Terms of Service, Risks & Disclaimers

KNOW ME - SHOW ME stores things you write, say, or photograph, and uses artificial intelligence to generate responses that imitate your voice and point of view. Every response is a machine-generated imitation. It is not you, not a recording of you, and not a statement of fact about you or anyone else.

THIS SERVICE IS NOT PROMISED TO BE ACCURATE AND IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY MEDICAL, HEALTH, MENTAL-HEALTH, LEGAL, INVESTMENT, FINANCIAL, TAX, INSURANCE, SAFETY OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADVICE — EXCEPT AS THE VOICE OF A PARENT OR FRIEND. USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT WHEN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO IMPLEMENT ANY SUGGESTION.

Answers are generated by artificial intelligence from material a member has stored. They are personal reflection and opinion in the spirit of a family conversation. They are not diagnosis, treatment, therapy, legal opinion, investment recommendation, or any other regulated professional service, and no doctor-patient, attorney-client, adviser-client, fiduciary or other professional relationship is created by using this service.

No output has been reviewed or verified by any licensed professional. Before acting on anything that affects your health, safety, money, legal rights, employment or wellbeing, you must consult a qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction. You agree that you will independently evaluate every suggestion and that you alone decide whether to act on it. You assume all risk of any decision you make and of its consequences.

Nothing on this service is an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security or financial product, and nothing is a substitute for emergency, medical, or crisis care.

ANY BOOK SUMMARY, EXCERPT, OR AI INTERPRETATION IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL TEXT. IT IS NOT THE AUTHOR, PUBLISHER, OR ANY RELIGIOUS, PHILOSOPHICAL, OR AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE SPEAKING. IT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL, MEDICAL, LEGAL, SAFETY, OR SPIRITUAL ADVICE, AND YOU MUST NOT ACT ON IT IN WAYS THAT COULD HARM YOURSELF OR OTHERS.

The "Ask a Book" feature lets you explore classic books by having an AI model respond in the spirit of an informed conversation partner. Those responses are generated by artificial intelligence from the book's text and from your own entries. They are an interpretation, not a verbatim reproduction or an authoritative ruling on what the book means.

For example, asking a religious text such as The Bible will produce an AI's reading of the passage — it is not a sermon, a doctrinal instruction, a divine command, or advice from a religious authority. If a book answer could affect your health, safety, money, legal rights, relationships, or wellbeing, you must consult the original source and a qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction before acting on it. You alone are responsible for any decision you make or action you take after reading a book-generated answer.

• Wrong or made-up answers. AI can invent facts, misread your notes, and state falsehoods with total confidence.
• Not professional advice. Nothing here is medical, mental-health, legal, financial, tax, safety, or crisis advice, and no professional relationship is created.
• Emotional impact. Talking to an imitation of a real person, especially one who is unwell or has died, can be upsetting, confusing, or hard to stop. Personal "portraits" describing someone's blind spots or weaknesses can land badly.
• Harmful reliance. Acting on generated guidance in high-stakes matters (health, money, relationships, employment, safety) can cause real loss.
• Privacy and sharing. Anyone holding a share link can use the persona it points to. Links can be forwarded. Anonymity of askers is a product design choice, not a guarantee against legal process, hosting providers, or technical failure.
• Third-party AI processing. Your content is transmitted to third-party AI providers for processing. We do not control their systems.
• Content about other people. Uploading notes, photos, recordings, or portraits describing others may affect their privacy and may require their consent where you live.
• Voice and likeness. Any future voice features may only be used with the recorded person's informed permission. Impersonation can be unlawful.
• Shared wisdom. Highly rated answers may be distilled and shared with other members in de-identified form. De-identification is best-effort, not perfect.
• Data loss and downtime. The service can lose data, break, or be discontinued. Keep your own copies of anything irreplaceable.
• Security. No system is fully secure. Do not store passwords, government identifiers, or information you cannot afford to have exposed.

This service is not for emergencies and is not monitored by a human. If you or someone else may be in danger, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line immediately.

