AI inference API

Terms of Service

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Plain English summary

  • Lucidmaze provides OpenAI-compatible access to open-weight model inference, not output guarantees.
  • Users are responsible for securing API keys, validating outputs, and complying with EU and Portuguese law.
  • We may throttle, suspend, or terminate usage that harms the service, abuses rate limits, or violates safety rules.
  • Billing is token-based, with pricing published at lucidmaze.co/pricing and 14 days notice for material pricing changes.

1. Service description

Lucidmaze provides access to open-weight AI language model inference via an OpenAI-compatible REST API. Our infrastructure is operated by a small, technically focused team using a self-hosted vLLM and LiteLLM stack on dedicated hardware in Portugal.

We do not provide any guarantees of output accuracy, fitness for a specific purpose, or freedom from hallucinations. Users are responsible for validating model outputs before acting on them.

2. Acceptable use

Users must not use the API to:

  • Generate content that is illegal under EU or Portuguese law.
  • Attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, or reproduce model weights.
  • Conduct denial-of-service attacks or deliberately abuse rate limits.
  • Generate content that violates third-party intellectual property rights.
  • Circumvent safety measures or attempt prompt injection attacks against our infrastructure.
  • Resell API access without prior written agreement.

3. API keys and account security

  • Users are fully responsible for the security of their API keys.
  • Keys must not be shared, committed to public repositories, or embedded in client-side code.
  • We will suspend keys that show signs of compromise or abuse without prior notice.
  • Lost or compromised keys should be reported immediately; we will revoke and reissue them.

4. Service availability

We operate on a best-effort basis. We do not offer a guaranteed SLA for individual users. We will make reasonable efforts to maintain availability and will communicate planned maintenance in advance. We are not liable for losses resulting from service interruptions.

5. Rate limits and fair use

We enforce per-key rate limits and context window limits. Users who consistently exceed fair use thresholds or whose usage degrades service for other users may be throttled or suspended.

6. Billing

Usage is billed based on tokens consumed, including both input and output tokens. Prices are published at lucidmaze.co/pricing. We reserve the right to adjust pricing with 14 days written notice. Prepaid credits are non-refundable except where required by EU consumer law.

7. Prohibited content

We operate under EU law. Content that is illegal in the EU, content involving minors in sexual contexts, and content designed to facilitate real-world violence is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination and reporting to relevant authorities.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Portuguese and EU law, Lucidmaze's liability is limited to the amount paid by the user in the 30 days preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Portugal. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Portugal.

10. Changes to terms

We will provide 14 days notice of material changes via email. Continued use of the API after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
