1. Service description
RuAPI is an API gateway that provides access to artificial intelligence models from third-party providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek) through a unified, OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible interface. The Service:- Routes API requests to upstream model providers.
- Provides genuine models with no substitution or degradation, at transparent prices.
- Bills usage in USDT (Tether) or USDC at provider rates.
- Does not include or guarantee any specific model availability — upstream providers may add, change, or remove models at any time.
2. Eligibility and account
To use the Service you must:- Be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction).
- Provide accurate registration information.
- Maintain the security of your account credentials and API keys.
- Be solely responsible for all activity under your account.
3. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to:- Generate, distribute, or facilitate child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- Plan, encourage, or assist violent crimes, terrorism, or harm to persons or critical infrastructure.
- Develop or refine biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological weapons.
- Engage in fraud, identity theft, or evasion of sanctions.

4. Payments
- The Service uses prepaid balances. You can fund your balance in USDT (Tether) or USDC through supported networks (TRC20 / BEP20 / Polygon), or by bank card (Visa / Mastercard), processed by Stripe.
- Per-token charges follow transparent rates; discounts may apply on your first top-up and for VIP status.
- Cryptocurrency payments are final once confirmed. Refunds for either payment method are subject to the Refund Policy, including its 7-day window: top-ups are used to prepay capacity with upstream model providers shortly after they are received, and that prepayment cannot be recovered.
- Card payments appear on your statement as RUAPI.AI. If you have a question about a charge, contact us before raising a dispute with your bank — we can usually resolve it faster.
- We are not a licensed money service operator or financial institution. Funds received are treated solely as advance payment for services.
