Terms of service

Service

Codex API provides a dashboard, sk-cxa-* API keys, and an OpenAI-compatible gateway at https://staging.codex-api.online/v1 and https://staging.codex-api.online/backend-api/codex.

The service works as a technical gateway: it receives the user's request, checks the key and balance, forwards the request to an upstream provider, and returns the response.

Account and keys

The user is responsible for a valid email, password safety, API key safety, and access to their clients.

Do not share a key with third parties or publish it in repositories, logs, chats, or client-side code.

If a key may be compromised, revoke or rotate it and contact support.

Balance and charges

The balance is a prepaid token amount charged according to actual provider usage and text/image endpoint billing rules.

The dashboard and usage ledger are the primary source of operation records.

Bonus and referral credits are not cash and may have separate use rules.

Availability and limits

The service depends on upstream providers, network conditions, model limits, and maintenance, so individual requests may fail, retry, or hit rate limits.

The operator may temporarily restrict access if requests threaten security, create excessive load, bypass limits, or violate acceptable use rules.

Prohibited use

Illegal activity, malware, spam, phishing, bypassing protections, infringement, attacks on the service, and attacks on upstream providers are prohibited.

The user is responsible for request content, model outputs, and compliance with the platforms they integrate with.

Support and changes

Operational questions, top-ups, and disputed charges are handled through support: https://t.me/VIDADS_RU_SUPPORT.

The operator may update terms, prices, available models, and technical limits. The current version is published on this page.
