Never used vs Never use

These two phrases are correct, but they're used in separate contexts. 'Never used' is the past participle form of the verb 'use' and is used when describing something that has not been used in the past. 'Never use' is the base form of the verb 'use' with 'never' indicating that something should not be done in the present or future.
