Fair Use Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

This Fair Use Policy outlines the acceptable use of TOSE.sh platform resources. We want to ensure all users have a great experience, so we ask that you use our services responsibly and in accordance with these guidelines.

1. Purpose of This Policy

  • TOSE.sh provides cloud deployment services designed to help developers build, deploy, and scale their applications efficiently.
  • This Fair Use Policy ensures that all users can enjoy reliable service by preventing abuse that could negatively impact the platform or other users.
  • We believe in transparency and want you to understand what constitutes fair use of our resources.

2. General Guidelines

To maintain a healthy platform for everyone, please adhere to the following guidelines:

Resource Usage

  • Use resources proportional to your actual application needs
  • Avoid artificially inflating resource consumption
  • Size your projects appropriately as your application grows
  • Do not use multiple accounts to circumvent resource limits

Application Behavior

  • Deploy applications that serve a legitimate purpose
  • Ensure your applications do not consume excessive resources during idle periods
  • Implement proper error handling to prevent resource waste from crashed applications
  • Use caching and optimization techniques where appropriate

3. Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on our platform:

Resource Abuse

  • Cryptocurrency mining, including proof-of-work mining operations
  • Running distributed computing projects unrelated to your application
  • Excessive background processing that degrades platform performance
  • Using our platform as a proxy or VPN service
  • Running applications solely to consume allocated resources

Network Abuse

  • Conducting denial-of-service (DoS) attacks or participating in botnets
  • Port scanning or network probing of other systems
  • Sending unsolicited bulk emails (spam)
  • Hosting phishing websites or malware distribution
  • Traffic amplification attacks

Content Violations

  • Hosting illegal content or facilitating illegal activities
  • Distributing copyrighted material without authorization
  • Hosting adult content without appropriate age verification
  • Content that promotes violence, hatred, or discrimination
  • Applications that violate third-party intellectual property rights

4. Resource Limits

TOSE has no subscription plans. You choose the vCPU, RAM and disk for each project and pay for them by the hour from your workspace wallet. Fair use means staying within these boundaries:

Wallet and Billing

  • New accounts receive no free credit; all usage is paid from the wallet balance
  • Deploying requires a positive wallet balance
  • When the balance runs out, running workloads are suspended and disks are kept
  • Paid templates require a one-time unlock per workspace

Project Sizes

  • Each project has a maximum vCPU and RAM size, shown when you configure it
  • Persistent disks are billed on provisioned size while they exist

5. Build and Deployment Limits

To ensure fair access to build resources:

Build Quotas

  • Builds run on shared build infrastructure
  • Unused build minutes do not roll over to the next month
  • Concurrent builds may be limited
  • Build caching is provided to reduce redundant builds

Deployment Guidelines

  • Deploy updates as needed, but avoid excessive redeployments
  • Use preview deployments for testing before production
  • Clean up unused deployments to free resources
  • Rollbacks do not count against build quotas

6. Bandwidth and Traffic

Fair use of network resources includes:

Bandwidth Allocation

  • Bandwidth is not billed as a separate line item
  • Bandwidth overages may result in additional charges or throttling
  • CDN caching is provided to optimize bandwidth usage
  • Large file transfers should use appropriate storage solutions

Traffic Patterns

  • Normal web application traffic patterns are expected
  • Sudden traffic spikes should be legitimate (viral content, launches)
  • Sustained high-volume automated requests may be rate-limited
  • API rate limits apply to protect platform stability

7. Database Usage

For users of our managed database add-ons:

Database Guidelines

  • Use database resources appropriate to your application needs
  • Implement connection pooling to avoid exhausting connections
  • Regularly clean up unused data and optimize queries
  • Backup your data; we provide automated backups but you are responsible for your data

Storage Limits

  • Database storage is limited by the disk size you provision
  • Exceeding storage limits may require a larger disk
  • Large datasets should consider dedicated database solutions

8. Monitoring and Enforcement

We monitor platform usage to ensure compliance:

How We Monitor

  • Automated systems detect unusual resource consumption patterns
  • We review accounts flagged for potential policy violations
  • All monitoring respects user privacy and data protection

Enforcement Actions

  • Warning notifications for minor or first-time violations
  • Resource throttling for sustained overuse
  • Account suspension for serious or repeated violations
  • Permanent termination for egregious abuse

Appeals Process

  • You may appeal any enforcement action within 14 days
  • Contact our support team with details of your situation
  • We review appeals fairly and respond within 5 business days

9. Reporting Abuse

  • If you encounter abuse or violations of this policy, please report it to abuse@tose.sh.
  • Include relevant details such as project URLs, timestamps, and description of the issue.
  • We investigate all reports and take appropriate action.

10. Policy Updates

  • We may update this Fair Use Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or address new issues.
  • Material changes will be communicated via email or through the platform dashboard.
  • Continued use of the service after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
