SilicaDrive Acceptable Use Policy

Last Updated: June 7, 2026

About SilicaDrive Services

SilicaDrive provides high-performance compute resources. To maintain platform integrity and ensure equitable access, all users must adhere to this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This policy applies to all services, including bare-metal GPU instances, developer workspaces, and inference APIs.

  • Users are responsible for all activity under their account.
  • Provisioned resources must be used for their intended compute purpose.
  • SilicaDrive reserves the right to suspend accounts that degrade platform performance for others.

Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on SilicaDrive infrastructure:

  • Engagement in illegal acts or the distribution of unlawful content.
  • Creation, training, or deployment of models designed for Harassment, Deception, or Non-consensual content generation.
  • Unauthorized cryptographic mining or distributed ledger operations unless explicitly permitted by specific enterprise agreements.
  • Any attempt to circumvent platform resource limits or billing mechanisms.
  • Scanning, testing, or probing the SilicaDrive network without prior written authorization.

Security & Privacy

Maintaining a secure cloud environment is a shared responsibility. While SilicaDrive secures the underlying infrastructure, users are mandated to:

  • Secure their own access credentials and API keys.
  • Implement appropriate encryption for data stored on provisioned volumes.
  • Immediately report any suspected breaches or unauthorized access to our security team.
  • Ensure that all software and libraries installed on instances are regularly patched.

Credits & Payments

  • Accounts must maintain valid payment methods for ongoing on-demand compute.
  • Credits applied to accounts are subject to expiration as per promotional terms.
  • Circumvention of billing metrics or API rate-limiting is considered a tier-1 policy violation.

Enforcement & Changes

SilicaDrive reserves the right to investigate violations of this policy through automated monitoring of resource utilization and network patterns.

  • Failure to comply may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of services.
  • Serious violations involving illegal acts will be reported to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
  • SilicaDrive may update this AUP periodically; continued use of services constitutes acceptance of the modified policy.
