You're responsible for following the terms of each vendor that serves your requests. **Country / region** shows the tags [geo-location routing](/merge-gateway/security/geo-location-routing) matches. This table is maintained by hand, so a new vendor can appear in `GET /v1/vendors` first. Vendors aren't model providers: Llama, Qwen, and DeepSeek models, for example, reach you through the vendors below. A model's `vendors` object in `GET /v1/models` lists which serve it. | Vendor | Country / region | Terms of service | | -------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Amazon Bedrock** | US / NA | [Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/) | | **Anthropic** | US / NA | [Commercial Terms](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms) | | **Augure** | CA / NA | [Terms of Service](https://augureai.ca/terms) | | **Azure OpenAI** | US / NA | [Microsoft Product Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/) | | **Baseten** | US / NA | [Terms and Conditions](https://www.baseten.co/terms-and-conditions/) | | **Bland** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.bland.ai/legal/terms-of-service) | | **Cohere** | CA / NA | [Terms of Use](https://cohere.com/terms-of-use) | | **EmpirioLabs** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://empiriolabs.ai/policy/terms-of-service) | | **Fireworks AI** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://fireworks.ai/terms-of-service) | | **Google Gemini** | US / NA | [Gemini API Terms](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms) | | **Google Vertex AI** | US / NA | [Google Cloud Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/terms) | | **Interfaze** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://interfaze.ai/legal/terms) | | **Makora** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.makora.com/terms-of-service) | | **Modal** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://modal.com/legal/terms) | | **MorphLLM** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.morphllm.com/privacy/tos) | | **NVIDIA** | US / NA | [API Trial Terms of Service](https://assets.ngc.nvidia.com/products/api-catalog/legal/NVIDIA%20API%20Trial%20Terms%20of%20Service.pdf) | | **OpenAI** | US / NA | [Services Agreement](https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/) | | **Parasail** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://parasail.io/legal/terms-of-service) | | **Pareto** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://paretoinference.com/terms) | | **Sail Research** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.sailresearch.com/terms) | | **Tera** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.tera.gw/terms) | | **Together AI** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://www.together.ai/terms-of-service) | | **TypeSafe AI** | US / NA | [Terms of Service](https://typesafe.ai/legal/terms) | | **xAI** | US / NA | [Enterprise Terms of Service](https://x.ai/legal/terms-of-service-enterprise) | | **Mistral** | FR / EU | [Terms of Service](https://legal.mistral.ai/terms) | | **Alibaba Cloud** | SG / APAC | [International Website Product Terms of Service](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/legal/latest/alibaba-cloud-international-website-product-terms-of-service-v-3-8-0) | | **BytePlus** | SG / APAC | [Terms of Service](https://docs.byteplus.com/en/docs/legal/docs-terms-of-service) | | **Sakana AI** | JP / APAC | [Terms of Service](https://console.sakana.ai/terms-of-service) | | **DeepSeek** | CN / CN | [Open Platform Terms of Service](https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-open-platform-terms-of-service.html) | | **MiniMax** | CN / CN | [Terms of Service](https://www.minimaxi.com/protocol/terms-of-service) | | **Moonshot AI** | CN / CN | [Kimi OpenPlatform Terms](https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse) | | **Xiaomi Mimo** | CN / CN | [MiMo Service Agreement](https://mimo.mi.com/docs/terms/user-agreement) | | **Z.AI** | CN / CN | [API Services Additional Terms](https://chat.z.ai/legal-agreement/terms-of-service#additional-terms-for-api-services) | > **Note** > > Merge doesn't assume liability for violations of a vendor's terms or usage policies.
