You acknowledge and agree that these Rules, together with the Agreements, form a binding contract between you and NOVASCENT PRIVATE LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", or "Moonshot AI").

1. Nature of Extra Usage

Extra Usage is a digital virtual product offered exclusively to Kimi subscribers as a supplementary service. You acknowledge that when your subscription credit is exhausted, you may use the purchased Extra Usage to continue accessing the Platform and its related products, services, and features (collectively, the "Services"). Funds you deposit shall be credited to your Current Balance and may be applied toward the use of the Services on the Platform. Your balance is displayed in USD, and consumption shall be deducted based on actual usage and the applicable billing rates.
Extra Usage does not possess monetary attributes, does not carry the purchasing power of legal tender, and may not be circulated outside the Platform.

2. Activation and Recharge

2.1 Subscriber-Only

Extra Usage is available exclusively to Kimi subscribers. You shall maintain an active Kimi subscription to access the Extra Usage recharge function. Non-subscribers may continue to consume existing Extra Usage balance until depleted.

2.2 Validity

Extra Usage funds do not expire. You may use your balance at any time, and any unused balance shall remain in your account.
If your subscription lapses, your balance shall remain in your account and may continue to be used. However, you shall not be able to make new recharges until you reactivate your Kimi subscription.

2.3 Recharge Limits

You may select from the system-provided recharge amount options, or set a custom recharge amount. To ensure account security and fair use, the following recharge limits shall apply:
  • Minimum single recharge: USD 10;
  • Maximum 10 recharges per day;
  • Daily cumulative recharge limit: USD 1,000;
  • Balance cap: USD 2,000. When your balance approaches this limit, further recharges will be restricted until your balance falls below the cap.
  • Monthly Spending Cap: This feature is disabled by default. You may enable it and set a monthly spending cap amount, which must exceed the minimum single recharge amount. Once enabled, the system will pause Extra Usage consumption for the month when your monthly spending reaches the cap.

3. Credit Consumption and Billing

3.1 Consumption Priority

When you use the Services, system shall prioritize the deduction of credits with the shortest remaining validity period. If multiple types of credits share the same expiration date or have no specified expiration, the credits would be deducted in the following order: gifted usage counts, gifted credits, subscription credits, and Extra Usage balance.
You can view balances and usage breakdowns for all types of credits on your subscription page. Kimi reserves the right to modify the above deduction sequence as needed for operational requirements, user rights protection, or product strategy adjustments. In the event of any changes, we will notify you via in-app notifications, email, or other appropriate means.

3.2 Billing Rules

Consumption of Extra Usage shall be deducted in real time based on actual usage of the Services. You acknowledge that different tasks and models may incur different charges, and all deductions shall be based on actual consumption. For example:
  • Recommend a great rock song. — approximately USD 0.005;
  • Plan a one-week road trip itinerary along the California Pacific Coast Highway, including San Francisco, Big Sur, Monterey, and Santa Barbara, with daily schedules, scenic stops, and restaurant recommendations. — approximately USD 0.24.

4. Subscription Status and Balance Management

You may disable Extra Usage at any time in the Settings page. Upon disabling, your balance shall remain in your account, but the system shall pause deducting from your Extra Usage credit. You may re-enable Extra Usage at any time.

5. Refund Policy

Extra Usage is a prepaid virtual product. To maintain transaction security and prevent money laundering and fraudulent activity, recharges are generally non-refundable and non-transferable, and may not be exchanged for cash, except where required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. You acknowledge that you shall carefully evaluate your needs before recharging.
