Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 21, 2026, Boost Run Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Boost Run Service Agreement (the “MSA”) with Thinking Machines Lab Inc. (the “Customer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide high-performance managed GPU compute and cloud infrastructure services to the Customer. Concurrently with the MSA, the Company and the Customer executed two Order Forms (collectively, the “Orders,” and together with the MSA, the “Agreements”) for the rental of NVIDIA B300 GPU servers.

 

The MSA serves as the governing agreement required to access the Boost Run platform, where bare metal server provisioning takes place. The MSA establishes the overarching terms and conditions for the customer relationship. Individual server rentals on the Boost Run platform are documented through Orders that are executed by both parties. Orders may have varying term durations, ranging from hours to multiple years, depending on the customer’s selected commitment period. A single customer may hold multiple active Orders under a single MSA, each with its own duration. Once an Order is placed on the Boost Run platform, it is non-cancelable for the specified term duration, and any fees associated with that Order are non-refundable.

 

Pursuant to the Orders, the Company will provide GPU server rental services for an initial term of 36 months, with a combined total contract value of approximately $471.7 million. The Orders provide for the deployment of a total of 5,000 NVIDIA B300 GPUs across the Company’s data center facilities, along with related shared network storage and CPU node services.

 

The MSA commences on May 21, 2026, and continues through the end date specified in the applicable Order. The Customer is obligated to pay all fees for the full duration of the initial term or any extended term, regardless of actual usage, except as expressly set forth in the MSA or the applicable Order. The Customer may terminate the MSA, or an applicable Order, for cause if the Company materially breaches its obligations and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice. Upon any termination, all outstanding fees become immediately due and payable. The MSA also contains customary provisions relating to, among other things, service levels, intellectual property, data protection, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and suspension and termination rights.

 

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates have any material relationship with the Customer, other than in respect of the Agreements.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MSA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Each Order must identify, as applicable, the ordered Services, Fees, term, delivery schedule, location, quantities, support level, and applicable technical specifications.

f. Support Services

 

Boost Run shall provide support in accordance with Exhibit F, including the support channels, severity levels, response times, escalation paths, and other support commitments set forth therein.

 

g. Connection

 

High-speed Internet connection is essential for proper transmission, connectivity and stability of the Services provided by Boost Run. The Customer is responsible for procuring and maintaining network connections that link its network to the Services, including compatible “browser” software and protocols accepted and requested by Boost Run. Boost Run does not assume any responsibility for notifying the Customer or its Users of software upgrades, updates, fixes, or enhancements, nor for any data compromise during transmission across networks not owned or controlled by Boost Run. Boost Run disclaims any liability whatsoever related to the reliability or performance of connections not owned or controlled by Boost Run that are used by the Customer or its Users to access the Services and Customer hereby waives any claim to the contrary.

 

h. Communications

 

Boost Run may act upon and rely on instructions provided by Users solely for operational support and administration of the Services under an executed Order. No User instruction will amend this Agreement or any Order, waive any right, or create any Fee or other payment obligation unless set forth in a written Order or amendment executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

 

i. Monitoring and Modifications

 

Boost Run may monitor the operation and performance of the Services to provide, secure, support, and maintain the Services, but shall not access, monitor, inspect, use, or disclose Customer Property except (i) as requested by Customer to provide support, (ii) as necessary to maintain the security or availability of the Infrastructure Platform without accessing Customer content where reasonably practicable, or (iii) as required by applicable law, court order, subpoena, or legally binding governmental or regulatory demand. To the extent legally permitted, Boost Run shall provide Customer with prior notice of any required access to or disclosure of Customer Property and reasonably cooperate with Customer’s efforts to seek confidential treatment, protective relief, or otherwise limit such access or disclosure; if prior notice is legally prohibited, Boost Run shall provide notice as soon as legally permitted. Boost Run may modify the Services and Documentation with prior notice to Customer only if such modification does not materially reduce, degrade, or adversely affect the functionality, performance, security, or Customer’s use of the Services. Any change to the specifications in an Order requires Customer’s prior written consent.

 

j. Suspensions

 

Except as expressly permitted under Section 2.m with respect to an active or imminent Customer-caused security threat, Boost Run may suspend Customer’s access to the Services only (a) solely as and for so long as necessary to comply with applicable law, a court order, subpoena, or a legally binding governmental or regulatory demand, or (b) to the extent caused by a Force Majeure Event in accordance with Section 11.j. Boost Run shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide Customer with notice before any suspension and, if prior notice is legally prohibited or impracticable, as soon as legally permitted or practicable thereafter. Any suspension must be narrowly tailored, limited to the affected Services, and for the shortest duration necessary to resolve the cause of suspension. Customer shall not be obligated to pay Fees for Services not provided or not available during any suspension, except to the extent the suspension is caused by Customer’s material breach of this Agreement, violation of applicable law, or violation of the Acceptable Use Policy.

