Terms of Service
Effective date: 3 May 2026 · Last updated: 3 May 2026
These Terms govern your use of Inferly. By creating an account, ticking the "I agree" box at sign-up, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
Status of the Service. Inferly is currently an early-stage prototype operated as a side project. It is not a commercial product, no payments are being collected at this time, and the Service may be changed, paused, or discontinued at any time without notice. Please keep that in mind when deciding what to use it for.

1. The parties
"Inferly", "we", "us", and "our" mean the individual operator of the Service, based in the United States. Inferly is run as a sole-operator side project, not by a registered company. The contact address for all matters relating to these Terms is contact@getinferly.com. The operator's full legal name and postal address are available on request to that email.
"You" means the individual or legal entity that has accepted these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" then refers to that organisation.
2. The Service
Inferly is a hosted gateway that lets you send requests to large language models ("LLMs") through a single API endpoint and a single subscription, in exchange for a flat monthly fee. We route your requests to one or more upstream model providers (currently OpenRouter; we may add or change providers from time to time). We do not develop, train, or own the underlying models.
The Service is provided to you over the public internet on a best-effort basis. We do not commit to a specific uptime, latency, model selection, or model version unless we expressly say so in writing for your account.
3. Your account
To use the Service you must register an account, verify your email, and keep the information you provide accurate. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account or through your API keys, including any usage, costs, and content. Don't share your API keys; if you suspect they're compromised, revoke them in the dashboard immediately.
You must be at least 16 years old (or 13 in the United States) and legally able to enter into this agreement. The Service is not directed at children. We may refuse to create, or terminate, any account at our sole discretion, including for non-payment, misuse, or sanctions/export-control reasons.
You may not create accounts by automated means, create multiple free accounts to circumvent limits, or register on behalf of someone else without their authority.
4. Plans, billing, and fair use
We offer paid plans (currently "Unlimited" and "Pro") and a free plan ("Starter"). Current prices, included features, and any caps are shown on our pricing page and supersede any older description. Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through Stripe; by subscribing you authorise us (via Stripe) to charge your payment method on each renewal date until you cancel. All fees are in US dollars and exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any sales tax, VAT, or other taxes other than taxes on our income.
Plans marketed as "unlimited" are intended for a single human user's normal interactive use of the Service through tools such as OpenClaw. They are not intended for, and we may rate-limit, throttle, suspend, downgrade model access for, or terminate accounts that engage in:
- automated traffic, scraping, batch generation, or programmatic load that materially exceeds typical interactive use;
- resale, sublicensing, or proxying of the Service to third parties;
- sharing a single account or API key across multiple humans;
- training, fine-tuning, evaluating, benchmarking, or distilling competing models from our outputs;
- use that imposes disproportionate cost on us relative to the subscription fee.
We may publish, but are not obligated to publish, specific numeric guardrails. Where we enforce a guardrail we will, where reasonably possible, contact you first to discuss appropriate use.
We may change prices, plan structures, included features, or model availability at any time. For paid subscribers, material price increases take effect on the renewal date at least 30 days after we notify you (by email or in-app notice); your continued use after that date is acceptance of the new price.
5. Cancellation, refunds, and term
These Terms apply for as long as you have an account. You may cancel a paid subscription at any time from the dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep access until then. We do not pro-rate or refund partial periods.
EU/UK consumers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the moment a subscription is purchased. By starting to use the Service during that period (for example, by sending an API request), you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the Service has been fully performed, in line with applicable consumer law.
We may offer refunds or credits at our discretion, for example following a documented service failure caused by us. Beyond that, all fees are final and non-refundable.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service, and not to allow anyone using your account or keys to use it, to:
- break the law in any jurisdiction that applies to you or to us, or violate the rights of others, including intellectual-property, privacy, and publicity rights;
- generate, request, store, or distribute content that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, sexually explicit involving minors, or that incites violence, terrorism, or self-harm;
- generate content intended to mislead about its origin (deepfakes of real people without consent, impersonation, election disinformation, fake reviews) or to harass, dox, or threaten individuals;
- generate or facilitate malware, ransomware, phishing, credential-stuffing, intrusion tools, or weapons (including chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear);
- provide regulated professional advice (medical, legal, financial, psychological) to end users without appropriate human oversight and disclaimers;
- circumvent, interfere with, or stress-test our or our providers' security, rate limits, billing, or abuse-detection systems;
- attempt to extract or reverse-engineer underlying model weights, system prompts, or other internal infrastructure, or to identify which upstream provider served any given request;
- use the Service in any application where its failure could reasonably be expected to cause death, serious bodily injury, or severe environmental or property damage (including life-support, autonomous vehicles, critical infrastructure, or safety-critical industrial control).
You must also comply with the acceptable-use and content policies of the upstream model providers we route to (including, currently, OpenRouter and the model owners it represents). Violations of those policies may result in upstream blocking that we cannot reverse.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor for, investigate, and act on suspected violations. Reports of abuse: contact@getinferly.com.
