Acceptable Use Policy
Effective July 17, 2026 · v1.1.0.
This Acceptable Use Policy supplements our Terms of Service and governs your use of the AutoSAM platform.
1. Overview
AutoSAM, operated by GovCertix LLC, is a supply-chain compliance platform for defense primes, subcontractors, and the consultant firms that manage them. This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) defines acceptable and unacceptable behavior when using the AutoSAM platform to ensure a safe, reliable, and lawful experience for all users. This AUP becomes binding on account provisioning and applies to any use of the AutoSAM platform, including trial, Founding Cohort, and Design Partner access.
2. Permitted Uses
AutoSAM is intended for legitimate business purposes related to government-contracting supply-chain compliance. Permitted uses include:
• Monitoring SAM.gov registration status and expiration dates
• Receiving compliance alerts and deadline reminders
• Managing entity registrations and renewal workflows
• Generating compliance reports for your organization
• Collaborating with team members within your organization
• Exporting your own data for internal use
3. Prohibited Uses
You may not use AutoSAM for any of the following purposes. Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.
3.1 Abuse and Disruption
• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to AutoSAM systems, accounts, or data
• Interfering with or disrupting the platform, servers, or networks
• Circumventing rate limits, usage quotas, or security measures
• Introducing malware, viruses, or other harmful code
• Performing denial-of-service attacks or load testing without written consent
3.2 Scraping and Data Extraction
• Automated scraping, crawling, or bulk extraction of platform data other than via documented APIs and within the terms of your subscription
• Using bots or automated tools to access the platform without authorization
• Reselling, redistributing, or sublicensing AutoSAM data or content
3.3 Illegal Activity
• Using AutoSAM for any purpose that violates applicable federal, state, or local law
• Facilitating fraud, false claims under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729), procurement-integrity violations, or other financial crimes
• Submitting false or misleading information to government systems
3.4 Impersonation
• Impersonating another person, organization, or government entity
• Misrepresenting your affiliation with any entity
• Creating accounts under false identities
3.5 Intellectual Property Violations
• Infringing on the intellectual property rights of GovCertix LLC or third parties
• Reverse-engineering, or attempting to derive the source code, architecture, or algorithms of any part of the AutoSAM platform
• Removing or altering proprietary notices, labels, or marks
3.6 GovCon-Specific Prohibitions
These prohibitions reflect the defense-supply-chain context AutoSAM is built for, in addition to the general prohibitions above:
• Uploading, pasting, or otherwise transmitting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), ITAR- or EAR-controlled technical data, classified information, or other procurement-sensitive material through any AutoSAM surface. AutoSAM's product architecture is designed not to accept this material (ADR-UPLOAD-01); this clause makes explicit that users may not attempt to route it through AutoSAM regardless.
• Using AutoSAM outputs (including compliance reports, obligation summaries, or risk-scan results) to make false or unsubstantiated certification claims to a government agency, prime, or contracting officer, including false CMMC status representations, false SAM.gov representations and certifications, or false ISR/SSR/CPARS filings.
• Using AutoSAM to circumvent, misrepresent, or evade flow-down compliance obligations owed to a prime contractor, or to misstate your organization's compliance posture to a prime or contracting officer.
4. Enforcement and Termination
GovCertix LLC reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action against any violations of this AUP. Enforcement actions may include, at our discretion:
• Issuing a written warning
• Temporarily suspending account access
• Permanently terminating your account
• Removing or disabling access to content that violates this policy
• Reporting illegal activity to law enforcement authorities
We may terminate or suspend access immediately, without prior notice or liability, for material or repeated violations of this AUP or applicable law, for conduct that we believe is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or as required by court order or lawful government request.
5. Reporting Violations
If you become aware of any violation of this Acceptable Use Policy, please report it immediately. You can reach us at legal@autosam.io. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
6. Changes to This Policy
GovCertix LLC may update this Acceptable Use Policy at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with an updated effective date. Where we have an email address on file, we will additionally notify affected users at least 30 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of AutoSAM after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
