Terms of Service

1. Acceptance, Requirements & Fees

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by Cheapestinference Lab, Co. ("Company", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using our services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the services.

You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. You are responsible for providing your own internet access and compatible devices.

We offer subscription plans, payable by credit card (Stripe) or USDC on Base L2. Card (Stripe) subscriptions are recurring subscriptions billed by Stripe on a monthly (or, where offered, yearly) cycle, and renew automatically until cancelled. USDC and x402 subscriptions are one-time purchases that grant 30 days of access, expire at the end of that period, and are never charged automatically — you renew manually if you wish to continue.

Currency. Prices are published in US Dollars. Depending on the country of your payment method, checkout may present and charge the price in another currency. The amount in that currency is set by us: it may be the same numeric figure as the dollar price or use our own conversion rate, and in either case it may differ from the prevailing market exchange rate. The amount shown at checkout before you confirm is the binding price; no adjustment, credit, or refund is made for exchange-rate differences.

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on our website. Continued use of the services after changes constitutes acceptance.

1.1 Unlimited Subscriptions

Unlimited subscriptions are billed immediately upon purchase. If you pay by card (Stripe), your subscription is recurring: you authorize us to charge your payment method on file the stated amount each billing cycle until you cancel. If you pay with USDC or x402, your purchase is one-time: we do not store a payment method and no automatic charge is ever made — access simply expires 30 days after purchase unless you renew manually. You may cancel future renewals at any time; access continues until the end of the current paid period.

1.2 Fair Use

Unlimited subscriptions are not metered or billed per token during your reserved time blocks, and this includes sustained heavy and automated workloads. “Unlimited” refers to the absence of per-token billing and token caps; it is not a guarantee of any particular response speed, throughput, or number of requests, which vary with load, request size, and model. Each subscription serves one request at a time. Unlimited subscriptions are, in addition, subject to a fair-use protection: we may apply safeguards to usage patterns that substantially exceed what a single subscriber's workload can reasonably generate — such as deliberate saturation, runaway automation loops, or use inconsistent with an individual subscription. Where a safeguard is triggered, the affected key may be throttled or paused for the remainder of the billing period. Safeguards are designed to avoid affecting typical individual use; their calibration is internal, may change at any time, and is not published. Activation of a fair-use safeguard is not a service failure or outage and does not give rise to any refund, credit, or other remedy.

1.3 Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel at any time, on your own, from your billing page. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the current paid period. Card (Stripe) subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; USDC and x402 subscriptions are one-time and simply expire after their 30 days with no auto-renewal.

Because access is delivered immediately and in full for each billing period, all fees are final and non-refundable, in whole or in part, once the billing period has started. This applies regardless of how much of the period or of the service you use, and includes dissatisfaction with response speed, throughput, model behavior, or the activation of a fair-use safeguard (Section 1.2), none of which constitutes a failure to deliver the service. We do not issue refunds to the original payment method. Duplicate or accidental purchases, reported promptly, are handled by cancelling the duplicate and crediting its amount to your account balance, to be applied to future invoices only.

By purchasing, you request that the service starts immediately, before the end of any statutory withdrawal period, and you acknowledge that, once the service has started, you lose any right of withdrawal you may otherwise have had. Where applicable law nonetheless grants you a mandatory right that cannot be waived, that right applies to the extent required by such law, and nothing more.

If a payment dispute or chargeback is initiated for fees corresponding to service already delivered, we may suspend the associated account while the dispute is pending. We encourage you to contact support first — most billing issues can be resolved directly.

2. Accounts & Security

You must provide accurate and complete registration information and keep your account credentials confidential. You are solely responsible for all activity under your account.

We may suspend or terminate your account with reasonable notice if you breach these Terms or if required by law. Where the breach constitutes serious misuse as described in Section 4.1, or where the law requires us to act, suspension or termination may be immediate and without prior notice, and fees already paid are not refunded. Upon termination, we may delete your account data. Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 survive termination.

To cancel your account, email contact@cheapestinference.com.

3. Intellectual Property & Data

We do not use your prompts or completions to train models. Prompts and completions are processed in memory and are never stored to disk.

You retain ownership of the input you submit. Output generated by the models is assigned to you. You may use it for any lawful purpose.

You may not submit content that infringes third-party rights, is illegal, or is used to harass others. Any feedback you provide about the services becomes Company property.

4. Restrictions & Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the services for any illegal activity.
• Use the services to attack, probe, exploit, or gain unauthorized access to any system, network, account, or data that you do not own or are not explicitly authorized in writing to test. Authorized security testing (for example, a bug-bounty program or an engagement with a written scope) is permitted only within the limits of that authorization.
• Create, distribute, or operate malware, phishing, fraud schemes, or any tooling intended to harm third parties.
• Harass, threaten, or harm any person, or generate content for those purposes.
• Attempt to extract, scrape, or systematically download data from the services.
• Misrepresent AI-generated output as human-created where disclosure is required by law.
• Attack, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the services or their infrastructure.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or emulate the services.
• Resell access to the services without prior written authorization.
• Exceed the rate limits or budget allocations of your plan through any circumvention.
• Exceed the per-key concurrency limit of your subscription. Additional keys may be created for parallelism.

4.1 Serious misuse & enforcement

Illegal activity, unauthorized attacks or access, malware, fraud, and harm to third parties, as described above, constitute serious misuse. If we have a good-faith belief that serious misuse has occurred, we may, without prior notice: block or revoke API keys, suspend or terminate the account without refund, and preserve the records of the relevant activity.

We may disclose account information and activity records to the parties affected by the misuse, to service providers involved in the incident (such as hosting or payment providers), and to law enforcement or other competent authorities, where we consider it necessary to address the misuse, to protect our users or third parties, or where required by law. You remain responsible under Section 6 for any damage caused, and we reserve all rights and remedies, including legal action.

5. Warranty Disclaimers

The services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that model outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular use.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the services.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the six (6) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or your illegal use of the services.

7. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Before initiating arbitration, you must send written notice to contact@cheapestinference.com and allow 60 days to attempt informal resolution.

You agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of accepting these Terms by sending written notice to the address below.

8. General Provisions

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Company may assign this agreement. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our prior written approval. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, or government action.
