Effective Date: 2026-07-18

Welcome to Fyoulink API (the "Service," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service (these "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and the operator of Fyoulink API governing your use of the Service. Before registering for, accessing, or using the Service, please read and fully understand the entirety of these Terms, in particular the provisions concerning disclaimers, limitation of liability, payment and refunds, and service modification and termination.

By registering an account, creating an API Key, initiating an API call, or otherwise using the Service, you are deemed to have read, understood, and agreed to be bound in full by these Terms. If you do not agree to any provision of these Terms, please do not use the Service.


1. Definitions

Unless otherwise indicated by context, the following terms have the meanings set out below:

1.1 "the Service" means the third-party AI large-model API relay and acceleration service provided by Fyoulink API through its official website at https://www.fyoulink.com and its API base URL at https://www.fyoulink.com/v1, including its website, administrative dashboard, interfaces, documentation, and related functionality.

1.2 "Upstream Provider" means the actual provider or rights holder of the AI large language model(s) relayed or accelerated by the Service (for example, Anthropic). No affiliation, authorization, agency, or partnership relationship of any kind exists between the Service and any Upstream Provider.

1.3 "User" means any natural person, legal entity, or other organization that registers for, accesses, or uses the Service.

1.4 "Account" means the credential and record created within the Service, used for identification and service usage, after a User registers with and verifies an email address.

1.5 "API Key" means the key string, prefixed with sk-, generated through the dashboard and used to authenticate and identify the source of API calls.

1.6 "Credit/Balance" means the account funding balance obtained by a User through top-ups, used to offset the cost of API calls.

1.7 "Input/Output Content" means the prompts, data, and instructions sent by a User through the API (Input), and the text or other data returned by the model (Output).

1.8 "Token" means the basic unit used for model billing and context-length measurement, comprising both input and output components.


2. Description of the Service (Independent Third-Party Relay and Aggregated Forwarding)

2.1 Fyoulink API is an independently operated, third-party AI model API relay and aggregated-forwarding service that provides developers with API access to the Claude family of large language models. The function of the Service is to provide unified access, authentication, routing, aggregated forwarding, acceleration, and stability optimization for upstream model interfaces. The Service does not itself train, deploy, own, or control any upstream model; model output is generated by the Upstream Provider, and the Service makes no warranty regarding, and assumes no responsibility for, such output.

2.2 Important Notice: No affiliation, authorization, agency, partnership, or endorsement relationship of any kind exists between Fyoulink and Anthropic, OpenAI, or any other model provider. Names and trademarks such as "Claude" and "Anthropic" belong to their respective rights holders. Any reference to such names in these Terms or in the Service's documentation is solely for identification and descriptive purposes regarding compatibility, and does not indicate any partnership or authorization relationship.

2.3 The Service offers two interface formats for Users to choose from as needed:

  • Native Anthropic format: /v1/messages;
  • OpenAI-compatible format: /v1/chat/completions.

2.4 The Service supports mainstream clients and SDKs, including but not limited to Claude Code, the official Anthropic SDK, the OpenAI SDK, and direct calls via cURL.

2.5 The Service provides the full Claude family of models (for example, claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929, among others); when the appropriate beta request header is supplied, it supports an extended context of up to approximately 1M (one million) Tokens. The Service does not guarantee the continued availability of any particular model, version, or feature: the list of available models and their capabilities may change as a result of adjustments made by Upstream Providers, and the Service reserves the right to add, discontinue, rename, replace, or otherwise adjust the models and features it offers, with the dashboard's actual display controlling.

2.6 The default concurrency limit for the Service is 5; Users may request an adjustment based on their selected plan or by contacting customer support.


3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Registration and Activation: Users must complete registration using true, accurate, and complete email information and must activate their account via an email verification code. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and must promptly update it upon any change.

3.2 Capacity: You represent that you possess the full civil capacity required to enter into and perform these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have obtained full authorization from that organization to do so.

3.3 One Account Per User: Each User may register and hold only one account. An account and its API Key(s) may be used only by you (or the organization you represent); transferring, selling, lending, sharing, or authorizing any third party to use them in any form is prohibited. We reserve the right to suspend or deactivate any account found to be in violation.

3.4 API Key Safekeeping: Your API Key is an important credential for accessing the Service. You must keep your API Key secure and must not disclose, lend, resell, or share it with any unauthorized third party in any manner. All calls and charges made using your account or API Key are deemed to be your own acts, and you are responsible for them accordingly, unless you can demonstrate that they resulted from a fault of the Service. Losses resulting from your failure to safeguard your API Key are borne by you.

3.5 Security Incidents: If you discover that your API Key has been leaked, your account has been compromised, or any unauthorized use has occurred, you must immediately reset your key via the dashboard and notify us. We will provide reasonable assistance, but we are not responsible for losses incurred prior to such notification.

3.6 Account Compliance: You must not obtain accounts or credit through malicious registration, bulk registration, impersonation of another person's identity, or similar means. We reserve the right to verify, restrict, or deactivate any account exhibiting anomalous behavior.


