Recraft Inc.
Last updated: 11 August 2026
Effective as of: 11 August 2026 (new accounts) / 25 August 2026 (existing accounts)
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW (THE "DEVELOPER TERMS") GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE RECRAFT APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE AND RELATED SERVICES. THESE DEVELOPER TERMS ARE A LEGAL CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND RECRAFT INC. ("RECRAFT", "WE", "OUR" OR "US"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE DEVELOPER TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE API. YOUR USE OF THE API WILL BE DEEMED TO BE YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY EACH OF THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.
The provisions in the section entitled "Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement" govern the resolution of disputes between you and Recraft. Please read those provisions carefully. If you do not agree with these Developer Terms, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver, please do not use the API.
1. Introduction and Parties
These Developer Terms of Service ("Developer Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("Developer," "you," or "your") and Recraft Inc. ("Recraft," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of the Recraft application programming interface ("API"), the Recraft Model Context Protocol ("MCP") server, and related software, tools, models, documentation, and services (collectively, the "Recraft Developer Services").
These Developer Terms incorporate by reference the Recraft Terms of Service at www.recraft.ai/legal/terms ("General Terms"), the Privacy Policy at www.recraft.ai/legal/privacy, and any other policies or guidelines made available at recraft.ai. In the event of a conflict between these Developer Terms and the General Terms, these Developer Terms control with respect to use of the API.
If you are accessing or using the API on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity ("Organization"), you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that Organization to these Developer Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the Organization. If you do not have such authority, do not use the API.
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
2.1 Eligibility. To use the Recraft API you must (i) be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher); (ii) have the legal capacity to form a binding contract with Recraft; (iii) not be prohibited from using the API under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, including applicable export control laws; and (iv) maintain a valid Recraft account with a positive API Units balance.
2.2 Account and API Keys. Access to the API requires authentication via Bearer token ("API Key"). You may generate API Keys through your Recraft profile settings once your API Units balance is above zero. A user may create multiple API Keys; however, all API Keys share the same API Units balance. You acknowledge that: (i) you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your API Keys; (ii) all activity conducted under your API Keys is your responsibility, whether or not authorized by you; (iii) you will promptly notify Recraft at help@recraft.ai if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your API Keys without your permission; and (iv) you must not make API Keys available to other people or otherwise share access to the API with others outside your Organization.
2.3 Integration and Development Costs. Developer understands and agrees that the specifications for the Recraft API shall be defined by Recraft in its sole discretion, and Developer is solely responsible for its own development and other costs associated with integrating with the Recraft API and building or maintaining any Developer Application.
3. License Grant and Restrictions
3.1 License Grant. Subject to your compliance with these Developer Terms and timely payment of all applicable fees, Recraft grants you a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, freely revocable license during the Term to: (i) access and use the Recraft API solely to develop, test, and operate applications or services that integrate with Recraft's image generation and editing capabilities (including, for example, third-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and other AI client integrations) ("Developer Application"); and (ii) use Recraft's technical documentation available at www.recraft.ai/docs in connection with your permitted use of the API.
All Services are licensed and not sold. Recraft reserves all rights not expressly granted under these Developer Terms. There are no implied licenses granted under these Developer Terms.
3.2 Restrictions. You shall not (and shall not permit any third party to) take any action that: (i) would constitute a violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, including any laws relating to transparency and marking of AI-generated content; (ii) infringes upon any intellectual property right, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other right of any person or entity; (iii) is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy, tortious, obscene, offensive, furthering of self-harm, or profane; (iv) creates Assets that exploit or abuse children or depict images of a child or children being exploited or abused; (v) generates or disseminates verifiably false information with the purpose of harming others; (vi) impersonates or attempts to impersonate others;(vii) generates or disseminates personally identifying or identifiable information without authorization; (viii) creates Assets that imply or promote support of a terrorist organization, or that condone or promote violence against people based on any protected legal category; (ix) attempts to reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of models, algorithms, or systems of the API (except to the extent such restrictions are contrary to applicable law); (x) uses the API or Assets to develop goods or services that compete with Recraft or the Services; (xi) takes any action that imposes or may impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Recraft's (or its third-party providers') infrastructure; (xii) interferes or attempts to interfere with the proper working of the API or bypasses any measures Recraft may use to prevent or restrict access; (xiii) uses any method to extract data from the API or Services other than as expressly permitted, including web scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction; or (xiv) uses any automated system (including robots, spiders, or load testers) to send more API request messages than a human could reasonably produce in the same period by using the Services.
