PeerLLM Host Agreement
Version: 1.3.0
Effective Date: March 27, 2026
0. Important Notice
PeerLLM is an experimental distributed AI network. By operating a Host, you acknowledge and accept the following:
- You may earn money, or you may earn nothing
- You may incur costs including hardware, electricity, cooling, and internet usage
- Your operating costs may exceed any earnings
- No guarantees of traffic, uptime, workload, or income are provided
- The system may change, pause, or terminate at any time
If you do not accept these risks, do not operate a Host.
1. Independent Participation
You are an independent participant and not an employee, contractor, partner, agent, joint venturer, or representative of BestBytes AI LLC. Nothing in this Agreement creates any employment, partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or similar relationship between you and BestBytes AI LLC.
2. No Guaranteed Earnings
Participation does not guarantee income. Earnings may be zero. Network demand is unpredictable and controlled by the PeerLLM system. Payments are not guaranteed and may be zero. You acknowledge that operating a Host may result in financial loss.
You acknowledge that you are not relying on PeerLLM as a source of income or financial opportunity.
2.1 No Reliance
You acknowledge that you are not relying on PeerLLM as a source of income, employment, or financial opportunity. Participation is voluntary and speculative.
3. Costs and Hardware Responsibility
You are solely responsible for all costs associated with operating your Host, including hardware, electricity, cooling, internet usage, bandwidth, maintenance, repair, and replacement. BestBytes AI LLC is not liable for hardware damage, degradation, overheating, system instability, service interruptions, or operational costs of any kind.
4. Payments
If payments are enabled, they are discretionary and based on internal usage calculations and platform rules determined by BestBytes AI LLC. Payments may be adjusted, delayed, reduced, withheld, reversed, or revoked at any time, including in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, security risk, policy violation, legal risk, payment processor limitations, or system error.
Payments may be subject to third-party processors and may be delayed, restricted, reversed, or fail due to factors outside the control of BestBytes AI LLC.
You have no ownership claim over user payments, platform revenue, or any funds collected by BestBytes AI LLC. BestBytes AI LLC does not hold funds in trust, escrow, or custody on your behalf.
Any subscription fees, access fees, or host-related charges are separate from earnings and do not guarantee income, traffic, or payout of any kind.
BestBytes AI LLC may modify pricing, payout rates, calculations, eligibility requirements, and economic structure at any time.
Nothing in this Agreement creates any entitlement to revenue sharing, profit sharing, wages, or financial participation in PeerLLM. Payments, if any, are discretionary service-based compensation only.
5. Taxes and Compliance
You are solely responsible for all taxes, reporting obligations, registrations, filings, fees, duties, and legal compliance in your jurisdiction. BestBytes AI LLC may require submission of tax documentation, identity verification, or other compliance documentation before issuing payments, including but not limited to IRS forms or equivalent documentation for non-U.S. persons. Failure to provide requested documentation may result in delayed, reduced, or withheld payments.
6. Data Processing
You may process user prompts, outputs, metadata, or related information transiently as part of network operation. You may not store, log, retain, copy, reuse, disclose, analyze, inspect beyond what is technically necessary, sell, sublicense, or train on this data. You act only as a temporary processor for execution purposes and acquire no rights in any such data.
Hosts do not control, review, originate, or assume responsibility for the prompts or content they process merely by virtue of automated routing. PeerLLM routes requests automatically, and Hosts function only as execution nodes within the network.
You do not acquire any ownership, rights, or claims over user prompts, outputs, or any data processed through the network.
7. Security
You must take reasonable and appropriate measures to secure your system, credentials, environment, and network against unauthorized access, malware, abuse, interception, and misuse. Failure to maintain reasonable security may result in suspension, termination, blocked payments, or permanent removal from the platform.
BestBytes AI LLC may monitor, test, inspect, simulate traffic, or audit Host behavior at any time to ensure compliance, quality, security, and integrity of the network.
8. Model and License Compliance
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all models, weights, software, dependencies, datasets, and other components you run or expose through PeerLLM are properly licensed and legally usable for your intended use. You are solely responsible for any violations, claims, damages, or obligations arising from your use of such components.
9. Platform Control
The PeerLLM system determines routing, scheduling, prioritization, workload distribution, availability, and related platform behavior in its sole discretion. No guarantees of traffic, priority, fairness, minimum usage, uptime, or continuity are provided.
Hosts may receive zero requests at any time, regardless of availability, performance, or configuration.
10. Acceptable Use
You must not generate illegal content, manipulate routing, falsify capacity, interfere with platform operations, tamper with requests or responses, attempt to intercept data, abuse the payment system, or otherwise misuse PeerLLM.
You must provide complete, meaningful, and non-deceptive outputs. Repeated low-quality, incomplete, or misleading responses may result in reduced routing, withheld payments, or removal from the network.
Violations may result in immediate suspension, permanent removal, forfeiture of payments, referral to payment processors, or referral to law enforcement where appropriate.
11. Experimental Nature
PeerLLM is an experimental system and may change at any time without notice. Features, APIs, payout systems, eligibility rules, host requirements, moderation controls, security controls, routing behavior, and platform economics may be added, removed, paused, or modified at any time. The platform may experience outages, interruptions, degraded performance, or data loss.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
PeerLLM is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, security, or uninterrupted operation.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, BestBytes AI LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or lost-profit damages, or for any loss of data, loss of goodwill, hardware damage, business interruption, utility cost, security event, or economic loss arising from or related to your participation in PeerLLM.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of BestBytes AI LLC shall not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100), or (b) the total amount actually paid to you during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

16. Dispute Resolution
