Terms

1. Experimental software

CodexShare is an independent experimental public capacity pool. It is provided as-is and may change, stop working, or become incompatible with upstream services without notice.

2. Your authorization

You are responsible for ensuring that your use is permitted by your OpenAI subscription, employer, organization, and applicable law. CodexShare does not grant rights to resell or redistribute an upstream service.

3. Public Provider trust boundary

Model requests traverse a centrally selected public Provider machine. A modified Provider could inspect request content. Do not send secrets, regulated data, or third-party material unless you are authorized to do so.

4. Acceptable use

• Do not disclose enrollment credentials or device tokens.
• Do not use CodexShare to evade quotas, controls, or abuse systems.
• Do not inspect, retain, or disclose another user's request content.
• Revoke access promptly when a sharing relationship ends.

5. Credits, top-ups, and spending order

New accounts start with a zero credit balance. Verified payment credits and credits earned by providing completed peer service are recorded separately. Borrow consumes verified payment credit before Share-earned credit. Unused balances carry forward across weekly Codex usage windows; CodexShare does not automatically reset the ledger each week.

During early access, each request has a $0.50 credit authorization cap and each account may have only one billed request in flight. Provider Share earnings are limited to credits actually collected from the Borrow account, even if calculated usage is higher.

Each completed Borrow request is charged as the Provider settlement price plus a 10% platform matching fee, itemized as separate ledger entries. Providers receive the full settlement price; the platform fee is never deducted from Provider earnings. Paid top-ups are charged so that payment-processing costs are borne by the purchaser, and credits are issued 1:1 against the platform's net receipts. Fee rates apply prospectively: changes affect only requests and top-ups after their effective time.

Stripe Test top-up collection is handled by Stripe in test mode. The selected USD credit amount and purchaser-paid processing fee are fixed by the server. CodexShare credits the account only after validating Stripe's signed server-to-server webhook and reconciling its account, checkout session, payment intent, charge amount, and currency. A browser return page is not proof of payment, and test mode does not create live Stripe charges. Credits are closed-loop service units: they are not cash, cannot be transferred between users, cannot be withdrawn to a bank account or payment wallet, and cannot be converted into gift cards.
