Terms of Service
Last updated: March 21, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Manifest ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Description of service
Manifest is an open source LLM routing platform that analyzes query complexity and routes requests to the most cost-effective model. The Service is available as:
- Local version: Self-hosted, fully offline. No account required.
- Cloud version: Hosted proxy with dashboard, cost tracking, and account management.
3. Accounts
To use the cloud version, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and API keys. You must not share your credentials with third parties.
4. API keys and providers
You provide your own API keys for LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). Manifest routes requests through these providers on your behalf. You are responsible for compliance with each provider's terms of service and usage policies. Manifest is not responsible for charges incurred with third-party providers.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
- Reverse engineer the cloud infrastructure (the open source code is freely available)
6. Open source license
The Manifest source code is released under the MIT License. You may use, modify, and distribute the code in accordance with that license. These Terms of Service apply specifically to the hosted cloud version at app.manifest.build.
7. Data handling
Our handling of your data is governed by our Privacy Policy. In the cloud version, Manifest operates as a blind proxy and does not read, store, or log the content of your LLM requests or responses.
8. Service availability
We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Manifest shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Service.
10. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these terms. Upon termination, your right to use the cloud version ceases. The local version remains available under the MIT License.
11. Changes to terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
