Terms used in these Terms are defined as follows.

  1. “Service” means a rental service in which the Company allocates an accelerator card (FPGA, GPU, etc.) and a Linux virtual machine (an “Instance”) on hardware owned and operated by the Company, billed by usage time.
  2. “Credit” means a prepaid balance purchased to pay for the Service.
  3. “EDA tools” means design automation software such as Vivado or Quartus that the Company does not provide and that customers install and run under their own licenses.

Article 2 (Effect and Changes)

These Terms take effect when published on the Service pages (https://ed1th.dev).

The Company may amend these Terms within the scope permitted by law, notifying customers on the Service pages and by registered email at least 30 days before the effective date. Customers who do not agree may stop using the Service and terminate.

Article 3 (Service Content)

  • The Company does not continuously collect or inspect data inside Instances, command history, or work products. Access is limited to the minimum necessary for legal obligations or incident response.
  1. Upon request, the Company allocates an Instance of the specified spec (including the accelerator card) and provides remote access such as SSH.
  2. Instances are provided as blank Linux environments; customers install and operate the software they need.

  1. Service fees are paid by prepaid Credit, purchasable by credit or debit card (VISA, MASTER, etc.) only.
