RunPod's Terms of Service govern access to and use of its GPU cloud platform, covering services including on-demand Cloud GPUs, Serverless inference endpoints, multi-node Clusters, and the RunPod Hub.

The terms also establish user obligations regarding acceptable use of the platform's GPU resources across its 31 global regions.
This document governs use of RunPod Inc.'s GPU cloud platform services, including Cloud GPUs, Serverless endpoints, Clusters, and the RunPod Hub, establishing a contractual relationship between RunPod Inc. and users on the basis of acceptance of posted terms. The agreement addresses platform usage conditions, account responsibilities, payment and refund terms, and user obligations, with the terms authorized by RunPod asserting the right to modify terms, manage account access, and govern payment processing. The document's full text was not completely available for review due to truncation in the provided source, which limits the ability to assess specific arbitration, liability limitation, or data handling clauses with full precision; however, the meta description confirms coverage of payments, refunds, and user responsibilities as operative provisions. As a cloud infrastructure provider processing payments and potentially handling user-generated workloads, RunPod's terms likely engage the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices, and may require evaluation under GDPR or CCPA depending on the data processing activities described in associated privacy documentation. Compliance teams should assess the scope of refund limitations, acceptable use restrictions for GPU workloads, and any indemnification or liability cap provisions once the complete document text is reviewed.
