3. Tunnel-Specific Rules

Tunnels are designed for sharing development environments for review and feedback. The following additional rules apply:

  • Ephemeral use: Tunnels are intended for temporary development sessions, not persistent hosting.
  • No illegal content: Content served through tunnels must comply with applicable laws in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of your reviewers.
  • Responsible sharing: When sharing a tunnel link, you are responsible for who can access it and the content they will see. Use access controls (passwords, permissions) where appropriate.
  • No circumvention: Do not use tunnels to circumvent network restrictions, firewalls, or security controls in ways that violate the policies of your network or organization.

4. Reporting Violations

If you believe someone is violating this AUP, please report it to hello@checkpoint.build with as much detail as possible, including:

  • The nature of the violation
  • URLs or tunnel identifiers involved
  • Screenshots or other evidence, if available

We review all reports and take appropriate action, which may include warning the user, disabling content, or terminating accounts.

5. Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate and take action against violations of this AUP at our sole discretion. Actions may include:

  • Issuing a warning
  • Temporarily suspending access
  • Permanently terminating your account
  • Removing or disabling offending content or tunnels
  • Reporting illegal activity to law enforcement

We may also cooperate with law enforcement if we believe a violation involves criminal activity.
