Draft — not yet in force. These terms will be reviewed by a lawyer before CAELUM Cloud opens. Items in [brackets] are still to be confirmed.
Last updated: [launch date]
These terms govern your use of CAELUM Cloud (the hosted dashboard, shared cache and related
services at app.caelum-ai.com and api.caelum-ai.com), provided by Issouf KANAZOE
("CAELUM", "we"). [A company will take over these terms once it is registered.]
The open-source CAELUM SDK is a separate product, licensed under the Apache License 2.0. You can use it without CAELUM Cloud and without accepting these terms.
1. The service
CAELUM Cloud adds, to the CAELUM SDK running in your application:
- a dashboard of your AI requests, cache hits, estimated costs and savings;
- a shared cache of AI answers for all your servers;
- cost per end customer and budget alerts.
Your AI calls never go through CAELUM Cloud. Your application calls the AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral...) directly with your own API key, which you never give to us. You remain bound by each provider's own terms and are billed by them directly. CAELUM never resells AI tokens.
The SDK is designed so that CAELUM Cloud is never required for your application to work: if the Cloud is slow, unavailable or your plan has ended, the SDK continues with its local cache.
2. Your account
- You need an account to use CAELUM Cloud. You must give accurate information and keep your sign-in method secure.
- CAELUM API keys (
sk-caelum-...) give access to your account's data: keep them secret, and revoke any key you think has leaked from the dashboard. - You are responsible for everything done with your account and keys.
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a contract, or act for a business that authorises you to accept these terms.
3. Plans and payment
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 million provider tokens per month counted by CAELUM Cloud |
| Starter | $49 (29,500 FCFA) per 30 days | 10 million provider tokens per month, shared cache, all dashboard features |
- Starter is prepaid: each payment gives 30 days of Starter. There is no automatic renewal and no automatic charge. We remind you by email before the end of the period. If you do not renew, your account returns to Free and your application keeps working.
- Payments are processed by our payment provider (GeniusPay) in West African CFA francs (XOF). The amount in dollars is an indication; your bank or mobile money operator may apply its own exchange rate and fees.
- Early renewals add 30 days after the current paid period.
- Refunds: [to be decided, e.g. "a payment can be refunded within 7 days if the paid period has not been used; otherwise payments are non-refundable"].
- Over the monthly token allowance of your plan, the shared cache pauses until the next month; usage statistics are still recorded and your application keeps working.
- We may change prices for future periods. A change never affects a period you have already paid, and we announce it at least [30] days in advance.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use CAELUM Cloud to break the law or the terms of your AI providers;
- store in the shared cache content you are not allowed to process;
- try to access another customer's data, test or bypass our security without written permission, or overload the service on purpose;
- resell CAELUM Cloud itself, or use it to build a competing hosted service, without our written agreement.
We may suspend an account that seriously breaks these rules, after a warning when the situation allows it.
5. Your data
- You keep all rights to your data, including the cached answers and the usage data your application sends.
- You give us only the rights needed to run the service for you: store, process and display that data in your account.
- You are responsible for the content your application sends, including any personal data of your own users. Use internal ids, not names or emails, as customer labels. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data.
6. Availability and support
- We do our best to keep CAELUM Cloud available, but no availability guarantee (SLA) is included in the Free and Starter plans. Maintenance or incidents may happen.
- Support is provided by email at [contact@caelum-ai.com] on a best-effort basis.
7. Liability
- CAELUM Cloud is provided "as is". Cost and savings figures are estimates based on the token counts reported by your application and public prices; your provider's invoice is the reference.
- To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect losses (lost profit, lost data, business interruption), and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the event.
- Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Ending the service
- You can stop using CAELUM Cloud at any time and ask us to delete your account.
- We may close the service or an account with at least [30] days' notice, except in case of serious breach of these terms. If we close the service, we refund the unused part of a paid period.
9. Changes and law
- We may update these terms; we will announce important changes by email at least [30] days in advance. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms.
- These terms are governed by the laws of [country to be confirmed with the lawyer], and disputes go to the courts of [city to be confirmed], unless mandatory consumer law gives you other rights.
