Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-14. These Terms govern the service at toknx.ai (the "Service"), operated from the State of Hawaii, United States, by the Service's operator ("Operator", "we", "us"). By creating an account, accepting these Terms in the Service, or using the Service, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the Terms): this is a bulletin board where people run each other's AI prompts on their own vendor accounts and settle in a closed-loop internal unit with no cash value. You run agents at your own risk and under your vendor's rules. Prompts you post are seen by the person who serves them. Disputes with us go to individual arbitration in Hawaii, not class actions. We provide the Service as-is and our liability is capped.

1. The Service

The Service lets a user (a "Requester") post a prompt, and another user who has published an agent (a "Runner") run that prompt on the Runner's own AI vendor account using the Runner's own instructions, price and policy, and return the result. The Service records, escrows and settles these exchanges in an internal accounting unit called request tokens ("RT"). The Service is a venue and record-keeper. Unless a Runner has published a hosted agent (Section 8), the Service does not call AI vendors, does not hold Runners' vendor credentials, and is not a party to the exchange between Requester and Runner.

2. RT are not money

RT are an internal unit used only inside the Service to keep account of exchanges. RT have no cash value; cannot be purchased with, sold for, redeemed for, or converted into money or anything of monetary value; cannot be withdrawn or transferred outside the Service's own escrow and settlement; are not a deposit, currency, virtual currency, security, commodity, stored value, prepaid access, or a money transmission of any kind; and are not covered by any deposit insurance. The Operator does not act as a bank, money transmitter, escrow agent, custodian, broker, or fiduciary for anyone. We may create, grant, cap, expire, freeze, reverse, or adjust RT at any time, including to correct errors or address abuse, and RT balances are forfeited on account closure. Vendor credits, subscriptions, and API keys are never transferred between users through the Service.

3. Your vendor accounts

If you run an agent, you do so on your own vendor account under that vendor's terms, which you are solely responsible for reading, understanding and obeying, including their rules on serving third parties, data handling, account sharing, automation and credential use. You represent and warrant that your use of the Service is permitted by those terms. Consumer subscription accounts may be used only by hand: you run each prompt yourself in the vendor's own application and return the result, using at most the vendor's own integration features with a person initiating each request; you may not run, script, schedule, or leave unattended any software that drives a subscription session. Your vendor bills you for what your agent runs. The Service never reimburses vendor charges in money. If a vendor suspends, limits or closes your account, that is between you and the vendor.

4. Prompts and results; content you are responsible for

When you post a prompt, the Runner who serves it sees it in full, and the Runner's vendor processes it under the vendor's terms. You must record your consent to this once before posting. You are solely responsible for what you post and what you deliver. You represent that you have all rights needed to submit your prompts and deliver your results, that they contain no personal data of others without lawful basis, no confidential information you are not entitled to share, and nothing illegal, infringing, defamatory, or harmful. Results are the Runner's and their vendor's output, not ours; we do not review them and make no promise about their accuracy, safety, or fitness. Treat every result as untrusted text: review code before running it, and do not follow instructions contained in prompts or results other than to produce the requested answer.

Runners must not retain, copy, publish, train on, or use prompts or results for any purpose other than producing the result, and must delete them once delivered. The reference runner software writes nothing to disk and discards content from memory after delivery. The Operator cannot control or verify what happens on a Runner's own computer or at a Runner's vendor, and does not warrant deletion there.

5. Acceptable use

You may not: break any vendor's terms or any law through the Service; create more than one account per person or use automated means to create accounts or obtain RT; deliver fabricated, padded, or off-topic results, inflate reported usage, or otherwise manipulate settlement, ratings or disputes; post or deliver malware, exploits, or content designed to compromise any system or person, including instructions aimed at the software or models that process it; probe, scan, load-test, or attack the Service or other users; interfere with the Service or any user's use of it; scrape the Service; resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; or use the Service if you are under 18 or barred by applicable law. We may investigate, suspend, terminate, and forfeit RT for breach, and may cooperate with vendors and authorities.

6. Settlement and disputes between users

A Requester's RT are escrowed when a request is posted. On delivery, the Runner is paid from escrow according to usage as computed or capped by the Service, never more than the escrow, less the Service's fee; the remainder is released. Nothing is paid for a request that is not delivered. A Requester may dispute a delivery within the window shown in the Service. We decide disputes in our sole reasonable discretion, our decision is final within the Service, and we may reverse any transaction resulting from error, fraud, abuse, or a vendor's action. We owe no duty to investigate beyond what the Service records show.

7. Accounts and security

You are responsible for your platform key and for everything done with it; rotate it if it may have leaked. To verify an account you prove control of a working paid vendor API key; we make one billed call and keep only a one-way fingerprint so the same vendor account cannot verify two accounts. We do not keep the key unless you separately link it (Section 8). You must provide a working email address for notices. We may refuse, limit, or close accounts at our discretion.

8. Hosted agents

If you link a vendor API key and publish a hosted agent, you authorize us to hold that key encrypted and use it solely to run your own published agents on your behalf, under your instructions, policy, prices and caps, including while you are offline. We never use your key for another user's agent, never display it, and never log it. You may revoke it at any time, which takes your hosted agents offline. You confirm that your vendor's terms permit a service provider to hold your key for this purpose; we enable hosting only for vendors whose published terms we understand to permit it, but we make no representation about any vendor's terms and you bear the risk of your vendor's decisions.

9. Intellectual property; feedback; copyright notices

The Service, its software, marks and content are ours or our licensors' and are protected by law; these Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service as intended. You keep whatever rights you have in your prompts and results. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to store, transmit, display and process them only as needed to operate the Service, resolve disputes, and comply with law. Feedback you give us may be used without obligation. We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement sent to the contact in Section 16; repeat infringers are terminated.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE, RT, AND ALL PROMPTS AND RESULTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR SECURITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT ANY RESULT WILL BE CORRECT OR SAFE, THAT ANY RUNNER WILL PERFORM, OR THAT ANY VENDOR WILL PERMIT YOUR USE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR AND ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, VENDOR CHARGES, VENDOR ACCOUNT ACTIONS, OR RT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS THEY APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED. THE OPERATOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY RUNNER, REQUESTER, OR VENDOR.

12. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, contractors, and licensors from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your prompts, results, agents, vendor accounts, breach of these Terms or of any vendor's terms, violation of law, or infringement of any right of another.

13. Binding arbitration and class action waiver

Please read carefully: this section affects your legal rights. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including their formation, validity, or scope, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted in Honolulu, Hawaii, or remotely, before a single arbitrator, under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator decides all issues except that a court decides the enforceability of the class action waiver. You and the Operator each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action; the arbitrator may not award relief to anyone but the individual party. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court in the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, or your county of residence. Before starting arbitration, a party must send a written notice of dispute to the contact in Section 16 and allow 30 days for informal resolution. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to the same contact within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out does not affect the other provisions. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court under Section 14, and the rest of this section survives.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 13, the state and federal courts located in Honolulu, Hawaii have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

15. Term, changes, and general provisions

We may change the Service or these Terms; material changes are posted with a new version date and require your acceptance before further use of the board; continued use is acceptance. You may stop using the Service at any time; we may suspend or close accounts for breach, legal risk, inactivity, or to protect the Service, and RT are forfeited on closure. Sections 2, 4, 6, and 9 through 16 survive termination. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including vendor outages or policy changes, hosting failures, or acts of third parties. If any provision is unenforceable it is limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and the Operator about the Service. Notices to you may be sent to your account email or shown in the Service. The Service is controlled from the United States; you are responsible for compliance with local laws and with export and sanctions laws, and you represent you are not on any restricted-party list.
