Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure
Payment, activation or use is treated as agreement
Checking or clicking confirmation, paying, activating or actually using paid services is treated as acceptance of this agreement and all service agreements and rules. A person acting for an organization represents that they have full authority to bind it. Auto-renewal has a separate affirmative-choice requirement; ordinary use alone does not activate it.
Supporting quotations
By checking/clicking to confirm on the page, paying fees, activating, or actually using the Paid Services, you are deemed to have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement and all service agreements and rules. If you activate or use the Services on behalf of an enterprise or other organization, you represent that you have obtained full authorization and that such organization will be bound by this Agreement.
We support continuous membership subscription and provide an Auto-Renewal function, including but not limited to continuous monthly and continuous annual subscriptions (as published on the page). By activating Auto-Renewal, you are deemed to authorize us to automatically deduct fees and renew at the published price for each renewal cycle, including authorizing us, when the renewal cycle for your purchased Paid Services is about to expire, to entrust the payment channel (such as Alipay or WeChat Pay) to automatically deduct the fee for the next billing cycle from your own top-up account or the third-party payment account bound to the user account that purchased the Paid Services (collectively, the “Payment Account”). For portions where the payment channel determines the deduction cycle at its own discretion based on actual circumstances, the actual deduction time shall prevail. Once the deduction is successful, we will automatically extend the usage period of your corresponding Paid Services. The Auto-Renewal service is activated only after you independently choose and separately confirm it; we will not set the Auto-Renewal option as pre-checked by default, nor will we set your choices in prior transactions as the default choice in subsequent independent transactions.

Changes require notice for material revisions
Moonshot says it will revise the agreement for legal, regulatory or operational needs and prominently notify users of material changes. Continued use after a non-diminishing update takes effect is treated as acceptance; users who disagree are told to stop using and cancel before it takes effect. For materially adverse adjustments, including price increases or renewal and refund rule changes, Moonshot says it will offer cancellation, non-renewal or other legally feasible paths.
Supporting quotations
We will revise this Agreement in response to changes in laws and regulations, regulatory requirements, or operational needs. Where material changes are involved (for example, substantial adjustments to pricing mechanisms, Auto-Renewal rules, or core functions or rights and obligations), we will notify you in a relatively prominent manner. For updates that do not diminish your rights, after the update takes effect, your continued use of the Services will be deemed as your having fully read and agreed to the updated content; if you do not agree, please stop using the Services and cancel your subscription promptly before the update takes effect. For adjustments that may have a materially adverse effect on you, such as price increases or changes to Auto-Renewal rules or cancellation/refund rules, we will provide you with options to cancel Auto-Renewal, stop renewal, cancel your subscription, or other legally feasible paths.
Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception
Termination language claims no continued service or refunds, alongside other remedies
When the listed suspension or termination circumstances occur, Moonshot says it need not continue the service, bear other related statutory obligations, or refund paid fees. This is a contractual assertion, not a conclusion about enforceable statutory duties. Elsewhere the agreement expressly preserves legally required refunds and offers remedies for material harm to purchased Core Benefits and for Moonshot-caused inability to use them. Those provisions create a tension with the broad termination language; the text supplies no general priority rule settling every overlapping case.
Supporting quotations
We have the right to suspend or terminate the provision of the corresponding Paid Services to you in any of the following circumstances regarding the Paid Services you have purchased: (1) you actively apply for suspension or termination, including but not limited to no longer renewing after the service expires or actively deregistering your user account; (2) you engage in conduct that violates laws and regulations, this Agreement, or any platform rules, or you abuse the Services; (3) due to force majeure events or change of circumstances such as national laws and regulations, administrative orders, or regulatory requirements, we need to suspend or terminate the corresponding Paid Services; (4) other circumstances of suspension or termination provided by laws and regulations or agreed in this Agreement.
When the foregoing circumstances result in the suspension or termination of the Paid Services, we have no obligation to continue providing the corresponding services to you, nor do we need to bear any other statutory obligations related to such services, and the fees you have already paid cannot be refunded. If your violation of law or breach of agreement causes us to suffer third-party claims, administrative penalties, or other losses, you shall compensate us for the losses and expenses arising therefrom.
The Services are virtual services. Once a Paid Service is successfully purchased and activated, it is deemed to have been successfully consumed, and, except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations, it is non-refundable and non-transferable. Before purchasing the corresponding Paid Service, please make sure to verify the service and benefit information, price, usage period, and the relevant usage rules in this Agreement, and be careful to verify the user account information for which you are purchasing the service.
To improve the experience and refine the Services, we may update or optimize Membership Services, features, fee plans, upgrade/downgrade plans, and user benefits, which may involve taking offline or adjusting certain already-launched features/benefits. We will provide explanations following the principles of reasonableness and transparency. For material changes involving pricing, Core Benefits, or renewal rules, we will notify or remind you in advance in a prominent manner. If such changes have a materially adverse effect on Core Benefits that you have already purchased and that remain within their validity period, we will, in accordance with the announcement, provide substitute benefits of equal or greater value, reasonable compensation for the unperformed portion, or a cancellation/refund path (subject to the applicable announcement).
The validity period of the Membership Services shall be subject to the publication on the relevant page. Upon expiry of the validity period, if you do not renew or purchase other Membership Services, the membership account will revert to an ordinary account, and the corresponding membership benefits will terminate. Unless otherwise stated, quotas or benefits not fully used within the validity period due to your own reasons will be reset to zero upon expiry and will not be carried over, converted to cash, or exchanged; if, due to our reasons, you are unable to normally use the Core Benefits you have purchased within the validity period, we will provide, in accordance with the law, resolutions such as reissuance, extension, substitute benefits, reasonable compensation, or a refund for the unperformed portion.
Not stated here
The agreement does not expressly reconcile its broad termination disclaimer with every promised remedy or mandatory legal obligation.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): Activated services are generally non-refundable and non-transferable, with exceptions — contrast: The broad no-refund and no-statutory-obligations assertion on termination sits alongside legally required refund exceptions and express remedies for impaired Core Benefits. The cards preserve each scope; the agreement does not expressly settle every overlap.

