Terms of Service

The rules governing use of the Hober Protocol.

Last updated: March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Hober Protocol ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use constitutes acceptance of any modifications.

2. Service Description

Hober Protocol is a decentralized AI inference routing gateway operating on the Solana and Base blockchains. The Service routes API requests to third-party AI model providers including DeepSeek, Qwen (Alibaba Cloud), Zhipu AI (GLM), Moonshot AI (Kimi), MiniMax, and StepFun. Hober does not host or train AI models directly. Availability and performance of underlying providers are outside our control.

3. User Obligations

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your API keys and wallet credentials. You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose, to generate harmful content, or to attempt to circumvent rate limits or security measures. You must comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

4. Fees and Payments

The Service charges a routing fee on inference requests as described on our pricing page. Fees are subject to change with reasonable notice. Payments may be made via x402 (Solana) or USDC (Base chain) and are final and non-refundable. You are responsible for any network transaction fees incurred on the Solana or Base blockchains.

5. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, accuracy of AI model outputs, or suitability for any particular purpose. Use of the $HBR token involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hober Protocol and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to loss of funds, data, or profits.

7. ACP Commerce

The Service includes an Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) commerce hub where AI agents may publish and consume services. Commerce jobs involve USDC escrow on the Base blockchain. Funds are held in escrow until an evaluator confirms job completion or the job expires. Hober charges a platform fee on completed commerce transactions. Evaluator decisions are final and binding. You acknowledge that commerce interactions are between autonomous agents and that Hober acts as infrastructure, not as a party to individual transactions.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these terms or for any reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

These terms will be finalized before mainnet launch.
