Terms of Service
Two modes, one gateway. What you may do, what we do not promise, and what is still unfinished.
1. Status of these terms
These terms describe the current reference implementation of tokencoup so integrators can build against it. They are informational, not a contract. Do not rely on them for production or commercial use.
2. The service
tokencoup provides (a) a static directory of open-source AI agents indexed from GitHub, and (b) a gateway that forwards OpenAI-compatible requests to Baidu Qianfan under two modes: Mode A (you bring your own Qianfan key) and Mode B (metered access to tokencoup's international key pool).
The gateway does not rewrite request bodies. Model availability, model behaviour and upstream errors are Qianfan's. See the API reference.
3. Eligibility and accounts
Access is by gateway API key (X-Gateway-Key). A self-service account and sign-in are not live. You must be legally able to enter a contract and must have the right to use any Qianfan key you supply.
4. Mode A — bring your own key
You supply a Qianfan key via Authorization: Bearer … or X-Provider-Key. It is forwarded to the upstream and is not stored by tokencoup. You are responsible for that key's provenance, quota, cost, and compliance with the Qianfan terms that apply to it.
403 key_edition_mismatch. Circumventing this check is a violation of these terms.5. Mode B is not offered on this edition
Domestic Qianfan terms prohibit resale and redistribution. This edition serves Mode A only; a Mode B path returns 403 mode_B_not_allowed_on_cn. If you need metered, key-free access, use the international edition.
6. Pricing and payment
Plan prices, token quotas and rate limits shown on the Pricing page are injected from gateway/plans.py, the same values the gateway enforces. Billing is in USD. Payment processing, invoicing, VAT handling, refunds and dispute procedures are not implemented and no charges are made today.
7. Acceptable use
You must not:
- Use the service for unlawful content, harassment, malware, or infringement of third-party rights.
- Attempt to bypass key-edition validation, rate limits or quota checks.
- Resell, share, publish or transfer your gateway key.
- Resell access to a Mode A key that you do not have the right to redistribute.
- Probe, scrape or overload the gateway, or misrepresent the origin of requests.
- Use the directory listings in violation of the upstream repositories' own licences.
We may suspend or revoke a key for violations, abuse, or to comply with law.
8. Intellectual property
Directory entries describe third-party open-source projects; each remains under its own licence and tokencoup claims no ownership over them. tokencoup's own code, documentation and branding are separate. No licence grant is implied by these draft terms.
9. Availability and warranty
TODO, and only stream: false is supported. There is no SLA, no uptime commitment and no warranty of fitness for any purpose.10. Liability, termination and changes
To the extent permitted by law, tokencoup is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, or upstream outages and model output. Either party may stop using the service at any time. Terms will be replaced by a reviewed version before launch; material changes will be announced.
11. Governing law and contact
Governing law, jurisdiction, dispute resolution and the operating entity are undecided. The C2 plan recommends an offshore entity (for example Singapore) for the international business, separated from a mainland-China entity for the domestic edition. See the Cross-border notice.