3.3 Rate Limits. Your use of the API is subject to rate limits as published in the Documentation at www.recraft.ai/docs. Recraft may update rate limits at any time. Circumventing or attempting to circumvent any rate limits constitutes a material breach of these Developer Terms and may result in immediate suspension or termination of API access.
3.4 Beta Offerings. From time to time, Recraft may offer features or capabilities as part of the API on a beta or experimental basis ("Beta Offerings"). If you choose to use any Beta Offerings, you agree that: (i) Beta Offerings are provided "as is" and may contain errors, defects, or inaccuracies that could cause failures or loss of data; (ii) use of Beta Offerings is at your own risk, and Recraft does not provide technical support guarantees for Beta Offerings; (iii) Beta Offerings are provided on a confidential basis and constitute Confidential Information of Recraft; and (iv) Recraft may discontinue or materially change any Beta Offering at any time without notice or liability.
3.5 End User Applications. If you integrate the API into a Developer Application made available to third-party end users ("End Users"), you must: (i) bind End Users to an enforceable end user agreement and acceptable use policy containing terms at least as protective of Recraft as these Developer Terms and the General Terms, including the specific prohibited uses set forth in Section 3.2; (ii) maintain and enforce a privacy policy describing your data practices with respect to End User data; (iii) immediately suspend or terminate any End User's access if you become aware or reasonably suspect that the End User is violating applicable terms or laws; and (iv) remain solely responsible for your Developer Application and all activity conducted by your End Users through the API.
You are solely responsible for your Developer Application and assume all liability for any clearances, rights, permissions, or licenses needed in connection with it. You are responsible for the acts and omissions of your End Users as if they were your own acts or omissions under these Developer Terms.
3.6 Restrictions on Caching. Developer may cache Assets locally for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days solely to improve the performance of the Developer Application. Developer shall not use the API or Assets to create a persistent database of content or to develop any service that functions as a content repository that bypasses the need for End Users to call the API.
4. Recraft API Services
4.1 Available Models and Services. The Recraft API provides access to Recraft's proprietary AI image generation models. The API currently supports a range of capabilities including, for example, text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformation, inpainting, background editing, image style creation and application, vectorization, background removal, upscaling, and image variation.
The full list of available models, model versions, and supported API endpoints is published in the Documentation at www.recraft.ai/docs. Recraft may add, modify, deprecate, or remove models or services at any time. Recraft will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice of material deprecations where practicable, but is not liable for any costs or damages resulting from such changes. Developer acknowledges and agrees that any such modifications may affect the Developer Application's ability to access the API and may require Developer to make changes to the Developer Application at Developer's cost.
4.2 Data Retention and Persistent Storage. By default, Recraft does not store images or metadata generated via the API beyond the period necessary to deliver the output to the User. However, certain optional features of the API (including, for example, exploration or iterative generation features) may require temporary storage of generation artifacts in order to function. If you explicitly enable such features through API parameters (for example, by setting parameters such as store_info_for_deep_exploration=True or by specifying a retention period via time_till_deletion), you instruct and authorize Recraft to store the associated generation artifacts, prompts, images, and related metadata necessary to provide the requested functionality. Such artifacts will be retained only for the duration specified by the applicable API parameters, or until deleted by Recraft in accordance with the Services' operational requirements. If no deletion time is specified, the artifacts may be retained until deleted by the user or by Recraft in its sole discretion. Recraft makes no guarantee of permanent storage and is not responsible for any data loss associated with artifacts stored under this provision.
4.3 MCP Server Access. Recraft may make available official Recraft Model Context Protocol ("MCP") server access that allows Members to access Recraft generation and related Services from third-party AI services or other authorized software using the Member's own subscription credits. Subject to your compliance with these Developer Terms and Recraft's published technical specifications, rate limits, and usage policies, Recraft grants you the right to use such authorized MCP server access under the same license terms as the subscription plan applicable to your Recraft account. Assets generated through the Recraft MCP server are Assets under the subscription plan in effect on your account at the time of generation are subject to the same ownership, license, and use restrictions (including the prohibition on using Assets to train artificial intelligence models, systems, or networks), and are billed in accordance with Section 5.6. Authentication of the Recraft MCP server with your own account credentials, for your own use, is not "sharing access" with another person and does not, by itself, constitute prohibited automated or programmatic access. Recraft may at any time modify, suspend, or discontinue MCP server access, in whole or in part, on reasonable notice where practicable.