 

k. Maintenance and Hardware Replacement

 

Scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, hardware repair, and hardware replacement are governed exclusively by Exhibit F. Boost Run shall not perform maintenance that interrupts, degrades, or otherwise adversely affects Customer’s active workloads except as permitted under Exhibit F. Customer is responsible for backing up Customer Property within the Customer Environment, but the foregoing does not limit Boost Run’s service level, security, confidentiality, sanitization, or other obligations under this Agreement.

l. Supplemental Services

 

In addition to the base Infrastructure Platform services, Boost Run may offer Supplemental Services on an à la carte basis. Customer may order Supplemental Services only pursuant to an executed Order or written amendment. Each Supplemental Service ordered by Customer shall be documented in a separate Order or as a line item within an existing Order and shall be invoiced separately. All Supplemental Services are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless otherwise specified in a supplemental agreement or addendum executed by both Parties. Boost Run may not modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any Supplemental Service ordered by Customer in a manner that materially reduces, degrades, or adversely affects such Supplemental Service or Customer’s use of the Services. Boost Run may not reduce, discontinue, or limit any Supplemental Service that is material to Customer’s use of the Services without Customer’s prior written consent.

 

m. Customer Security Obligations

 

Customer is responsible for the security configuration and hardening of servers, instances, operating systems, applications, credentials, access controls, firewall rules, and other resources within the environment deployed or managed by or on behalf of Customer on the Services (the “Customer Environment”), including the installation, operation, patching, monitoring, and maintenance of Customer-Provided Products and Customer workloads.

 

Boost Run is responsible for the security of the Infrastructure Platform, Boost Run-controlled networks, management systems, physical facilities, data center controls, personnel, contractors, subcontractors, and other systems and resources used by Boost Run to provide the Services. Boost Run shall comply with the security requirements set forth in Exhibit D. Any Customer-proposed security addendum shall be subject to Boost Run’s prior written agreement and shall be effective only when executed by authorized representatives of both Parties; Boost Run’s agreement to any such addendum shall not be unreasonably withheld but may be conditioned on commercially reasonable scoping, fee adjustments, and implementation timelines. A material failure by Boost Run to comply with Exhibit D shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, subject to Boost Run’s right to cure under Section 10.c.

 

If Boost Run reasonably determines that the Customer Environment poses an actual and imminent threat to the Boost Run systems, the Infrastructure Platform, or other Boost Run customers, Boost Run shall promptly notify Customer in writing, identify the affected resources, and specify the remediation reasonably necessary to address the threat. Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remediate the identified threat as promptly as practicable. If immediate action is necessary to prevent material harm, Boost Run may take narrowly tailored actions limited to the affected resources and for the shortest duration reasonably necessary to mitigate the active or imminent threat, including temporary isolation of affected nodes; provided that Boost Run shall not modify Customer configurations through BMC or other out-of-band access except at Customer’s request, with Customer’s prior consent, or to the extent strictly necessary to prevent an active or imminent threat and only after giving Customer such notice as is practicable under the circumstances. Any termination for an uncured Customer security breach shall be governed by Section 10.c.

 

3. Fees and Payment Terms

 

a. Fees

 

Customer is responsible for paying all Fees specified in the Order or incurred under this Agreement to Boost Run. The Fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars to the account designated with banking or payment provider instructions by Boost Run. Fees paid are non-refundable, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement or an applicable Order. If the Fees are based on Customer’s use of the Services, Customer will be charged for any additional Fees incurred due to excess use of the Services by Customer or any User.

b. Invoices and Payment

 

Boost Run will invoice Customer on a monthly basis for all set Fees during the applicable billing period, unless otherwise set forth in an Order. Boost Run will include any variable fees incurred during a month in the next invoice. Payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If any undisputed amounts invoiced by Boost Run are not received by the due date stated on the invoice, the overdue amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the due date until paid in full.

 

Boost Run may suspend access to the affected Services for non-payment only if an undisputed invoice remains unpaid for more than fifteen (15) days past the due date and Customer fails to pay such undisputed overdue amount within seven (7) days after receiving proper written notice from Boost Run identifying the past-due amount and stating Boost Run’s intent to suspend. Such suspension shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay undisputed Fees accrued through and including the date of suspension, and payment obligations shall recommence immediately upon restoration of access.

 

Customer will be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred by Boost Run in connection with collecting overdue, undisputed Fees and interest to the extent permitted by applicable law. Customer may withhold any amount disputed in good faith if Customer submits a written dispute notice to Boost Run within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, identifying the specific disputed amounts and the basis for the dispute. Customer’s failure to provide a dispute notice within such thirty (30) day period will not waive Customer’s right to dispute the invoice, but Customer shall pay the invoice when due and may seek a credit or refund following resolution of the dispute. Customer shall timely pay all undisputed amounts, and the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any disputed amounts.

