1. Nature of Service
1. Platform positioning
冰AI is an AI service interface aggregation and technology relay platform that helps users access models or related capabilities provided by third-party AI service providers through unified or compatible API interfaces.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated:
- 冰AI does not independently develop or operate all AI models invoked by users;
- Model inference, content generation, and some data processing may be handled by third-party service providers;
- 冰AI mainly provides request forwarding, interface adaptation, model routing, account management, quota settlement, access control, and related technical services;
- There may not necessarily be an agency, cooperation, authorization, affiliation, or endorsement relationship between 冰AI and third-party models or service providers;
- The interface names, model names, trademarks, or compatibility descriptions displayed on the platform are only for indicating technical capabilities, compatibility, or service sources, and do not represent endorsement or endorsement of 冰AI by any relevant third party.
2. Third-party services
Models and related functions invoked by users through 冰AI may be provided by third parties. The availability, response speed, output quality, content rules, model version, context length, price, and features of third-party services may change at any time.
Since 冰AI cannot fully control third-party services, it does not guarantee:
- Any model or line is always available;
- Third-party services will not be adjusted, suspended, or terminated;
- Model name, version, parameters, or capabilities remain unchanged over the long term;
- Model outputs must be completely accurate, legal, secure, or meet user expectations;
- Third-party services always maintain the same response speed and service quality.
Depending on the status of third-party services, security requirements, or operational needs, 冰AI may adjust model routes, request routing, upstream service providers, or technical implementation.
3. Service Recipients
This service is mainly for users with commercial API call needs. Users can use this service in a personal capacity or on behalf of an organization or other entity.
If a user uses this service on behalf of an organization or other entity, the user confirms that they have the legal authorization to accept these terms and bind the relevant entity to these terms.
Users who have not reached the legal adult age in their country or region should use this service under the consent and guidance of their guardians. If applicable law prohibits minors from using the relevant services, minors are not allowed to register for or use this service.

If a user submits the above content, 冰AI may refuse to process or forward the related request, and, depending on the nature, severity, frequency of occurrence, and potential risks, take measures such as violation warnings, restricting access, freezing API keys, suspending accounts, or permanently banning accounts.
Requests involving sexual content concerning minors, serious graphic or violent content, clear illegal or criminal activity, or other major security risks may result in immediate account suspension without prior warning.
5. Pre-request Review and Violation Summary
1. Pre-request security review
To protect the safety of the platform, third-party service providers, users, and the public, 冰AI has established a pre-request security review mechanism.
User-submitted requests may be detected, analyzed, and classified by automated security systems before being forwarded to third-party model service providers. When necessary, 冰AI can conduct manual verification within the minimum necessary scope.
If the security system believes that a request may violate these terms, applicable laws, or platform security rules, 冰AI may take one or more of the following measures:
- Blocking requests for forwarding;
- Refusing to generate or return relevant content;
- Sending violation alerts to users;
- Restrict accounts, API keys, models, or related functions;
- Record relevant security incidents;
- Suspension or permanent account ban;
- Take other legally permitted risk control measures.
Pre-request security review is only for risk identification, violation prevention, and platform protection, and does not represent 冰AI's guarantee of the legality, accuracy, or security of the request or output content.
A request passing security review does not necessarily mean that the request or its output complies with all applicable laws, third-party policies, or specific use case requirements. Users should still bear their own compliance review responsibilities.
2. Request a summary of the violation
When the system detects that a request may involve a violation, 冰AI may retain the minimum necessary request summary directly related to the violation judgment, for the purposes of:
- Explaining the reason for the violation to the user;
- Identifying repeated, malicious, or severe violations;
- Handling user appeals or disputes;
- Conducting security audits and abuse prevention;
- Improving security detection and risk identification mechanisms;
- Fulfilling applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
The violation request summary may include:
- A brief description of the violating content or safety classification;
- Necessary text segments directly related to the violation judgment;
- Request time, request ID, model name, and account identification;
- Violation type, risk level, and actions taken by the system;
- Necessary technical information directly related to security incident investigation.
冰AI strives to avoid saving the full request, personal information, or other sensitive data that are unrelated to the violation judgment in the summary.
