Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-10-16
Draft template — pending legal review. Not final terms. Placeholder wording to be replaced before launch.
1. Acceptance
By creating an account or using cheaptokens, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. The service
cheaptokens provides programmatic access to third-party open-weight AI models through an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API. The service is provided on an as-is basis.
3. Payments and balance
You pre-fund a USD balance with crypto, or by card through a third-party partner, and spend it as you go at the per-token rates published on the pricing page. A deposit fee applies; for card payments the partner and the payment provider charge their own fees, and your balance is credited with the amount actually received. Unused balance does not expire. A top-up that has not been used at all can be refunded within the period set in the Refund Policy; payment fees are not refunded and the cost of the refund is paid by the buyer. Token usage is not refundable.
4. Refunds
Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy, which is part of these Terms. It does not limit the rights you have under applicable law.
5. Partner program
Participation in the partner program is governed by the Partner Program Terms, which are part of these Terms.
6. Availability and disclaimer
The service is provided without warranties or uptime guarantees (no SLA). Model outputs may be inaccurate; you are responsible for reviewing them before use. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages to the extent permitted by law.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use the service for unlawful activity, to generate prohibited content, to abuse rate limits, or to resell access in violation of these Terms. We may suspend accounts that violate this section.
8. Changes
We may update these Terms and the published prices. Price changes are announced in advance and apply only from their effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