4. Acceptable Use

4.1 You undertake to use the Service in a lawful and compliant manner, and you are responsible for the consequences of all Input Content you submit through the Service and all Output Content generated as a result.

4.2 Compliance with Upstream Policies: When using the Service to access upstream models, you must simultaneously comply with the official usage policies, Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), and related terms of the applicable Upstream Provider (such as Anthropic). Any change to an Upstream Provider's policies applies equally to your use of the Service.

4.3 Prohibited Conduct: You must not use the Service to engage in any of the following, including but not limited to:

  • (a) any act that violates applicable laws, regulations, or regulatory requirements;
  • (b) generating or disseminating content that is unlawful, infringing, violent, terroristic, pornographic, related to gambling or fraud, defamatory, or otherwise seriously contrary to public order and good morals;
  • (c) generating or assisting in the generation of malicious code or cyberattack tools, or engaging in intrusion, sabotage, or unauthorized access to computer systems or data;
  • (d) infringing upon another party's intellectual property rights, trade secrets, privacy rights, reputational rights, or other lawful interests;
  • (e) processing another person's personal information or sensitive data without a lawful basis;
  • (f) attempting to bypass, circumvent, disrupt, or evade the security mechanisms, rate limits, billing systems, or authentication systems of the Service or of any Upstream Provider;
  • (g) making requests to the Service beyond a reasonable scope through automated means, or otherwise jeopardizing the stability or availability of the Service;
  • (h) without our prior written consent, reselling, sub-licensing, or redistributing the Service, presenting the Service as your own proprietary service, or misleadingly implying an official relationship with any Upstream Provider;
  • (i) using model output in high-risk scenarios that could result in significant harm to an individual's person, legal standing, finances, or health, without adequate human review and risk assessment.

4.4 Content Responsibility: The Service does not proactively review, endorse, or guarantee the quality of Input or Output Content relayed through it. Model output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate; you are solely responsible for evaluating, verifying, and bearing the consequences of your use of such output.

4.5 Handling of Violations: For any violation of these Terms or of an Upstream Provider's policies, we reserve the right, without prior notice, to take measures including warnings, rate-limiting, suspension or termination of service, and account deactivation; you bear any resulting losses, and any credit already consumed will not be refunded.


5. Payment, Top-Ups, and Refund Rules

5.1 Prepayment and Source of Funds: The Service operates on a prepaid (top-up before use) basis, at a top-up rate of 1 RMB = 1 USD of credit. You represent that the funds used for top-ups are derived from a lawful and legitimate source, and you must not use unlawful funds or engage in money laundering or other illegal activity; your prepaid account balance represents service-consumption credit only, is not a deposit, and does not bear interest.

5.2 Billing Method: The Service bills based on Token usage (the sum of input Tokens and output Tokens), at a model rate of 1:1, matching the official pricing of the referenced model. Unit prices may differ across models, as reflected in real-time dashboard displays and deduction records.

5.3 Balance and Suspension: Charges for API calls are deducted from your account balance in real time or near-real time. When your account balance is insufficient, the relevant API calls will be suspended until you complete a top-up. You are responsible for monitoring your balance and planning your usage accordingly.

5.4 Refund Rules:

  • (a) Credit that has already been consumed (i.e., for which an actual call and deduction has occurred) is non-refundable;
  • (b) Except where required by mandatory law or otherwise separately committed to in writing by us, unconsumed top-up balances are, in principle, not eligible for refund; should a refund genuinely be required, please contact us at email@fyoulink.com, and we will process the request, following verification, in accordance with the refund policy then in effect;
  • (c) Where service is suspended or terminated due to your violation of these Terms, any remaining credit will not be refunded;
  • (d) Call consumption resulting from upstream fluctuations, network issues, or your own configuration errors, none of which are attributable to the Service, does not constitute grounds for a refund.

5.5 Billing Disputes: If you dispute a deduction record, you should contact us to reconcile it within a reasonable period after discovery (7 business days is recommended). In the absence of evidence to the contrary, our backend metering data will serve as the basis for billing.

5.6 Price Adjustments: We reserve the right to adjust billing rules and per-model unit prices based on upstream pricing, operating costs, and market conditions. Adjustments will take effect upon announcement via the official website or dashboard and will not have retroactive effect on calls that occurred before the announcement.


6. Intellectual Property and Trademarks

6.1 Intellectual Property in the Service: The intellectual property rights in the Service's website, backend systems, interface design, documentation, code, and the "Fyoulink" brand identifiers belong to the Service's operator or the applicable rights holder and are protected by law. Without written permission, you must not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, distribute, or use them for commercial purposes.

6.2 Third-Party Trademarks: Names, logos, and trademarks such as "Claude," "Anthropic," and "OpenAI" belong to their respective rights holders. The Service's use of such names is solely for the purpose of describing compatibility and identification; it does not constitute any claim to those trademarks, nor does it indicate any authorization or affiliation relationship.

6.3 Input and Output Content: Subject to your compliance with these Terms, applicable law, and Upstream Provider policies, you retain your rights in your own Input Content; ownership of, and permissible use of, model Output Content is governed by the relevant terms of the Upstream Provider, which you are responsible for understanding and complying with. You must ensure that you hold lawful rights to your Input Content and that its use does not infringe any third party's rights.

