Fair Use Policy

Effective Date: 12.05.2026

The general idea

We aim to keep our pricing simple and therefore don't charge extra for things like bandwidth and build minutes. That works because the vast majority of customers use Sliplane the way it was designed: to run their applications. This policy exists for the small number of edge cases where usage starts to affect our infrastructure or other customers, and it tells you where we'd want to have a conversation.

Bandwidth

Outbound traffic is included with every server at no extra cost. There are no hard caps and we don't throttle.

If your server stays under 1 TB of outbound traffic per month, you are clearly fine. If you expect or are already seeing more, just drop us a line. There's a good chance it's still no problem, but we'd like to understand the use case. Short bursts are usually not an issue; we look at sustained patterns.

Compute and storage

CPU, RAM, and disk are tied to the server size you book. Use them as you like for your own application. Where we ask for a heads-up is when Sliplane is being used as raw capacity for something it's not designed for, like batch compute farms, render farms, large-scale training jobs, or treating disks as bulk archival storage for data unrelated to a running application.

Service builds

Build minutes for your services are included and run on shared infrastructure. Please use them for building the applications you actually deploy on Sliplane, not as a general-purpose CI runner or for builds unrelated to your servers.

Uses outside fair use

Sliplane is meant for running your own applications. Use cases where the platform itself is mainly being used to move, store, or relay data on behalf of others fall outside fair use, regardless of volume.

Some specific use cases are explicitly forbidden under our Terms of Service. If you're unsure whether your use case fits, get in touch before you deploy.

How we handle excess

Our first step is always an email. We share what we're seeing and work with you on next steps: tuning the application, moving to a larger server, agreeing on a metered overage, or, in clear abuse cases, suspending the service in line with our Terms. We don't silently throttle or shut things down without contacting you first, except where required to protect our network or other customers.

Contact

Questions, or unsure if your use case fits? Email support@sliplane.io before you deploy. We'd rather talk it through up front.