4.4 Third-Party AI Services. When you choose to use Recraft's official programmatic interfaces to third-party AI services ("Third-Party AI Services"), your inputs and outputs may be processed by those third-party providers and subject to their own terms of service and data use policies, which may include the use of your data for training their AI models, depending on your plan or settings with that provider. The prohibition on Recraft training on your Inputs and Assets described in Section 6.3 (No Training on API Assets) applies only to Recraft's own use of your data. Recraft is not responsible for the data practices of any Third-Party AI Services provider.
5. Fees, API Units, and Payment
5.1 API Units. Access to API Services is metered through prepaid "API Units." API Units must be purchased in advance and are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Purchased API Units do not expire. Current pricing for API Unit packages and the charges for each service are published at www.recraft.ai/pricing. Recraft reserves the right to update pricing at any time, with changes effective upon posting.
API Units are automatically deducted from your balance upon each API request at the then-current rates. Once a package of API Units is exhausted, you must purchase an additional package to continue using the API Services.
5.2 Purchasing API Units. API Unit packages may be purchased through the Recraft platform. All purchases are final. Recraft does not offer refunds for unused API Units except as required by applicable law or as Recraft determines in its sole discretion.
5.3 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and other similar assessments arising from your purchase of API Units, other than taxes imposed on or measured by Recraft's income or revenues. Recraft may invoice you for applicable taxes, and you agree to timely pay such taxes and provide Recraft with any documentation it reasonably requires.
5.4 Payment Processing. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. By providing payment information, you authorize Recraft or its payment processor to charge your designated payment method. Payment processing is subject to the terms and privacy policy of the applicable processor.
5.5 Audit Rights. Recraft will have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours, to verify your usage of the API in order to confirm the accuracy of fees paid, including evidence reasonably necessary to verify usage-based charges. Any such verification will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with your business activities. If any verification discloses an underpayment, you will promptly pay such amount to Recraft.
5.6 Billing Methods. Access to the Recraft API and the Recraft MCP server is metered through prepaid API Units, subscription credits, or such other billing method as Recraft makes available. The default billing methods are: (i) API Units for API access; and (ii) subscription credits for MCP server access, available to all Members. Recraft may make alternative billing methods available for particular customers, plans, or features at its discretion, and may update billing methods, applicable rates, and credit or API Unit consumption rates on reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the applicable Service after the effective date of any such change constitutes your acceptance of the updated rates and methods.
6. Assets, Inputs, and Intellectual Property
6.1 Your Inputs. "Input" means any content, data, prompts, images, or other materials you or your End Users submit to the API. You are solely and exclusively responsible for all Inputs and for any clearances, rights, permissions, or licenses needed in connection with them. You represent and warrant that you have sufficient rights in all Inputs to submit them to the API, that your Inputs do not infringe any third-party intellectual property right, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other right, and that your Inputs do not violate these Developer Terms or applicable law. If your Inputs contain the likeness, image, or personal data of any identifiable individual, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all required consents from that individual.
6.2 Outputs and Ownership. "Assets" means images or other content generated by the Recraft API in response to your Inputs. You own all Assets you create with the API Services, and Recraft hereby assigns to you all copyright rights it may have in the Assets, for personal or commercial use, subject to the following restriction: Assets may not be used to train any artificial intelligence model, system, network, or similar technology. Any breach of this restriction shall result in the immediate termination of these Developer Terms, and all rights granted to you shall revert to Recraft. You must immediately cease all use of the Assets and, upon request, return or destroy any copies in your possession. The obligations set forth in this restriction survive the termination or expiration of these Developer Terms.
6.3 No Training on API Assets. Recraft will not use any Assets created using the API Services to train Recraft AI models or for any other use in any Recraft Services, except as may be necessary for customer support for the customer that created the Asset, and to comply with applicable law and enforce Recraft policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the "Licenses to Recraft" provision in the General Terms of Service does not apply to the API Services.
6.4 AI Content Transparency and Marking. In order to comply with applicable laws and emerging industry standards relating to AI-generated content, Recraft may embed machine-readable metadata, watermarks, or other provenance information into Assets. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you will not remove, obscure, disable, or alter any machine-readable metadata, watermarks, or other markings applied by Recraft to Assets, except as may be expressly permitted by applicable law; and (ii) you are solely responsible for ensuring your use and redistribution of Assets complies with all applicable laws, including any requirements to include latent or visible disclosures that content is AI-generated.
