Can I use IBM Watson services without Bluemix?

I've been using AWS for hosting my backend servers. What's the best way to sign up an account so I can call Watson services from my servers directly, without an account on Bluemix? If yes, how? I couldn't find that at Watson's website. Thanks.

You can absolutely use the Watson APIs from platforms and endpoints other than Bluemix. They are all REST APIs that do not restrict access by the source of the call. You do however have to use Bluemix to sign up, get credentials and for billing.
