Provider terms

Review the terms of service and hosting region for each AI provider available through Gateway.

When using Gateway, your requests are routed to third-party AI providers and execution hosts. You are responsible for complying with the terms of service and usage policies of each provider that serves your requests.

The table below lists every provider Gateway can route to today. Country / Region indicates where the vendor’s serving infrastructure is located, which feeds geo-location routing on each org.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of models through Gateway complies with the applicable provider’s terms. Merge does not assume liability for violations of third-party provider policies.


Region-based routing

Use the Country or Region columns to drive vendor allow / deny lists for data-sovereignty requirements:

  • Country codes are ISO-3166 alpha-2 (e.g. US, FR, CA).
  • Regions are coarse buckets used by Gateway: NA, EU, APAC, CN.

For example, to restrict your org to EU-hosted vendors only, add EU to your org’s allowed_regions. See Geo-location routing for the full configuration model.


Zero data retention

Vendor eligibility for ZDR is tracked dynamically in Gateway’s catalog. Call GET /v1/models and read each model’s zero_data_retention field to see exactly which routes qualify under your org’s ZDR toggle. See Zero data retention for the full feature description.
