Peer-to-Peer Network Processing Addendum — 1.0 (archived)

Version 1.0 · Dated: 12 October 2026

This addendum supplements the Terms of Service of Decision Models, provided by productivity-boost.com Betriebs UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG ("we", "us"). It applies only to API keys for which the customer enables Peer-to-peer network processing in the dashboard. This switch is off by default and requires the key's existing Allow worldwide processing setting to be on. Selecting the Peer-to-Peer tier (global) or allowing worldwide processing alone does not enable network processing.

1. Scope and providers

Network processing is available for keys that opt in. Eligible requests are single-question text requests in the Peer-to-Peer tier to the configured network-serving models: s1-fast-1 at launch. They may be answered by a peer-to-peer network of independent compute providers. All other requests, and all requests using keys with network processing off, are processed exactly as before, without the peer-to-peer network. EU-tier requests are processed only in the EU, never by the peer-to-peer network, with no payload retention.

The independent providers are known as "miners" in the REAX network. They follow the network's protocol rules and their answers are verified as described below. They are anonymous third parties located worldwide and outside our control. They are not bound to us by contract, in particular not to confidentiality or to deleting content.

2. Verification, fallback and price

Every network answer is checked against our own reference GPU running the same model before it is returned. If a provider is unavailable, slow or its answer deviates, our own GPU answers instead. The normal Peer-to-Peer-tier price applies. Verification checks the answer; it does not establish confidentiality or prevent a provider from storing content.

3. Content exposure and retention

Providers receive the request content — state, question and options — in clear text to compute the answer. We cannot technically prevent a provider from storing what it sees. No confidentiality or deletion guarantee applies to content received by providers. We send no account, API key, IP or original request identifiers to them. Identifiers the customer includes in the content itself remain visible to them.

We do not store request or response payloads. Our no-retention commitments apply to our own infrastructure and do not extend to independent network providers. The Privacy Policy identifies these worldwide recipients.

4. Customer obligations

Do not send personal data, secrets or confidential content on keys with network processing enabled. Use the EU tier for such content. Enabling either processing switch does not supply a legal basis for transferring personal data. The customer is responsible for ensuring that content sent on network-enabled keys meets these restrictions.

Relationship to the DPA: By enabling the switch, the customer instructs us to make eligible request content of that key available to the network providers. Because no personal data may be sent on network-enabled keys, network providers are not sub-processors under section 6 of the DPA and are not listed in its Annex 3; the DPA's sub-processor, notice and third-country provisions (sections 6 and 7) are not applied to them, and no Art. 28(4) GDPR contract, Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguard under Chapter V GDPR exists or can be put in place with them. Statements in our Terms, DPA, Privacy Policy and data-retention or security pages that content is not stored 'on any node' or 'on every node' refer to infrastructure we operate or rent, not to network providers.

5. Enabling and switching off

The dashboard displays a summary of this addendum before the customer confirms enabling network processing for an individual key. The customer may switch it off at any time, effective for new requests. Switching it off does not cancel requests already admitted or undo content already disclosed to a provider.

This addendum does not change the EU tier or keys whose network-processing switch is off, including keys that allow worldwide processing without network processing. The existing worldwide-processing setting and its conditions remain separate.

6. Relationship to the Terms

For enabled keys only, this addendum describes the additional processing recipients and the limits of retention and confidentiality commitments for those recipients. All other provisions of the Terms, including liability and warranty, remain unchanged. This addendum creates no new warranty or guarantee and does not exclude or limit liability beyond the Terms.
