Provider Agreement

This Provider Agreement applies to anyone who applies to supply AI API capacity to Onlist as an upstream provider. It supplements the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

As an upstream provider, you supply infrastructure and capacity to Onlist; Onlist meters that usage and is the party that delivers the service to, bills, and supports the buyer. You are an upstream supplier to Onlist, not a direct seller to the buyer. This Agreement sets out your obligations to Onlist; it does not make you the buyer-facing service provider.

If you cannot meet these obligations, do not submit a provider application.

1. Provider identity

You must provide accurate business or operator identity, contact, endpoint, model, pricing, and capacity information. You may not impersonate another provider, operate under multiple personas to manipulate ranking, or imply that Onlist endorses your service beyond your participation as an upstream supplier.

2. Upstream declaration

You must accurately disclose how your endpoint reaches the model:

• Direct — you connect to the model provider's official API (for example, Anthropic Messages API, OpenAI Chat Completions) using credentials you are legally entitled to use.
• Intermediated — you reach the model through additional third-party infrastructure that sits in front of the model provider. You must disclose this, and you remain responsible for what that third party does with the data.

Misrepresenting how you reach the model (for example, claiming a direct official connection while in fact routing through a third party) is a take-down offense.

3. Data policy: separate "you" from "the upstream"

Data-policy declarations on Onlist are layered. Be specific about what you control:

• What you commit to as the listed provider. Whether your own infrastructure stores request or response bodies, for how long, and for what purpose (debugging, abuse investigation, none).
• What the upstream does. You may state your understanding (for example, that the model provider's commercial API contractually does not train on API traffic by default) but you may not present an upstream's policy as your own guarantee. If the upstream changes its policy, the accuracy of your declaration depends on you updating it.

You may not use prompts or outputs routed through your endpoint to train your own models, fine-tune adapters, or build derivative datasets, unless you obtain explicit informed consent from the requesting account holder out-of-band and disclose this practice in your declaration.

False or misleading data-policy claims may result in Onlist removing your endpoint from routing, withholding settlement, and terminating your account.

4. Reliability and abuse

You are responsible for endpoint availability, serving the traffic Onlist routes to you, protecting credentials, and preventing abuse on your side. Onlist may rate-limit, cool down, or temporarily stop routing traffic to your endpoint to protect buyers and platform integrity.

You must not silently substitute, downgrade, mislabel, or spoof models. If your own upstream changes capacity or behavior, update or pause your endpoint.

5. Pricing and settlement

You propose prices for your capacity subject to platform rules. Onlist meters successful usage and settles with you off-platform, deducting applicable platform fees, based on that usage. Settlement may be delayed, reversed, withheld, or denied for fraud, disputes, chargebacks, sanctions exposure, or incomplete provider information. This settlement is a business arrangement between you and Onlist; the buyer's billing relationship is with Onlist.

6. Reviews and disputes

Verified buyers may review settled calls. You may dispute reviews or audit findings through Onlist tools, but you may not manipulate reviews, buy fake traffic, retaliate against reviewers, or otherwise interfere with platform signals.

7. Termination

You may pause or withdraw your endpoint at any time. Onlist may suspend or terminate your provider access for fraud, legal risk, safety issues, repeated outages, false declarations, or violations of this Agreement or the Terms of Service.