3. Summary Retention Period
The violation request summary is retained for 7 days from the date of detection.
After the retention period expires, 冰AI will delete the relevant summary or perform irreversible anonymization, except in the following situations:
- Applicable laws and regulations require continued retention;
- Judicial authorities, regulatory agencies, or other competent authorities lawfully require retention;
- Relevant records involve ongoing security incidents, user appeals, payment disputes, or legal disputes;
- Continued retention is necessary to prevent ongoing serious attacks, fraud, or illegal activities.
In the above exceptions, 冰AI will continue to retain the information only for the period and scope necessary to achieve the relevant purposes.
4. Violation Reminder
For general violations, 冰AI may issue reminders to users via request error messages, console prompts, account notifications, or other reasonable methods.
Violation reminders may include the violation type, processing results, and recommendations for future use. Upon receiving the reminder, users should promptly cease the relevant behavior and take necessary measures to prevent their employees, developers, partners, or end users from violating again.
For behaviors involving sexual content with minors, severe violence, fraud, malware, cyber attacks, or other serious illegal or security risks, 冰AI may restrict, suspend, or ban accounts without prior notice.
VI. Input Content and Output Content
1. Input Content
"Input content" refers to text, images, audio, video, files, code, prompts, or other data submitted by users through this service.
Users retain the rights they are legally entitled to regarding the input content and confirm:
- Users have the right to submit and process relevant content;
- The input content does not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others;
- The user has obtained the authorization, license, or consent required by applicable law;
- The input content does not contain personal information, trade secrets, or other protected information that the user has no authority to handle;
- The input content complies with these terms and applicable legal requirements.
2. Output content
"Output Content" refers to text, images, audio, video, code, or other content returned by third-party models or related services based on user input.
To the extent permitted by applicable laws and relevant third-party rules, 冰AI does not claim ownership of user-generated content.
Users understand and agree to:
- The output content is mainly generated by third-party models;
- 冰AI cannot guarantee the originality of the output content;
- Different users may receive the same or similar output;
- The output may contain errors, omissions, fabrications, biases, or outdated information;
- The output content may not be protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights;
- The output content may be subject to applicable laws or third-party service rules;
- The output content may not reflect 冰AI's views or positions.
3. User review responsibilities
Users should conduct necessary reviews before using, publishing, distributing, executing, or relying on output content.
The output content must not directly replace legal, medical, financial, investment, safety, or other professional advice provided by professionals. For scenarios that may affect personal safety, major property rights, or important decisions, users should conduct manual verification and, if necessary, consult qualified professionals.
Users are responsible for the manner of using the output content and the related consequences.
7. Data Processing and Privacy
1. Necessary data transmission
To complete model calls, 冰AI may need to transmit user input, request parameters, and necessary technical information to third-party model service providers.
The relevant data may be handled by the following entities:
- 冰AI;
- Cloud computing, networking, storage, security, billing, or payment service providers used by 冰AI;
- Third-party service providers that actually provide model reasoning capabilities;
- Other technical service providers necessary to fulfill user requests.
Users understand and agree that relevant data may be transmitted or processed in jurisdictions outside the user's country or region based on model lines, server locations, and technical arrangements of third-party service providers.
Third-party service providers may process relevant data according to their own data policies. Users should not submit highly sensitive information that is unsuitable for third-party processing through this service.
2. Technical Logs
To facilitate billing, troubleshooting, security auditing, abuse prevention, and service optimization, 冰AI may record necessary technical information, including:
- Request time;
- The model and route called;
- Number of tokens or other usage information;
- Request status and error information;
- IP address, device information, account identifiers, or API key identifiers;
- Request ID, response time, and fault information;
- Necessary logs related to security auditing and risk control.
Except for summaries of violating requests, materials actively submitted by users for troubleshooting, or when required by law, 冰AI will minimize the retention of complete request content.
3. Security Review Data
To perform pre-request security reviews, 冰AI may conduct automated analysis of request content.
If a request is determined to be potentially violating, 冰AI may retain the minimum necessary summary directly related to the violation judgment in accordance with Section 5 of these terms. Violation summaries are usually retained for 7 days and will be deleted or irreversibly anonymized after the period expires, except where continued retention is required for legal reasons, security incidents, dispute resolution, or investigations.
