Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using AskBuddha-AI, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Purpose of the Service
AskBuddha-AI provides AI-generated responses inspired by Buddhist teachings, contemplative practice, mindfulness, compassion, and reflective inquiry. The service is designed for personal reflection, spiritual exploration, journaling support, and general educational use.
Important Disclaimer
AskBuddha-AI does not represent the actual words, consciousness, voice, authority, or presence of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, any Buddhist lineage, teacher, temple, monastery, or religious organization.
Responses are generated by artificial intelligence. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, inappropriate for your circumstances, or inconsistent with specific Buddhist traditions. You are responsible for evaluating responses and seeking qualified guidance when needed.
Not Professional Advice
AskBuddha-AI is not a substitute for professional counseling, psychotherapy, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, crisis support, or guidance from qualified religious teachers. If you are experiencing a medical, mental health, safety, or emergency situation, contact emergency services or a qualified professional immediately.
User Responsibilities
You agree to use AskBuddha-AI lawfully, respectfully, and responsibly. You may not use the service to:
- Harass, threaten, exploit, or harm others.
- Generate hateful, violent, abusive, or illegal content.
- Seek instructions for wrongdoing, self-harm, or harm to others.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
- Interfere with, reverse engineer, overload, or disrupt the service.
- Use the service in violation of applicable laws or platform rules.
AI-Generated Content
AskBuddha-AI uses AI systems to generate responses based on user prompts and configured guidance. AI responses should be treated as reflective content, not authoritative instruction. We do not guarantee that AI-generated responses will be accurate, complete, safe, or suitable for every user.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity that occurs under your account. We may suspend or terminate access if we believe your use violates these Terms or creates risk for the service, other users, or third parties.
Intellectual Property
The AskBuddha-AI name, website, app design, software, branding, text, and other service materials are owned by or licensed to AskBuddha-AI and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or exploit service materials except as permitted by law or with written permission.

Privacy
Your use of AskBuddha-AI is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect information.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
