1. Scope

This Policy applies to all access and use of the Service to generate, process, transmit, route, or store text, images, audio, video, code, and any other data or content. It applies to every account holder, developer, organisation, and any end users to whom you make the Service available through your own applications, software, or integrations.

2. Prohibited Content and Uses

You must not use the Service, and must not permit, authorise, or facilitate any third party or end user to use the Service, to create, upload, process, transmit, distribute, or facilitate any of the following:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) or Exploitation: Any material involving child sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of minors, or non-consensual sexual content.
• Violence, Harm, and Terrorism: Content that promotes, incites, glorifies, or provides actionable instructions for violence, terrorism, self-harm, suicide, or hate speech targeting protected characteristics.
• Illegal Acts and Cyberattacks: Facilitating illegal activities, developing malicious code, malware, ransomware, exploits, or conducting fraud, phishing, scamming, unauthorized penetration testing, or financial crimes.
• Intellectual Property and Misrepresentation: Content that infringes copyrights, patents, trademarks, or trade secrets, or that impersonates any brand, entity, or individual.

• Violations of Upstream Terms: Any activity that violates the published terms of service or acceptable use policies of the underlying AI model providers (including but not limited to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta).

3. Content Controls and Moderation

To safeguard the platform and downstream users, YossGate reserves the right to apply reasonable technical and operational controls to API requests and responses, including automated filtering, anomaly detection, rate limiting, and temporary logging for security triage.

YossGate does not proactively monitor all real-time API payloads, but we reserve the right to audit suspicious activity where necessary to preserve service stability, protect users, and comply with binding legal obligations.

4. Enforcement and Penalties

If we determine or reasonably suspect that you or your end users have violated this Policy, we may take one or more of the following actions depending on the severity of the violation:

1. Issue a formal warning or notice to cure;
2. Temporarily restrict, throttle, or disable access to specific models, tokens, or endpoints;
3. Suspend or freeze account balance, API keys, or credits;
4. Terminate the account permanently without refund for breach of terms;
5. Report unlawful conduct to competent law enforcement agencies where required by applicable law.

5. Reporting Violations and Appeals

If you discover suspected violations of this Policy, or if you believe an enforcement action was made in error and wish to appeal, please contact our review team:

• Abuse and Compliance Email: support@yossgate.com
  (Please include “Abuse Report” or “AUP Appeal” along with relevant request IDs or details in the subject line).

All reports will be assessed in accordance with our internal review procedures.

6. Developer and Customer Responsibility

You remain solely and strictly responsible for all activity conducted under your account credentials and API keys. If you integrate the Service into your own products or customer-facing applications, you must implement appropriate application-level safety filters, rate limiting, and enforce end-user terms that are at least as restrictive as this Policy.

7. Modifications

We may modify this Policy periodically to reflect evolving legal standards, security threats, or upstream provider guidelines. Continued use of the Service following the publication of revised terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

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.

• Primary Support and Compliance Contact: support@yossgate.com

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.

5. Model Terms and Upstream Compliance

5.1 Flow-Down Obligations

The Service routes requests to external foundation models operated by independent third-party providers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, and others). By using any Model via the Service, you agree to strictly comply with the specific terms of service and acceptable use policies published by each respective upstream model provider.

5.2 Model Availability and Disclaimers