4. Model Training
Unless explicit consent is separately obtained from the user, 冰AI will not use user-submitted API input content, output content, or violation summaries to train 冰AI's proprietary generative AI models.
冰AI may use aggregated data or anonymized statistical information that does not contain identifiable user content to improve billing, model routing, service stability, security detection, and abuse prevention mechanisms.
Whether third-party model service providers retain request data or use such data for service improvement or model training will depend on the third party’s actual policy, interface type, and data protection settings.
5. Sensitive Information
Unless 冰AI explicitly states that the relevant service is suitable for handling such information, users should not submit:
- Account passwords, private keys, verification codes, or authentication credentials;
- Full bank card information, payment passwords, or financial account credentials;
- State secrets or other information strictly controlled by law;
- Unauthorized trade secrets;
- Medical, identity, biometric, or other sensitive personal information that is specially protected by law;
- Any information that, if disclosed, could cause significant personal, property, or security loss.
8. Billing, Balance, and Refunds
1. Billing Methods
This service may charge based on the number of tokens, number of requests, number of images, audio or video duration, computation time, model multiplier, or other methods publicly displayed on the webpage.
Actual charges may be influenced by the following factors:
- The length of input and output content;
- Billing standards for different models or channels;
- Caching, tool calls, image, audio, or video processing;
- Price adjustments by third-party service providers;
- Exchange rates, payment channel fees, or taxes;
- Other billing rules announced by 冰AI.
Users should check the relevant model's price and billing instructions before using the service.
2. Balance and Quotas
Users can obtain account balance or service quotas through recharge, purchasing packages, or other methods.
Unless otherwise clearly stated on the page:
- Balances and quotas are only for paying 冰AI service fees;
- Balances and quotas are not bank deposits, electronic money, or financial products;
- Balances and quotas do not accrue interest;
- Balances and quotas cannot be privately traded or transferred;
- Gift quotas, promotional quotas, event quotas, and compensation quotas have no cash value;
- Balances and quotas may be subject to validity periods, model scope, or package rules.
3. Billing Anomalies
If duplicate charges, obvious billing errors, or charges for requests that were not actually forwarded occur due to a 冰AI system error, 冰AI will handle them after verification by returning balances, reissuing quotas, or other reasonable methods.
The following situations are generally not considered billing errors:
- The request has already been sent to a third-party service provider;
- The third-party has already begun processing the request;
- The request fails due to content review, parameter errors, timeout, or upstream errors, but third-party costs have already been incurred;
- The user actively disconnected, but the request is still being executed in the background;
- Calls generated due to user code auto-retry, improper concurrency control, or API key leaks;
- The output does not meet the user’s subjective expectations.
Whether charges apply depends on actual billing rules, request status, and third-party returned results.
4. Refund for Unused Balance
Users may apply for a refund of the balance obtained through actual payment that has not yet been used.
冰AI will charge a 10% refund handling fee on unused balances that meet the refund conditions. The refund handling fee is usually directly deducted from the refundable amount.
The calculation method of the refund amount is as follows:
Actual Refund Amount = Eligible Unused Balance × 90%
For example, if the eligible unused balance is $100, after deducting a 10% refund fee, the actual refund amount is $90.
The following amounts are not considered refundable balances:
- Amounts that have already been used or incurred service costs;
- Gift credits, promotional credits, activity credits, or compensation credits;
- Redemption codes, non-cash rewards, or other credits not actually paid by the user;
- Amounts that have already been refunded, canceled, or are under payment dispute;
- Amounts prohibited from being refunded by laws and regulations.
Refunds are generally returned to the original payment method. If it is not possible to refund through the original channel due to the payment channel, bank, exchange rates, foreign exchange control, or other objective reasons, 冰AI may handle it through other reasonable methods.
Any fees, exchange charges, or taxes separately charged by the payment channel, bank, or other third parties may be additionally deducted from the refund amount.
If the applicable law prohibits collecting the above refund fees or requires providing more favorable refund rights, the mandatory provisions of the applicable law shall prevail.
