The free tier is provided for evaluation, testing, and non-commercial purposes only. If you are using the free tier, you agree to the following restrictions:

To use APIVerve APIs for commercial purposes or production applications, you must upgrade to a paid subscription plan.

4.9 Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any violation of this AUP, please report it to us immediately via our contact page.

5. Billing and Payment

Our service operates on a credit-based pricing model. By using our services, you agree to:

• Pay all fees associated with your account usage
• Provide accurate billing information
• Update payment methods as needed
• Monitor your credit usage to avoid service interruption

5.1 Credit System

APIVerve uses a credit-based system where various actions consume credits (also referred to as "tokens" or "API calls"). Credit consumption varies by feature:

• API Calls: Each API request consumes credits based on the specific API and complexity of the request
• AI Agent: Interactions with the AI agent consume credits based on usage
• Developer Tools: JSON Bins, Mock Servers, and other VerveKit tools may consume credits based on usage and storage
• Other Features: Additional features may consume credits as specified in the dashboard or documentation

Current credit consumption rates are displayed in your dashboard and on our pricing page. We reserve the right to adjust credit consumption rates with reasonable notice.

5.2 Credit Expiration

Credits do not roll over. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle and do not accumulate or carry over to subsequent periods. This applies to all plans, including free tier and paid subscriptions. Each billing cycle, your credit balance resets to your plan's allocated amount.

5.3 Overage and Additional Credits

If you exhaust your credits before the end of your billing cycle:

• API requests will be rejected until credits are replenished
• You may purchase additional credits or upgrade your plan
• Free tier users must upgrade to a paid plan to continue usage

5.4 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

All paid subscription plans include a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our service, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial purchase. See our Refund Policy for complete terms.

5.5 Pricing Changes

We reserve the right to change our pricing structure, credit allocations, or consumption rates with 30 days' notice. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of new rates. Existing subscriptions will be honored at their current rate until the next renewal.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Rights

APIVerve and its content, features, and functionality are owned by EvlarSoft LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.

6.2 Your Rights

You retain ownership of any content you create using our APIs. However, you grant us a license to use, modify, and display such content for service operation and improvement purposes.

7. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.

• We collect minimal personal information necessary for service operation
• We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data
• We do not sell personal information to third parties
• You have rights regarding your personal data as outlined in our Privacy Policy

7.1 Dashboard Analytics and Tracking Consent

By creating an APIVerve account, you expressly consent to full analytics and tracking within the authenticated dashboard environment. Unlike our public-facing websites where you can manage cookie preferences, the dashboard requires comprehensive tracking for the following operational purposes:

• Service Operation: Feature usage and navigation patterns to ensure functionality
• Performance Monitoring: API request metrics, response times, and error tracking
• Security: Session monitoring, access logging, and fraud detection
• Billing Accuracy: Usage metering to ensure accurate billing and quota enforcement
• Support: Diagnostic information to assist with troubleshooting and customer support
• Product Improvement: Analytics to identify areas for enhancement and prioritize features

This consent is a condition of using the dashboard and is based on both contractual necessity (we cannot provide accurate billing, security, or support without this data) and our legitimate interest in providing a reliable, secure, and continuously improving service.

The analytics tools used in the dashboard include Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Mixpanel, and other services as described in our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to this tracking, you should not create an account or use the dashboard.

7.2 Public Website Cookie Consent

On our public-facing websites—including apiverve.com and public subdomains such as docs.*, blog.*, studio.*, and API vertical sites—you can manage your cookie preferences using our consent banner. These preferences control analytics and marketing cookies on public pages. However, once you log into the dashboard, the consent described in Section 7.1 above applies.
