Cancellation permanently loses account data and paid rights

If you violated this Agreement before cancellation, we retain the right to enforce our rights.

7.1 The Service may be provided to you in anthropomorphic interactive forms. Please be aware and understand that such services are powered by artificial intelligence models. The party interacting with you is not a natural person, and the Output is generated by artificial intelligence. The Output does not represent the expression of intent of any real individual, nor does it constitute any professional opinion or advice.

Account & Service Control · Procedure

You may end service by cancellation; violations may also trigger termination

You may terminate at any time through account cancellation, but cancellation makes account data and paid rights unrecoverable; required registration and behavior records and logs may still be retained, and prior breaches remain enforceable. Moonshot may terminate depending on circumstances if you violate laws, these terms or platform rules, or infringe the public's, Moonshot's or others' lawful rights.

Supporting quotations

Moonshot may change or end service, with compensation for some unexpired paid rights

For overall operational needs, Moonshot reserves the right to set features and service scope and modify, interrupt, suspend or terminate service according to actual circumstances.

If termination is due to your reasons, account rights and interests end without compensation. The clause gives no calculation method for fair compensation.
