By accessing or using TokenEase services ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

By creating an account, subscribing to a plan, or making API calls through our gateway, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the website. Your continued use of the Service after any changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be notified via email or a prominent notice on our website.

2. Description of Service

TokenEase provides an API gateway service that allows developers to access multiple AI language models through a unified interface. Our Service aggregates access to models provided by third-party AI companies including but not limited to DeepSeek, Zhipu AI (GLM), Alibaba Cloud (Qwen), ByteDance (Doubao), Moonshot AI (Kimi), and Tencent Cloud.

We do not own, operate, or control the underlying AI models. We are a gateway provider that routes your requests to these third-party services. The quality, availability, accuracy, and performance of AI-generated outputs depend on the underlying model providers and are outside our direct control.

4. Subscription Plans and Payments

We offer the following subscription tiers:

4.3 Pay-As-You-Go

Alternatively, you may add balance to your account and pay only for the tokens you use, without a monthly subscription. Balance does not expire but is non-refundable except as specified in our Refund Policy.

4.4 Billing and Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew on a monthly basis unless cancelled. Payments are processed through Paddle, our payment processor. You authorize us to charge your selected payment method for all applicable fees. Failed payments may result in service suspension after a 3-day grace period.

We may adjust pricing with 30 days' advance notice. Price changes will not affect subscriptions already paid for the current billing period.

5.2 Scheduled Maintenance

We may perform scheduled maintenance with advance notice when possible. Maintenance windows will be announced at least 48 hours in advance via our status page and email notifications to affected users.
