LiteTranslate Terms of Service

Note: These terms form the agreement between you and Xiamen Jingdu Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("the Company") regarding the use of LiteTranslate ("the Service"). Please pay special attention to the bold clauses.

This page is a courtesy translation. The Chinese original on translate.litelake.cn is the authoritative version.

1. Nature and Beta status

1. The Service is a Lite Lake experiment (Beta) providing a free Chinese ↔ English translation API and web Playground for developers and AI agents.
2. During Beta the Service is provided "as is": translation quality is bounded by the underlying small local model and may be inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise not as expected; availability is not warranted.
3. Limits (call counts, character caps, burst windows) are as displayed in real time on the Pricing & Limits page. Beta is free — no fees and no paid tiers.

2. Accounts and security

1. Full use of the Service requires a Lite Lake account (UC). Keep your credentials safe.
2. Your API key is the sole credential for the data-plane API: the plaintext is shown exactly once at creation — save it immediately. Any call made with your key is attributed to you.
3. You may revoke keys from the Account page at any time; revocation is immediate. If a key leaks, revoke and re-issue it at once.

3. Acceptable use

By using the Service you agree not to:

1. use it for any purpose prohibited by law, or to translate content that infringes others' rights;
2. inflate usage, resell access, stress-test maliciously or otherwise disrupt service stability;
3. use the Service as a general-purpose text generation endpoint (it only provides Chinese ↔ English translation);
4. bypass or attempt to bypass quotas, rate limiting or abuse protections (including mass account creation or rotating IPs to evade anonymous limits);
5. request super keys for excess needs (super keys are issued only to Lite Lake internal integrations).

Violations may result in rate limiting, key revocation or account bans at the Company's discretion, with all legal remedies reserved.

4. Intellectual property

1. You retain your original rights in submitted content; you grant the Company only the transient processing license needed to perform the translation.
2. The Service's software, interface, documentation and brand elements belong to the Company. "轻湖", "LiteTranslate" and related marks are marks of the Company or its affiliates.

5. Limitation of liability

1. The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy).
2. Translations are for reference only and should not be the sole basis for professional decisions (medical, legal, financial, etc.); any consequence of relying on a translation is yours alone.
3. The Company is not liable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, for interruptions or data loss caused by force majeure, upstream failures or maintenance.
4. In no event shall the Company's total liability exceed the amount you actually paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim (zero during Beta).

6. Changes and termination

1. The Company may update these terms as the product evolves; material changes will be announced on this page.
2. You may stop using the Service at any time; account deletion requests can be made via Contact.
3. These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China.
