Terms

DemonRoute is a prepaid API. You fund a balance, you spend it. NFT Demon Holdings LLC operates the service. Last updated 13 September 2026.

Free models

Designated free models after any confirmed deposit are advertised as up to 50 requests per day. The live cap is the FREE_DAILY_CAP value on this host. Email verification is not required. Username + password is enough. The complimentary lane unlocks when a deposit confirms.

To maintain stability, free models can be reduced to 10 requests per day during use surges. They cannot be reduced further than that. The cap may also be raised above 50 if the complimentary lane stays cheap. When the live cap is below 50, the console shows: due to unexpectedly high use, the free-tier limit has been lowered temporarily to that number.

Models we get at $0 from Groq, NVIDIA NIM, Cerebras, or Z.ai are never billed. If you hit the daily cap on those, the request dies — we do not start a tab. Complimentary models are free up to the daily cap after a deposit. After that cap they are billed at 50% above our cost if the model is an overage slug. Truly-free models are never billed.

Prepaid, not a tab

Paid models require a positive balance. When the balance hits zero, the request dies. Deposits are quota, not a bank account. Crypto refunds are at our discretion and never owed. Card refunds follow the card network and our processor.

Keys

Keys are yours to revoke. Sharing a key is sharing the balance. Selling a key is your problem, not a supported feature. We may terminate a key for AUP violations without warning.

Anonymous door

The anonymous door has its own contract: no recovery, no cards, crypto only. Deposit any amount to unlock the complimentary lane. Read the anonymous terms.