7. Your content, outputs, and third-party models
7.1 Your inputs
"Inputs" are the prompts, messages, files, tool definitions, and other data you send to the Service. You retain all rights you have in your Inputs. You grant us, and the upstream model providers we route to, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, transmit, and use your Inputs solely as necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service for you and to comply with law.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights and consents needed to send the Inputs to us and to have them processed by upstream providers, and that doing so does not breach any law, contract, or third-party rights.
7.2 Outputs
"Outputs" are the responses returned by the models we route to. As between you and us, you own the Outputs to the extent the underlying provider's terms allow it. Outputs are not unique to you: similar prompts may produce similar or identical outputs for other users, and we make no warranty of originality, non-infringement, accuracy, or fitness for any purpose. You are solely responsible for evaluating Outputs before relying on them and for any consequences of doing so.
Some models or features (for example "premium" or experimental models) may carry stricter terms imposed by their owners — for example restrictions on commercial use, on training other models, or on redistribution. Where we are aware of such restrictions we will surface them; you are responsible for complying with them once disclosed.
7.3 Third-party services
The Service depends on third-party services (currently including Stripe for billing, OpenRouter for model access, Resend for email delivery, and Netlify for hosting). Your use of the Service is also subject to those providers' terms when relevant, and we are not responsible for outages, content moderation, billing decisions, or data handling by those providers beyond what we directly control.
8. Intellectual property
We and our licensors own all rights in the Service itself: the website, dashboards, gateway code, brand, documentation, and any analytics, logs, or aggregate statistics we generate from operating the Service. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you. You may not copy, modify, host, resell, or create derivative works of the Service, except to the extent these restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.
If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use them without obligation to you.
DMCA / copyright complaints. If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to contact@getinferly.com with the subject line "DMCA notice". Repeated infringers will have their accounts terminated. Sending materially false notices is a federal offence in the United States.
9. Changes to the Service or these Terms
We are an early-stage product and the Service will evolve. We may add, remove, or change features, models, providers, and pricing at any time. We may also amend these Terms; if a change is material we will post the new Terms here and notify you by email or in-app notice. Material changes affecting paid subscribers take effect no earlier than 30 days after notice. Your continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you don't accept, your remedy is to stop using the Service and cancel.
10. Warranty disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults, and without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.
Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:
- the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- any specific model, provider, latency, or feature will remain available;
- Outputs will be accurate, complete, current, safe, lawful, or non-infringing in your jurisdiction or use case;
- the Service is suitable for any high-risk, regulated, or safety-critical use.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Inferly, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any:
- indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
- loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, or opportunity;
- loss, corruption, or inaccuracy of data, Inputs, or Outputs;
- cost of substitute services;
- damages arising out of any third-party model output, including hallucinations, factual errors, biased content, or content that infringes third-party rights;
in each case whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you actually paid us for the Service in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) US$100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including (where applicable) liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or — for consumers in the EU/UK — your statutory rights.
12. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Inferly and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
- your Inputs or Outputs, or your use of any Outputs;
- your breach of these Terms or any acceptable-use, third-party, or upstream-provider policy referenced in them;
- your violation of any applicable law or any third-party right; or
- your products or services that incorporate or rely on the Service.
We will give you prompt notice of any such claim, allow you to control the defence (so long as you do so diligently and don't settle in a way that admits liability or imposes obligations on us without our consent), and reasonably cooperate at your expense.
13. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, the acceptable-use policy, or applicable law; if your account is delinquent; if a third-party provider requires us to; or if continuing to provide the Service to you exposes us to material legal, security, or operational risk. Where suspension is appropriate instead of termination, we will use that option where reasonable.
On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately, your API keys stop working, and we may delete data associated with your account in line with our Privacy Policy and any backup retention windows. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 7 (Inputs/Outputs licences), 8 (IP), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Liability), 12 (Indemnity), 13 (this section), 14 (Disputes), and 15 (Miscellaneous) — survive.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the laws of the State of [YOUR US STATE OF RESIDENCE] and the federal laws of the United States applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
The state and federal courts located in [YOUR US COUNTY AND STATE] have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute, except that we may bring proceedings against you in any jurisdiction where you reside or do business in order to protect our intellectual property.
Class-action waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and we each agree that any claim will be brought in an individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and not in any combined action with anyone else. This paragraph does not apply where it is unenforceable, including for consumers in jurisdictions that do not permit such waivers (for example, most of the EU and the UK).
Time limit. You must bring any claim within one year of the events giving rise to it, unless applicable law mandates a longer minimum period.
Consumers in the EU/UK. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory rules of the law of the country where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in that country's courts. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
15. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any plan-specific page on our website, are the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings on the subject.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil disorder, labour disputes, internet or upstream-provider failures, or government action.
No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, employment, or joint venture.
Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service from, a country subject to comprehensive trade sanctions, and that you are not a person on any restricted-party list. You will comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
Notices. We may give notices by email to the address on your account or by posting on the website. You give notice to us at the contact addresses below.
Language. These Terms are in English. Any translation we provide is for convenience only; if there is a conflict, the English version prevails.
16. Contact
All questions, abuse reports, copyright complaints, and other notices should be sent to contact@getinferly.com. Please use a clear subject line ("DMCA notice", "Abuse report", "Privacy request", etc.) so we can route your message correctly. The operator's full legal name and postal address are available on request to that email.
