Terms of Service
Version tos-v2-draft · Last updated: July 2026 — draft pending legal review
1. Acceptance & eligibility
By using Thumper-Run, you agree to these terms. The desktop application is provided free of charge for local use. [LEGAL: confirm] Cloud services are paid via prepaid compute credits (NOT a subscription) — see §11 (Billing & credits).
2. Your content & IP
You own everything you create with Thumper-Run. We claim no rights to your generated images, audio, text, models, or any other content.
3. Service tiers
Thumper offers: (a) the free local desktop app (no usage limits; runs AI models on your own hardware — you are responsible for meeting each app's requirements); (b) a free web account for browsing and account management; (c) cloud compute paid with prepaid credits; and (d) the marketplace for buying and selling apps and models.
4. Cloud services & credits
[LEGAL: confirm] Cloud compute is drawn down from prepaid credits (the shipped model), NOT billed against a subscription plan, and there are no “unused cloud hours” that expire per-cycle. We reserve the right to terminate instances that violate our acceptable use policy. Credit top-ups, teardown refunds, and the billing-gate caveat are covered in §11.
5. Publishing & the catalog
When you publish to the catalog you claim a stable package namespace, may sign your releases, and are subject to namespace stewardship and takeover rules. Trust-tier and takeover decisions are made by Thumper moderators.
6. Marketplace purchases
Purchases are from independent third-party sellers; Thumper collects payment as each seller's limited agent. Buyer terms and the refund policy govern purchases — see Marketplace Terms and Refund Policy.
7. Selling & prohibited content
Sellers are bound by the Seller Agreement and the Prohibited Content policy. Payouts are subject to identity verification and applicable tax reporting.
8. Acceptable use & content screening
You may not use Thumper-Run cloud services to generate content that is illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others. Local usage on your own hardware is not subject to content restrictions. Copyright complaints and repeat infringers are handled under our DMCA & Repeat-Infringer Policy.
9. Enforcement, suspension & appeals
We may issue strikes, suspend accounts, or apply a killswitch/teardown to content that violates these terms. You can view your standing and appeal at Account standing.
10. Identity verification & privacy
Some actions (e.g. seller payouts, certain complaints) require identity verification. Your data is governed by our Privacy Policy; local-first architecture keeps your data on your devices by default.
11. Billing & credits
[LEGAL: confirm] Cloud usage draws down prepaid credits. Top-ups, teardown refunds, and any billing-gate caveats apply as configured. This section supersedes any legacy “subscription” wording elsewhere on the site.
12. Account deletion & data
You may delete your account; server-side data is purged (tier-2). Deletion is refused while a cloud lease is still open — tear it down first.
13. Disclaimers & liability
[LEGAL] Warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity to be finalized by counsel.
14. Governing law & disputes
[LEGAL: jurisdiction + registered address to be provided by counsel — same owner blocker as PRIVACY_POLICY.md:135]
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify users of material changes via email and in-app notification.
