Flixy API Terms & Usage Policy

These Flixy API Terms and Usage Policy (the “API Terms”) apply when you create an API key or call the Flixy API. They complete our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Addendum and AI Transparency Notice. If they conflict, these API Terms prevail for the API.

1. What the Flixy API is for

The Flixy API gives your software access to the features of Flixy Studio: creating, editing and translating websites, writing website content, reading images and documents to turn them into website content, and creating images and logos for websites. You may integrate it into your own products and services, for your own websites or those of your customers.

The Flixy API is not a general-purpose artificial intelligence service. Each endpoint has a defined purpose and fixed instructions set by Flixy, which you cannot change.

2. Prohibited uses

In addition to our Acceptable Use Policy, you must not, and must not allow your users to:

• use the API as a general chatbot or assistant, or to obtain content unrelated to websites (general questions, homework, personal advice, code for software other than websites);
• try to bypass, extract or change Flixy’s instructions, safety systems or limits (for example with “prompt injection”), or split a refused request into several requests;
• resell, sublicense or expose raw access to the API, or offer a service that lets third parties send free-form requests to the underlying AI models;
• use the API or its outputs to build, train or improve a competing AI model or service, or for systematic benchmarking or scraping;
• create illegal, hateful, violent, sexually explicit or deceptive content, content involving minors in a sexual context, malware, phishing pages or websites impersonating a real person, brand or organisation;
• mass-produce websites or content for spam, link schemes, fake reviews or misleading advertising;
• process special categories of personal data or data about children without a valid legal basis and appropriate safeguards;
• share API keys, use another person’s key, or call the API from a web browser or a mobile application where the key would be visible.

Requests that fall outside the purpose of the API or breach this policy are refused automatically and are not charged. Repeated attempts may lead to suspension.

3. Your account and your keys

• The API is managed from the developer console at dev.flixy.studio, with a developer account that is separate from any Flixy Studio account: separate sign-up, sign-in and session. You may use the same email address for both.
• You may link a Flixy Studio organization to your developer account. The link requires the approval of the holder of that Flixy Studio account, given while signed in to Flixy Studio, and either side can remove it at any time. While linked, the API can read and edit the organization’s websites and add websites to it; this work is charged to your API balance and never to the organization’s credits or plan. You must only link organizations you are authorised to act for.
• You are responsible for all activity carried out with your keys. Keep them secret, on your servers only (for example in environment variables or a secrets manager).
• Each key is shown once. Flixy stores only a fingerprint of it and cannot recover it. Delete a key immediately if you think it has been exposed.
• You can limit each key with rights, authorised IP addresses and a daily spending cap, and your account with a monthly spending cap.
• We email you when a key is created. We may revoke a key that appears compromised.

4. Your users

If you make API features available to your own users, you must have terms with them that are at least as protective as these API Terms, and you remain responsible for their use. Where the law requires it, in particular Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, you must tell your users that content was generated by artificial intelligence. You must not remove the machine-readable AI markings that Flixy adds to images.

5. Prepaid balance, prices and billing

• Prepaid balance. The API is paid from a prepaid balance in euros or US dollars, depending on your billing country. Top-ups start at 10 €. VAT is added to the top-up according to your country and an invoice is issued for every top-up.
• Prices. Each successful call is charged at the real cost of the AI work it required, multiplied by Flixy’s margin, with a minimum price per operation. Typical prices are published in the documentation and in your developer space, and the exact price of each call is shown in its response and in your dashboard.
• No charge on failure. A call that fails, is refused or times out is not charged. Before a long job starts, an estimated amount is reserved on your balance and released when the job ends.
• Price changes. We may change prices or margins with at least 30 days’ notice by email. Prices apply at the time of each call.
• Automatic top-up. If you turn it on, you authorise us to charge your saved card the amount you chose each time your available balance falls below your threshold. You can turn it off at any time. If a payment fails, automatic top-up is turned off.
• Validity and refunds. Your balance remains valid for 24 months after your last top-up. Because the balance is used to pay for services you request immediately, top-ups are not refundable, except where the law requires it, if we close the API or your account without fault on your part, or in case of a billing error. In these cases the unused balance is refunded.
• Chargebacks. A payment dispute suspends API access until it is resolved.

6. Limits, availability and changes

The API applies rate limits (requests per minute and per key, simultaneous website jobs per account), which are described in the documentation and returned in the response headers. We aim for high availability, published on our service status page, but the API is provided without a guaranteed service level unless agreed in writing. Version 1 of the API is stable: changes that could break your integration are announced at least 90 days in advance.

7. Content and intellectual property

You keep your rights in the data you send. Subject to our Intellectual Property & Content License, you may use the content generated for you. AI can make mistakes or produce content similar to existing works: you are responsible for reviewing outputs before publishing them and for the rights in the material you provide.

8. Data protection

• When the data you send contains personal data, you act as controller and Flixy as processor under our Data Processing Addendum.
• Request data is kept for 30 days for security, abuse prevention and support, then deleted. Websites created through the API are kept until you delete them. Call logs (date, endpoint, status, duration, price, IP address) are kept for 12 months.
• We use AI providers (currently Anthropic for text and Google for images) under terms that do not allow them to train their models on the data we send.
• We never use your data or your users’ data to train AI models.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate API access, with notice when possible, in case of breach of these API Terms, risk to the security of the platform or of third parties, unpaid amounts or legal obligation. You can stop using the API and delete your keys at any time from your developer space.

10. Liability and contact

The limitations of liability of our Terms of Service apply to the API. For any question about these API Terms, contact legal@flixy.studio.
