Acceptable use — seven clauses, no automation, ToS-aligned.
What a TTPA will do under your LinkedIn account, what a TTPA will not do, and the nine industries we do not engage with. The operating-model boundary in writing — published before you sign so it is not a surprise after the deposit clears.

Quick snapshot.
- Operating model
- Manual operation by a named human via Remote Desktop Access. No automation tooling, no scrapers, no third-party API use.
- LinkedIn ToS alignment
- Clause §3 below quotes LinkedIn User Agreement §8.2 verbatim. Manual operation by a named human is not "automation" in the LinkedIn ToS sense.
- Buyer warranties
- Account in good standing · no prior automation in last 90 days · not under enforcement · data-protection-compliant lists.
- Prohibited industries
- Nine categories listed in clause §5 — recruiting agencies, MLM, retail crypto, adult, gambling, cannabis, firearms, political campaigns, sub-USD-400K-revenue.
- Breach consequence
- Immediate termination + no refund of pre-paid period + Buyer-IP returned within 30 days.
Seven clauses — read every one.
-
§1 What TTPA will do.
A named, senior, full-time human Trusted Personal Assistant (TTPA) operates Buyer's LinkedIn account for 8 hours/day × 20 days/month under Tier 1-3 (or per Service Order under Tier 4). All actions are taken via Remote Desktop Access into a dedicated Toptronic-owned laptop, signed in to Buyer's LinkedIn account with credentials held in a Buyer-controlled LastPass tenant per /legal/subprocessors/. The TTPA performs: voice-matched content authoring (drafts approved by Buyer before posting); 1st-degree connection growth within LinkedIn's daily limits; InMail sequences calibrated to Buyer's tone radar; Sales Navigator catalog operation per /services/sales-navigator/; weekly editorial review with Buyer.
-
§2 What TTPA will not do.
No automation tools (no Phantombuster, no Dripify, no Linked Helper, no Apollo browser extensions). No bot-style scripted outreach. No bulk InMail without per-recipient personalisation. No screen-scraping of LinkedIn-private data. No third-party LinkedIn API use (LinkedIn does not offer such APIs to TTPA). No account-sharing across Buyers — one TTPA serves one Buyer per session window; back-up TTPAs are named on the same engagement, not borrowed from another Buyer's pool. No use of Buyer-supplied lists in violation of /legal/dpa/ or applicable data-protection law.
-
§3 LinkedIn Terms of Service alignment.
TTPA's operating model — manual operation by a named human via Remote Desktop Access — is fully aligned with LinkedIn's User Agreement at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement §8.2 (Don'ts). Specifically, the TTPA does not "use software, devices, scripts, robots or any other means or processes (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons, or any other technology) to scrape the Services or otherwise copy profiles and other data from the Services." Manual operation by a named human is not "automation" within the meaning of LinkedIn ToS §8.2. Toptronic monitors LinkedIn ToS amendments quarterly per Ops Handoff §5; any change that affects operating-model alignment triggers a Buyer notice within 5 business days.
-
§4 Buyer-side compliance warranties.
Buyer warrants that, at engagement start: (a) Buyer's LinkedIn account is in good standing (not suspended, restricted, or under appeal); (b) Buyer has not deployed any automation tooling on the account in the 90 days before engagement start that LinkedIn might attribute to the TTPA's session; (c) Buyer is not subject to a current LinkedIn enforcement action; (d) all data Buyer provides for outreach lists complies with applicable data-protection law (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) where applicable; Australian Privacy Principles where applicable; HK PDPO where applicable).
-
§5 Prohibited buyer industries (ICP exclusion).
Toptronic does not engage Buyers in the following industries due to LinkedIn-ToS friction, regulatory risk, or ICP-fit reasons: high-volume recruiting agencies, multi-level-marketing businesses, retail-crypto trading or speculative-token issuance, adult content, gambling/sports-betting, recreational cannabis, civilian firearms retail, active-political-campaigning entities, and pre-revenue businesses with annual revenue below USD 400,000 (the latter is an ICP-fit screen — TTPA pricing requires the Buyer to have meaningful LinkedIn-attributed revenue at risk). Specific edge cases are reviewed by Toptronic management on a case-by-case basis at engagement scoping.
-
§6 Termination for AUP breach.
A material breach of this AUP — including any deployment of unauthorised automation tooling, any concealment of a prior LinkedIn enforcement action, or any false warranty under §4 — entitles Toptronic to immediate termination of the Service. On AUP termination: (a) no refund of the pre-paid period (the breach voids the refund schedule at /legal/refund/); (b) Buyer-provided IP shall be returned within 30 days; (c) the Mutual NDA at /legal/nda/ survives termination per its own §2.
-
§7 Reporting AUP concerns.
AUP concerns — whether raised by Buyer, by a third party, or by LinkedIn — should be reported to
[email protected]. Toptronic acknowledges receipt within 1 business day and completes investigation within 5 business days. Outcomes (including any corrective action) are documented in writing to the reporting party where lawful.
Prohibited industries — nine categories.
The exclusion list below is part of clause §5. Categories — not named businesses — to keep the policy categorical rather than accusatory. Edge cases reviewed by Toptronic management at engagement scoping.
| Category | Why excluded |
|---|---|
| High-volume recruiting agencies | LinkedIn ToS friction (heavy InMail-volume thresholds + Recruiter SKU overlap) |
| Multi-level marketing | Reputational risk to Toptronic and to the TTPA's named operating account |
| Retail crypto / speculative tokens | Regulatory uncertainty across HK / AU / EU / US — too many forum-state risks |
| Adult content | Brand-incompatibility with the AICD/IoD-grade Buyer audience |
| Gambling / sports-betting | Jurisdictional licensing complexity across Tier-A geographies |
| Recreational cannabis | Federal-state mismatch in the US; payment-processor restrictions at Airwallex |
| Civilian firearms retail | Payment-processor restrictions at Airwallex; brand-incompatibility |
| Active political campaigns | Election-period content rules vary by jurisdiction; Toptronic does not specialise here |
| Pre-revenue businesses < USD 400K/yr | ICP-fit screen — TTPA pricing requires meaningful LinkedIn-attributed revenue at risk |
Reporting an AUP concern.
AUP concerns — whether raised by a Buyer, a third party, or by LinkedIn itself — should be reported to [email protected]. We acknowledge receipt within 1 business day and complete the investigation within 5 business days. Outcomes — including any corrective action — are documented in writing to the reporting party where lawful. Cross-references: /legal/terms/ §10 (incorporation by reference); /legal/refund/ (refund consequences on AUP breach).
