1. Business Positioning and Core Value

YossGate operates a high-performance, developer-focused AI API Gateway and Aggregation Platform (SaaS) accessible via yossgate.com. Through an OpenAI-compatible unified API specification, multi-region low-latency routing, robust concurrency management, and transparent usage-based billing, we enable engineers and businesses to access, evaluate, and switch between major generative AI models with minimal engineering overhead.

Customers purchase Platform API Credits (“Credits”) to pay for compute, proxy routing, token throughput, and platform infrastructure. We do not sell physical goods, software licenses, or consumer third-party subscription accounts.

2. Operating Entity and Jurisdiction

The Service is operated and provided by YossGate Team, located in Singapore, Republic of Singapore. All payments processed on the platform are exclusively for prepaid platform API usage credits.

3. Architecture, Model Routing, and Zero Data Retention

When a customer initiates an API call to YossGate:

1. The request is authenticated, validated against rate limits, and checked for available account Credits.
2. The payload is streamed and routed directly to the official upstream API endpoint of the selected model provider or authorized cloud distributor.
3. The upstream response is streamed back to the client in real-time.

Zero Retention Policy

YossGate adheres to strict enterprise data protection principles:

• No Model Training: We do not use customer prompts, inputs, system instructions, or generated outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning models.
• Ephemeral Processing: Payloads are processed in memory and streamed. We do not store conversational content or message bodies in persistent storage, retaining only transient metadata (such as timestamps, token usage counts, response status codes, and latency) necessary for billing, usage transparency, and security audit logs.

Supported upstream model providers include, among others: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, Mistral, and other major AI infrastructure providers. Model availability may be updated from time to time.

4. Prohibited Services and Clear Boundaries

To prevent any misunderstanding, YossGate strictly and explicitly does NOT provide, endorse, or permit any of the following:

• No Account Reselling / Sharing: We do not rent, share, or resell third-party consumer accounts (e.g., ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro).
• No Third-Party Subscription Top-ups: We do not act as an agent or intermediary to recharge, purchase, or top up consumer accounts on external third-party platforms.
• No Geo-bypass / Circumvention Services: We do not provide proxy services or tools intended to bypass geographical restrictions, sanctions, account bans, or rate limits enforced by upstream providers.
• No Unauthorised Scraping or Reverse-Engineering: We do not utilize web scrapers or unauthorized automated scripts against consumer interfaces; all connections are routed via standard commercial API protocols.

Customers are required to comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable upstream model provider guidelines.

5. Trademarks and Fair Use Disclaimer

Product, model, and company names referenced on our platform—such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Meta Llama, and Mistral—are used strictly for identification and compatibility purposes.

All trademarks, trade names, and logos are the property of their respective owners. Their mention does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or direct commercial partnership between YossGate and the respective trademark holders, unless expressly stated otherwise.
