Partner API Terms and Conditions
Conditions for reselling BuyCheapKeys products through the Partner API: prepaid balance, delivery, no-returns policy, security and acceptable use.
Scope and acceptance
These terms govern access to the BuyCheapKeys Partner API (the "API") by approved businesses ("Partners"). By applying, creating API keys or placing orders, the Partner accepts these terms together with the general Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy. In case of conflict, these terms prevail for API use.
Eligibility and approval
- 2.1Access is reserved to identifiable businesses (web shops, marketplaces, resellers, gaming communities). BuyCheapKeys may request company, tax and identity information at any time and may refuse or revoke access without stating reasons.
- 2.2The Partner must keep its account details accurate and is responsible for every action performed with its account and API keys.
Prepaid balance
- 3.1Orders are paid exclusively from the Partner's prepaid balance, in euros. Online top-ups made through the dashboard are credited automatically once the payment is confirmed by the payment provider; only the amount of a fully paid invoice is credited. The payment provider's fee (2.9% + €0.40) is added on top of the amount and is not credited. There is no minimum or maximum top-up. Other top-ups (such as bank transfer) are credited once the funds are effectively received, using the reference provided in the dashboard.
- 3.1.1Prices: unit prices are the same as on the BuyCheapKeys website at the time of the order. No per-order service fee is charged (wholesale prices do not include the service fee paid by retail customers on the website): the order total is the sum of the products.
- 3.2The balance does not bear interest, is not a deposit or e-money account and can only be used to buy products through the API. Withdrawal of an unused balance may be requested in writing and is processed after deducting any amounts owed, bank fees and pending disputes.
- 3.3Prices shown by the API are the Partner's unit prices at that moment and may change at any time. An order is only accepted at a unit price equal to or lower than the maxUnitPrice sent by the Partner.
Delivery and refunds (no returns)
- 4.1Products are delivered as keys, gift links, account credentials or activation links, as stated in the deliveryType of each product. Region and activation-country information is provided for each product and must be shown to end customers.
- 4.2Units that cannot be delivered are automatically credited back to the Partner's balance.
- 4.3Delivered products are final. Because each unit is purchased from the supplier at the moment of delivery, delivered keys, gift links, account credentials and activation links cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded, whether or not they have been redeemed or viewed.
- 4.4If a delivered product does not work, the Partner may file a claim within 7 days of delivery with the order id and evidence (screenshot of the activation error). BuyCheapKeys will forward it to the supplier and will only replace or credit the product if, and to the extent that, the supplier replaces or refunds it. No other refund is due.
Acceptable use
- 5.1Products must be resold to end customers only. Reselling to other marketplaces' seller programmes, bulk listing on auction or key-reseller platforms, or any use that breaches a publisher's or platform's terms is forbidden unless agreed in writing.
- 5.2The Partner must not use the API to test stolen payment methods, launder money, or circumvent regional restrictions in breach of applicable law.
- 5.3The Partner must respect rate limits, must not attempt to access other accounts' data and must report any security issue to partners@buycheapkeys.com without exploiting it.
Security of credentials
- 6.1API keys and webhook secrets are confidential. They must be stored server-side only and rotated immediately if exposure is suspected.
- 6.2Orders placed with valid credentials are deemed authorised by the Partner. BuyCheapKeys is not liable for losses caused by leaked credentials, but will help to block keys as soon as it is notified.
Limits, suspension and termination
- 7.1BuyCheapKeys sets per-order, daily and rate limits and may change them to protect the service.
- 7.2BuyCheapKeys may suspend access immediately in case of suspected fraud, abuse, chargebacks, breach of these terms or legal requirement. Either party may terminate with 7 days' written notice; any remaining balance is then handled as in clause 3.2.
Liability
The API is provided on an "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by law, BuyCheapKeys' total liability towards the Partner for any claim is limited to the amount paid by the Partner for the affected order(s), and it is not liable for indirect damages or loss of profit. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Data protection
BuyCheapKeys processes the Partner's account, order and technical data (including IP addresses) to provide the service, prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations, as described in the Privacy Policy. The Partner is the data controller for its own end customers.
Changes and governing law
BuyCheapKeys may update these terms with 15 days' notice by e-mail or in the dashboard; continued use after that date implies acceptance. These terms are governed by Spanish law, without prejudice to mandatory consumer or business protections that may apply.
