To use the Service, you must create a developer account. During registration, you are required to provide accurate and complete information (e.g. business name, contact email, company information).

3.2 API Keys

After account creation, you will be issued API keys. These keys grant access to the Service and may be linked to plans, rate limits or billing configurations.

You are responsible for keeping your API keys and credentials confidential and secure. Any usage under your API key is your responsibility. If you suspect that your keys have been compromised, you must notify us immediately and rotate your keys.

3.3 Eligibility

The Service is intended for business use and for developers or companies that are at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, and comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.

3.4 One Account per Entity

Generally, you should maintain only one account per legal entity or business project, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing rate limits, quotas or other restrictions are not allowed.

4. Pricing, Plans and Billing

4.1 Free Tier

We offer a Free Tier which may include limited usage of certain endpoints (e.g. 100 processed images per month on the queue endpoint). Other endpoints (e.g. /api/face/selfie, /api/face/count) may be available without monthly limits during the Free Tier. Exact quotas and limits are published in the documentation and may be changed at our discretion with reasonable notice.

4.2 Pay-as-you-go Plan

Our Pay-as-you-go plan allows for higher usage and is billed monthly. Current pricing is typically:

The detailed pricing structure and included quotas are published on our website, in your customer portal and on your invoice. We reserve the right to adjust prices with 30 days' notice. If you do not wish to accept a price increase, you may downgrade to a Free Tier (if available) or terminate your account.

4.3 Custom Plans

For large-scale usage or special requirements (e.g. enterprise support, service-level agreements, custom quotas), we may offer custom pricing and contract terms. These are agreed individually.

4.4 Payment Terms

Charges are billed monthly in arrears for actual usage (unless otherwise agreed in a custom plan or quote). Payment is processed via a third-party payment provider (e.g. Stripe). We may store limited billing details; full payment details are handled by the payment provider in accordance with their terms and privacy policy.

Invoices are due upon receipt. If payment is overdue, we reserve the right to suspend or restrict your access to the Service until payment is received.

All prices are stated exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes, which will be added where legally required.
