The updated terms raise the minimum age to use Pika from 13 to 18 years old, which will restrict access for users aged 13-17. The revised payment model introduces prepaid credits as an alternative to subscriptions; credits are nonrefundable and expire 365 days after purchase. The terms now explicitly authorize organizational accounts with designated administrators who manage user access and bear responsibility for user compliance, and establish that organizations remain liable for all acts and omissions of authorized users. For API users, the terms introduce new requirements for API key management, confidentiality, and security, and authorize Pika to establish rate limits, throttle usage, or revoke API keys for security or suspected abuse.
