Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the SOLACE mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install, access, or use the App. The App is owned and operated by Irina Ovchinnikova (Lastname) ("Developer").

2. Nature of the Service

SOLACE is an AI companion application designed to provide a private space for self-reflection, journaling, and text-based conversation.

The App uses an on-device artificial intelligence language model to generate responses locally within the app environment. Core conversation data and AI processing remain on your device.

SOLACE is not a human companion, licensed professional, medical provider, therapist, emergency service, or crisis response service.

3. Important Health and Safety Disclaimer

SOLACE is not a medical device, healthcare provider, therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor, or emergency support service.

The App's AI-generated responses are for general informational, self-reflective, and companion-style conversation only. They do not constitute medical advice, psychological advice, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, or professional counseling.

Do not rely on SOLACE for urgent situations, health decisions, legal decisions, financial decisions, or any decision that may affect your safety or wellbeing.

If you are in immediate danger, experiencing an emergency, or need urgent help, contact local emergency services, a crisis hotline, or a qualified professional in your area.

4. AI Outputs and Hallucinations

You acknowledge that artificial intelligence models can generate inaccurate, incomplete, biased, misleading, inappropriate, or fabricated outputs. These errors are sometimes called "hallucinations."

You agree to use your own judgment and independently verify any facts, suggestions, or insights provided by the App before relying on them.

The Developer does not guarantee that AI-generated responses will be accurate, safe, helpful, complete, or suitable for your specific situation.

5. Optional Support Purchases and Tips

SOLACE may offer optional one-time support purchases and voluntary tips through Google Play.

These transactions are strictly voluntary. They are intended solely as a financial contribution to support the independent development and maintenance of the project.

Support purchases and tips do not unlock professional services, medical care, therapy, emergency support, guaranteed outcomes, or additional safety protections. They do not change the nature of SOLACE as a local AI companion application.

Payments, refunds, purchase processing, and related platform operations are handled according to Google Play policies and platform mechanisms.

6. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for how you use the App, how you interpret AI-generated responses, and any actions you take based on the App's content.

You are also responsible for securing your device and managing your local data. Because core app data is stored locally, data may be lost if your device is damaged, reset, lost, or if the App is deleted.

You should not enter information into the App that you are not comfortable storing locally on your device.

7. Data and Privacy

Your use of SOLACE is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

SOLACE is designed as a local-first application. Core conversation data, memories, summaries, profile data, user preferences, and AI processing are handled entirely on your device.

Some optional features, such as model downloads, language pack downloads, feedback email, and Google Play support transactions, may use network connectivity or platform services. These optional features do not require the Developer to receive or process your private conversation content.

8. No Warranty

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, reliable, or suitable for your needs. We also do not warrant that AI-generated responses will be correct, appropriate, safe, or useful.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App.

This includes, but is not limited to, damages related to reliance on AI-generated outputs, emotional distress, loss of local data, device issues, interruption of service, or misunderstanding of the App's purpose.

10. Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to use SOLACE.

If you are under 18, you should use the App only with the awareness and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in this document with an updated "Last Updated" date.

Your continued use of the App after changes are posted means that you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Summary

SOLACE is an AI companion, not a therapist, medical provider, or emergency service. The local AI model can make mistakes. In urgent situations, contact real emergency or crisis support. Optional support purchases or tips are voluntary and do not unlock professional services. Use the App at your own responsibility.
