Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Image Gen API, an AI image-generation API and customer portal operated by Sikasio ("we", "us"), available at img-gen-api.sikasio.com. By creating an account or using the API you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. The service
Image Gen API generates images from the text prompts you submit and returns the results as temporarily hosted image URLs. The service is provided over an HTTP API authenticated by API keys, with free and paid plans that differ in monthly credits, rate limits, and available options. Image generation is powered by machine-learning models; outputs are probabilistic and may vary between requests for the same prompt.
2. Your account and API keys
You must provide a valid email address and keep your password confidential. Your API key is a secret: you are responsible for all requests made with it, whether or not you authorized them. If you believe a key has been exposed, regenerate it from your dashboard immediately. You may not share, sell, or sublicense keys, or circumvent credits and rate limits (for example by creating multiple free accounts).
3. Acceptable use
- Do not request unlawful content, including content that infringes intellectual-property rights, depicts the abuse of minors, or is intended to defraud, defame, or harass.
- Do not generate images intended to deceive — for example photorealistic depictions of real people presented as authentic, or fabricated documents and evidence.
- Do not attempt to probe, overload, or disrupt the service, or to access data belonging to other customers.
- Do not use the service to build a directly competing resale service without our written consent.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
4. Prompts, generated images, and rights
You retain responsibility for the prompts you submit and for your use of the generated images. Subject to these Terms and applicable law, we claim no ownership over images generated for you, and you may use them commercially. Generated images are stored as hosted result URLs and automatically deleted after 7 days. Do not rely on hosted URLs as permanent storage — download anything you want to keep.
5. Plans, billing, and refunds
Paid plans are billed as subscriptions through our merchant of record, Polar (polar.sh), which handles payment, invoicing, and applicable taxes. Credits reset monthly and unused credits do not roll over. You can cancel at any time; your plan remains active until the end of the paid period. Refunds are handled case by case — contact support@sikasio.com.
6. Availability and changes
The service is provided without an uptime guarantee. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features, models, plans, or the service itself, and we may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced by email or on the site; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
7. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose or the accuracy of generated content. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of images hosted on temporary result URLs.
8. Termination
You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time by contacting support. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or abuse, with notice where practical.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Sikasio is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected.
