For example, and without limitation, do not use the Services for: performing financial transactions or services, such as payroll, accounting, payment processing, banking, or securities brokerage; storing or processing patient health records or medical records; supporting hazardous or mission-critical uses, or uses requiring fail-safe performance, such as the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communications systems, air traffic control systems, or weapons control systems; supporting any embargoed or sanctioned activities, entities, or individuals; or supporting any uses where system failure could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage.

‍

NO COMMERCIAL OR ADVERTISING USE

While the Services are meant to be used for business purposes, they are not an advertising medium. Do not post, share or link to any content that contains advertisements or solicits any person to buy or sell products or services. Recommending a product or service is OK so long as you disclose any material connection between you and the provider of such product or service. Do not use the Services for any “spammy” or other unauthorized purpose, including sending unsolicited or commercial emails, messages, comments or other communications, or collecting usernames and/or email addresses of other Authorized Users for such purposes.

You may not interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on the Services or the networks or services connected to the Services.

‍

REPRESENT YOURSELF TRUTHFULLY

Do not impersonate any other person or entity. Do not provide false or misleading information.

‍

KEEP PRIVATE INFORMATION PRIVATE

Remember that some aspects of the Services may be broadly visible to other Authorized Users and/or the general public. Do not post personal information (for example, never reveal your password, phone number, address, or similar information) in any forum on the Services that is public in nature.  Take care when determining whether to reveal your personal information to others. And do not reveal any personal information or private media of any other individual without their permission.

‍

NO OBLIGATION TO MONITOR

We do not have any general obligation to monitor, and will not monitor, your Content or use of the Services for compliance with this AUP, our other Documentation or the Agreement. We do not have, and do not undertake, any obligation to prescreen, monitor, edit, or remove any Content, or to actively seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity. In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right (but undertake no obligation) to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, take down or delete any Content, and to suspend or terminate access to and use of the Services by any person for violation of this AUP, our other Documentation, or the Agreement.

CONTENT REPORTING AND EU DIGITAL SERVICES ACT

The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) covers hosting services, including Mural. The DSA requires that hosting services remove reported content that violates policies or applicable law, among other obligations.

Mural was built for collaboration and we’re committed to maintaining Mural as a safe, trusted and productive work environment for our customers and users. Using Mural to store or share prohibited or illegal content violates our Terms and this AUP. When we are alerted to prohibited or illegal content being stored or shared on Mural, we will either directly remove that content consistent with applicable law and our terms and policies, or work with the applicable customer (as the data controller) to remove such content where we are the data processor and we do not have access to or the ability to remove such content.  Please note that we do not currently use any automated processing technologies as part of our review/moderation practices.

If you are located in the European Union and you believe there is illegal content on Mural, you can report it at the following link.  We will review reports and remove content that violates our policies or applicable law. 

If you are a user whose content has been removed on the basis of a report, we (or where we are a processor, the data controller) will provide you with an explanation for the removal. You will then have the ability to appeal the decision.  Information on how to appeal and the information to provide will be given in our notification to you.

Customers, users, and regulatory authorities with questions about Mural’s compliance with the DSA can email us at privacy@mural.com.
