Terms of Service
Effective Date: April 1, 2026 · Last Updated: August 17, 2026
These Terms of Service (these "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Shineon Intelligence LIMITED ("Shineon", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the Shineon platform and related services (the "Service"), available at https://www.shineon.dev. By registering an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Shineon is an AI design and creative production platform and a unified model aggregation platform. The Service allows you to submit prompts, images, and other assets ("Inputs") and receive machine-generated content such as images, layouts, and text ("Outputs"). To fulfill your requests, the Service orchestrates and routes tasks to third-party foundation model providers (see Section 7).
The Service also provides unified, aggregated access to multiple third-party foundation models through a single interface and API (the "API"). You may access aggregated models programmatically using API keys issued to your account, with usage metered in tokens or credits ("Tokens") that are deducted from your account balance at the rates published on the platform for each model.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. Where changes materially affect your rights, we will provide notice through platform announcements or other appropriate means.
2. Eligibility and Accounts
- The Service is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. We do not provide services to children under the age of 14.
- You must provide accurate, complete, and current registration information, and keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and API keys, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at contact@shineon.dev if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
- You may not sell, transfer, lend, or share your account with any third party without our prior written consent.
3. Fees and Payment
- Certain features of the Service are provided for a fee, based on subscription plans, Tokens, or usage (such as models invoked and usage volume) as published on the platform. Applicable prices and billing rules are displayed within the Service.
- Tokens purchased or otherwise credited to your account may be used across the aggregated models at the per-model rates published on the platform. Rates may differ between models and may be updated as upstream provider pricing changes. Tokens have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash except where required by law, and may not be transferred or resold.
- Usage — including Tokens consumed through the API — is metered by our systems, and our billing records will be the basis for charges unless shown to be in error.
- We may adjust prices from time to time. Price changes take effect after notice is given and do not apply retroactively to amounts already paid.
- Except as expressly stated in the Service or required by applicable law, fees and unused Tokens or credits are non-refundable.
- Payments are processed by third-party payment providers. We provide them only the order information necessary to complete transactions.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights;
- Generate, upload, or distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, fraudulent, obscene, or harmful to minors;
- Submit personal information of others without lawful authority, or include sensitive personal information or data restricted from cross-border transfer in your Inputs (see Section 7 of the Privacy Policy);
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, circumvent usage limits or security measures, or access the Service by automated means not authorized by us;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code, models, or non-public components of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
- Resell or provide the Service to third parties as a competing service without our prior written consent.
We may monitor for abuse, apply rate limits, and remove or refuse to process content that violates these Terms.
5. Your Content and Outputs
- Inputs. You retain all rights you hold in your Inputs. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit your Inputs and that they do not violate Section 4.
- License to us. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display your Inputs and Outputs solely as necessary to provide the Service, including forwarding Inputs to the upstream model providers you select.
- Outputs. As between you and Shineon, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own the Outputs generated for you through the Service. Due to the nature of generative AI, Outputs may be similar to content generated for other users, and we cannot guarantee their originality, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.
- Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for reviewing Outputs before use and for your use of them, including compliance with applicable law and third-party rights.
- Training. By default, we do not use your Inputs or Outputs for model training. See Section 5 of the Privacy Policy for details on our opt-in policy.
- Zero data retention at the model layer. Inputs and Outputs are processed in memory only for as long as it takes to complete your request and are not persisted at the model invocation layer, either by us or — under our contracts — by the upstream model providers we route to.
- Storage. Operational data — including account, billing, API key, and usage records, together with any content you choose to save into your account — is stored on servers located in Singapore. See Section 6 of the Privacy Policy.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service — including its software, interfaces, designs, trademarks, and documentation, but excluding your Inputs and Outputs — is owned by Shineon or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, no rights in the Service are granted to you.
7. Third-Party Model Providers and Cross-Border Transfers
- To complete requests you initiate — whether through the platform interface or the API — we forward your Inputs to the upstream service provider of the model you selected or that the Service routed your request to. We contract for zero data retention with these providers, so they process your Inputs only to return a response and do not retain or log them. Beyond that commitment, they operate under their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control.
- When you invoke models operated by providers located outside your jurisdiction, your Inputs will be transmitted to servers abroad for processing, outside the Singapore region where your operational data is stored. By using such models, you acknowledge and consent to this cross-border transfer.
- Third-party model availability, capabilities, and pricing may change without notice, and we are not liable for interruptions or changes attributable to upstream providers.
8. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Service is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Outputs are generated by machine-learning systems and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purposes. Do not rely on Outputs as professional (legal, medical, financial, or other) advice.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SHINEON AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shineon and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your Inputs, your use of the Service or Outputs, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Suspension and Termination
- You may stop using the Service and deactivate your account at any time.
- We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, if you materially breach these Terms, create security or legal risk, or as required by law. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide prior notice.
- Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, and 9 through 14) will survive.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you through platform announcements or other appropriate means before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of them.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Shineon Intelligence LIMITED is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation; failing that, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent courts of that jurisdiction.
15. Miscellaneous
- These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms published within the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Shineon regarding the Service.
- If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
- Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
