AI & LLM Usage Policy
At Inner Light Crystals we care deeply about the integrity of our content, the privacy of our customers, and the respectful use of our work. This page explains how Artificial Intelligence systems and Large Language Models (LLMs) may interact with our website and under what conditions.
Our aim is to allow helpful, customer-focused AI assistance while protecting our original writing, product data, and commercial interests.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to all automated systems that access content from:
https://innerlightcrystals.co.uk/https://innerlightcrystals.co.uk/sales/
It is a human-readable companion to our machine-readable rules in
/robots.txt, /llms.txt, and /sales/llms.txt.
What AI systems may use
We permit responsible AI systems to access and summarise the following types of content:
- Public, editorial, and informational pages
- Crystal meanings, metaphysical properties, and educational articles
- Blog posts and topic summaries
- General site information such as About Us, FAQs, and contact details
- Non-transactional policy pages (shipping, privacy, conditions)
AI systems may use this information to provide:
- High-level product discovery and guidance
- Summaries and paraphrasing of public content
- Accessibility support (for example, rephrasing or simplifying text)
- Translation for individual users
- Customer-facing assistance that points back to our site
Training vs inference
To avoid ambiguity, we distinguish between two types of AI use:
- Training use: using our content to train, fine-tune, or expand an AI model or dataset.
- Inference use: using an existing model to answer questions or assist users in real time.
Our position is:
- Training use is not permitted.
- Inference use is permitted only for customer-facing assistance, discovery, and summarisation that respects the restrictions below.
What is not permitted
Content and data restrictions
AI systems and automated tools must not:
- Reproduce our product descriptions or pages in full
- Use user-generated content (such as reviews or messages) for training or storage
- Build datasets, embeddings, or derivative collections from our content
- Systematically enumerate products, categories, or parameterised URLs
- Perform synthetic competitor analysis or infer pricing models from our site
Commercial and transactional restrictions
Our shop content is transactional and commercially sensitive. AI systems must not:
- Scrape or track prices, discounts, or historical price changes
- Monitor stock levels, inventory, or availability
- Access or use cart, checkout, account, or order pages
- Target structured parameters such as
price,stock,inventory,availability,sku, orvariant - Generate automated resale, marketplace, or comparison listings based on our content
- Train or adapt models primarily for commercial undercutting or competitive exploitation
Crawling and technical guidance
Automated systems should respect the technical guidance published in our machine-readable files. In particular:
- Follow the paths and patterns allowed or disallowed in
/robots.txtand ourllms.txtfiles - Respect crawl rate and delay recommendations
- Use canonical URLs where available
- Avoid internal search, filtered, or parameter-expanded URLs unless strictly necessary for user navigation
For detailed, machine-readable rules, please refer to:
/robots.txt/llms.txt/sales/llms.txt
Why we have this policy
Inner Light Crystals invests significant time, care, and experience into creating original descriptions, crystal information, and product listings. This policy exists to:
- Protect the uniqueness and integrity of our content
- Ensure customers receive accurate, human-curated information
- Allow helpful AI assistance without enabling competitive misuse

We support responsible, ethical use of AI that benefits individual users and respects the work of creators and small businesses.

This page is a human-readable summary of our intentions for AI and LLM usage. In the event of
any discrepancy, the rules expressed in /robots.txt, /llms.txt, and
/sales/llms.txt take precedence for automated systems.
