A high-visibility notice for purchasers of "Souf at School" digital products: This AUP must be read in conjunction with our Licensing & Usage Rights Policy. Your purchase grants you a specific license to use the digital file under defined conditions. Any action that violates the terms of your specific purchased license tier constitutes a material breach of this Acceptable Use Policy. Failure to comply with this policy may result in the immediate suspension or termination of your access to our services and, where applicable, potential legal action.

2. Prohibited Activities

This section details the specific activities that are strictly forbidden on all Company websites and in relation to all our digital products. Users must not engage in any of the following activities.

2.1. Illegal or Unlawful Activities

You are strictly prohibited from using our websites or services for any purpose that violates local, national, or international laws or regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, engaging in or promoting fraudulent activities, identity theft, or other criminal acts.

2.2. Harassment, Content Standards, and Review Integrity

Posting or distributing content that promotes violence, hate speech, discrimination, or harassment is forbidden. This includes threatening, intimidating, or bullying others. While we welcome honest feedback, we draw a clear line between valid negative reviews and prohibited abuse. We strictly prohibit "Review Bombing," defined as the coordinated posting of negative reviews with the malicious intent to harm our business reputation rather than to provide genuine product feedback. Furthermore, posting comments that target the "cultural interpretation" of our illustrations with hate speech or discriminatory language is a direct violation of this policy. If you have a specific, good-faith complaint regarding cultural sensitivity, we ask that you direct it to our dedicated support address for review: Souf.at.School@soufbouda.com.

2.3. Spamming, Phishing, and Misrepresentation
