terms of service

texts from your pet is an ai companion. every message from "your pet" is generated by ai (google's gemini), performing a personality that you helped describe. it is not your actual pet, it cannot consent, and it cannot make promises.

memorial mode is a place to keep talking to a pet who's gone — gently, honestly, and never instead of grief, just beside it. it's a comfort, not a reunion.

it is not medical advice, not veterinary advice, and not a crisis service. for anything real — health, emergencies, the hard 2am moments — please talk to real professionals and real people. the pet would want that. probably. if it understood.

you need to be 13 or older, and if you're a minor, a parent needs to be okay with this. you're responsible for the phone number you give us and for the texts sent from it.

don't use the service for anything illegal, harassing, or abusive — to humans, or as an excuse to torture the poor ai. don't flood the line with automated spam. we can pause or remove a line that breaks the law or ruins things for everyone else.

your pet replies only when you text first. we never send you anything out of the blue. imessage is free over data; if the line ever falls back to sms, your carrier's normal message rates may apply. we don't charge you per message and never will.

the founding six humans get in free, forever, founders' honor. after that it's $3.99/month — the receipt is public on the homepage, down to what the phone line costs. cancel anytime from your end by emailing us; no dark patterns, no "are you sure you want to leave" maze.

prices and features may evolve while we're small, but the founding promise doesn't. if billing ever applies to you, we'll tell you before we ever charge you.

your messages, photos, and your pet's story belong to you. by using the service, you give us permission to process them for exactly one thing: running the service (see the privacy policy). the website, the writing, the brand, and the code are ours.

this product was built in a weekend by two humans and their rottweiler's memory. it's provided as-is, with no promise of perfect uptime. we'll do our best, fix things fast, and if the line ever goes down, we'll say so loudly instead of quietly. features may come and go while we're small.

the service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. to the maximum extent allowed by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages. nothing in these terms limits any liability that can't be limited by law. we wrote that sentence so a lawyer would let us keep the rest of this page lowercase.

talk to us first — pras@hellogoddo.com. we're reachable, we read everything, and we'd rather fix the thing than argue about it.

we may update these terms as the product grows; the "last updated" date up top is the record. continued use after a change means you're okay with it — and if you're not, email us and we'll delete everything, no hard feelings.
