GPU Kitchen Enterprise License

1. AGREEMENT AND SCOPE

The "Software" means the GPU Kitchen Enterprise Edition, its enterprise modules, and the binaries, container images and updates supplied under this license. The proprietary code, files and assets under ee/ are covered by this license. Access to that source code grants no right to build, modify or distribute it unless the Commercial Agreement expressly permits this.

The "Commercial Agreement" means an order form, accepted online order or other written agreement with the Publisher. It identifies the Customer, covered installations, plan, options, term and payment conditions. A person accepting it for the Customer must have authority to bind the Customer. The Customer must receive and accept this license as part of that agreement. Reading this page alone does not place an order.

An "Installation" means one GPU Kitchen controller and all worker nodes enrolled to it. The billing organization groups the Customer's covered installations. An "Active member" means an enabled person account on an Installation, including administrators.

The Commercial Agreement prevails over this license where they conflict. This license governs the Enterprise Edition as a whole, without requiring the Customer to combine it with the Community License. The Community Edition remains governed by its own license. Third-party licenses remain applicable as described in Section 8.

2. LICENSE GRANT

While the Commercial Agreement is in force and the license is active or within an expressly granted grace period, the Publisher grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to install and run the Software for its own internal business purposes. Use must remain within the installations, plan, options and other scope agreed in writing.

The Customer may make copies necessary for that use and for backups. Its employees and contractors may operate the Software on its behalf, subject to this license and under its responsibility. They receive no independent license. Affiliates and third-party customers are not separately licensed unless the Commercial Agreement includes them.

No enterprise evaluation license, source license, redistribution right or right to operate a hosted GPU Kitchen service is implied. Any such right requires the Publisher's express written agreement. Continued technical access does not extend the licensed scope or waive payment obligations.

3. PLANS AND OPTIONS

Studio and Enterprise use the same Enterprise Edition. Studio provides the paid capabilities listed for that plan. Enterprise adds the enterprise SSO option. The support option can be added to either plan. The applicable capabilities and prices are identified in the Commercial Agreement and the pricing schedule at https://gpu.kitchen/pricing.

The Community Edition can be used under its separate license within its free limits. Exceeding either the free GPU-power allowance or the active member allowance, or using a paid capability, requires the appropriate paid plan. Selecting an option does not grant access to other unpurchased options.

4. FEES, METERING AND CREDITS

The Commercial Agreement states the one-year commitment and payment choice: annual payment in advance or monthly instalments of the annual commitment. The applicable discount or surcharge is shown with that choice. Monthly payment does not by itself make the commitment cancellable each month. Renewal, cancellation, taxes and any refunds are governed by the Commercial Agreement and applicable law. This license creates no automatic renewal or automatic charge to a payment method.

Use is metered against the Customer's prepaid credit balance. Daily charges reflect the connected, billable installations, their GPU power in GPUk, active members, selected options and the applicable minimum. GPU power measures installed capacity, not inference requests or time spent computing. The published scale uses one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 as one GPUk.

The free allowances apply once across the billing organization. An active member account present on two installations counts on each installation. The pricing schedule defines the allowances, bands, minimum and options. Each credit purchase fixes the pricing-schedule version for that credit lot; the oldest positive lot is consumed first. A later price change does not reprice credits already bought. Usage changes can change the daily cost under the same schedule. A started daily metering period is due in full.

The Customer must provide accurate billing details and metering data. It can review its balance and charges in its account and report a discrepancy to hello@gpu.kitchen. Any agreed credit, correction or payment grace must be recorded by the Publisher. Voluntary supporter contributions do not buy an enterprise license or replace payment for the Software.

5. ONLINE VERIFICATION AND EXPIRY

An enterprise Installation must be registered with the GPU Kitchen online service and report the information needed to check and meter its license. This includes installation identity, connected hardware and the active member count. Permanently disconnected or air-gapped enterprise operation is not supported or licensed.

During a temporary connection failure, the last license decision remains valid for a limited period, normally seventy-two (72) hours. This technical tolerance is separate from payment grace and is not a free trial. Without a renewed decision after that period, or when credit and any payment grace are exhausted, paid capabilities become inactive as specified by the product.

Expiry does not stop running inference workloads or lock operators out of their existing authentication. Existing members, teams and access remain; new actions that require a paid plan may be refused. These continuity safeguards do not grant a continuing right to unpaid enterprise use. The Customer must restore its entitlement or return to use permitted by the Community License. Restoring an active license restores the paid rights within the Commercial Agreement.

6. RESTRICTIONS AND COMPLIANCE

Except as expressly permitted by this license, the Commercial Agreement or mandatory law, the Customer must not modify the Software, create derivative works, distribute it, sublicense it, sell or rent access to it, or offer it as a hosted or managed service to third parties. The Customer must not remove proprietary notices or falsify or bypass license checks, edition markings, hardware reports, member counts or other metering information.