 

c. Taxes

 

Fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, value-added, goods and services, excise, and similar transaction taxes imposed on the provision of the Services, excluding taxes based on Boost Run’s net income, property, or employees. Customer shall be responsible for such taxes to the extent legally imposed on Customer or required to be collected by Boost Run, provided that Boost Run separately states such taxes on the applicable invoice. If Customer is required by applicable law to withhold taxes from any payment to Boost Run, Customer may deduct and remit such withholding to the applicable taxing authority and shall provide Boost Run with reasonable documentation of such remittance. Customer shall have no obligation to gross up any payment for withholding taxes.

 

d. Payment Credits

 

Amounts prepaid by Customer for the Services will be credited towards the Fees payable under this Agreement. The prepayment amount, if any, is set forth in the applicable Order.

 

4. Proprietary Rights

 

a. Customer Property

 

Customer retains all rights, title, and interest in the Customer Property, including its intellectual property rights, except as explicitly stated in this Agreement. No right, title, or license to any Customer Property is granted to Boost Run, either expressly or impliedly.

c. Licenses to Customer Property

 

Customer retains all ownership of Customer Property. To enable Boost Run to perform the Services, Customer grants Boost Run a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use the Customer Property during the Term solely for the purposes of (i) providing the Services as requested by Customer, and (ii) complying with applicable law. Boost Run may permit its authorized subcontractors to exercise these rights solely to the extent necessary to support the Services. For clarity, Boost Run shall not use Customer Property to create Usage Information, except for operational telemetry that does not include Customer Property, Customer content, model inputs or outputs, model weights, Customer configurations, or Customer Confidential Information.

 

d. Customer-Provided Products

 

Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary rights, licenses and credentials to use the Customer-Provided Products and services. Customer is also responsible for the installation, operation, updating and maintenance of the Customer-Provided Products and services. Boost Run does not provide any warranties, guarantees or indemnification regarding the Customer-Provided Products or their operation in connection with the Services. Boost Run is not responsible or liable for any data exchange or interaction between Customer and any provider of the Customer-Provided Products.

 

e. Open-Source Software

 

The Services may include or utilize open-source software, which is subject to the relevant open-source license terms. By using the Services, Customer agrees to comply with and be bound by the applicable terms and conditions governing the use of open-source software programs. Customer acknowledges that the term “Services” in this Agreement does not include open-source software.

 

5. Data Obligations and Security

 

a. Backups and Storage

 

Boost Run is not obligated to back up Customer Property on behalf of Customer or any User. It is the sole responsibility of Customer to configure and use the Services properly and take appropriate steps to ensure the security, protection, and backup of Customer Property within the Customer Environment, including by using encryption technology and routine archiving where appropriate. Customer is responsible and liable for the activities of any person who gains access to Customer Property or the Services due to Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations. Customer acknowledges that upon activation of Services, Customer assumes responsibility for data residing on the provisioned servers and shall implement backup procedures prior to commencing production workloads. Boost Run shall sanitize any server or storage device previously allocated to another customer before provisioning it to Customer in accordance with NIST SP 800-88 or a substantially equivalent industry-standard media sanitization process. Customer may verify server state upon provisioning.

 

b. Processing of Customer Property

 

If Customer Property includes Personal Data, Boost Run is considered a “service provider” or “processor,” and Customer is the “controller” or “business”, as such terms are defined by applicable Privacy Law. Each Party agrees that it shall comply with its respective obligations under applicable Privacy Laws. Boost Run agrees to notify Customer in the event that it cannot meet its obligations as a “service provider.” Boost Run will only process Personal Data within the Customer Property: (i) for the sole and specific purpose of providing the Services or as instructed by Customer in writing; (ii) as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or (iii) as required by law or regulatory authorities. Boost Run is prohibited from “selling” (as defined by the CCPA) or sharing Personal Data for behavioral advertising purposes, using or disclosing the Personal Data outside the direct business relationship with Customer, or combining Personal Data received from Customer with other sources, except for specific business purposes or as permitted by Privacy Laws. Boost Run shall reasonably cooperate with Customer in Customer’s efforts to monitor Boost Run’s compliance with this Section 5.

c. Customer Data Responsibilities

 

Customer must comply with Privacy Laws and warrants that all Personal Data collected and processed by or on behalf of Customer complies with Privacy Laws, including obligations to provide notice, obtain consent and effectuate consumer rights requests. Customer warrants that it has the rights to transfer all Personal Data to Boost Run for processing as described in this Agreement including, as applicable, the rights to transfer Personal Data out of its jurisdiction of origination. Customer is solely responsible and liable for the processing of all Customer Property, data processed by Users, and any data displayed, disclosed, generated, or published in connection with the Services, including responding to and effectuating all consumer rights requests under applicable Privacy Laws. Customer shall not provide any processing instructions to Boost Run that violate any applicable Privacy Laws.