6.4 Feedback: If you provide us with suggestions or feedback regarding the Service, we may use it free of charge to improve the Service, without any obligation to you in connection therewith.


7. Reliance on Third Parties (Upstream Providers)

7.1 The core functionality of the Service depends on the models and interfaces provided by Upstream Providers. The Service's availability, response speed, model capability, context length, rate-limiting policies, and compliance review may be directly affected by the policies, technical status, and availability of Upstream Providers.

7.2 Upstream Changes: An Upstream Provider may adjust, restrict, or discontinue its models or interfaces, or change its pricing, policies, or safety-review rules, without prior notice. Such changes may cause corresponding features of the Service to change, be interrupted, or become unavailable; the Service assumes no liability for this, but will make reasonable efforts to adapt and to provide notice.

7.3 Upstream Review and Refusals: An upstream model may review, rate-limit, or decline to respond to (for example, by returning empty output for) particular requests based on its own safety policies. Such conduct originates with the Upstream Provider and does not constitute a fault or failure of the Service.

7.4 Pass-Through of Compliance Obligations: You understand and agree that an Upstream Provider's usage policies pass through the Service to you; your use of the Service must not cause the Service to breach any agreement between it and any Upstream Provider.


8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

8.1 Provided "AS IS": The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, continuous availability, uninterrupted operation, error-free performance, timeliness, or security.

8.2 Best-Effort Basis, No Formal SLA: Availability of the Service is provided on a best-effort basis and does not constitute any formal Service Level Agreement (SLA). Because the Service depends on upstream and network conditions, it may experience fluctuations, latency, rate-limiting, interruptions, or maintenance.

8.3 Output Disclaimer: Model output is algorithmically generated and may contain errors, omissions, bias, or inappropriate content. The Service makes no warranty of any kind regarding the accuracy, completeness, legality, or suitability of any output. You should not treat output as a substitute for professional advice (such as legal, medical, or financial advice), and you bear sole responsibility for the consequences of any decision made in reliance on such output.

8.4 Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • (a) the Service shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill), whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise;
  • (b) in no event shall the Service's aggregate liability under these Terms and in connection with the Service exceed the total fees actually paid by you for the Service during the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

8.5 Force Majeure: The Service shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from force majeure or events beyond its reasonable control (including but not limited to natural disasters, war, government action, power or network outages, Upstream Provider failures or policy changes, or cyberattacks).

8.6 The foregoing disclaimers and limitations of liability do not apply to any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.


9. Service Changes, Suspension, and Termination

9.1 Service Changes: We reserve the right, at any time, to add, modify, optimize, or discontinue all or part of the Service's functionality, including adjusting available models, interfaces, concurrency limits, and billing rules.

9.3 Termination: You may stop using the Service and request account deactivation at any time. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate these Terms and close your account under any of the following circumstances: (a) you violate these Terms or applicable usage policies; (b) you engage in fraud, malicious attacks, or other unlawful conduct; (c) your conduct harms the lawful interests of the Service, an Upstream Provider, other Users, or any third party; (d) as required by law, regulation, or a competent authority; or (e) your account has had no valid activity for 180 consecutive days (an inactive account).

9.4 Consequences of Termination: Upon termination of these Terms, your right to use the Service ceases immediately; provisions that by their nature are intended to survive (such as those concerning intellectual property, disclaimers and limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive termination. Except as otherwise required by law or separately agreed in these Terms, where termination results from your breach, any remaining credit will not be refunded.


10. Privacy and Data Processing

10.1 Scope of Collection: To provide the Service, we collect and process information necessary for that purpose, including your registered email address, API Key, call logs (such as timestamps, models used, Token usage, and status codes), top-up and deduction records, and technical data necessary to safeguard security (such as IP addresses and request characteristics).

10.2 Purpose of Use: The foregoing information is used for account management, authentication, billing, security protection, troubleshooting, service improvement, and fulfillment of legal obligations.

10.3 Processing of Input and Output Content: In the course of relaying your Input and Output Content, the Service forwards such content to the Upstream Provider. We process such content only to the extent necessary to implement the Service's functionality and for security auditing purposes; you understand that such content will also be subject to the Upstream Provider's data-processing policies. Please do not submit, in your requests, any personal information, sensitive data, or confidential information that you are not authorized to process.

10.4 Data Security: We will take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data security; however, given the inherent risks of the network environment, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10.5 Sharing with Third Parties: Except as necessary to provide the Service (such as forwarding to an Upstream Provider), with your consent, or as required by law, we will not sell or disclose your personal information to unrelated third parties.

10.6 Your Rights: To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may exercise rights to access, correct, or delete your information by contacting us at email@fyoulink.com. More detailed rules regarding the processing of personal information are set out in our Privacy Policy (if any), which shall control.


11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

11.2 Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation between the parties; if negotiation fails, either party may submit the dispute to the People's Court having jurisdiction over the principal place of business of the Service's operator.

11.3 If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect; the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be construed or replaced in a manner that most closely reflects its original intent while remaining lawful and effective.