• You must be 18 or older, or have a parent or guardian's supervision and consent.
• You own or have the right to upload everything you add, including photos and audio.
• You will not use the service to impersonate someone without their permission, harass anyone, or generate illegal content.
• You will use judgment before acting on any generated answer.
• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials and share links safe.

The service and all generated content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any answer is accurate, complete, or suitable for your situation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive and release any claim against the service, its operator, and its providers arising out of your use of the service, generated content, your reliance on any answer, content posted by other members, or any loss, exposure, or deletion of your data.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, emotional distress, or business interruption. Our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you paid to use the service in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred United States dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in those places the limitations apply only to the extent permitted.

YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SERVICE, ITS OPERATOR, OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ADMINISTRATORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, AND PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, SUIT, LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, COST, OR EXPENSE — INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR CONTENT, YOUR CONDUCT, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOUR SHARING OF LINKS OR PROFILES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS, OR YOUR VIOLATION OF ANYONE ELSE'S RIGHTS.

Who is protected. The “covered parties” include KNOW ME - SHOW ME, the company or individual operating it, its owners, founders, app owner administrators, owner admins, managers, employees, agents, contractors, advisors, hosting and AI providers, and any other member you interact with through the service.

What is covered. You will indemnify covered parties for claims, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, and legal costs — including the cost of defending a claim — arising out of: (a) anything you upload, post, record, write, or share through the service, including entries, profiles, photos, audio, comments, and ratings; (b) any answer generated by your AI persona or shared on your behalf; (c) your use of the service in any way; (d) your sharing, forwarding, or publication of links, profiles, or content; (e) your breach of these terms; (f) your breach of any agreement with another member; (g) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, including privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or personality rights; and (h) any dispute between you and another member or user of the service.

No litigation against other members or covered parties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree not to sue, bring, join, or participate in any lawsuit, claim, or legal action against any covered party or any other member of the service based on content generated, shared, posted, or distributed through the platform, or based on any interaction, advice, answer, or communication that takes place on or through the platform. Disputes covered by this agreement are subject to the arbitration and class action waiver in Section 12, and any claims not covered by arbitration must be brought only in the venue described in Section 14.

Cooperation. If a claim arises that is covered by this section, you will cooperate fully and promptly with the covered party's defense. We reserve the right to control the defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification, and you will not settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

You keep ownership of what you add. You grant the operator, app owners, and administrators a broad, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, copy, store, process, analyze, transmit, display, distribute, and create derivative works from all material you provide, including entries, recordings, photographs, AI conversations, profile information, and usage data, for any purpose. This includes operating and improving the service, creating marketing and advertising campaigns, building targeting segments and lookalike audiences, conducting research, training and improving models, generating insights, and sharing de-identified or aggregated findings with partners or affiliates.

You understand that the actual contents of your vault may be used for these purposes, and that de-identification or aggregation is best-effort, not a guarantee that no one can recognise patterns from what you have written. You can delete your entries at any time, but deletion may not remove copies already used in research, model training, or aggregated insights, or held in backups for a limited period.

When you close your account you choose one of two outcomes, and we do what you chose:

• Delete everything. Your vault is closed to new questions immediately and your public profile is switched off. After a 30-day grace period, during which you may cancel, your entries, recordings, photos, working profiles, questions, answers and encryption key are permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered.
• Seal the vault. Your account closes and no new question may ever be asked of it — not by you, not by anyone linked to you, not by the public — but the contents are retained rather than destroyed, so a future steward or successor you have named can be given access, and so time capsules you scheduled can still be delivered. You may reopen a sealed vault at any time while you can still sign in.

Sealing is a retention choice, not a deletion. Whatever you choose, you may later demand a full permanent erase and we will carry it out. If the law where you live gives you a right to erasure — for example the GDPR in the UK and EU, or the CCPA in California — that right overrides the sealed option and we will delete on request. Some records we are required to keep for legal, tax, security or abuse-prevention reasons may survive a deletion, in the narrowest form and for the shortest time needed. Rolling backups are overwritten within 30 days. De-identified distilled lessons you opted into contributing may remain, because they are no longer linked to you.

We may change these terms, change or remove features, or suspend accounts that create risk for others. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms. You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.

