Bolt is democratizing ecommerce by making online buying easy, trusted, and consistent for millions of shoppers! Bolt is an end to end checkout platform that makes the buying experience safe, secure, and easier than ever with a one-click, passwordless login. While we believe the free and open exchange of ideas and products is a key tenet of commerce, there are some activities that are incompatible with Bolt’s mission to make ecommerce better for everyone. This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) describes activities that are prohibited in connection with your use of the Services (as defined in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy).
