Effective date: November 5, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the inference services provided by Verb Compute (“Verb Compute”, “we”, “us”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms on behalf of the organization you represent (“you”, “Customer”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who we are
Verb Compute is based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Company registration details will be published here once available.
2. The Service
Verb Compute provides an application programming interface (the “API”) that serves open-weight machine learning models on hardware we operate, together with related documentation and support (together, the “Service”). The Service is available through aggregators such as OpenRouter and, where agreed with you in writing, directly through our API. The models we serve, their prices and their limits are published in our /v1/models document and on the OpenRouter pages that list our endpoints, and may change as described in Section 9.
3. Access through OpenRouter
If you reach the Service through OpenRouter, your relationship with OpenRouter, including payment, is governed by OpenRouter’s terms. These Terms apply to the Service itself, including how we handle your content. Anything between Verb Compute and OpenRouter is governed by our agreement with OpenRouter.
4. Accounts and credentials
Direct access requires credentials issued by us. You are responsible for keeping credentials confidential, for all activity under them, and for telling us at contact@verb.com without delay if you believe they have been compromised. We may rotate or revoke credentials where we reasonably believe the Service is being misused.
5. Acceptable use
You must use the Service in compliance with applicable law and these Terms. You must not: (a) use the Service to generate or distribute content that is unlawful, infringes the rights of others, or is intended to harass, defraud or harm any person; (b) attempt to probe, circumvent or overload our rate limits, authentication or infrastructure; (c) use the Service in breach of the license of any model you call; (d) resell or offer the Service in a way that misrepresents its source or falsely claims to be operated by Verb Compute; or (e) use the Service for any purpose prohibited by Section 15 (Export controls and sanctions). We may suspend access that we reasonably believe breaches this Section.
6. Your content and data
You retain all rights in the prompts you send and the outputs you receive (“Customer Content”). We process Customer Content only to provide the Service. We do not use Customer Content to train models, and we do not store the content of prompts or completions. We keep per-request metadata (such as timestamps, model, status and token counts) for billing, reconciliation and reliability, for the period stated in our Privacy and Data Retention Policy at https://verb.com/compute/privacy, which forms part of these Terms.
7. Third-party models and outputs
The models we serve are published by third parties under their own licenses, as stated on each model’s Hugging Face page. You are responsible for complying with the license of each model you call. Outputs are generated by statistical models and may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for your purpose. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them, and you must not use the Service as the sole basis for decisions that could cause serious harm to a person, including medical, legal, financial or safety-critical decisions, without qualified human review.
8. Fees and payment
Where you access the Service directly, fees are usage-based at the per-token prices published in our /v1/models document at the time of each request, unless we have agreed other prices with you in writing. We invoice monthly in US dollars. Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Prices exclude taxes; you are responsible for any VAT, withholding or similar taxes other than taxes on our income. You must raise any invoice dispute in writing within 15 days of the invoice date; undisputed amounts remain payable. Usage through OpenRouter is billed by OpenRouter under its terms and is not invoiced by us.
9. Availability, limits and changes
We aim to keep the Service available and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may set and change rate and concurrency limits per model; requests above a limit receive an HTTP 429 response and should be retried later. We may add, update, re-price or withdraw models, and may change the API, with notice through our /v1/models document, our website or OpenRouter where reasonably practicable. We may suspend the Service for maintenance, security or legal reasons.
10. Intellectual property
We and our licensors own the Service, including our software, infrastructure and documentation. These Terms grant you no rights in the Service other than the right to use it as described. If you give us feedback about the Service, we may use it without obligation to you. Nothing in these Terms transfers rights in Customer Content to us, or rights in third-party models to you.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of outputs.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill; and (b) our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid us for the Service in that period, or USD 1,000 if greater. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, or to your breach of Section 5 (Acceptable use) or Section 15 (Export controls and sanctions).
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Verb Compute against third-party claims, and the resulting damages, costs and reasonable legal fees, arising from your Customer Content, your use of outputs, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
14. Suspension and termination
Either party may end direct access on 30 days’ written notice. We may suspend or end access immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if continued service would create a material security or legal risk. On termination, accrued fees remain payable, and the provisions that by their nature should survive, including Sections 6, 7 and 10 to 13 and Sections 15 and 16, continue to apply.
15. Export controls and sanctions
The Service runs on hardware and software subject to export control and sanctions laws, including those of the United States and the United Arab Emirates. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not listed on, or owned or controlled by a person listed on, any sanctions or restricted-party list. You must not use the Service, or allow it to be used, for any end use prohibited by those laws, including the development of weapons or military end uses, and you must not provide access to any person to whom such access is prohibited.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The courts of Abu Dhabi have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect the Service or our intellectual property.
17. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy and Data Retention Policy and any written agreement between us, are the entire agreement about the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or a successor. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version at https://verb.com/compute/terms with a new effective date; material changes take effect 14 days after posting, and continued use after that date is acceptance of the revised Terms. Notices to us go to contact@verb.com. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These Terms do not create a partnership, agency or joint venture.
