Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated October 2026. These terms govern your use of Somnus.
1. Who we are
Somnus is operated by Francisco Costa, Rua Dom Lourenço de Almeida nº 5, 1º Esq, Lisbon, Portugal, at somnus.world. You can reach us at notify@somnus.world.
2. The service
Somnus gives you a desktop app and command-line tool that route AI requests through the Somnus gateway to third-party models (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Zhipu, Alibaba and others). Model output can be inaccurate, and model availability and pricing can change. We may add, remove, or substitute models at any time.
3. Accounts and security
You sign up with an email address and a name. Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app is required for every account. You are responsible for keeping your password, authenticator, and API key secret. Your API key is stored encrypted and can be revealed from your dashboard after signing in with two-step verification. Keep it secret. If you regenerate your key, the old one stops working immediately and its remaining balance carries over. We may suspend accounts involved in abuse, fraud, or prohibited activity.
4. Credit, top-ups and pricing
Somnus uses prepaid credit in US dollars. Eligible new accounts receive $10.00 of free trial credit after verifying and saving a credit or debit card with Stripe. No purchase, subscription or automatic top-up is created. Your bank may show a temporary verification hold. This offer is one-time per new account and card and does not stack with previously granted starter credit or explicit promo/creator offers; existing balances remain unchanged. Every paid top-up is credited at 2× the amount you pay before tax (for example, a $10 payment adds $20 of credit). Larger top-ups receive bonus credit: 2.2× from $50, 2.35× from $100 and 2.5× from $200. Your first-ever top-up is credited at least 2.5×. Credit never expires and is consumed as you use models, at the rates shown on our About page. Prices include a margin over the underlying model provider costs. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number or security code. With your consent, Stripe saves your card for future top-ups that you explicitly confirm. We store its brand, last four digits, Stripe references and card fingerprint for offer-abuse prevention. Because credit is digital content delivered immediately, you waive the 14-day withdrawal right when a top-up is delivered, and top-ups are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change credit multipliers or rates with notice on the site; credit you already hold is not devalued retroactively.
5. Referrals
You can invite friends with your personal referral link. When a referred friend completes their first paid top-up, you receive $2.50 of API credit. Free trial credit does not count as a top-up. Self-referrals, fake accounts, or abuse void referral rewards and may lead to suspension.
Dreamcaster Enterprise
Dreamcaster Enterprise is our tier for teams and heavy users, arranged directly with us — use the contact form at somnus.world/enterprise or email reply@somnus.world. Pricing, volume discounts, shared team budgets and invoicing are agreed per customer in a separate order or agreement. Enterprise credit is added to your normal Somnus balance and never expires. Gateway capacity remains subject to model availability and abuse controls. There is no unlimited usage, dedicated server or availability SLA unless expressly agreed in writing.
6. Acceptable use
You must not use Somnus for illegal content, spam, malware, surveillance, or anything that violates the usage policies of the upstream model providers. We may throttle or block traffic that threatens the service or other users.
7. Third-party software
The Somnus desktop app is based on Hermes Agent, used under the MIT license. The original copyright notice and license text are included with the app and in its repository.
8. Availability and liability
We aim for high availability but the service is provided "as is" without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for model output, upstream provider outages, or indirect losses.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes are announced on the site or by email before they take effect. Continued use after that point means you accept the new terms.
