Terms of Service

Who we are

AI Model Buffet is operated by AI Model Buffet ("we", "us"). Contact: support@aimodelbuffet.com. By using the site you agree to these terms, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Refund Policy.

What the service does

• Model directory: a list of AI models copied once a day from OpenRouter's public model list, with maker, type, listed price and status. It can be out of date or wrong; prices are OpenRouter's listed prices, not a quote from us or from the model maker.
• Model pages: unofficial pages about some models. Every fact links to its source and the date we read it. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenRouter or any model maker, and their names and trademarks belong to them.
• Chat: a signed-in user can chat with the AI models listed as usable on the site, switching models within a conversation, and pays with credits. Answers are generated by AI models run by third-party providers; they can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and are not professional advice. Do not rely on them for medical, legal, financial or safety decisions.

You must be 18 or older

The service is only for people aged 18 or over. Before using the chat you confirm that you are 18 or older.

Your account

You sign in with an email address and password, or with a sign-in provider we offer. Keep your login safe; you are responsible for what happens under your account. One account per person. Tell us at support@aimodelbuffet.com if you think someone else is using it. To close your account and delete your data, email us from the account's address; we complete it within 30 days, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Your questions and the answers

• You are responsible for what you type. Do not enter personal data about yourself or others.
• Your questions are sent to our model provider and the company running the model to produce the answer, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not store the text of your questions or the answers.
• You may use the answers as far as the law and the model providers' terms allow. We do not claim ownership of them, and we make no promise that they are accurate or original.

What is not allowed

The Acceptable Use Policy is part of these terms. In short: nothing sexual involving minors, no explicit sexual content, no impersonation or deception, no help with weapons of mass harm, malware or breaking into accounts, no doxxing, no self-harm methods, and no automated or bulk use. Questions like these are refused before any credits are taken, and the model may also decline to answer.

Credits and payment

• Credits are sold as one-time packs and as monthly or yearly plans, paid in advance through our payment processor. Credits from a pack stay valid for 365 days from purchase. A plan's credits are valid only for the month they belong to (a yearly plan adds them each month) and unused ones expire.
• Plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time under Settings → Subscription; you are not charged again and keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for. There is no proration: to change plans, cancel and subscribe again after the current period ends.
• A chat reply costs credits in proportion to its real token cost (the model's price for what is sent, including the earlier messages sent as context, and for the answer; our service fee included), rounded up, at least 1 credit. At pack prices one credit costs $0.01 (the $5 pack has 500 credits; the $10 and $20 packs add bonus credits), so the cheapest replies cost about $0.01; plans include more credits per dollar. The estimate shown next to each model is for a typical reply. Before a reply the most it can cost is held from your balance; after it the unused part is returned.
• New accounts may receive free credits once after signing in, as stated on the site at that time. They are valid for 7 days and work on every model in the chat like any other credits. The number of new accounts that receive them is limited per IP address and for the whole site each day; an account created over that limit gets no free credits, and the site says so. A single credit-pack top-up is at most $20.
• If a request fails before the model host has processed it, its credits are returned automatically. Once the host has processed it, you pay what it cost (at least 1 credit, never more than the hold), even when the answer is empty, is cut off or times out, or you stop it; the rest of the hold is returned. Each account can have a limited number of replies without any answer text per day.
• Unused credit packs can be refunded within 7 days of purchase, and a renewal charge within 7 days if none of that period's credits were used. Details are in the Refund Policy, which prevails if anything here seems to differ.

Availability and changes

We may change, pause or stop parts of the service, add or remove models from the chat, or change which hosts serve a model, for example when a provider is unavailable. When the chat is closed, no credits are taken. We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version.

Suspension

We may refuse requests, limit use or suspend accounts that break these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, including accounts created to collect free credits.

Liability

The service is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses or for decisions made on the basis of AI-generated answers or directory data, and our total liability for a claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. This does not take away the protection of mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, where that law applies.
