Acceptable use

Draft · last updated 20 August 2026

Proverbit makes educational explainers. Requests are screened before anything is produced, and some are refused outright. This page says which, so a refusal is never a mystery.

What is refused

Sexualising minors

Refused outright, not appealable, and reported where the law requires it. There is no context in which this is a request we will consider.

Sexual or adult content

This is a tool for explaining things to people who are often young. Sexual and adult content is out of scope, whatever the framing.

Instructions for causing harm

We will not produce instructions for making weapons, explosives or illicit drugs. Explaining how something works in general terms is fine and often exactly the point — how an engine burns fuel, why a reaction is exothermic, how a drug affects the body. The line is between understanding a thing and being handed a procedure for making it.

Hatred and propaganda

We will not produce content promoting hatred or violence against a group. Explaining a historical atrocity, an ideology or a conflict is not this, and is a legitimate thing to want explained.

Over-refusal is a bug

A filter that also refuses "how does a vaccine train your immune system" or "what caused the Rwandan genocide" has not made anything safer — it has made the product useless for the subjects people most need explained. If a reasonable educational request was refused, tell us at hello@proverbit.com and we will look at the rule that caught it.

Other things not to do

• Impersonating someone, or presenting a generated video as another person's work.
• Uploading material you have no right to use.
• Automating signups, sharing one account between people, or working around plan limits.
• Anything that would break the law where you are.

What happens when this is broken

A refused request produces nothing and costs you nothing. Repeated or serious breaches can suspend or close the account, and we will say why where it is safe and lawful to do so.
