subject to rigorous AML/KYC procedures.
Spam & Unsolicited Commercial Communication
Sending unsolicited bulk messages, spamming supporters or creators, or using Zolt's systems to distribute spam is prohibited.
2. Platform Standards — What You May Sell
Zolt is designed for legitimate digital creators, freelancers, and small businesses. Permitted uses include:
- Digital products (eBooks, templates, software, artwork, music, courses)
- Membership subscriptions for exclusive non-prohibited content
- Tips and donations to support creative work
- Freelance services (design, writing, coaching, consulting)
- Online communities and newsletters
All content sold or displayed on Zolt must comply with this AUP, Zolt's Terms of Service, and standard payment network prohibited and restricted activities guidelines .
3. Content Detection & Moderation
Zolt operates an automated content moderation system to detect and prevent policy violations. This system:
- Automatically scans all product names, descriptions, and page content at the time of submission for prohibited keywords and patterns.
- Flags suspicious content for human review by the Zolt Trust & Safety team before or after publication.
- Demonetizes or removes content found to violate this policy, with or without prior notice.
- Suspends accounts that repeatedly or severely violate this policy.
- Reports violations to payment acquirers and, where required by law, to law enforcement agencies.
Users may also report policy violations via our trust@zolt.me email address. All reports are reviewed by a human within 2 business days.
4. Payment Processing & Banking Compliance
Zolt does not process payments and never holds creator funds. Creators connect their own payment provider (PayPal, Razorpay, Ko-fi, a bank payment link, and other verified options), and supporters pay the creator directly on that provider's page. By using Zolt, creators agree to comply with their payment provider's terms, all applicable financial regulations, tax obligations, and banking policies. Zolt reserves the right to remove any page that facilitates fraudulent or illegal activity.
5. Enforcement & Consequences
| Violation Severity | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| Minor / First offence | Content removed, warning issued |
| Moderate / Repeat | Temporary account suspension, content removed |
| Severe (fraud, CSAM, terrorism) | Permanent ban, payment partners notified, law enforcement report |