5. Refund Processing Time
Refund requests need to go through verification of the account, payment source, refundable balance, and security risk. The actual time for refund receipt depends on the processing arrangements of the payment channel, bank, and settlement institutions.
Users are not allowed to evade service fees that have already been incurred through refunds, chargebacks, payment disputes, or other methods.
6. Price Adjustment
冰AI may adjust prices based on third-party prices, exchange rates, operating costs, market conditions, or service strategy.
Price adjustments generally only apply to usage generated after the adjustment takes effect and do not retroactively increase fees for usage already completed. Continued use of the relevant service after the price adjustment takes effect is considered acceptance of the adjusted price.
IX. Service Availability and Changes
冰AI will take reasonable measures to maintain service stability but does not guarantee that the service will always be uninterrupted, delay-free, error-free, or permanently available.
The service may be suspended, delayed, or unavailable due to the following reasons:
- System maintenance, upgrades, or migration;
- Network, server, domain, data center, or infrastructure failures;
- Abnormalities in third-party model services;
- Changes in third-party interfaces, accounts, quotas, policies, or authorizations;
- Sudden traffic spikes, malicious attacks, or security incidents;
- Changes in laws, regulations, sanctions, or compliance requirements;
- Natural disasters, wars, public health events, or other force majeure events;
- Other matters beyond 冰AI's reasonable control.
冰AI may add, modify, replace, restrict, or stop certain models, lines, or functions based on the status of operations, technology, security, or third-party services.
For long-term adjustments that may have a significant impact on users, 冰AI will try to provide prior notice through website announcements, console notifications, or other reasonable means. However, in cases of security incidents, sudden upstream disruptions, serious abuse, regional restrictions, or legal requirements, 冰AI may take immediate action.
10. Account Restrictions, Bans, and Mandatory Refunds
1. General Measures
Depending on the nature, severity, frequency, and potential risk of the violation, 冰AI may take one or more of the following measures:

- Continuing to provide services that could expose 冰AI, third-party service providers, or other entities to significant legal, security, or compliance risks;
- When required by laws, regulations, courts, regulatory authorities, or third-party service providers to stop related services.
3. Mandatory Refunds
If an account is permanently banned due to serious or repeated violations, 冰AI will stop the account from continuing to access the services and will forcibly refund the unused balance in the account that qualifies for a refund.
Unless otherwise stipulated by applicable law, the forced refund will also incur a 10% refund fee on the unused balance that qualifies for a refund.
The forced refund amount is calculated as follows:
Forced Refund Amount = Unused balance eligible for refund × 90%
The following items are not included in the forced refund amount:
- Already used balance;
- Request fees that have already incurred third-party service costs;
- Gift credits, discount credits, promotional credits, or compensation credits;
- Funds that have been revoked, frozen, or returned by a payment institution;
- Funds that are legally required to be frozen, withheld, or handled in cooperation with an investigation.
In principle, the forced refund will be returned to the original payment channel. After the forced refund is completed, the account and the related API keys will remain deactivated.
A forced refund does not indicate that 冰AI overturns its determination of the relevant violations, nor does it grant the user the right to re-register an account or continue using the services.
4. Refund Handling for Suspected Illegal Activities
If an account is suspected of the following activities, 冰AI may delay the refund within the limits permitted by applicable law:
- Involvement in child sexual exploitation or abuse materials;
- Involvement in fraud, money laundering, unauthorized transactions, or illegal funds;
- Involvement in cyberattacks, malware, or other illegal/criminal activities;
- Payments under investigation by payment institutions, banks, judicial authorities, or regulatory agencies;
- Freezing, withholding, or delaying funds as required by laws, regulations, or competent authorities.
In such cases, 冰AI may legally cooperate with payment institutions, judicial authorities, or regulatory agencies to carry out necessary actions.
5. Restrictions After Account Ban
After an account is permanently banned:
- Users may not continue to access the API or restricted services;
- Related API keys will be deactivated;
- Users may not register new accounts, borrow others' accounts, or otherwise circumvent the ban;
- Request summaries related to the violation will be retained according to the 7-day retention rule, except where continued retention is required by law or for investigative purposes;
- 冰AI may refuse to provide services to the user again.
