1. Acceptance

By recharging your Account, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Agreement and to the Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not add Credits.

Available methods are shown in your dashboard and may change over time.

5. Amount, Pricing, and Promotions

5.1 The recharge amount is the amount you actually pay, in U.S. dollars. Credits are applied to your Balance at the value shown at checkout.

5.2 Usage is charged against your Balance at the rates published at dash.chinaapi.ai/pricing, metered per usage (for example, by token count, request, or generated media).

5.3 Promotional Credits may be subject to conditions and expiry, are not purchased value, and are non-refundable and non-transferable.

6. Balance Usage

6.1 Credits are applied to your Account immediately after a successful payment or code redemption and are then available for use.

6.2 Purchased Credits do not expire and remain usable until consumed, subject to Account closure and to this Agreement.

6.3 Credits are non-transferable, cannot be exchanged or withdrawn for cash, and have no value outside the Service.

6.4 When your Balance reaches zero, requests will be declined until you add more Credits.

7. Invoicing

An invoice or receipt reflecting your actual usage or top-up can be provided on request. Contact solution@chinaapi.ai with your Account email and the transaction reference.

8. Refunds

8.1 Unused, purchased Credits are refundable on request within thirty (30) days of the purchase, less any non-recoverable payment-processing fees.

8.2 Consumed Credits (Credits already spent on usage) and Promotional Credits are non-refundable.

8.3 To request a refund, contact solution@chinaapi.ai (or Telegram https://t.me/chinaapiai) from your registered email with your Account email and the transaction reference. We may request reasonable verification and will review each request.

8.4 Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method, typically within 5-10 business days after approval. Refunds of redemption-code balances are returned by the original purchase channel.

8.5 Refunds may be refused where we reasonably determine that the Account has engaged in fraud, abuse, or a violation of the Terms of Service; in such cases the Balance may be withheld pending review.

9. Chargebacks

If you believe a charge is incorrect, please contact us first. Most issues are resolved quickly. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without contacting us may result in suspension of your Account pending resolution.

The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally through the contacts below. This Agreement is governed by applicable law; definitive governing-law and venue details are provided during enterprise onboarding and available on request.
