Acceptable Use Policies Github Bullying And Harassment (GitHub)

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 13 Oct 2025

The GitHub Bullying and Harassment Policy defines prohibited behaviours on the platform, including targeted attacks, intimidation, sexual harassment, and attempts to evade moderation. It is an official GitHub policy, ensuring a safe and respectful community environment and providing clear standards that can be relied upon in enforcement situations.

[company name] Bullying and Harassment

We do not tolerate harassment, bullying, or abuse of any kind, whether directly or by encouraging others to take part in the prohibited conduct. This includes:

Targeted personal attacks

Piling on to or orchestrating disruptive activity in a way that amounts to abuse

Following another user around the platform in a manner that causes intimidation

Making sexual advances or comments directed at another individual

Disingenuously participating in conversation in a way that instigates conflict or undermines sincere discussion

Creating alternative accounts specifically to evade moderation action taken by [company name] staff or users

Please note, not all unwelcome conduct is necessarily considered harassment. For example, disagreeing with another user or downvoting their comments may not rise to the level of harassment on our platform. In addition, sharing criticism of [public figures / projects / topics of public interest], does not necessarily fall under this policy. However, we encourage you to be mindful in how you engage with other users and the platform, as this activity may still violate our restriction on [restricted behavior] e.g. disrupting the experience of other users

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
