So yes obviously you can do what you want as long as you abide by terms of service, but the terms of service does NOT allow you to resell the API.

I think what you meant is "you aren't allowed to expose the access to the API to end users", which is a fair condition IMHO.
You're still allowed to expose the functionality (ie. build a SaaS or AI assistant powered by OpenRouter API), just don't build a proxy.