6.5 Ownership of API Services. You acknowledge that, as between you and Recraft, all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in the API Services and its content and any Recraft Assets or Free Tier Assets are owned by Recraft or Recraft's licensors. Neither these Developer Terms (nor your access to the API Services) transfers to you or any third party any rights, title, or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in these Developer Terms. Recraft and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Developer Terms. There are no implied licenses granted under these Developer Terms.
6.6 Feedback. You hereby grant to Recraft a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the API or any Recraft service any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback you provide relating to the API ("Feedback"). Recraft will treat any Feedback you provide as non-confidential and non-proprietary.
6.7 Copyright Infringement Claims. Recraft respects international intellectual property rights and asks its Members to do the same. Assets may be unintentionally similar to copyright-protected material held by others. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Service infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to Recraft a written notice by mail or e-mail requesting that Recraft remove such material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Recraft a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to Recraft's Copyright Agent as follows: By mail to Recraft Copyright Agent, 450 Townsend St, Ste 100 San Francisco, CA 94107; or by e-mail to help@recraft.ai. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a DMCA notice or counter-notice.
6.8 Derivative Works. For the purpose of these Developer Terms, "Derivative Works" means any product, model, or service that is developed by you or a third party and is based on, derived from, or incorporates any part of the API or the underlying Recraft AI models. Except as expressly permitted in a separate written agreement, you shall not create Derivative Works of the API or the underlying models. To the extent you create any permitted Derivative Works, all right, title, and interest in and to such Derivative Works (excluding your pre-existing Inputs) shall be owned exclusively by Recraft.
7. Member Responsibilities and Restrictions
7.1 Incorporated Restrictions. Your use of the API is at all times subject to the Member Responsibilities and Restrictions set forth in the General Terms of Service at www.recraft.ai/legal/terms, which are incorporated by reference. The restrictions in Section 3.2 above supplement and do not replace those General Terms restrictions.
7.2 Safety and Moderation. Recraft may implement automated safety measures and content filters on the API. You acknowledge and agree that Recraft has no obligation to pre-screen all Inputs or Assets, but reserves the right to do so, and may refuse to process, remove, or report content that violates these Developer Terms or applicable law. Recraft may cooperate with law enforcement in connection with suspected illegal use of the API.
7.3 Brand and Identity-Related Instructions. Where you or any End User prompts or instructs the API to generate or process Assets that reference, emulate, or are in the style of any third-party brand, trademark, design system, identifiable creator, or identifiable individual, whether or not source material is provided, you represent and warrant that you (and your End Users, where applicable) have all necessary rights and consents to do so. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any resulting Assets do not infringe any third-party trademark, trade dress, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary right, and do not create a likelihood of consumer confusion or false endorsement. This applies to all use of the API and any Recraft-authorized integration, including the MCP server, Agent, and any Developer Application made available to End Users.
8. Publicity
You agree that Recraft may use your company name and logo for the limited purpose of identifying you as a customer or developer using the Recraft API on Recraft's website, and in other marketing materials distributed by Recraft (which may include in-app messages, emails, and other web and print materials). Recraft agrees to comply with any trademark usage policies or brand guidelines you provide to Recraft for such purposes.
9. Confidentiality
"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by Recraft to you in connection with the API, including pre-release model capabilities, Beta Offerings, and technical documentation marked as confidential. You agree to: (i) use Confidential Information only to exercise your rights under these Developer Terms; (ii) protect Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care you use to protect your own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care; and (iii) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without Recraft's prior written consent.
Obligations under this Section do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach by you; (b) was rightfully known by you before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by you without use of the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, provided you give Recraft prompt prior written notice to the extent permitted.
10. Privacy and Data Protection
10.1 Recraft Privacy Policy. Your use of the Recraft Developer Services is also subject to Recraft's Privacy Policy, which may be found at https://www.recraft.ai/legal/privacy ("Privacy Policy"). The Privacy Policy describes how Recraft collects, uses and processes your personal information. The Privacy Policy is a separate document and does not form part of these Developer Terms.
10.2 Your Privacy Obligations. If your Developer Application processes personal data of End Users or third parties, you are responsible for: (i) complying with all applicable data protection and privacy laws (including, where applicable, GDPR, CCPA, and other regional frameworks); (ii) obtaining all required consents for the collection, processing, and transmission of personal data via the API; (iii) providing adequate notice to individuals whose data is processed; and (iv) maintaining appropriate security measures to protect personal data.
10.3 Data Processing Addendum. Recraft's Data Processing Addendum ("DPA"), available at https://www.recraft.ai/legal/dpa, is incorporated into these Developer Terms by reference and governs Recraft's processing of personal information on your behalf. In the event of a conflict between the DPA and these Developer Terms on data processing matters, the DPA will prevail.
