terms, in plain words.

using speaksafe.space means agreeing to these. they're short on purpose.

1. who can use this

mental health doesn't see an age. you can use SpeakSafe at any age, with one rule: you use it in ways that don't harm yourself or others. one account per person.

• 13 and above can sign up on their own.
• under 13 can sign up too — but a parent or trusted adult should know about the account and review what's shared.
• everyone under 18 gets extra safeguards: child-specific helplines pinned, the AI is even more careful, additional concern chips for bullying / unsafe home / online threats, and (optional) a trusted-adult contact you choose.

if you're a teen and don't feel safe telling a parent about this account, that's okay. you can still reach the safest people — Childline India 1098 is 24/7 and free.

2. what we provide

• an AI companion you can talk to, in your own time
• a private journal that stays in your account
• a directory of verified clinics, and an opt-in path to share a summary of how you're feeling with one of them
• useful safety links (emergency lines, etc.)

3. what we don't provide

• medical diagnosis or treatment
• prescriptions
• emergency response or crisis intervention
• guaranteed availability — the AI sometimes goes offline; we try to keep it up

4. AI limitations

the AI companion can be wrong, miss context, or give bad advice. don't use it as the only source of guidance for medical or legal decisions. if something it says concerns you, treat it as a starting point for talking with a real human professional — not a final answer.

5. your responsibilities

• be honest about your age
• don't impersonate someone else
• don't try to break or abuse the service (we'll suspend accounts that do)
• if you ever feel you're a danger to yourself or others, call an emergency line — don't rely on the AI

6. clinics + sharing

when you ask us to share a summary with a clinic, the clinic decides whether and when to reach out. SpeakSafe doesn't guarantee a callback, doesn't moderate the conversation between you and the clinic, and isn't responsible for the care the clinic provides. clinics on SpeakSafe are independently verified for credentials — they're not employees of SpeakSafe.

7. price

SpeakSafe is free for users. forever. clinics fund the platform. nothing inside the user app is ever a paywall.

8. account closure

you can delete your account at any time from the edit profile screen, or by emailing support@speaksafe.space. we may suspend accounts that abuse the service, attempt to extract data they shouldn't, or violate these terms.

9. limitation of liability

to the maximum extent allowed by law, SpeakSafe and its team aren't liable for any damages — direct, indirect, incidental — that arise from your use of the service. you use the AI companion at your own discretion and in your own time. this doesn't limit any rights you have under consumer-protection law.

10. governing law

these terms are governed by the laws of India. any disputes will be heard in the courts of [Bengaluru / your city — update before launch].

11. changes

we may update these terms. if the changes are material, we'll tell you before they take effect. continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the new terms.

12. contact

questions: support@speaksafe.space.