 

d. Security

 

Boost Run agrees that it will (a) implement and maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards consistent with Exhibit D, applicable Privacy Laws, and industry standards applicable to providers of bare metal infrastructure services, (b) take reasonable steps to ensure that each person responsible for processing Personal Data is subject to a duty of confidentiality, and (c) process Personal Data only in accordance with this Agreement and Customer’s documented instructions. Boost Run shall notify Customer without undue delay and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after becoming aware of any Data Incident affecting Customer Property or the Services. Such notice shall include, to the extent then known, the nature of the Data Incident, the affected systems and data, the date and time of discovery, the likely consequences, measures taken or proposed to mitigate and remediate the Data Incident, and a point of contact for follow-up. Boost Run shall promptly investigate, mitigate, and remediate each Data Incident, preserve relevant evidence, provide timely updates, and reasonably assist Customer with legally required notifications, regulatory communications, forensic investigation, remediation, and other incident-response activities. Boost Run shall provide such assistance at its own expense to the extent the Data Incident was caused by Boost Run’s material breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, or willful misconduct; otherwise, Customer shall reimburse Boost Run for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs of providing such assistance.

 

Upon Customer’s reasonable request no more than once per twelve (12) month period, and additionally following a confirmed Data Incident actually caused by Boost Run’s material breach of this Agreement, Boost Run shall provide, subject to reasonable confidentiality protections, then-current security information reasonably necessary to verify Boost Run’s compliance with this Agreement, including available SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 reports or certificates, penetration test executive summaries, vulnerability management summaries, responses to reasonable security questionnaires, and information regarding data center physical security, encryption, access controls, incident response, business continuity, and data location. Boost Run shall not materially degrade the safeguards set forth in Exhibit D during the Term.

 

e. Agents and Subcontractors

 

Customer authorizes Boost Run to engage another processor to perform specific processing activities involving Personal Data on behalf of Customer only to the extent such sub-processor is identified in Exhibit C or otherwise approved by Customer in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and which shall be deemed given if Customer does not object in writing within five (5) business days after Boost Run’s notice of a proposed sub-processor). Boost Run shall enter into a binding written contract with each sub-processor which imposes data protection obligations substantially similar to, and no less protective than, those contained in this Section 5, and Boost Run shall remain responsible for each sub-processor’s acts and omissions as if they were Boost Run’s own acts and omissions.

 

f. Usage Information

 

Customer acknowledges that Boost Run may collect operational telemetry and performance and usage metrics relating to the Services (“Usage Information”) solely to provide, secure, support, maintain, improve, and plan capacity for the Services. Usage Information shall not include Customer Property, Customer content, model inputs or outputs, model weights, Customer configurations, or other Customer Confidential Information.

Boost Run may use and disclose Usage Information only in aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified form across multiple customers so that Customer, Users, Customer Property, Customer workloads, Customer pricing, and Customer Confidential Information cannot reasonably be identified, re-identified, or derived. Boost Run shall not disclose Customer-level or Customer-identifying usage metrics without Customer’s prior written consent, except to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority, in which case Boost Run shall provide notice to Customer as soon as legally permitted.

 

g. Cross-Border Data Transfers

 

For Personal Data originating from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the Parties agree that Boost Run’s processing of such Personal Data will be pursuant to the Model Clauses. “Model Clauses” shall mean (i) Module Two of the standard contractual clauses annexed to the European Commission’s Implementing Decision 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council (“EU SCCs”); and (ii) where the UK GDPR applies, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“UK Addendum”) issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office under s.119A(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK SCCs”). For purposes of the Model Clauses, the following terms will apply: (i) Customer and Boost Run will be deemed to have executed the Model Clauses as of the Effective Date; (ii) Customer will be referred to as the “Data Exporter” and Boost Run will be referred to as the “Data Importer” in the clauses with relevant company name and address and details from the Agreement being inserted accordingly; (iii) Exhibit C will provide supplementary information required, as appropriate; (iv) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will apply; (v) in Clause 9, Option 2 will apply and the time period for prior notice of sub-processor changes shall be ten (10) business days; (vi) in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply; and (vi) in Clauses 17 and 18(b), the EU SCCs, and any disputes therein, will be governed by the law and courts of Ireland, and the UK Addendum shall be governed by the law and courts of the United Kingdom. In the event that the then-current Model Clauses are invalidated as a valid data transfer agreement or other mechanism under any applicable privacy law, Boost Run shall promptly work in good faith with Customer to put in place a replacement data transfer agreement or other mechanism appropriate to comply with any applicable law (e.g., Boost Run executes successor Model Clauses) as determined by Customer in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Model Clauses, the Model Clauses shall control. Any conflict between the terms of the EU SCCs and the UK Addendum shall be resolved in accordance with Section 10 and Section 11 of the UK Addendum.

