Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 30, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CheckAPICost (accessible at checkapicost.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the platform.

2. Permitted Developer Use

CheckAPICost grants developers, architects, and technical leaders a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use our web calculators, cost estimators, comparison matrices, and programmatic dataset files (e.g. llms.txt, llms-full.txt) for internal architecture planning, capacity sizing, and commercial cost forecasting.

You may export and share calculations and estimates generated by our tools.
You may consume our public programmatic index endpoints responsibly without disruptive automated scraping.

3. Pricing Accuracy & Disclaimer of Warranties

While CheckAPICost conducts automated telemetry checks and synchronizes with official provider documentation, cloud API pricing is dynamic. Providers frequently modify token rates, introduce regional discounts, alter cache expiration windows, or introduce tiered minimum commitments.

All estimates and comparisons are provided for informational and planning purposes only. CheckAPICost does not guarantee billing outcomes and cannot be held liable for discrepancies between our models and final vendor invoices. Always verify definitive rates directly on provider contracts prior to committing infrastructure.

4. Intellectual Property & Fair Use

The software architecture, layout algorithms, mathematical normalization scripts, and original editorial analyses of CheckAPICost are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. Third-party brand names and trademarks are used strictly under nominative fair use for identification and comparative benchmarking.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall CheckAPICost, its contributors, or maintainers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of the use or inability to use our benchmarking tools, algorithms, or indices.
