Summary: Use ConvoAI only for legitimate business communications. Don't send spam, don't violate Meta's WhatsApp policies, don't use the platform for illegal or harmful purposes. Violations may result in immediate account termination.
1. Introduction
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to all users of ConvoAI, operated by Serverlys. It supplements our Terms of Service and Data Processing Agreement and defines specific rules for acceptable use of the platform.
ConvoAI provides AI-powered WhatsApp automation tools. Because our Service involves sending messages to real people via a regulated messaging platform, responsible use is critical — both to protect your business and to maintain the integrity and deliverability of the WhatsApp ecosystem.
By using ConvoAI, you agree to this AUP. We reserve the right to update this policy at any time with notice.
2. WhatsApp Business Policy Compliance
Your use of ConvoAI's messaging features must at all times comply with:
Key WhatsApp requirements you must follow:
- Opt-in consent: You must have explicit, documented opt-in consent from recipients before sending any business-initiated (outbound) messages or marketing communications. The opt-in must clearly identify your business and the nature of messages the user will receive.
- Honest identification: You must accurately identify your business in all communications. AI agents may use a persona name but must not claim to be human when a user sincerely asks.
- Opt-out honoring: You must promptly honor any request to stop receiving messages, including keywords such as "STOP", "Unsubscribe", or equivalent in the user's language. Opted-out contacts must not receive further business-initiated messages.
- 24-hour customer service window: Free-form replies to customer-initiated messages are only permitted within 24 hours of the customer's last message. Outside this window, you must use Meta-approved message templates.
- Approved message templates: All outbound campaigns, reminders, and follow-up messages sent outside the 24-hour window must use templates that have been reviewed and approved by Meta before use. You are responsible for template compliance and approval.
- Quality rating maintenance: Meta assigns a quality rating to WhatsApp Business Accounts based on block rates and negative feedback. You are responsible for maintaining an acceptable quality rating. Consistent low quality may result in ConvoAI limiting your messaging capabilities.
- No unsolicited initiation: You must never initiate a conversation with a user who has not opted in or who has not previously messaged your business number.
- Approved use cases only: WhatsApp Business messaging must be used only for legitimate business communications as defined by Meta's policies. See Section 3 for prohibited use cases.
Violations of Meta's policies may result in your WhatsApp Business Account being independently suspended or permanently banned by Meta, regardless of any action we take under this AUP.
3. Prohibited Messaging Practices
You must not use ConvoAI to:
- Send spam — unsolicited bulk messages to users who have not opted in to receive communications from you
- Send marketing messages without consent — any promotional or commercial message sent without a valid legal basis and documented opt-in

- Send misleading messages — any communication that misrepresents your identity, the nature of your business, or the purpose of the message
- Ignore opt-outs — continuing to message contacts who have requested to stop receiving communications