 

6. Confidentiality

 

a. Confidentiality

b. Compelled Disclosure

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.b, if the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party due to law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental or regulatory authority, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (if legally permitted).

d. Governing Law: This Agreement and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Actions for equitable relief and enforcement of an arbitration award, shall be brought exclusively in the state courts of New Castle County, Delaware, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Both Parties waive any claim or defense based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar doctrine or theory. Furthermore, both Parties waive their right to a trial by jury and agree that any proceeding to resolve a dispute will be conducted on an individual basis, without seeking to have any dispute heard as a class action or class arbitration.

 

f. Injunctive Relief: The Parties acknowledge that any action for equitable relief or any other action not subject to arbitration under applicable law, including the enforcement of an arbitration ruling, will be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction located in New Castle County, Delaware, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware The Parties submit to the jurisdiction of such courts solely for this purpose.

 

g. Assignment: Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole and not in part, without the other Party’s consent: (i) to a U.S. Affiliate; or (ii) to an acquirer, or a U.S. Affiliate of an acquirer, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, change of control, or sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or equity. The assigning Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of any permitted assignment within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such assignment.

However, Boost Run may send business and product-related communications (e.g., product updates, privacy policy updates, critical security updates, and information on critical bug fixes and service critical updates) in other languages as necessary.

 

i. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The Parties will replace the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that reflects the original intent of the Parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

j. Force Majeure: Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event. “Force Majeure Event” means an unforeseeable event or circumstance beyond the affected Party’s reasonable control, not caused by the affected Party’s negligence or failure to comply with this Agreement, and not reasonably capable of being avoided or mitigated through commercially reasonable precautions, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, public riots, fire, flood, hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, explosion, epidemic or pandemic, labor strikes or lockouts not involving the affected Party’s workforce, widespread utility outages not caused by the affected Party and not reasonably mitigable through facility backup systems, or acts or omissions of governmental or regulatory authorities. Force Majeure Events do not include ordinary equipment failures, ordinary network or connectivity failures, failures of subcontractors or suppliers except to the extent caused by a Force Majeure Event, shipping or import delays that were reasonably foreseeable, changes in market conditions, increased costs, or lack of funds.

 

The affected Party shall provide written notice to the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, describing the nature and expected duration of the event and the affected obligations. The affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of and resume performance as promptly as practicable and shall continue performing all unaffected obligations.

 

Customer shall not be obligated to pay Fees for Services not provided during a Force Majeure Event affecting Boost Run’s performance. Customer shall not be entitled to service credits or credits under Exhibit F for downtime caused by a Force Majeure Event, and such downtime shall be excluded from service level calculations.

 

If a Force Majeure Event affecting Boost Run’s performance continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, Customer may terminate the affected Order(s) upon written notice to Boost Run, in which case Boost Run shall refund to Customer any prepaid, unused Fees attributable to Services not rendered during the Force Majeure period, calculated on a pro-rata daily basis. Such termination shall be without penalty, and the foregoing shall not limit any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement with respect to amounts accrued prior to termination.

 

k. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit B

 

Order

 

Customer may order Services only pursuant to a written Order executed by authorized representatives of both Parties. Each Order shall expressly incorporate this Agreement and include, as applicable, the ordered Services, Fees, term, delivery schedule, data center location, quantities, support level, and applicable technical specifications and acceptance criteria. Following execution of an Order, Customer or its authorized representative may use the Boost Run Platform to implement and administer the Services under that Order. For clarity, no Order, Work Order, Rental Request, platform submission, click-through, or API request shall be binding or create any payment obligation unless and until the applicable terms are set forth in an Order executed by both Parties.

 

Setting up an Organization: Upon logging into the Platform, the Customer or an authorized representative of the Customer will need to create an “Organization”. Servers cannot be rented under a “Personal” account. A Personal account is what is generated upon initial logging into the Platform. Once an Organization is created, a Customer can invite other members (with different permissions) into the Organizations. A Customer can create one or more Organizations. Each Organization will have its own server rentals, its own SSH Keys and API keys and its own billing.

 

It is the Customers responsibility to accurately fill out the information for an Organization including understanding Configuring Account Settings, Providing SSH Keys, Creating API Keys, Providing SSH Keys, Documentation, and Rental Request. This information will be used for communication purposes, as well as invoice generation.

 

Configuring Account Settings: Under the Account -> Settings menu item, the Customer will be able to select their Notification preferences.

 

Providing SSH Keys: After filling out the necessary information in the Organization and Settings pages, the Customer should create one or more SSH Keys under the SSH Keys section of the Platform.

