Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using CheapGrok, you agree to these Terms of Service and any policies referenced here. If you do not agree, do not use the service. If you use the service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to create an account. You are responsible for all activity under your account, including the security of credentials and API keys.

• Provide accurate account details and keep them updated.
• Use a strong password and do not reuse it across services.
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.

3. API keys and access

API keys are personal to your account. You may create multiple keys for different environments. Do not embed keys in client side apps or public repositories. You are responsible for requests made with your keys.

• Rotate keys regularly and revoke compromised keys.
• Set access controls in your own systems where possible.
• Do not resell or transfer access without written consent.

4. Free credit, pricing, and billing

CheapGrok provides a free credit balance on account creation. Usage is metered based on tokens and model pricing, then discounted by 50% from official xAI rates. When your free credit is fully used, API requests are blocked until additional credit is added.

• Charges accrue based on your usage and selected model.
• Discounts apply automatically to supported model pricing.
• We may update pricing to reflect upstream changes.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use CheapGrok to violate laws, infringe rights, or harm others. You must comply with all applicable regulations and third party policies tied to the upstream models.

• No illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive activity.
• No attempts to bypass security or access other accounts.
• No distribution of malware, exploits, or harmful code.
• No content involving minors or non-consensual sexual content.

6. Service limits and availability

We may apply rate limits, capacity controls, or temporary restrictions to protect service reliability. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Maintenance windows or upstream outages may affect availability.

7. Content, prompts, and outputs

You are responsible for the prompts you submit and the use of outputs you receive. Outputs are generated by upstream models and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. You must review outputs before relying on them.

8. Data handling and privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use data, including usage logs and account details. By using the service you consent to these practices and the processing of data as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Intellectual property

CheapGrok and its trademarks, branding, and software are owned by us or our licensors. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the service according to these terms. You retain rights to your input data, and subject to upstream terms, you may use outputs as permitted.

10. Third party services

CheapGrok proxies requests to upstream model providers, including xAI. Your use of outputs and certain features may be governed by upstream policies. We are not responsible for outages or changes by third parties.

11. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be error free or uninterrupted, or that outputs will be accurate or fit for a particular purpose.

You agree to indemnify and hold CheapGrok harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these terms.

14. Termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you violated these terms or pose a risk to the service or other users. Sections that should survive termination will remain in effect.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will post changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

16. Governing law
