Terms of Service — Warppool

1. The service

Warppool operates a distributed GPU compute network. Job submitters upload WGSL compute kernels and chunk manifests. The coordinator dispatches chunks to browser-based workers who opt in to contributing GPU compute. Results are verified by redundancy and returned to submitters.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Warppool network to:

Submit kernels that attempt to escape the browser's GPU sandbox or access resources outside bound buffers.
Run cryptocurrency mining, proof-of-work, or any workload designed to generate tokens or coins.
Process data containing personal health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), or classified material.
Impersonate the consent prompt or misrepresent what the widget does to site visitors.
Intentionally return incorrect results to disrupt verification.

Violation may result in account suspension and permanent exclusion from the network.

3. For site owners (publishers)

By embedding the Warppool widget, you agree to display the consent prompt to visitors before any compute begins. You must not modify the consent UI to hide or obscure the opt-out mechanism. Compute credits accrue to your account based on verified completed work from your visitors.

4. For job submitters

Kernels you submit are visible to the workers that execute them. Do not embed secrets, credentials, or proprietary algorithms in shader source unless you are running on a private coordinator with a contractual NDA. Results are delivered on a best-effort basis; Warppool does not guarantee completion time or availability.

5. Research tier

Free-tier access for researchers requires verifiable institutional affiliation (university, public lab, K-12 school, registered research organization). Warppool reserves the right to revoke free-tier access if usage is inconsistent with research purposes.

6. Billing

Commercial workloads are billed per millisecond of completed, verified compute. You are only charged for chunks that returned a verified result. Failed chunks, timeouts, canary chunks, and redundant re-runs are absorbed by the network at no cost to you. Payment is processed by Stripe.

7. Limitation of liability

The Warppool network is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uptime, result accuracy beyond the redundancy mechanism, or fitness for any particular purpose. Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the preceding 12 months.

8. Age requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to create a Warppool account or use the service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated by email to account holders and posted on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