 

Creating API Keys: The Customer has the ability to also create API keys for accessing all the Platform services in a programmatic manner. The extensive Redoc and Swagger documentation will allow the Customer to see all available endpoints and incorporate them into their workflow. Note that this is not a requirement to rent Services from Boost Run. The Customer can still only use the web interface for all required functionality.

 

Documentation: The Documentation section of the Platform includes the API documentation, the authentication information, the base URL of the platform for API requests, information on rate limits, and support contact information. Other documents that may be included on this page, such as Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Security Policy, the Boost Run Service Level Agreement (SLA), and the EULA, are provided for informational purposes only and shall not amend this Agreement or any executed Order unless expressly incorporated into a written amendment or Order executed by both Parties.

 

Rental Request: A request for GPU or CPU servers on the Boost Run Platform may be referred to in the Platform as a “Rental Request” or “Work Order.” Any such Rental Request or Work Order is solely an implementation mechanism for an executed Order and shall not amend an executed Order, create a new Order, or create additional payment obligations unless expressly set forth in a written Order or amendment executed by both Parties.

 

Explanation of Fields in the Platform

 

Rental Summary: This section provides the Organization name (Customer), the amount of servers to rent, the total number of rental days, the start and end dates of the rental request, the data center where the server will be located, the prepayment percentage that the customer will be responsible for once the server is ready to be used by the Customer, the estimated total cost of the rental contract, and the estimated prepayment amount due upon the server/s being ready for use. Note that the initial cost and prepayment amount is an estimate at this stage since Boost Run does not charge the customer for the time it takes for the server to be provisioned on the Platform and ready for use. Boost Run starts charging once the server is ready to be used by the Customer.

 

Server Details: This section will list the servers that the Customer selected.

 

SSH Key: Each Order requires a preconfigured SSH Key by the Customer. In the SSH Key section of the Platform, the Customer can set up multiple SSH keys. For a particular Order, only one SSH key will be installed on all servers selected within the Order. If a customer requires multiple SSH keys to be installed on a single server, the Customer is solely responsible for doing so by using the primary key to log into the server and then manually install the remaining SSH keys they wish to add. The Customer has the ability to label the SSH keys with whatever name they want.

19

 

 

Network Cluster: This is a default setting that the Boost Run Platform sets up for each Customer. Any compute rented within an Organization within the Platform will have its own default network-cluster automatically set up.

 

Deployment Profile: The Customer can select to install a particular version of Ubuntu with or without the Nvidia drivers that are provided on the Platform. Upon server initial provisioning, the selected version of Ubuntu and/or Nvidia drivers will be installed on all servers within the Work Order.

 

Customer Notes: A Customer might want to include notes related to their Work Order. This might include their own

P.O number or any other relevant meta data they want to track.

 

No action taken through the Boost Run Platform (including clicking “Confirm Rental” or submitting requests via API) shall constitute Customer’s agreement to a binding Order or create any payment obligation unless and until such terms are expressly set forth in an Order executed by both Parties. In the event of any inconsistency between information displayed in the Platform and an executed Order, the executed Order shall control.

 

What happens after the Order request has been submitted?

 

1. The Boost Run Platform will automatically spin up the requested servers with the configuration requested by the Customer. This includes the networking setup, the SSH key installation, as well as the default selected profile for the operating system (Linux), plus any GPU drivers.

 

2. After the bare metal server/s have been started, Boost Run no longer has access to log into the server/s. Only the Customer with their designated SSH key will be able to access the servers. Boost Run can only reboot or re-provision the server through BMC access upon request. The Customer can also reboot or reprovision the servers through the Platform.

 

3. After the server/s have been successfully started, the Customer will be able to log into them with their SSH key that was attached to the Order.

 

4. The picture below shows an example of two “Active” servers that the Customer can SSH into. Note the static IP address that is assigned to each server and also note the Rental Period (Start/End Dates) along with when the server was Active. This view is accessible under the “Rentals” menu tab.

 

Following provisioning of the Services under an executed Order, Customer shall have an acceptance testing period of seven (7) business days after Boost Run’s written notice that the applicable Services are ready for testing (the “Acceptance Period”) to verify that the Services materially conform to the specifications, acceptance criteria, and requirements set forth in the applicable Order. The Services shall be deemed accepted upon the earliest of (a) Customer’s written notice of acceptance, (b) Customer’s commencement of production use of the Services, or (c) expiration of the Acceptance Period without Customer’s delivery of a written notice of material non-conformance specifying with reasonable detail the alleged non-conformance. If Customer identifies a material non-conformance during the Acceptance Period, Customer may reject the non-conforming Services by notifying Boost Run in writing, and Boost Run shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such non-conformance. After Boost Run notifies Customer that remediation is complete, Customer shall have an additional three (3) business days to verify the remediation. For clarity, Fees shall accrue from the date Boost Run notifies Customer that the Services are ready for use, regardless of whether Customer has commenced production use, and Customer shall pay all such accrued Fees following acceptance.

