AiPlansIndex Terms of Service

1. Permitted Use & Intellectual Property Rights

AiPlansIndex provides an informational catalog, context window reality metrics, rate-cap trackers, and token breakeven calculators across global artificial intelligence providers. We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use our website for personal, educational, research, and technical procurement planning.

Prohibited Conduct: You agree not to:

• Deploy high-concurrency automated scrapers, harvest bots, or extraction scripts against our services without prior express written authorization.
• Engage in denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, automated fuzzing, rate-limit flooding, or infrastructure disruption against our Cloudflare edge nodes or origins.
• Frame, mirror, repackage, or resell our interactive comparison matrix or proprietary aggregated data feeds for unauthorized commercial syndication.
• Attempt to bypass or circumvent Cloudflare edge firewalls, security challenges, or rate-limiting safeguards.

2. AI Plan Matrix, Rate Cap & Pricing Disclaimers

Foundation model performance and platform policies change rapidly. Real-world user experience varies significantly based on:

• Dynamic Server Load & Cluster Congestion: Providers continuously modify rolling rate caps (e.g. 40 messages every 3 hours), queue priorities, and cooldown periods during peak hours without prior notice.
• Stealth Reasoning Throttling: Reasoning models (e.g. o1, o3-mini, DeepSeek R1) consume dynamic internal thinking tokens. Providers frequently reduce thinking step budgets or fall back to smaller model checkpoints during high GPU demand.
• Conversational Truncation Rules: The advertised context window (e.g. 200k or 2M tokens) differs fundamentally from conversational frontend memory buffers (e.g. 16k–32k tokens), which dynamically drop or summarize older chat turns.

AiPlansIndex does not warrant or guarantee that plan pricing, limits, or model features displayed on the site are error-free or fully up-to-date at the exact moment of your visit. Users must independently verify pricing, context limits, and terms directly on provider checkout pages prior to purchasing.

3. Third-Party Provider Pricing, Tiers & API Terms

AiPlansIndex aggregates publicly available subscription tiers, developer token rates, and documentation from third-party AI companies (including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Cursor/Anysphere, xAI, Microsoft, Mistral, and DeepSeek).

• Non-Exhaustive Catalog: AiPlansIndex does not track every AI model, startup tool, or boutique API provider. Our catalog is curated based on market prominence, developer utility, and significant consumer adoption.
• Independent Aggregator: AiPlansIndex is not an authorized reseller, distributor, partner, or agent of any indexed AI company. All subscriptions, API credit purchases, and enterprise licenses are executed exclusively between you and the third-party provider.
• Terms & Account Governance: Your use of third-party AI services is governed exclusively by the terms of service, privacy policies, and acceptable use policies of the respective provider. We bear no responsibility for provider account bans, API quota revocations, or data breaches occurring on external platforms.

4. Commercial Affiliations & Outbound Referral Links

AiPlansIndex contains outbound links to external subscription pages and developer platforms. In compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255):

Some outbound links may be affiliate tracking URLs. If you click through an affiliate link and complete a subscription, AiPlansIndex may receive a referral commission. These affiliations do not impact our objective evaluation formulas, rate-cap disclosures, or context buffer audits. We do not accept payment to suppress provider limitations or publish biased ratings.