11. Representations and Warranties
11.1 Mutual Representations. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it has the legal capacity and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under these Developer Terms; (b) these Developer Terms constitute valid, legally binding obligations; and (c) entry into these Developer Terms does not violate any agreement to which it is a party.
11.2 Developer Representations. You additionally represent and warrant that your Developer Application and all Inputs comply with these Developer Terms, the General Terms, and all applicable laws at all times.
11.3 Disclaimer of Warranties. RECRAFT, FOR ITSELF AND ITS LICENSORS, MAKES NO EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE API, ANY ASSETS, OR ANY OTHER CONTENT OR MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH THE API, RELATING TO THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL CONTAINED OR PRESENTED THEREIN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE API, ASSETS, AND ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL PROVIDED THROUGH THE API IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" AND "WHERE-IS" BASIS WITH NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. RECRAFT DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY UPTIME OR AVAILABILITY OF THE API SERVICES.
12. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Recraft, its affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, licensors, and representatives from any and all liabilities, losses, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from or relate to: (i) your use or misuse of, or access to, the API or any Assets; (ii) third-party claims that your Assets, Inputs, your data sources, or the use thereof, infringe, violate, or otherwise intrude upon the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of a third party, including rights of publicity, privacy, and moral rights; (iii) your failure to comply with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations relating to transparency, labeling, watermarking, or other marking of AI-generated or synthetic content; (iv) your Developer Application or End Users' use thereof; or (v) your violation of these Developer Terms or any applicable law, contract, policy, or regulation; or (vi) any claim arising from instructions or prompts that you or any End User provides to the API that references, invoke, or seek to emulate any third-party brand, trademark, design system, identifiable creator, or identifiable individual, regardless of whether any source material was provided in connection with such instruction.
Recraft reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Recraft, and you agree to cooperate with Recraft's defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Recraft. Recraft will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
13. Limitations of Liability
13.1 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. RECRAFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE API OR ANY ASSETS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL RECRAFT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE API OR THESE DEVELOPER TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT RECRAFT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, COPYRIGHT, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
13.2 Limitation of Direct Damages. RECRAFT'S LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE DEVELOPER TERMS (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION) WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED IN THE AGGREGATE TO THE GREATER OF FIFTY US DOLLARS (U.S. $50), OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO RECRAFT IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH ASSERTED CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13.3 Allocation of Risk and Material Term. This Section on limitations of liability and disclaimer of damages will survive termination of these Developer Terms. These provisions allocate the risks under these Developer Terms between the parties and are an intrinsic part of the bargain between the parties. The fees provided for in these Developer Terms reflect this allocation of risks, and such limitations will apply notwithstanding a failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy and to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Term and Termination
14.1 Effective Date for Existing Users. For Members who have previously accessed the API under the API terms contained in the General Terms of Service, these Developer Terms will take effect fourteen (14) days after the original posting date, and continued use of the API after that date will be deemed acceptance of these Developer Terms.
14.2 Duration. Subject to this Section, these Developer Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the API Services.
14.3 Termination by You. You may terminate these Developer Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the API and deleting all API Keys. If you wish to terminate your Recraft account entirely, you may do so by following the instructions on the Recraft platform or by emailing help@recraft.ai. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of unused API Units.
14.4 Termination by Recraft. Recraft may terminate your access to all or any part of the API at any time if you fail to comply with these Developer Terms, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your account including any Assets. Further, Recraft may terminate or suspend API access without notice if Recraft reasonably suspects fraudulent, abusive, or illegal use of the API; if continued access poses a security or legal risk to Recraft or third parties; if you are subject to insolvency proceedings, dissolution, or cessation of business; or if Recraft discontinues the API (with reasonable prior notice where practicable).
Recraft will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these Developer Terms, including for deletion of any Assets. Any fees paid hereunder are non-refundable.
14.5 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination, all rights and licenses granted to you pursuant to these Developer Terms shall terminate immediately. You must cease all use of the API and, upon request, return or destroy any Recraft Confidential Information in your possession. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation Sections 3.2, 6, 7, 9, 11.3, 12, 13, 14.5, and 16–17.
15. Modifications to the API and These Terms
15.1 API Changes. The Company reserves the right to modify, change, update, and/or enhance the Recraft API and any related models, tools, or services at any time in Recraft's sole and exclusive discretion. Developer acknowledges and agrees that such modifications may affect the Developer Application's ability to access the API and may require Developer to make changes to the Developer Application at Developer's cost. Recraft will not be liable for any costs, lost profits, or damages arising from any such changes.