 

Invoicing: Once acceptance has occurred or the Acceptance Period has expired without written notice of non-conformance, Boost Run may invoice Customer in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order. The Customer is responsible for paying undisputed invoiced amounts by the applicable payment due date. An invoice may include the following parts:

 

Rental Charges: This section outlines the server information such as name of server, Rental ID, Rental duration, as well as information on the hourly rate per GPU price, total billed hours and Total Due. If server/s are rented for multiple months with a 100% prepayment, typically this Rental Charges section will show a $0.00 for subsequent months since the payment was made upfront in the Prepayments section of the invoice.

 

Prepayments: Same information as above, but only shows the Prepayment amount at the beginning of the rental period.

 

Charges: Any excess charges that are applied to the invoice. Typically, this section is $0.00

 

Credits: Any credits that Boost Run provides the Customer in the specific calendar month. In addition to bare metal GPU and CPU server rentals, Orders may include Supplemental Services such as Managed Kubernetes Services, Virtual CPU Services, and Shared Storage Services. Each Supplemental Service shall appear as a separate line item on the applicable Order and invoice.

Exhibit D

 

Security Addendum

 

Boost Run shall maintain and comply with a written information security program of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Infrastructure Platform, the Services, Customer Property in Boost Run’s possession or control, and Customer Confidential Information. Such program shall be no less protective than the safeguards Boost Run uses to protect its own similar systems and data, and shall be consistent with applicable law and generally accepted industry standards for providers of similar bare metal infrastructure services.

 

Boost Run shall maintain commercially reasonable physical security controls for all data centers used to provide the Services, including access controls, visitor management, logging and monitoring of physical access, CCTV or equivalent monitoring, background checks or screening for personnel with access to Customer environments, and incident response procedures. Boost Run shall not relocate Services from the data center location specified in an Order without Customer’s prior written consent.

 

Boost Run shall maintain commercially reasonable logical security controls for Boost Run-controlled systems, including least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, logging and monitoring, vulnerability management, timely remediation of critical vulnerabilities, change management, malware protection, and segregation of Customer environments from other customers.

 

Boost Run shall encrypt Personal Data and Customer Confidential Information in transit and at rest within systems controlled by Boost Run, where technically feasible and consistent with the nature of the Services. For bare metal resources controlled by Customer after handoff, Customer is responsible for encryption and security configuration within the Customer Environment. Boost Run shall provide to TML upon request: physical access logs, logical access logs, and remote session recordings and information for TML single tenant data facilities (Badge Reader data, Teleport/SSH, Tailscale, and any other in-use remote access technology). Boost Run will provide engineering support for automatic data export of requested physical and logical access logs to TML systems. Boost Run will provide engineering and policy support for requested access changes to procedures relevant to TML single tenant data facilities. Possible requested access changes are inclusive but not limited to dual key access with TML personnel in the critical path for both remote and physical access to data halls or management networks. Boost Run will provide engineering support for automatic notification of remote and physical access to data halls or management networks relevant to TML.

 

Upon Customer’s reasonable request no more than annually, and after any Data Incident or material security event affecting Customer, Boost Run shall provide available SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 reports or certificates, penetration test executive summaries, vulnerability management summaries, and responses to reasonable security questionnaires, subject to reasonable confidentiality protections. For single tenant data facilities, Boost Run shall provide reasonably available network architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams between tenant network and management network, and management network configuration information upon reasonable request.

 

Any material degradation of these security requirements, or any material failure to comply with these security requirements, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, without limiting the cure period set out in 10.d .

Exhibit E - Wire Instructions

 

[Boost Run to provide Customer wire instructions upon request]

 

Exhibit F

 

Boost Run Service Level Agreement

 

Boost Run will provide the Services with a SLA Metric of 99.5% and above to Customer. The SLA Metric will be calculated over the duration of the rental for each server on a Monthly Basis. The calculation methodology outlined in this Exhibit F explains the formula used and also provides an example.

 

Definitions

 

- Boost Run Platform: The web service that allows users to rent bare metal servers from Boost Run. The url of this web service is at: platform.boostrun.com

 

- SLA Claim Period: A Customer has 30 days to submit a claim for the Unscheduled Downtime.

 

- Monthly Basis: The number of minutes between 00:00:00 UTC on the first day of the month until 23:59:59 UTC of the last day of the same month.

