Terms of Service — decent-render.farm (DRAFT)

DRAFT — not yet reviewed by counsel. Counterparty will be [Decent Render Verein] once registered; until then Block Lab GmbH, CHE-480.725.572.

1. Parties

1.1 These terms are between you (“Tenant”) and the operator of decent-render.farm. The counterparty will be [Decent Render Verein], [seat], Switzerland, once that association is registered. Until registration, Block Lab GmbH, CHE-480.725.572, [address] is the counterparty and will announce the handover by email.

1.2 Rendering machines are run by independent operators and by the network itself. Your contract is with the counterparty above, not with operators.

2. The service

2.1 Decent Render renders video compositions from Remotion bundles you upload: you submit a bundle and a render job; the network renders it and returns one output file.

2.2 The service is best-effort while the network is young. There is no SLA and no availability guarantee yet. We may refuse, queue, throttle, or cancel jobs, for example when no compatible machine is available or a job breaks section 4.

3. Account and API keys

3.1 You access the service through an account and API keys. Keep your keys secret — anyone holding a key can spend your credits.

3.2 You are responsible for all use made through your account and keys, by you or anyone who obtained a key from you. Report leaked keys immediately; we can pause or revoke them.

4. Acceptable use

4.1 Do not submit content that is illegal under Swiss law, or content you lack the rights to use and process — including copyright-infringing material and content violating third-party rights.

4.2 Do not attempt to inspect, interfere with, or attack operator machines or the network’s infrastructure: no probing, no scraping of other tenants’ data, no sandbox escapes, no denial-of-service against dispatch or workers. Accounts that try are suspended.

5. Your content

5.1 You keep ownership of what you upload and of what you get back. These terms transfer no rights in your content except processing it to render your job.

5.2 We and operators process your content for that one purpose. Operators never inspect, copy, or retain it; their devices delete all working data when the job ends. See the privacy notice for details and retention.

6. Credits and pricing

6.1 The service is paid in prepaid credits, priced when a job is accepted per /pricing: a flat 5 credits per started output-minute (4 for community-tier renders, 0 for self-render on your own hardware).

6.2 Credits are reserved on acceptance and settle to the exact quoted price. Canceled jobs release their hold; nothing is charged for jobs that never render.

6.3 Credits consumed by completed renders are not refundable. Unused credits are refundable on request within 30 days of purchase, at the imprint contact.

7. Availability

7.1 The service is provided “as is”. We may pause or limit it for maintenance, capacity, security, or legal reasons, and will announce planned downtime where practical.

8. Liability

8.1 Our liability is limited to the credits you paid in the last 12 months. Indirect damage, lost profits, and lost data are excluded, except where mandatory law provides otherwise — liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury, and under product liability law is unaffected.

9. Termination

9.1 Either side may end this agreement at any time. On your termination, unused credits are treated under section 6.3; accepted jobs finish unless you cancel.

10. Changes

10.1 We will give at least 30 days’ notice by email before a change takes effect. Continued use after the notice period means acceptance; otherwise terminate (section 9).

11. Governing law

11.1 Swiss law applies, excluding the CISG. Courts at the seat of the current counterparty (section 1) have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer forums.

Creating a workspace or submitting a render job means you accept these terms.
