Safety measures
Ikat uses automated and other safety measures to help identify and prevent prohibited content and misuse. We may block or restrict requests or content when appropriate. Safety measures may not detect every violation.
Reporting

Enforcement
Depending on the circumstances, Ikat may reject or restrict requests or content, limit features, suspend access, or terminate accounts when reasonably necessary to enforce this Policy, protect users, or comply with applicable requirements.
Appeals, changes, and contact
If you believe a safety decision or account action was made in error, contact support@ikat.app with the relevant account or generation reference when available.
