Terms of Service

Effective Date:May 5, 2026

Welcome to CodeGateway (codegateway.dev). By using this service, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Service Overview

CodeGateway provides AI model API proxy services, forwarding your API requests to AI model providers (e.g., Anthropic). We charge based on actual usage, denominated in US dollars.

2. Account Registration & Responsibilities

• You must provide truthful and accurate registration information. • You are fully responsible for your account security. Keep your API Keys confidential and do not share them with others. • If you discover unauthorized use, notify us immediately. • You must be at least 16 years old to use this service.

Sanctions and Export Control Eligibility. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: • You are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to a comprehensive U.S. government embargo, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, and the so-called Luhansk People's Republic ("Sanctioned Regions"); • You are not on the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List ("SDN List"), the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Persons List, the EU Consolidated List of Sanctions, or any equivalent list maintained by the United Nations or the United Kingdom; • You are not owned, controlled by, or acting on behalf of any party described above; • You will not use the Service in violation of any applicable export control or sanctions law, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We block requests from Sanctioned Regions at the network edge (HTTP 451) and may terminate accounts that violate this clause; balances forfeited under such termination are non-refundable.

3. Fees & Payment

• This service uses a pre-paid (top-up) model. You must top up before using the service; your balance pays for API call charges. • Billing method: Actual API call token count × markup multiplier. • All prices are displayed in US dollars (USD) and exclude VAT (Value Added Tax). Applicable VAT may be added at checkout depending on your region. • Balance never expires and is non-transferable. Please refer to Section 4 for the refund policy.

VAT Registration Status: WHITEDIT LTD is not currently registered for UK VAT (VAT registration threshold: £90,000 rolling 12-month turnover). If we reach the registration threshold, we will register as required by law and notify users in advance; from that point, prices will be subject to applicable VAT.

Multi-Provider Routing Disclosure. CodeGateway accesses third-party AI models (including, without limitation, Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT) through Cloudflare AI Gateway. In rare cases of upstream provider unavailability or content moderation, your request may be routed to an equivalent model from a different provider; the response header X-Served-By identifies the actual upstream provider used for that request. Pricing displayed at checkout reflects the per-token rate of the model you select; if a different provider is used due to fallback, billing follows that provider's published rate, and is always disclosed transparently in your usage logs.

4. Refund Policy

Two ways to request a refund:

Option 1 — Self-service via Dashboard (recommended, processed instantly) • Sign in at https://dashboard.codegateway.dev/en/overview/refunds • Select the top-up payment, enter the refund amount and confirm • Stripe processes the refund automatically and returns funds to your original payment method • Note: to avoid billing conflicts, you must have made no API calls in the past 5 minutes; each top-up can be refunded only once

Option 2 — Email request (fallback) • If self-service is unavailable, email support@codegateway.dev with your account info and top-up records • We respond to email requests within 5 business days and complete the refund within 30 days

General rules: • You may request a refund of unused balance at any time, with no time limitation. • Token fees for services already consumed are non-refundable (the consumed portion will not be returned). • **Minimum refund threshold: USD 2.00 per refund request**. Below this threshold, you may keep the balance (it never expires) or wait until it accumulates to USD 2.00. This threshold covers payment-processor fees and prevents refund failures. • Refunds are returned to your original payment method, with processing time depending on the payment channel — typically 5–10 business days. • A standalone Refund Policy summary is available at /refund.

5. Acceptable Use

You must not use this service to: • Violate any applicable laws or regulations • Infringe upon others' intellectual property or other rights • Generate, distribute illegal, harmful, or fraudulent content • Conduct cyberattacks, spam, or abusive behavior • Attempt to bypass security restrictions or access others' accounts

Violations may result in account suspension or termination. Where your account is terminated for serious violations of these Terms: • Fees for services already consumed (deducted token fees) are non-refundable; • Any unused balance remains refundable under Section 4 (Refund Policy), subject to our right to deduct reasonable investigation and handling costs.

Sanctions Evasion Prohibition. You must not use the Service to evade U.S., U.K., E.U., or U.N. sanctions, to facilitate access by any party in a Sanctioned Region or on a sanctions list, or to relay, mirror, or otherwise distribute the Service's output to any such party. Attempts to circumvent the geo-block (including but not limited to use of VPN/Tor exits located outside Sanctioned Regions to mask a Sanctioned Region origin) constitute a material breach.

8. Limitation of Liability

9. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

11. Termination

• You may delete your account and stop using the service at any time. • We may suspend or terminate your account if you seriously violate these Terms. • Upon account termination, your API Keys will be immediately deactivated, and any unused balance will be handled per the refund policy.
