Provider Terms

These Provider Terms apply in addition to the Terms of Service when you list offers on Numes as a provider, run the provider software, or connect a hosted source. If they conflict with the Terms of Service on a provider matter, these Provider Terms control.

Becoming a provider

You may become a provider after you create a provider in the dashboard and we approve it. We review providers, endpoints and offers before they take traffic, and we may approve, reject, hold or suspend any of them at our discretion. Approval is not an endorsement and can be withdrawn.

You act as an independent business, not as our employee, agent or partner. You are responsible for your hardware, upstream accounts, staff, taxes and compliance with the laws that apply to you, including export-control and sanctions laws.

Your offers and declarations

Each offer you publish is a binding statement. You must ensure that it is, and stays, accurate:

• Model identity. You serve exactly the model, weights, quantization and configuration you declared, mapped to the reviewed catalogue identity.

• Capabilities and limits. Context length, output limits, supported features, modalities and capacity are true.

• Data policy. Your endpoint's declared data collection, retention period and serving locations describe what actually happens to customer content, including at any upstream service you use.

• Usage. Usage you report reflects the work actually performed.

Update or pause an offer before its declaration stops being true. Customers rely on your declarations to choose where their data goes.

Rights to what you serve

You must hold every right needed to serve each model commercially through the Service, including under the model's license and, for hosted sources, under the terms of the upstream account you connect. If an upstream service's terms do not allow you to resell or proxy its output, do not connect it. You are responsible for upstream fees and for keeping upstream credentials valid.

Customer content

You receive customer content only to serve the request it belongs to. You must:

• process it only to generate the response, within your declared data policy;

• not use it to train or improve models, unless your declared policy says you collect data and the customer's routing allowed collection;

• not try to identify, profile or contact the customers behind requests;

• protect it with appropriate security measures and tell us promptly through [email protected] about any incident affecting it;

• delete it when your declared retention period ends.

Where data protection law treats you as a processor for a customer, you will process content only to serve the request and on the terms above. Where you retain or use content as your declaration permits, you do so as an independent controller, responsible for your own compliance.

Verification and measurement

We verify offers before and after they take traffic, measure every endpoint's health, latency, throughput and errors, and run additional unannounced checks, including behavioral analysis, to confirm that endpoints serve what they advertise. You must not detect, special-case or interfere with these checks. Measurements we record are the authority for routing; your own reports are kept as evidence.

Pricing

You set your own prices per unit of usage, in the currencies you choose to offer. Prices may be reviewed against reference market prices before they are routed. The customer price is your price plus our platform fee, which is added on top; your earnings are not reduced by it. We may change the platform fee with 30 days' notice; the fee that applies is recorded with each request.

Earnings

You earn your price multiplied by the usage measured and delivered to customers. A request that delivers no billable output to the customer earns nothing.

• Pending and available. New earnings are pending for a release period, and part may be held in reserve, before they become available to withdraw. The current release period and reserve are shown in the dashboard and in Earnings and payouts.

• Separate currencies. USD and BTC earnings are kept separately and never converted.

• Chargebacks and reversals. If a customer payment is refunded, disputed or found fraudulent, we may reverse the related earnings, including from your available balance.

• Withholding. We may extend holds, withhold or reverse earnings, and review withdrawals, if we reasonably suspect fraud, misrepresentation of a model, its capabilities, usage or data handling, a breach of these terms, or a legal requirement. We will tell you why where we lawfully can, and release earnings that turn out to be legitimate.

Withdrawals

• USD, where enabled, is paid through Stripe Connect to a payout account you onboard with Stripe, in the countries it supports for us. You must complete Stripe's identity and tax checks and accept its terms. Withdrawals have minimum and maximum amounts and may be reviewed before they are approved.

• BTC, where enabled, is paid over the Lightning Network or on-chain to the destination you give. Network and application fees are deducted as shown before you confirm. Bitcoin payments are irreversible, so check the destination carefully.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your payout details and for taxes on your earnings. Where the law requires, we may collect tax information and report payments to tax authorities.

Provider software

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and run the provider software, including its command-line, terminal and desktop interfaces, solely to provide offers on the Service, subject to any open-source license that applies to specific components. Keep the software updated; we may stop accepting connections from versions with security or protocol issues. Do not modify it to misreport usage, measurements or identity.

The provider software connects outbound to the Service and stores its credentials on your machine. You are responsible for securing that machine and its credentials.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend an endpoint or provider if it fails verification, breaches these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or creates risk for customers. You may pause or delete offers and endpoints at any time; deleting a provider does not erase earnings already recorded. After termination we pay out available earnings that are not subject to withholding, less amounts you owe us, once any release period and review have ended.

Liability

The disclaimers and limitation of liability in the Terms of Service apply to you as a provider. You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your offers, your inaccurate declarations, your handling of customer content, or your infringement of a model license or upstream terms.
