Host Agreement

Effective date: 2026-05-16. Version: draft 0.1. This is the agreement between SPUR Compute and any host listing GPU machines on the marketplace. Final version will be reviewed by counsel before binding production deployments. Tier 3 (Verified Datacentre) hosts sign a separate Datacentre Hosting Agreement that supersedes Tier 1/2 sections where they conflict.

1. Parties

This Agreement is between Spuric Innovation Center ("SPUR") and the individual or business identified during the host application ("Host"). Host warrants that the person executing this agreement has authority to bind the Host.

2. The relationship

Host lists GPU machines ("Host Equipment") on the SPUR Compute marketplace. SPUR accepts customer bookings against those listings, collects payment, and remits the agreed share to Host. Host is an independent contractor; nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, agency, or joint venture relationship.

3. Host obligations

  • Provide accurate listing information (GPU model, count, host CPU + RAM, network, location).
  • Operate Host Equipment in compliance with all applicable laws, including export controls.
  • Maintain at least the uptime committed at the chosen tier (Tier 1: 95%, Tier 2: 98%, Tier 3: 99.5% monthly).
  • Install and keep current the SPUR Agent. Do not interfere with its operation while customer workloads are running.
  • Provide the physical security commensurate with the chosen tier. Tier 3 hosts must maintain active third-party certification (ISO 27001 or equivalent).
  • Not access, copy, inspect, or interfere with customer data or workloads under any circumstance, except as permitted under section 7.
  • Promptly report any suspected security incident to security@spuric.com.

4. SPUR obligations

  • Operate the marketplace, container orchestration, billing, payment processing, customer support, and abuse handling.
  • List Host Equipment publicly with the verification badges Host has earned.
  • Pay Host the agreed share on a monthly cycle (see section 6).
  • Provide a host dashboard showing live booking activity, telemetry, earnings, and payout history.
  • Notify Host before any change in fee structure with at least 30 days lead time.

5. Fees + payout split

  • SPUR retains 5% of gross booking revenue from Host listings (the "Take Rate").
  • Host receives the remaining 95% via wire / SEPA / Interac e-Transfer / SPUR Token, at Host's election in the dashboard.
  • Payouts are issued by the 5th business day of each month for the prior month's bookings.
  • SPUR may withhold up to 10% as a reserve for chargebacks or disputed transactions; reserves are released within 90 days.
  • Reasonable processing fees (wire / SWIFT / Stripe / Token gas) are passed through at cost.

6. Verification + badges

Host badges are public commitments. If Host's underlying certification, registration, or ownership status changes such that the badge is no longer accurate, Host must notify SPUR within 5 business days. SPUR will adjust the badge accordingly. Misrepresentation is grounds for immediate termination.

7. Customer data + isolation

Host Equipment runs customer workloads inside isolated containers orchestrated by the SPUR Agent. Host has no right to inspect customer container contents. Host may inspect Host Equipment hardware logs, NVIDIA driver logs, network flow records, and system journalctl outputs for operational purposes only. If Host suspects abuse on their Equipment, Host must report to SPUR rather than intervening directly.

8. Service-level commitments

Host's listed Equipment is expected to honour the uptime target for its tier. If a Host listing falls below the target for two consecutive months, SPUR may de-list the Equipment and adjust Host's reliability score. Persistent breach is grounds for tier downgrade or termination.

9. Insurance + liability

Host is responsible for adequate insurance covering Host Equipment, the facility, and operations. SPUR is not liable for damage to or loss of Host Equipment. Host's liability to SPUR for breach of this Agreement is limited to the payouts received in the 6 months preceding the breach, except in cases of gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or violations of customer data isolation.

10. Term + termination

This Agreement runs until terminated. Either party may terminate with 30 days notice. SPUR may terminate immediately for breach of Host obligations, fraud, or legal compulsion. On termination, active customer bookings continue until their natural end (Host may not abruptly disconnect active bookings).

11. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other party's non-public information confidential and use it only to perform under this Agreement. This includes customer identities, pricing strategies, reliability metrics, and roadmap details shared in host channels.

12. Governing law

Ontario, Canada. Disputes exclusively in Ontario courts. International hosts agree to submit to Ontario jurisdiction for the purposes of this Agreement.

13. Signature + onboarding

Host executes this Agreement electronically by checking the consent box during the host application and again at SPUR Agent installation. Tier 3 hosts additionally execute a paper-signed Datacentre Hosting Agreement before listings go live.
