Terms of Service

Effective 2026-08-23 · Draft pending legal review

1. The service

LaneZero is a gateway that forwards your API requests to model providers using credentials you supply ("BYOK"). The service is provided free of charge. We never bill you. You pay your model providers directly under your own agreements with them.

2. Your keys, your accounts

You are responsible for the provider API keys you supply, for the charges providers bill to those keys, and for complying with each provider's terms. You can store keys in our encrypted vault or send them per-request in passthrough mode, in which case we never store them.

3. What we do not do

We do not store the content of your prompts or completions. We do not resell, train on, or inspect your traffic. We record usage metadata only (model, token counts, latency, status) to show you your own usage.

4. Acceptable use

Do not use the service for unlawful activity, to violate a provider's terms, or to attack, overload, or probe the service or others. We may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts that do.

5. Availability and warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We aim for high availability and publish our status at lanezero.betteruptime.com, but a free service carries no SLA.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to one hundred US dollars. We are not liable for provider outages, provider charges, or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

7. Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end the service or your access with reasonable notice where practical.

8. Changes

We may update these terms; material changes will be noted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after a change is acceptance.

9. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of California, USA. Contact: [SUPPORT CONTACT — to be published before public launch].
