This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to everyone who uses SpitShake — Tenants (the organizations that subscribe), Tenant Authorized Users (individual users within a Tenant), and Signers (individuals invited by a Tenant to execute a document). It is referenced by our Terms of Service § 2 and forms part of your agreement with us.Documentation Index

Prohibited uses
You may not use SpitShake:Content + legality
- To transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or that infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
- To send documents that contain malware, ransomware, or other harmful code.
- To send documents in connection with illegal gambling, prohibited controlled substances, human trafficking, child exploitation, or other conduct that is illegal in any jurisdiction where the document will be delivered or executed.
PHI (protected health information)
- To upload, transmit, or store Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA unless a Business Associate Agreement is already in force between you and us. PHI upload without a BAA is a material breach of this AUP and we may suspend the Tenant immediately. See our BAA page.
Identity-bound signing
- To issue identity-handoff JWT tokens from a signing key that has been compromised or may have been compromised. If a key is or might be compromised, rotate it immediately via the handoff-secret rotation endpoint and notify us.
- To present false “verified_name” claims in identity-handoff tokens — that is, to assert an identity verification that did not occur or that was materially different from what is represented.
- To use identity-bound signing links for phishing, spear-phishing, or any social-engineering attack.
Abuse + integrity
- To attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorized to access.
- To probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the system without advance written authorization.
- To circumvent rate limits, seat counts, tier limits, or technical protections.
- To resell, sublicense, or provide white-label access to the service to third parties without a written agreement permitting it.
Sanctions + export
- To use the service for the benefit of any person on a U.S. government sanctions list (OFAC SDN, NS-PLC, or equivalent), or in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. embargoes.
- To re-export the service in violation of U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
