Effective date: February 21, 2026 · Last updated: June 5, 2026
By accessing or using CheapTokens.ai (the “Service”), operated by CheapTokens (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will indicate changes by updating the “Last updated” date above.
CheapTokens.ai sells discounted Venice.ai API credits. Same-Day Credits are time-limited Venice.ai API inference keys sold at dynamically discounted prices using a time-decay pricing model. When you make a purchase, we provision a Venice AI INFERENCE API key on your behalf. You then use that key to call Venice's API directly.
We are a reseller, not a proxy. API calls are made directly between you and Venice.ai. We do not intercept, modify, or store your API requests or responses.
Same-Day Credits and their API keys expire at midnight UTC on the purchase date. This expiration is a core feature of the Same-Day pricing model and is not a defect.
Reserve or enterprise reserved-capacity products, if available, are different from Same-Day Credits. They may use stable Venice API keys, prepaid balances, and daily capacity limits. Any Reserve balance or reserved daily capacity is subject to the specific checkout terms displayed at purchase and these Terms.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.
The Service is not available to persons or entities subject to sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or equivalent authorities. You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.
The Service does not require account creation. Purchases are identified by the blockchain wallet address or payment/order metadata used during the payment flow. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys, payment links, and any API keys issued to you.
If the Service creates an embedded wallet on your behalf during the purchase flow, you acknowledge that embedded wallets are provided for convenience only. We make no guarantees regarding the long-term availability of embedded wallet functionality.
Payment method. Agent-native payments are made in USDC on the Base L2 blockchain via the x402 payment protocol. The Service may also offer asynchronous cross-chain stablecoin payment routes through third-party bridge infrastructure such as Rhino.fi. You are responsible for having sufficient stablecoin balance, network gas, and accurate wallet/payment details.
Dynamic pricing. Same-Day Credit prices follow an exponential time-decay curve throughout the UTC day. A small inventory-based adjustment may also apply. The price displayed and accepted by the server at the time of your purchase is the price you pay. We do not guarantee that any particular discount, price, or credit amount will be available at any time.
What you receive. Upon successful confirmed payment, you receive a Venice AI INFERENCE API key with a credit usage limit corresponding to your purchase. Same-Day keys expire at midnight UTC on the purchase date. Reserve or enterprise keys, if available, may be stable keys with daily usage limits and balance debits instead of same-day expiration.
Capacity and availability. Purchases are limited by available daily capacity, payment-system availability, and third-party Venice.ai key provisioning. We may reject or limit purchases if capacity changes, payments fail, or fulfillment is unavailable.
Blockchain finality. Payments are settled on-chain. Confirmed blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. We are not responsible for failed, delayed, duplicate, underpaid, overpaid, or misdirected transactions caused by wallet errors, wrong networks, bridge delays, network congestion, blockchain issues, or third-party payment infrastructure.
Cross-chain payments. If you use a bridge or cross-chain payment route, fulfillment may be delayed until the bridged payment is confirmed and matched. Same-Day Credits still expire at midnight UTC even if you choose a slower route. Use Base USDC via x402 when timing matters.
Currency and tax. All prices are denominated in US dollars and paid in USDC. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or regulatory obligations applicable to your purchase and use of the Service in your jurisdiction.
All sales are final. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the credits (they expire at midnight UTC) and the instant delivery of API keys, we generally do not offer refunds.
We may, at our sole discretion, issue credits or refunds in the following circumstances:
Refunds, if approved, may be issued as replacement credits, a replacement key, or a payment refund where technically and operationally practical. We do not guarantee that a blockchain payment can be reversed.
Unused credits are not refundable. Credits that expire at midnight UTC without being used are forfeited. This is a known and expected aspect of the Service and is reflected in the discounted pricing.
API keys issued through the Service are for your use only and may not be resold, shared, or redistributed. Each key has a credit limit and expiration set at the time of purchase.
You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs using your API key. We are not responsible for charges incurred due to unauthorized use of your key.
You must comply with Venice.ai's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when using your API key. We are not a party to the agreement between you and Venice.ai regarding API usage.
Use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. You agree not to use the Service or any API key obtained through the Service for any unlawful or prohibited purpose.
We reserve the right to revoke API keys and terminate access to the Service without refund if we reasonably believe you are violating these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