Reverse engineering, decompilation and disassembly are prohibited only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in this license restricts mandatory rights to necessary backup copies, permitted observation, study or testing, or decompilation necessary for interoperability under the legal conditions, including Article L.122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

No more than once in any twelve-month period, on reasonable written notice, the Publisher may verify licensed use from relevant metering records. If those records are materially incomplete, the parties will arrange a limited remote review during normal business hours. Its scope must be proportionate and protect the Customer's confidential information. It grants no general access to prompts, outputs, model weights, credentials or unrelated systems. Any verified underpayment must be supported by records and calculated using the rates applicable to the period concerned, subject to correction of errors.

7. CUSTOMER SYSTEMS AND DATA

The Customer is responsible for its hardware, power, cooling, network, access controls, backups and lawful use of the Software. It chooses which models, engines and external providers it uses and must hold the rights needed for them and for the data it processes.

The Customer retains its rights in its data, model weights, prompts and outputs, subject to any third-party rights. This license transfers none of those rights to the Publisher. License verification does not require sending inference content or private model weights to the Publisher. The Customer controls optional sharing through the settings available under its plan; disabling the information needed for license verification prevents renewal of the online license decision.

The privacy policy at https://gpu.kitchen/privacy describes data sent to the online service, its purposes, retention and recipients. If a service requires the Publisher to process personal data on the Customer's behalf, the parties must agree the required data-processing terms before that processing starts. This software license does not replace those terms.

8. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND ONLINE SERVICES

Third-party components keep their own licenses. Their terms and notices are in the THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md files supplied with the Software. This license does not remove rights those licenses grant. Downloaded inference engines, models, GPU drivers and external services have separate terms; this license does not grant rights over them or include their fees.

The GPU Kitchen online services are governed by the terms at https://gpu.kitchen/terms and the applicable Commercial Agreement. Buying this license does not transfer ownership of those services or include the Customer's compute, hosting or third-party inference costs.

9. SUPPORT, UPDATES AND PRE-RELEASES

The Commercial Agreement defines support entitlement, coverage and any service levels. A support option does not imply a guaranteed response time, round-the-clock availability, on-site service or a service credit unless expressly agreed. No particular future feature is promised by this license.

Updates supplied during the agreed term are covered by this license unless different terms are expressly agreed for them. The Customer is responsible for backups and checking compatibility before deploying an update. Beta and other pre-release versions are for evaluation and early use and may change. This license alone does not activate a paid plan during a free beta.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

The Publisher and its licensors retain ownership of the Software and its documentation, trademarks and other intellectual property. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. No trademark license or right to claim endorsement is granted.

Each party must protect non-public information received from the other that is marked confidential or is reasonably understood to be confidential. It may use that information only to perform the agreement and disclose it only to people who need it and are bound to protect it. This does not cover information lawfully known already, independently developed, made public without breach, or lawfully received from another source. Legally required disclosure is permitted, with notice where lawful and practicable.

11. WARRANTIES AND RESPONSIBILITY

Any express warranties and remedies in the Commercial Agreement apply. Otherwise, to the extent permitted by law, the Software is supplied "as is" and "as available". The Publisher does not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, a particular benchmark result, model accuracy or fitness for the Customer's specific purpose. The Customer must assess model outputs before relying on them.

These terms do not remove mandatory legal warranties or deprive an essential contractual obligation of its substance. They do not release either party from obligations expressly accepted in the Commercial Agreement.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the extent permitted by law and unless the Commercial Agreement provides otherwise, the Publisher is not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Its total liability arising from this license is limited to the amounts paid by the Customer for the Software under the Commercial Agreement in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

No exclusion or cap applies to fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or any liability that applicable law does not allow the parties to exclude or limit. No limitation may deprive an essential contractual obligation of its substance.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

This license applies for the term of the Commercial Agreement. The Customer may stop using the Software at any time; this does not itself cancel an agreed payment commitment. Expiry of the online license status is governed by Section 5 and does not itself terminate the Commercial Agreement.

Either party may terminate for a material breach by the other that remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice describing the breach and the required remedy. The notice must state that termination will follow if the breach is not cured. Any immediate termination must have a basis in the Commercial Agreement or applicable law; the statutory conditions apply.

When the agreement ends, the Customer must stop using the Enterprise Edition and remove its copies, except copies retained as required by law or in inaccessible routine backups until their normal deletion. Retained copies may not be used. The Customer should export its data before termination. It may use the Community Edition only under that edition's license and limits. Technical continuity does not waive these obligations.

Accrued payment obligations, ownership, confidentiality, restrictions on retained copies, liability provisions and dispute terms survive to the extent needed to give them effect.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND GENERAL TERMS

French law governs this license, subject to mandatory applicable rules. The parties will first try to resolve a dispute through their designated contacts. Disputes fall within the courts competent under applicable law, unless a valid jurisdiction clause in the Commercial Agreement applies.

If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains effective to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. A revised web page does not by itself amend an existing Commercial Agreement. Changes to the accepted license require agreement; terms for a renewal or a new order must be provided before acceptance. The Customer should retain the accepted license version and Commercial Agreement.

Notices and questions may be sent to hello@gpu.kitchen or to the Publisher's postal address above. The Customer's notice details are those in the Commercial Agreement.
