These Terms of Service (“Terms”) set forth the legal agreement between Aedilic Inc, doing business as GPUDeploy ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), a company registered in Delaware, United States at 1209 Orange St , Wilmington, DE 19801, and the person or entity exercising the rights granted by these Terms (“you,” “your”).  These Terms govern your use of the website https://www.gpudeploy.com (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services of the Company that refer or link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services").

The Company provides a platform that matches users of GPU computing resources (“GPU Users”) with available servers with GPUs (“GPU Resources”) hosted by GPU owners who wish to rent out their GPU Resources (“GPU Providers”), and that allocates these GPU Resources to GPU Users as instances and facilitates the GPU Users' connection to such instances.  The Company’s platform also provides tools and software for GPU Providers to manage their hosted GPU Resources and rent them out through the platform to earn money based on usage. GPU Providers that rent out their GPU Resources through the Services additionally agree to be bound by the Supplemental Terms available at https:// gpudeploy.com/supplement.html, and those Supplemental Terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference with respect to any GPU Providers who provide GPU Resources.

You can contact us by phone at (US) +1 (925) 398-3448, by email at contact@gpudeploy.com, or by mail at 2261 Market St., Suite 5762, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS (OR IF YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS FOR YOURSELF AND FOR ANY ENTITY YOU REPRESENT), THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

The Company may amend these Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms on the Site, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any such amendment.

These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13.1.       Binding Arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute or claim (“Dispute”) through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online video conference. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California. Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and the parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If any provision of this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

13.2.       Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with, or brought in coordination with, any other arbitration or other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

13.3.       Exceptions to Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; (c) any claim for injunctive relief; or (d) claims that qualify for small claims court.