 

- External Factors: External Factors are deemed as circumstances beyond Boost Run’s reasonable control, but only to the extent not caused by Boost Run and not reasonably preventable or mitigable by Boost Run, including:

 

Network-related factors: Internet connectivity issues between Customer and the Boost Run network caused by Customer’s Internet service provider, transit provider, or other Customer-selected connectivity provider; problems with Customer’s local network infrastructure, DNS issues outside Boost Run’s network, and failures of third-party network services not provided or controlled by Boost Run.
Third-party dependencies: Issues with Customer-managed applications, Customer code, Customer third-party software or services, Customer-configured load balancers, and external database systems not provided or controlled by Boost Run.
Environmental factors: natural disasters, government actions or regulations, and widespread utility outages outside Boost Run data center facilities that are not caused by Boost Run and are not reasonably mitigable through facility backup systems.
Customer-side factors: improper Customer configuration, resource exhaustion directly caused by Customer workloads, Customer-caused security vulnerabilities, and outages or degradation caused by Customer’s breach of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy.
Force Majeure factors: Force Majeure Events as defined in Section 11.j.

 

For clarity, downtime caused by Boost Run’s infrastructure, hardware, software, network, data center facilities, maintenance, subcontractors, or failure to comply with this Agreement shall not constitute an External Factor, except to the extent such downtime is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by Customer.

 

- Scheduled Downtime: Scheduled Downtime means planned infrastructure repairs, maintenance, or upgrades that are scheduled in coordination with Customer, agreed in writing by both Parties at least five (5) business days in advance, occur within the agreed maintenance window, and do not exceed the agreed duration. Boost Run shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct Scheduled Downtime during non-peak periods identified by Customer and in phases across subsets of nodes to minimize lost capacity.

 

Boost Run shall not perform Scheduled Downtime that interrupts or degrades Customer’s active training workloads without Customer’s prior written approval. If emergency maintenance is required to address an immediate and material threat to the integrity, security, or availability of the Services, Boost Run shall provide as much advance notice as reasonably practicable, shall limit the emergency maintenance to the affected resources and shortest duration reasonably necessary, and shall provide Customer with a written summary of the issue, actions taken, and mitigation steps within two (2) business days after completion. Emergency maintenance shall be treated as Unscheduled Downtime except to the extent caused by an External Factor, Force Majeure Event, or Customer.

23

 

 

- Possible Available Uptime: Possible hours of availability on a Monthly Basis minus any Scheduled Downtime and downtime caused by External Factors.

 

- Unscheduled Downtime: Hours on a Monthly Basis when the Boost Run service is not available, other than Scheduled Downtime and downtime caused by External Factors.

 

- SLA Metric Calculation Methodology:

 

SLA Metric = (Possible Available Uptime - Unscheduled Downtime) / (Possible Available Uptime) x 100%.

 

Remediation

 

In the event that the Boost Run SLA Metric for a given server falls below 99.5% in any calendar month, Boost Run shall issue a Credit / credit to Customer’s account on the next monthly invoice, calculated in accordance with the table below.

 

SLA Metric (%)   Credit ($)
95.00 - 99.49   10% of monthly Fees for the affected server
90.00 - 94.99   25% of monthly Fees for the affected server
85.00 - 89.99   50% of monthly Fees for the affected server
00.00 - 84.99   100% of monthly Fees for the affected server

 

Monthly Credit Cap: Notwithstanding the foregoing credit formula, the total Credit payable to Customer with respect to any single server in any calendar month shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the total Fees invoiced to Customer for that server for such month (the “Monthly Credit Cap”). Credits shall be issued as credits against future invoices and shall have no cash value. Boost Run issues invoices on the 1st of each calendar month. For rental agreements of less than thirty-one (31) days, any applicable Credit will be calculated on a pro-rata basis and applied against Customer’s final invoice, or, if the Agreement has terminated, issued as a credit memo.

 

SLA Claim Procedure: To receive a Credit, Customer must submit a written SLA claim to support@boostrun.com within the SLA Claim Period (30 calendar days from the last day of the month in which the Unscheduled Downtime occurred), which claim must include:

 

(i) the specific server(s) affected, identified by server ID and Rental ID as shown in the Boost Run Platform;
(ii) the date(s) and time(s) (UTC) of the claimed Unscheduled Downtime;
(iii) a description of the service disruption and the impact on Customer’s operations; and
(iv) any logs, screenshots, or other evidence supporting the claim.

 

Claims that do not include the information specified above, or that are submitted after the SLA Claim Period, shall be deemed waived and Boost Run shall have no obligation to investigate or honor such claims.

 

Chronic Failure: If the SLA Metric for the affected Services, in the aggregate, falls below 90% in three (3) months during any rolling six (6) month period, Customer may terminate the affected Services (or the Agreement, if material Services are affected) upon written notice to Boost Run without penalty, and Boost Run shall refund any prepaid, unused Fees for the terminated Services.

 

Sole and Exclusive Remedy: Except for Customer’s termination right for Chronic Failure and any rights or remedies arising from Boost Run’s breach of its confidentiality, security, data protection, indemnity, or other obligations under the Agreement, the Credits provided under this Exhibit F, subject to the Monthly Credit Cap, constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Boost Run’s sole and exclusive obligation, with respect to any failure to meet the SLA Metric.
