Acceptable Use Policy

1. Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to everyone who uses the ATARS application and website, and complements our Terms of Service.

2. Use the platform lawfully

• Only upload or analyse data you own or are authorised to use.
• Respect intellectual-property, privacy and data-protection laws that apply to you.
• Do not use ATARS to take decisions that are unlawful, discriminatory or harmful to individuals.

3. Do not abuse the software or website

• No attempts to gain unauthorised access to this website, its hosting, or systems and data you do not own.
• No use of ATARS to create or spread malware, and no denial-of-service activity or scraping that degrades this website or our download hosting.
• No reverse-engineering, decompiling or tampering with the app's compiled code for the purpose of cloning or reselling it, except where such a restriction is prohibited by law.
• No reselling, sublicensing, re-hosting or white-labelling the ATARS app or installer without written permission.

4. Respect others

Do not use ATARS to harass, defame, or infringe the rights of others, or to process data about people without a lawful basis.

5. Downloads

There are exactly four official sources, and no others: this website, our GitHub releases page, the Microsoft Store (product 9NFRBPL4T2M8), and the Python Package Index for pip install atars. Do not distribute modified installers or packages that claim to be ATARS, and do not publish the atars package — or anything derived from it — to any registry under another name.

6. Enforcement

We may revoke your license under the EULA, block downloads, or refuse support for serious or repeated violations, and where required, cooperate with lawful requests. Where practical we will give notice and a chance to fix the issue first.

7. Reporting

To report abuse or a security concern, see our Security page or the contact page.
