Everyone touching the network: renters running workloads, providers hosting them, and anyone calling our APIs. It forms part of the Terms of Service.

• Cryptomining on rented capacity unless the listing explicitly permits it.
• Child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content sexualising minors — zero tolerance, reported to authorities.
• Distribution of infringing, stolen, or sanctioned goods, data, or media.
• Offensive security tooling aimed at third parties: scanning, exploitation, credential stuffing, or password cracking without documented authorisation.
• Botnet command and control, DDoS infrastructure, spam relays, or bulk unsolicited messaging.
• Deepfakes or voice clones of identifiable people used for fraud, harassment, or election manipulation.
• Scraping or training that violates the rights of identifiable individuals, or breaches a source's terms in a way that exposes the network to liability.
• Deliberate attempts to escape container or hypervisor isolation, read other tenants' memory, or attack the provider's host.
• Any use that breaches applicable sanctions, export-control, or anti-money-laundering law.

Providers must not inspect, copy, or interfere with renter workloads or data; must not fake heartbeats, specs, or availability; and must not resell a rented session to a third party. Providers may decline categories of work through listing tags — for example refusing mining or adult content — and those tags are enforced at match time.

Do not attempt to bypass metering, run beyond the resources allocated to your rental, or use API endpoints in a way designed to defeat rate limits. Automated access must respect published limits and identify itself honestly.

Send reports to abuse@gpu-network.xyz with the rental or listing identifier, timestamps in UTC, and any evidence you can share. Security vulnerabilities go to security@gpu-network.xyz instead — see the security page. We acknowledge abuse reports within one business day.

Depending on severity we may warn, suspend a workload, delist hardware, freeze an account pending review, or terminate access. Where funds are locked against an offending rental we return them to the affected party wherever practicable. Serious cases are referred to law enforcement. You may appeal any action to abuse@gpu-network.xyz and we will review with a person who was not part of the original decision.
