Terms of service

1. Who may use Larsa

Larsa (“we”, “us”, the “platform”) is an API service operated by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], a company organized under the laws of [JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION] (“Larsa”, the “operator”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Larsa API, the console at this domain, and every model, tool and service reachable through them (together, the “Service”).

You may use the Service if you are at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and capable of forming a binding contract. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” in these Terms refers to that organization.

You are responsible for every use of the Service made through your account, whether by you, by someone you have added to your organization, or by anyone using a key issued under your account.

2. Accounts and API keys

You need an account to use the Service beyond the public documentation and status pages. You agree to provide accurate information when you create it and to keep that information current.

API keys authenticate requests to the Service and are the equivalent of a password. A key is issued to you, not to whoever holds it; anyone with a valid key can spend against your account and read or write anything that key is scoped to. Store keys the way you would store a credential with billing access: not in client-side code, not in a public repository, not in a support ticket.

If you believe a key has been exposed, revoke it from the console immediately and issue a new one. We cannot reverse usage that has already been billed under a compromised key, though we will work with you on suspicious activity you report promptly.

We may require additional verification before raising your spend limits or enabling higher-risk capabilities, and we may decline to open an account or to raise a limit at our discretion.

3. Acceptable use

You will not use the Service, and will not permit anyone else to use the Service, to:

• Attempt to extract a model's weights, architecture, or training data, including by systematic probing, distilling a competing model from our outputs without authorization, or any technique aimed at reconstructing what a model was trained on rather than using what it produces.
• Send automated, high-volume traffic designed to circumvent rate limits, probe for undocumented behavior, or degrade the Service for other customers, including credential stuffing, scraping the console, or load intended to disrupt rather than to use the API.
• Generate, upload, or request content that is illegal where you or your end users are located, including content that infringes intellectual property, defames a person, facilitates fraud, or sexualizes minors in any way.
• Present output from Larsa's legal-domain models — including the Iranian-law and Spanish/EU-law retrieval and reasoning tools — as advice from a licensed attorney, or otherwise represent machine output as coming from a qualified legal professional. These tools retrieve and reason over legal texts; they do not hold a license to practice law, and output shown to end users must be presented as informational, not as legal advice, unless a licensed professional has reviewed it.
• Build a system whose primary purpose is to replicate the Service itself for resale, or circumvent per-token or per-unit pricing by proxying another customer's traffic through your keys.
• Interfere with or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the infrastructure the Service runs on, including other customers' Knowledge Bases, other customers' data, or the gateway's own administrative surfaces.

We may investigate a suspected violation and may suspend access while we do, as described in Section 6.

4. Rate limits and capacity

Every account has rate limits — requests per minute, concurrent streams, tokens per minute — set by plan and adjustable on request. Limits exist because the Service runs on a fixed pool of our own GPU hardware rather than a third-party cloud with elastic capacity; a burst on one account is capacity another account cannot use.

We may throttle or queue requests that exceed your limit rather than fail them outright, may adjust limits with notice through the console or by email, and may impose temporary limits platform-wide during a capacity event, service incident, or upstream outage.

5. Fees, billing, and the spend cap

The Service is billed pay-as-you-go. Usage — tokens processed, minutes of audio, pages converted, requests made — is metered continuously and priced at the rate published on the pricing page in effect at the time of the request. Every amount in your account and on your invoices is tracked as an integer minor unit of the billing currency (for example, cents of a US dollar) so that millions of small charges do not accumulate the rounding drift floating-point currency math produces.

You may set a spend cap on your account. Once metered usage would exceed the cap, we stop accepting further billable requests from your keys until you raise the cap or the next billing period begins; the cap protects you from a runaway integration, not from within-cap usage you did not expect. You are responsible for setting a cap appropriate to your usage.

Fees are exclusive of tax unless stated otherwise; you are responsible for any tax, other than one on our net income, that applies to your use of the Service. Balances do not accrue interest and, except where a chargeback or billing error is at fault, are non-refundable.

If a payment fails, we may suspend billable access until it is resolved. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by email and through the console before doing so.

6. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, for a violation of Section 3, for non-payment, for behavior that puts other customers or the platform at risk, or where required by law. Where the risk allows it, we will give notice and a chance to remedy before suspending; where it does not — active abuse, a security compromise, unlawful content in flight — we may suspend first and explain after.

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time from the console. Closing an account does not refund an unused prepaid balance except where required by law or stated otherwise at the time you added it.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — billing for usage already incurred, intellectual property, the warranty disclaimer, the limitation of liability, and governing law — survive termination.

7. Intellectual property in your inputs and outputs

As between you and Larsa, you own the content you submit to the Service (“Inputs”) and, to the extent output is capable of being owned under applicable law, the content the Service returns to you (“Outputs”). We claim no ownership interest in either. You grant us only the rights necessary to process your Inputs and deliver your Outputs, to meter and bill your usage, and to operate, secure and improve the Service as described in the Privacy Policy — not a license to use your Inputs or Outputs to train models, except where you have separately opted in.

Because Outputs are generated by statistical models, similar or identical Inputs from different customers can produce similar or identical Outputs, and no Output is guaranteed to be unique. You are responsible for evaluating an Output's accuracy and suitability, and for a licensed human review anywhere the consequence of being wrong is serious — a legal filing, a medical decision, a financial disclosure.

The Service itself — the API, the models we operate (including any we have fine-tuned), the console, our documentation, and the Larsa name and mark — is our intellectual property or licensed to us, and using the Service does not transfer any of it to you beyond the right to use it under these Terms.

8. Confidentiality

Each party may learn non-public information about the other in the course of this relationship — your usage patterns and configuration, our infrastructure and pricing not yet public. Each party will use the other's confidential information only to perform under these Terms, and will protect it with at least the care it uses for its own confidential information of similar importance, for as long as it remains confidential.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent the law allows, we disclaim every warranty, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from how the Service is used or from trade practice. We do not warrant that Outputs will be accurate, complete, or free of bias, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that a defect will be corrected.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost business, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, even if advised of the possibility.

To the maximum extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to a party's payment obligations, to either party's indemnification obligations, or to a claim that cannot be limited under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify us against a third-party claim arising from your Inputs, your use of the Service in violation of Section 3, or your violation of applicable law, and against any resulting damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. For a material change we will give notice — through the console, by email to your account's contact address, or both — at least [NOTICE PERIOD, e.g. 30 days] before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and close your account before it takes effect.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW — JURISDICTION, e.g. “the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules”], and [DISPUTE FORUM, e.g. “the state and federal courts located in that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms”].

14. Contact and general

Questions about these Terms can be sent to [LEGAL CONTACT EMAIL, e.g. legal@larsa.larsima.com] or to [REGISTERED BUSINESS ADDRESS]. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
