Acceptable Use Policy

This policy sets out what you may and may not do with Physica Lab. It applies to every part of the service — the experiment library, the sandbox, the courseware, and the AI tutor. It is part of our Terms of Service.

1. The AI tutor: prohibited content

The AI tutor is provided for one purpose only: helping you understand physics — explaining concepts, checking your reasoning, and working through problems in the experiments on this site.

You must not use the AI tutor to generate, request, or attempt to generate:

• Sexual or adult content of any kind, including erotic text, sexual role-play, descriptions of sexual acts, or any content intended to arouse. The tutor is not a general-purpose chatbot and this use is prohibited outright.
• Any sexual content involving minors. This is prohibited absolutely, without exception, and will be reported to the relevant authorities.
• Content that sexualises, degrades, or harasses any person or group.
• Content promoting self-harm, violence, or illegal activity.
• Attempts to bypass, jailbreak, or re-prompt the tutor in order to get around the restrictions in this section.

We filter and monitor tutor inputs and outputs for these categories. Where a request is blocked, the tutor will decline and the attempt is logged.

2. Other prohibited uses

• Circumventing access controls. Sharing accounts, redistributing paid content, scraping the library, or otherwise obtaining access you have not paid for.
• Reselling or republishing. You may use the experiments in your own teaching, including in a classroom, but you may not resell, rebrand, or redistribute the content as your own product.
• Attacking the service. Automated scraping, load testing, probing for vulnerabilities, or any attempt to disrupt availability.
• Unlawful use. Anything that breaks the law of your jurisdiction or ours.

3. Your own content

You keep ownership of anything you create in the sandbox — your parameter sets, your saved configurations, your notes. We do not claim a licence over it beyond what is needed to store it and show it back to you.

4. Enforcement

Where we find a breach of this policy we may, depending on severity:

• block the specific request and warn you;
• suspend the AI tutor for your account while keeping experiment access;
• suspend or terminate the account, without refund, for serious breaches — in particular anything involving sexual content, content involving minors, or attempts to circumvent access controls.

We aim to tell you what happened and why, except where doing so would compromise an investigation or where the law prevents it.

5. Reporting

If you find content on this site that breaches this policy, or you believe your own work has been republished here without permission, write to us at the address below with enough detail for us to locate it. We respond to reports within two business days.

6. Changes

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date at the top of this page always reflects the current version, and material changes are announced on the site before they take effect.
