Terms of Service

Who provides Kano Proxy

Kano Proxy is a service of Kano-Yufeng, operated by Yu-Feng Huang (黃毓峰) as a sole proprietor. In these terms “we” means the operator and “you” means the person who signs in. You accept these terms by ticking the box after your first sign-in, and again whenever they change.

What the service does

Kano Proxy is an API gateway for developers' AI tools. You sign in with Google, connect AI provider accounts you hold (Claude Code, Codex, Grok or Antigravity) or your own OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint, create API keys, and send requests to the proxy's OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible address. Each request is forwarded to one of your connected accounts, and its metadata is recorded so you can see your usage. The documentation describes each feature.

Your account and API keys

Signing in requires a Google account. Keep your API keys secret: anyone holding one can send requests through your connected accounts, and you are responsible for the requests made with your keys. If a key leaks, revoke it on the Access page.

The provider accounts you connect

To use a subscription account, Kano Proxy signs in and sends requests the way that provider's own command-line tool does. A provider's terms may not allow this, and providers have restricted, suspended or banned accounts used this way. Connect only accounts you hold, and decide for yourself whether to accept that risk.

Requests sent through Kano Proxy are made under each provider's own terms, usage policies and limits, including any rules on account sharing and automated access. If you share an account with your team, you are responsible for that use being allowed. What a provider charges you, and any action it takes on your account, are between you and that provider.

Kano Proxy is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI or Google.

Acceptable use

Do not use Kano Proxy to break the law, to infringe anyone's rights, to attack, overload or probe the service or other systems, or to reach another person's account or data. We may suspend or end access that breaks these terms or puts the service or its users at risk.

Your responsibility for your use

You are responsible for the accounts you connect, the requests you send and how you share access. If someone brings a claim against us because you used Kano Proxy in breach of a provider's terms or of these terms, you agree to cover the loss this causes us, to the extent the law allows.

Plans and payment

Free has no request ceiling at present, and its requests are recorded per UTC calendar month. Paid plans give an allowance of proxy requests per billing period, at the prices shown on the home page and on Upgrade plan.

Each call to a model endpoint (chat, responses, messages, audio transcription or token counting) counts once, however many times the proxy retries it upstream. A call that is rejected, or that fails or is cancelled before any output, does not count. A streamed reply counts once it has produced output, even if it then stops because you cancelled it or the connection dropped. Listing models and using the app do not count.

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until you cancel. Orders go through Kano Pay, our checkout, and are processed by Dodo Payments, which is the Merchant of Record and reseller for all orders. Dodo's buyer terms apply to the payment, and Dodo Payments handles payment details, taxes and invoices.

A plan pays for the proxy only. Usage of your provider accounts is billed by the providers.

Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel at any time with Manage billing on the Usage page. Paid access continues to the end of the period you paid for, and your account then returns to Free. Refunds follow the Refund Policy.

Changes

We may change, add or remove features and plans. We will tell you before a price change to a plan you hold takes effect, and it applies from a later billing period. Changes to these terms are posted on this page with a new date.

Availability and liability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, to the extent permitted by law. Providers' outages, limits and changes are outside our control. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Ending your use

You can stop using Kano Proxy at any time. To have your account and its data deleted, email us. If you do not accept a change to these terms, sign out and email us: we will revoke your API keys and delete your account. The Privacy Notice explains what is deleted and what is kept.
