Draft — requires legal review

These terms are a starting point written by the developer, not a lawyer. Liability limits, consumer-rights carve-outs, refund rules and governing law all need review against the jurisdictions Karot is sold in before Karot is offered for sale.

Terms of Service

Draft — not yet effective.

1. Agreement

By installing or using the Karot Android app, Chrome extension, Mac or iOS companion, or by calling api.karotapp.com (together, "Karot"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Karot. Contact: [CONTACT EMAIL — to be confirmed before publishing].

2. What Karot does

Karot reads your Google Contacts with your permission, helps you track when you last spoke with someone, and generates conversation suggestions using a third-party AI provider. Karot stores its metadata inside your own Google Contacts; we do not operate a contact database on your behalf.

3. Your Google account

You are responsible for the Google account you connect and for having the right to store the notes you write about other people. Karot writes to the notes field of your contacts; if you use Karot on several devices at once, the last write wins and an edit can be overwritten. Keep your own backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.

4. Acceptable use

  • Do not use Karot to harass, stalk, profile or build dossiers on people.
  • Do not attempt to extract API credentials, exceed published rate limits, or resell access to the API.
  • Do not submit content that is unlawful, or that you are not permitted to process.
  • Do not attempt to manipulate the AI provider through prompt content or otherwise interfere with the service.

We may suspend or revoke access that breaches these rules or that threatens the availability or cost of the service.

5. AI-generated content

Suggestions are produced by an automated system and may be inaccurate, outdated or inappropriate. Read them before you act on them. You are responsible for anything you send to another person.

6. Payment

[PLACEHOLDER — pricing, billing cycle, trial, refund and cancellation terms to be completed before launch, together with the payment processor's required disclosures.]

7. Availability

Karot is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. There is no uptime commitment. Features that depend on Google's APIs may change or stop working when those APIs change.

8. Warranties and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Karot is provided without warranties of any kind, and our aggregate liability for any claim relating to Karot is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory consumer rights. [Review required — enforceability varies by jurisdiction.]

9. Termination

You may stop using Karot at any time by uninstalling it and revoking its access to your Google account. We may terminate access for breach of these terms or if we discontinue the service; if we discontinue a paid service, we will provide reasonable notice.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be posted here before they take effect, and continued use after that date means you accept them.

11. Governing law

[PLACEHOLDER — governing law and venue to be set with legal advice.]

12. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what data Karot handles and forms part of these terms.
