Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to A.I. Pet ("we," "us," "our," or "the Service"). By accessing or using our website at pet.altech.hk and any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the operators of A.I. Pet ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

A.I. Pet is an online platform based in Hong Kong that enables users to create, customize, and interact with artificially intelligent virtual pet companions powered by large language model (LLM) technology. The Service includes:

  • Creation and customization of AI-powered virtual pet companions with AI-generated avatars
  • Real-time text-based chat with AI companions using GPT technology
  • Credit-based system for pet creation, avatar regeneration, and future features
  • Pre-made AI companion characters available to all users
  • Credit-based purchasing for credits packs

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will provide reasonable notice for material changes that affect your purchased credits.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are under 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you must obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms and accepts responsibility for your use of the Service.

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering for an account and keep your account credentials secure. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

Upon successful registration, your account is automatically approved and you are logged in immediately. You will receive 50 free credits as a welcome bonus, which can be used to create your first AI pet companion. No admin screening or waiting period is required.

4. Credit System

4.1 Credits Overview

A.I. Pet uses a credit-based system for certain actions. Credits are a virtual currency used within the platform and have no cash value outside the Service. Credits are deducted from your account balance when you perform actions such as creating pets or regenerating avatars.

4.2 Credit Costs

  • Pet Creation: 50 credits per pet (includes AI-generated avatar and LLM-generated backstory if not provided)
  • Avatar Regeneration: 20 credits per regeneration
  • New User Bonus: 50 free credits upon registration

4.3 Pet Limits

  • Maximum 10 pets per account

4.4 Credit Refunds

All credit purchases are non-refundable. Once credits are purchased and added to your account, they cannot be refunded, exchanged, or converted back to cash. However, if pet creation, avatar regeneration, photo generation, or a mini-game round fails due to a technical error on our end, the deducted credits will be automatically refunded to your account. Credits are non-refundable for successfully completed actions. Please review our Refund Policy for full details.
