When you recharge, you must have a SiliconFlow Platform account that has successfully passed real-name authentication.
4. Account Security
4.1 When conducting a recharge, the User shall carefully confirm their account and information. If harm to the User's own rights and interests is caused by factors such as improper operation, lack of understanding, or insufficient understanding of the recharge billing method, resulting in recharging the wrong account or selecting the wrong recharge type, the User shall bear the liability.
4.2 When the User uses services provided by third-party payment enterprises during recharge, the User shall comply with the various agreements and service rules of such third parties; during the use of third-party payment services, the User shall properly safeguard personal information, including but not limited to bank account numbers, passwords, verification codes, etc.; the User agrees and acknowledges that SiliconFlow shall not bear any liability for disputes arising from third-party payment services.
5. Recharge Methods

5.2 If a User entrusts a third party to recharge their Consumption Account, the User represents and warrants that they know and trust such third party, and that such third party is also aware of and agrees to accept the User's entrustment to recharge for the User; otherwise, if SiliconFlow is informed by the third party that such recharge was not made with the third party's consent, SiliconFlow has the right to immediately lock the User's Consumption Account (during the account lock-up period, SiliconFlow will suspend the User's use of services and simultaneously lock the User's API keys, the same applies hereinafter). Within 30 days from the date the User's Consumption Account is locked, the User shall provide sufficient evidence proving that the third party had prior consent to recharge on their behalf; otherwise, the User agrees and authorizes SiliconFlow to comply with the third party's request to refund the corresponding amount from the User's locked Consumption Account to the third party. If the balance in the User's Consumption Account is insufficient for the refund at that time, the User agrees to recharge the shortfall within 30 days at the latest and entrust SiliconFlow to refund it, or to refund it from their WeChat account or Alipay account on their own, unless the third party agrees that the User need not refund this portion of the amount.
5.3 The User represents and warrants the legality of the funding sources used for recharging their Consumption Account; otherwise, SiliconFlow has the right to cooperate with the requirements of judicial authorities or other competent government authorities to take corresponding measures regarding the User's Consumption Account, including but not limited to locking the User's Consumption Account.
