Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-23

1 · Acceptance and scope

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of sinoaihub.com and data.sinoaihub.com (together, "the site"), operated by the China AI Hub project. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Your continued use after we post changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, as described in "Changes to these Terms" below.

2 · Who operates the site

The site is operated by the China AI Hub project. The project publishes a contact point and a team-level byline (the SinoAI Hub Research Team); it does not publish a corporate legal name, registration number, or registered office. The contact point is Martin.W — [email protected]. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and the project.

3 · Informational purpose only

China AI Hub is an independent information and research platform. All content — including model specifications, pricing, benchmarks, comparisons, guides and analysis — is provided for informational purposes only. It is not professional, financial, legal, investment or procurement advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy, use, deploy or rely on any particular model, API or vendor. See the Disclaimer for the full scope of what the site does and does not warrant. Always verify any price, capability, license or availability against the linked official vendor source before making a decision.

4 · Access and permitted use

You may access the site and read, bookmark, quote and share its content for lawful purposes, subject to the license terms below. You may not, and may not attempt or assist others to:

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the database, or republish it wholesale, without our permission;
• Misrepresent the site's content, or present analysis as official vendor fact;
• Use the site in a way that disrupts, damages or impairs its availability or security;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site's infrastructure;
• Use the site to infringe the rights of the project or of the third parties whose models, benchmarks and trademarks we reference;
• Use automated means to send an unreasonable volume of requests that burdens the site.

We may suspend or restrict access to the site where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the site's security or availability, or to address a breach of these Terms.

5 · Intellectual property and content license

Original text, analysis and the data structure of the site are the intellectual property of the China AI Hub project. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page, for purposes such as commentary, research, or fair dealing as permitted by applicable law. You may not republish substantial portions, bulk-scrape the database, or resell the data without prior written permission.

The companion Data Hub (data.sinoaihub.com) publishes machine-readable reference records for research use; its pages state the applicable terms for that layer. The dataset is not released under a Creative Commons license by default — reuse beyond short attributed quotation requires permission. Model names, benchmark names, product names and trademarks referenced on the site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

AI-generated illustrations are labeled in their image credits and contain no personal data; their generation and use are further described in the Disclaimer.

6 · Data accuracy and verification

Facts on this site are sourced and date-stamped. Each record carries a last_verified date and a source list with a confidence level and an evidence type (official, vendor-reported, independent, academic, community, or China AI Hub analysis). Pricing and capability data for the Chinese AI market changes quickly; figures may become outdated between verification cycles. We update records when we detect changes, but we do not guarantee real-time accuracy, completeness or availability.

Where a value is unknown, we mark it "Not publicly documented" or "Unknown" rather than guessing. If you find an error, report it through the corrections policy.

7 · AI-generated content disclosure

The site uses AI-assisted tools in two limited, disclosed ways. First, illustrations on entity pages are AI-generated and labeled in image credits. Second, the verification workflow uses automated tooling ("an agent") to re-fetch primary sources and compare extracted values against stored values. Editorial text and analysis are produced and reviewed by the SinoAI Hub Research Team and are labeled where they constitute analysis rather than observed fact. See the Disclaimer for the complete disclosure.

8 · Third-party links and content

The site links extensively to official vendor documentation, model cards, pricing pages, papers, GitHub repositories and other third-party sites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement of the linked site, nor that the linked site endorses us. Vendor claims and benchmark scores reproduced here are attributed to their reporting source and are not independently re-verified unless labeled as such.

9 · Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the China AI Hub project disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy or completeness. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any particular model, API or vendor described here is fit for your purposes.

10 · Limitation of liability

The site is a free informational resource, not a paid service and not a provider of AI systems. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the China AI Hub project and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, the site — including reliance on model specifications, pricing, benchmarks or analysis — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because the site charges no fees and sells nothing, there is no transaction amount to which a monetary liability cap could attach. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Your decisions and reliance on any model, API or vendor remain your own responsibility.

11 · Changes to the site and to these Terms

The site is updated continuously as new models, prices, benchmarks and releases appear; we may add, change, or remove content at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the site or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the current version. Material changes take effect when posted; continued use after posting constitutes acceptance. We do not maintain a mailing list, so please review this page periodically.

12 · Your representations

By using the site you represent that you are at least the minimum age to form a binding agreement in your jurisdiction (and in any event at least 16), and that you will use the site only in accordance with these Terms and applicable law. If you are using the site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

13 · Copyright and notice-and-takedown

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the site infringes a copyright you own or control, contact us at [email protected] with (a) a description of the work, (b) the URL of the allegedly infringing content, (c) your contact details, (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized, and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will review and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the content.

14 · Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator, and disputes shall be subject to the competent courts having jurisdiction over the matter. The China AI Hub project does not publish a registered office or a specific governing-law selection, and it designates no arbitration body; no provision of these Terms should be read as selecting a forum the project has not disclosed.

Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the matter in good faith within a reasonable time. Nothing in this section limits any rights you cannot waive under your local law.

15 · Severability, waiver and assignment

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms; the project may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the site.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and the Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and the project regarding your use of the site, superseding any prior agreements.
