Acceptable Use Policy

Stable routes depend on clean traffic. This policy sets out what you may and may not send through CLIRoutes, and how we enforce it.

Last updated 8 November 2026 · Template — review with counsel before launch.

01Principles

Every call on our network must be lawful in both the originating and destination countries, must present a caller ID the customer is entitled to use, and — where the law requires — must be made with the called party’s consent.

02Caller ID rules

  • Present only numbers you own, numbers we have assigned to you, or numbers whose holder has authorised you in writing.
  • Do not present numbers belonging to emergency services, government bodies, banks or other organisations you do not represent.
  • Follow per-country presentation rules (for example STIR/SHAKEN attestation in the US and Canada, the 0303 prefix for telemarketing in Brazil, Ofcom CLI guidance in the UK).
  • Do not alter caller ID to mislead, cause harm or obtain anything of value.

04Prohibited traffic

The following is never permitted:

  • Fraud, scams, phishing, impersonation or extortion.
  • Calls to numbers on applicable do-not-call lists without a valid exemption.
  • Traffic pumping, artificially inflated traffic, IRSF or wangiri patterns.
  • Harassment, threats, hate speech or content unlawful in either country.
  • Reselling to parties who have not accepted equivalent terms.

05Monitoring and enforcement

We monitor traffic patterns (short-duration ratios, answer-seizure anomalies, complaint volumes and traceback requests) to protect routes and called parties. Where we see risk we may rate-limit, block destinations or caller IDs, suspend the account, and retain funds needed to cover fines or carrier charges.

We cooperate with industry traceback groups and regulators. Repeated or serious violations lead to permanent termination.

06Reporting abuse

If you received an unwanted call you believe passed through our network, email [email protected] with the calling number, called number and time (with time zone). We investigate every report.
