These terms govern the snowLEX Developer Platform — the prepaid, OpenAI-compatible API for the snowLEX legal model and its developer console. They are written to be read: each section states what we provide, what we expect, and where the limits are.
snowLEX Oy ("snowLEX", "we") provides the snowLEX Developer Platform: programmatic, OpenAI-compatible API access to the snowLEX legal model (snowlex-legal) together with a developer console for API keys, usage and billing (the "Service"). These terms form the agreement between you — the account holder or the organization you represent ("you") — and snowLEX Oy, Helsinki, Finland.
The Service is directed at businesses and professional developers. By creating an account, creating an API key or calling the API you accept these terms. If you accept on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind it.
You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. API keys are shown once at creation and stored by us only in hashed form — you are responsible for storing them securely and for all usage made under your keys, including usage by anyone you share a key with. Organization accounts share a balance; members act on the organization's behalf within their assigned roles.
Notify us without delay if you suspect a key is compromised. We may disable or require rotation of keys that we reasonably believe are compromised or abused.
The Service is prepaid and token-metered. You top up a credit balance and each API request is charged against it at the per-token prices published on the pricing pageat the time of the request. The token counts reported in each response's usage object are the counts you are billed by. Payments are processed by Stripe.
Prepaid credits are not redeemable for cash and are non-refundable, except (a) where a refund is required by mandatory applicable law, or (b) if we permanently discontinue the Service, in which case we will refund your remaining balance. Failed or empty generations are not charged. We may change prices with reasonable advance notice; changes apply to usage after the change takes effect, never retroactively.
You agree not to:
The Service produces AI-generated legal research grounded in cited sources. Output is informational only: it is not legal advice, may be incomplete, outdated or wrong despite citations, and no attorney–client relationship is created by using the Service. You are responsible for verifying output against the cited sources and for obtaining qualified professional review before relying on it.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may perform maintenance, modify features, or impose or adjust technical limits. We will give reasonable advance notice of changes that break the documented API contract, and of discontinuation of the Service. Transient failures are surfaced as retryable errors as described in the API reference.
The Service, including its software, model orchestration and documentation, remains our (or our licensors') property. You retain all rights in the content you submit to the API, and — as between you and us — you own the output generated for you, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Statutes, case law and other official texts referenced in output are public documents of their respective publishers.
Our processing of personal data related to your account, billing and request metadata is described in the Privacy Policy. For personal data contained in the content you submit to the API, we act as your processor under the Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these terms. The current list of sub-processors is published at /legal/subprocessors.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill or data. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is capped at the greater of (a) the amounts you paid for the Service during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred euros (€100).
Nothing in these terms limits liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited under mandatory applicable law.
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access with immediate effect if you materially breach these terms (including the acceptable-use rules), if required by law, or to protect the Service or its users; where practicable we will notify you and give you an opportunity to cure. On termination for your uncured material breach, remaining credits are forfeited except where mandatory law requires otherwise; on discontinuation of the Service by us, section 03 applies and your remaining balance is refunded.
We may update these terms. For material changes we will give at least fourteen (14) days' notice via the console or email before they take effect. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service before the effective date; continued use after it constitutes acceptance.
These terms are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably are settled exclusively by the Helsinki District Court (Helsingin käräjäoikeus) as the court of first instance. Mandatory rights you hold under applicable law remain unaffected.