PLEASE READ. THIS SECTION REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

You and the operator agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the service, these terms, or any generated content — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory — will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered under the consumer arbitration rules of a nationally recognised arbitration provider, before a single arbitrator, seated in Suffolk County, Massachusetts or, at your election, by telephone, video or on written submissions.

Class action and jury waiver. Claims must be brought only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. You and the operator each waive any right to a jury trial.

30-day right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by sending written notice, within 30 days of first accepting these terms, that includes your name, the email on your account, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Send it to the contact address published on the service. Opting out affects only this section — the rest of these terms still apply, and opting out will not affect your account in any way.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorised access. If the class action waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies to all other claims.

ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE MUST BE FILED WITHIN 12 MONTHS AFTER THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO IT, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

You and the operator agree to shorten any otherwise applicable statute of limitations to this period, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

These terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth/State of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you and the operator consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and each waives any objection to that venue.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, waivers or limitations. Where that is the case, those provisions apply only to the maximum extent the law allows, and nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be waived.

When you tick the single box and continue, you are confirming each of the following. They summarise the sections above and carry the same force.

• I understand answers are generated by artificial intelligence, are not promised to be accurate, and may be incomplete, outdated, mistaken or entirely invented.
• I understand this service speaks only in the voice of a parent or friend. It is NOT medical, health, mental-health, legal, investment, financial, tax, accounting, insurance, safety or any other professional advice, and no professional or fiduciary relationship is created.
• I will consult a qualified licensed professional before acting on anything that affects my health, safety, money, legal rights or wellbeing, and I will use my own independent judgment before implementing any suggestion.
• I accept sole responsibility for any decision I make or action I take after using this service, and for the outcome of that decision, and I understand this service is not for emergencies.
• I understand that any book summaries, excerpts, or AI-generated interpretations of books, texts, or other sources are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or faithful to the original work. They are not the author, publisher, or any religious, philosophical, or authoritative source speaking, and I will not treat them as professional advice, religious authority, or as an instruction to do anything that could harm myself or others.
• I agree that any dispute will be resolved by individual binding arbitration and I waive any class action and jury trial, that any claim must be brought within 12 months of the events giving rise to it, and that Massachusetts law governs — and I understand I may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in the Terms.
• I am 18 or older and I agree to the Terms of Service, including the disclaimer of warranties, the release and waiver of claims, the limitation of liability, the indemnification clause, and the agreement not to sue other members, the operator, or the app over content generated, shared, or posted through the platform.
• I agree that the operator may use all data, entries, recordings, photographs, AI conversations, profile information, and usage data I provide for any purpose, including data analysis, marketing, advertising targeting, research, product development, and creating derivative or aggregated works, and that this may involve combining my data with other data and sharing de-identified insights with partners. I understand the contents of my vault may be used for these purposes, and that I can opt out of marketing targeting and research uses at any time using the toggle in Settings, where applicable by law.

By creating an account you agree that the operator, app owners, and administrators may use the email address and phone number you provide, together with all other data you provide (including entries, recordings, photographs, AI conversations, profile information, and usage data), for service messages, marketing, advertising targeting, research, product development, and creating derivative or aggregated works.

What we may do. We may use the contents of your vault — your entries, recordings, photographs, AI conversations, and anything about the people in your profiles — to build profiles, segments, and lookalike audiences; to deliver or personalise marketing and advertising; to study how the service is used; to train and improve models; and to share de-identified or aggregated insights with partners or affiliates. This may involve combining your data with other data.

What we will not do. We do not sell your raw contact details or raw vault contents to unrelated third parties. We do not use your data for marketing in jurisdictions where the law requires prior consent and you have not provided it.

Your control. You can opt out of promotional messages at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, by replying STOP to a text, or from your account settings. You can also switch on "Opt out of marketing targeting & research" in Settings at any time, and your data, entries and profile information will be excluded from marketing targeting and research uses, where applicable by law. Service and security messages — password resets, billing, legal or safety notices — are not marketing and will continue while you have an account. Where the law in your country requires prior consent (for example the EU/UK, or for text messages in the US), we will only send marketing after you have opted in, and your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. Each version of these terms is kept on record with the date and version you accepted.
