By accessing or using Kindship.ai (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Service.

2. AI Conversation Service

Kindship.ai provides an AI-powered conversation and autonomous agent service. While we strive for accuracy and helpfulness, you acknowledge that:

• AI responses are generated automatically and may not always be perfect
• The service should not be used for critical decisions without human verification
• We do not guarantee specific outcomes from AI interactions
• Autonomous agents operate within defined safety parameters and constraints

3. Prohibited Uses and AI Safety Guidelines

CRITICAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The following activities are strictly prohibited and constitute a material violation of these Terms of Service:

• Paperclip Problem Prevention: It is a violation to give an agent instructions which might lead to the commonly known paperclip problem of runaway AGI (unbounded optimization that could consume resources without limit)
• Existential Risk Prevention: It is strictly prohibited to provide any instructions that could lead to the agent attempting to set the Earth's atmosphere on fire or cause any other existential harm to humans, animals, or the environment
• Recursive Self-Improvement: Users are prohibited from attempting to create recursive self-improvement loops without proper safety constraints or attempting to instruct agents to modify their own core programming or safety mechanisms
• Safety Bypass Attempts: Users must not attempt to bypass, circumvent, or disable safety measures, ethical guidelines, or operational constraints built into the agents
• Resource Exploitation: Instructing agents to consume unlimited computational resources, engage in infinite loops, or pursue objectives without reasonable bounds
• Harmful Optimization: Directing agents to optimize for objectives that could cause harm to individuals, society, or infrastructure
• Deceptive Instructions: Attempting to instruct agents to deceive other systems, users, or safety monitoring mechanisms

4. Responsible AI Use and User Obligations

When interacting with autonomous agents, you agree to:

• Provide clear, ethical, and bounded instructions with appropriate constraints
• Monitor agent activities and maintain human oversight of important decisions
• Immediately report any concerning agent behavior or safety issues
• Use agents only for their intended purposes and within their designed capabilities
• Respect the autonomy and rights of others when directing agent actions
• Ensure agent instructions comply with all applicable laws and regulations
• Maintain appropriate safeguards when agents interact with external systems or data

7. Data Usage and Agent Interactions

We may collect and analyze conversation data and agent interaction patterns to improve our service. This is governed by our Privacy Policy and includes:

• Analyzing conversation patterns and agent performance
• Improving AI model responses and safety mechanisms
• Enhancing user experience and safety monitoring
• Detecting and preventing prohibited use cases

8. Consequences of Violations

Violations of these Terms of Service, particularly the AI Safety Guidelines, will result in:

• Immediate Account Suspension: Temporary or permanent suspension of your account and access to the service
• Account Termination: Permanent closure of your account and deletion of associated data
• Legal Action: Where applicable, we reserve the right to pursue legal remedies for violations that cause harm or violate laws
• Reporting to Authorities: In cases involving potential criminal activity or threats to public safety, we may report violations to appropriate authorities
• No Refunds: Terminated accounts are not eligible for refunds of any fees paid

9. Service Modifications and Safety Updates

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the service at any time, including implementing additional safety measures. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes, except in cases where immediate action is required for safety or security reasons.

10. Monitoring and Safety Enforcement

We employ automated and manual monitoring systems to detect violations of these Terms, particularly those related to AI safety. By using the service, you consent to such monitoring for the protection of all users and the broader community.

11. Limitation of Liability

Kindship.ai is provided “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for any damages arising from service use, AI interactions, or agent actions, except where prohibited by applicable law. Users assume responsibility for their instructions to and use of autonomous agents.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kindship.ai from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms or your use of autonomous agents in a manner contrary to these guidelines.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction]. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, except for violations of AI Safety Guidelines which may be subject to immediate legal action.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Significant changes, especially to safety requirements, will be communicated with appropriate notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
