ShopAIKey Review (2026)
A Vietnam-market key shop (VietQR, Telegram delivery, anonymous purchase supported) with the bluntest refund clause of the seven: 'No refunds in any case', including unused credit.
At a glance
| Domain | shopaikey.com |
|---|---|
| Registered | 2025-12-07 — Registrar: Namecheap. Registrant: 'Withheld for Privacy ehf' (Iceland privacy proxy). Checked 2026-08-07. |
| Legal entity | Not disclosed — terms and privacy pages state only the brand name. No legal entity, no address, no Vietnamese tax ID (MST) or Ministry of Industry and Trade registration shown. Governing law: Vietnam (terms §10). |
| Target market | Vietnam (VietQR payment, ~3,250 VND = $1 credit, Telegram bot key delivery; Vietnamese-first site with /en version) |
| Payment | VietQR bank transfer or crypto (USDT on Solana or BNB Chain, per its own llms.txt), Telegram bot delivery; supports account-less anonymous purchase. Its Terms §3 (captured 2026-09-23) still state 'All top-up transactions are processed via VietQR' — the terms have not caught up with the crypto option. |
| Pricing claims | Sells prepaid AI API keys/credits priced in VND, marketed as heavily discounted. |
| Refund grade | F — Explicit no-refund-in-any-case clause covering even unused credit. |
Refund policy, in their own words
“No refunds in any case: bought but not used, do not know how to use it, changed your mind, etc. The only exception is when the key genuinely cannot be used due to an error on our side.” Source: https://shopaikey.com/en — captured 2026-09-22
Terms §3 (Vietnamese, translated): no refund for used credit; no refund in any case even for unused credit; sole exception is a key rendered entirely unusable by a system-side error.
Notable findings from published pages
- Homepage 'read before you buy' box states: 'No refunds in any case: bought but not used, do not know how to use it, changed your mind, etc.' (captured 2026-08-07).
- Supports buying and topping up without an account; its docs warn that if you lose your key or transfer with a wrong reference, 'verification will require additional proof of payment' (captured 2026-08-07).
- The visible contact link is Cloudflare-obfuscated (/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) on its pages, but the same address appears in plaintext in its own JSON-LD structured data and in its llms.txt: [email protected] (captured 2026-09-23). No legal entity, address, or Vietnamese tax ID is published.
- Governing law is Vietnam per terms §10; domain is registered through a privacy proxy (whois now shows a US-based proxy entity; our 2026-08-07 capture showed an Iceland one — likely a change in Namecheap's proxy provider, not the registrant).
- Its own /en/models page publicly labels four of its 18 pricing groups 'Claude API Reverse', 'Codex Only', 'Claude Code by Codex (CC Client Only)', and 'Claude Code by DeepSeek (CC Client Only)' (captured 2026-09-23) — the latter two list Claude model IDs underneath them. These are the site's own group labels; we have not tested what actually serves requests in them.