Users must compensate losses caused by their unlawful conduct or breach
If a user’s violation of law or breach causes Moonshot third-party claims, administrative penalties or other losses, the agreement requires the user to compensate the resulting losses and expenses. The stated trigger is harm caused by the violation or breach.

Paying does not remove the basic AI limitations
The agreement says paid services retain the basic services’ inherent AI technical limitations and risks. It directs users to read service descriptions, risk notices and liability limitations in the Kimi User Service Agreement before paying.
Supporting quotations
Although the Services are Paid Services, due to the inherent technical limitations of artificial intelligence, the technical limitations and risks are consistent with those of the basic services. Before paying, please make sure to fully read the service descriptions, risk notices, and limitation of liability provisions in the Kimi User Service Agreement. In addition, any losses or liabilities arising from our inability to provide the Paid Services, or from any errors occurring in the provision of the Paid Services, due to reasons attributable to you or a third party, shall be borne by you, and we shall not bear any liability, including but not limited to: (1) your account becoming invalid, being lost, or being banned; (2) losses or liabilities caused by reasons relating to the third-party payment institution, bank, or other account you have bound, including your use of an unverified account or an account not belonging to you, your Payment Account being frozen or sealed, or the status of your Payment Account and the deductible amount, resulting in unsuccessful deduction or renewal failure; (3) property loss caused by your disclosure of your password to others; (4) property loss caused by your own fault.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception
Losses from user or third-party causes are allocated to the user
For inability to provide paid services or errors attributable to the user or a third party, the clause places losses or liabilities on the user and disclaims Moonshot liability. Examples include invalid, lost or banned accounts; payment-account or institution problems causing failed deduction or renewal; password disclosure; and the user’s own fault. It is not a blanket disclaimer for Moonshot-caused inability to use purchased Core Benefits: section 2.7 separately promises remedies in that situation.

contrast (model-proposed): Termination language claims no continued service or refunds, alongside other remedies — contrast: The risk allocation is limited to user or third-party causes and preserves the company-caused Core Benefit remedy, while the termination clause makes a broader disclaimer. Neither card assumes the broad wording eliminates the other promise.
