1. Acceptance of these terms
By creating an account, signing in, or using the DistrAi platform (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. The Service
DistrAi is a GPU compute marketplace that connects two sides: buyers, who rent GPU compute by the hour, and providers, who contribute their own GPU hardware to the network. The Service offers two reliability tiers:
- Institutional tier — SLA-backed datacenter-grade GPUs targeting 99.9% uptime.
- Community tier — best-effort supply from idle community machines at a lower per-GPU-hour rate.
3. Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts to use the Service. You must provide accurate, current information and keep it updated.
Buyer and provider are separate account types. You sign in through the sign-in page that matches your account type, and the Service prevents one type from using the other’s sign-in. You may hold one buyer account and one provider account, but they are not interchangeable.
4. Buyer terms
Credits you purchase or receive (including plan-included credit) are pre-paid value held on your account. They are non-refundable, have no cash value, and may expire according to the terms of your plan. Usage is billed per GPU-second at the published rate for your tier and GPU type, with plan-included credit applied first.
You are responsible for the workloads you submit and for ensuring you have the rights to run the data, models, and code you send to the network.
5. Provider terms
As a provider you warrant that you own or control the GPUs you contribute, that you have the legal right to rent them out, and that running workloads on them will not violate any agreement, law, or third-party right.
You earn per GPU-second at the published provider rate for the GPU type and tier. Revenue is split 70% to the provider and 30% to DistrAi: when a buyer pays for a job, the provider whose hardware ran it receives 70% of that payment and DistrAi retains 30% as its network fee. Earnings are credited to your provider balance.
You may request a payout of your available balance through the Payout process. DistrAi does not guarantee that any jobs will be matched to your hardware or that you will earn a minimum amount.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to:
- Process, store, or transmit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content.
- Distribute malware, ransomware, or tools whose primary purpose is attacking systems.
- Mine cryptocurrency for personal profit, or use the network to circumvent security, licensing, or access controls.
- Develop or operate weapons, or process content that exploits or harms minors.
- Interfere with the Service, other users, or provider hardware.
We may suspend or terminate access for violations, and may remove offending workloads without notice.
7. Payments and billing
Buyers may top up credit and select a subscription plan. All amounts are denominated in US dollars. Provider earnings are held as a credit balance and paid out through the Payout process; DistrAi does not currently offer any other real-money payout mechanism.
8. Intellectual property
DistrAi owns the Service, its brand, and its software. You retain all rights to the data, models, and code you submit. By submitting a workload you grant DistrAi and the matched provider a limited, temporary license to run that workload on the network solely to provide the Service.
9. Service level
The institutional tier targets 99.9% uptime. The community tier is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
10. Liability
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, DistrAi is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and its total liability for any claim is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
11. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account or access for violations of these Terms or where required to protect the Service or other users.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Service. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which DistrAi is established. If you have questions, contact us at contact@distrai.com.