15.2 Changes to These Terms. Recraft may update these Developer Terms to reflect changes to the API or how we provide it, to comply with legal requirements, or for other legal or security reasons. We will make changes by posting updated Developer Terms on recraft.ai and sending registered users an in-app notification or email notice. If any modification is unacceptable to you, you must cease using the API. If you do not cease using the API, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.
16. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement
16.1 Governing Law. These Developer Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of New York between New York residents, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles that would require the application of the substantive or procedural laws of a different jurisdiction. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is specifically excluded from application to these Developer Terms.
16.2 Notice of Claim and Required Information. If you have any concern or dispute that Recraft is unable to resolve ("Claim"), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting Recraft and providing a written Notice of Claim to help@recraft.ai. The Notice of Claim must provide Recraft with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including any specific monetary amount, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within thirty (30) days of receipt, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through either small claims court or final and binding arbitration, subject to the exceptions set forth below. Neither party shall initiate legal action until thirty (30) days after the Notice of Claim is received. Claims related to these Developer Terms or the API are permanently barred if not brought within one (1) year of the event resulting in the Claim.
16.3 No Class Actions or Class Arbitration. You may only resolve disputes with Recraft on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
16.4 Arbitration Rules. Any dispute under these Developer Terms will be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules"). There will be one (1) arbitrator agreed upon by the parties; if the parties cannot agree within ten (10) days, JAMS will make the appointment. The arbitrator will be a trial attorney with not less than fifteen (15) years' experience in intellectual property matters and sales and licensing of consumer technology products. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, and the place of arbitration will be San Francisco County, California.
Either or both parties may participate by written submissions, telephone calls, or other means of remote communication as allowed by the arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these Developer Terms, including whether any dispute is subject to arbitration and whether all or any part of these Developer Terms are void or voidable. In the event of a conflict between the JAMS Rules and these Developer Terms, these Developer Terms will govern.
The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right, or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority.
16.5 Arbitration Fees and Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs of arbitration will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Notwithstanding the above, if you are unable to afford the fees or costs of arbitration, Recraft will pay them. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a Claim or the relief sought in arbitration was frivolous, or that a Claim was brought for an improper purpose, the parties may seek to re-allocate the fees and costs of arbitration according to the JAMS Rules.
16.6 Exceptions — Small Claims and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to have any Claim subject to the jurisdiction of small claims court decided in small claims court in the City and County of San Francisco, California, USA. Additionally, either party shall be entitled to apply for preliminary injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction, such as in the event of unauthorized access to or use of the API in violation of these Developer Terms.
16.7 Acceptance of Arbitration and Right to Opt Out. Within the first thirty (30) days of your use of the API Services, you have the right to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of these Developer Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to help@recraft.ai or by mail to: Recraft Inc., 450 Townsend St, Ste 100, San Francisco, CA 94107. If you opt out of these provisions, Recraft will also not be bound by them.
17. General Provisions
17.1 Electronic Communications. The information communicated through the API platform constitutes an electronic communication. When you communicate with Recraft through the API platform or other forms of electronic media, such as email, you are communicating with Recraft electronically. Recraft may communicate with you by email and/or may make communications available by posting them on www.recraft.ai. Such communications, as well as notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications provided electronically, are equivalent to communications in writing and shall have the same force and effect as if they were in writing and signed by Recraft. Notices and communications to Recraft must be sent to help@recraft.ai.
17.2 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any breach of these Developer Terms which arises because of any circumstances which the defaulting party cannot reasonably be expected to control, including any act of god, fire, casualty, flood, pandemic or epidemic, war, labor disputes, governmental action, failure of public services, or interruption or failure of the Internet or of any network, telecommunications, power supply, or infrastructure. If performance has been interfered with, hindered, delayed, or prevented for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, the party whose performance is not affected may terminate these Developer Terms immediately by written notice to the other party.
17.3 Entire Agreement. These Developer Terms, including the General Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and all other terms and conditions incorporated herein or which incorporate these Developer Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Recraft regarding use of the API. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Developer Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Developer Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. If any provision of these Developer Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law and consistent with the original intent. These Developer Terms create no relationship of employee-employer, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the parties. These Developer Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Recraft's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Recraft may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without your consent. The terms and conditions set forth in these Developer Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
17.4 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices under these Developer Terms will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by email; or two (2) days after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
