Fair Usage Policy

1. Overview

Pohst provides a shared SaaS platform for social media scheduling, analytics, AI content generation, and communication tools.

This policy applies to all services including:

• pohst.media
• signal.pohst.app (Postiz-based service layer)
• API services and subdomains
• Connected integrations (Meta, X, LinkedIn, TikTok)

2. Purpose of This Policy

The platform is shared infrastructure. Fair usage rules ensure system stability, prevent abuse, and maintain consistent performance for all users.

3. Fair Use of Platform Resources

Users agree not to:

• Excessively overload scheduling or publishing systems
• Automate high-frequency requests beyond normal usage patterns
• Scrape or bulk extract analytics or platform data
• Use AI generation in a way that disrupts system performance
• Abuse API endpoints or automation systems

4. AI Usage Limits

AI tools are provided for content assistance and workflow support.

To ensure fair access:

• AI usage may be rate-limited during peak demand
• Bulk or automated AI generation may be restricted
• Abusive or repetitive prompting may be throttled

5. Scheduling & Publishing Limits

Users may schedule and publish content to connected platforms such as Meta, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok.

To maintain platform stability:

• Excessive bulk scheduling may be rate-limited
• Spam-like publishing patterns may be blocked
• System abuse may result in temporary restrictions

6. Analytics Usage

Analytics data (clicks, views, engagement metrics) is provided for normal operational use.

Users may not:

• Scrape analytics data at scale
• Automate continuous extraction of reporting data
• Bypass platform rate limits

7. Signal Service Layer (signal.pohst.app)

signal.pohst.app is a service layer powered by third-party software (including Postiz or similar systems) used for scheduling, publishing, analytics, and communication workflows.

This system is subject to additional rate limits and operational safeguards to ensure platform reliability.

8. Email & Messaging Usage

Email and messaging features (SMTP or integrated services) must be used responsibly.

• No spam or unsolicited bulk messaging
• No abuse of delivery systems
• Compliance with applicable anti-spam laws required

9. Abuse Prevention

We reserve the right to detect and prevent abuse, including:

• Rate limiting requests
• Temporary suspension of features
• Blocking abusive IPs or accounts

10. Service Protection

Fair usage protections are in place to ensure:

• System stability
• Equal access for all users
• Reliable performance of AI and scheduling systems

11. Enforcement

If usage is determined to be abusive or harmful to platform stability, Pohst may:

• Throttle usage
• Restrict features
• Suspend or terminate accounts

12. Changes to This Policy

This Fair Usage Policy may be updated periodically. Continued use of the platform indicates acceptance of any updates.
