terms

Plus1 is in early access. by using the service you agree not to abuse it: no spam, no harassment, no illegal activity. we may change, pause, or shut down the product as we learn.

who can use Plus1. you must be at least 18 years old and use a U.S. phone number. by using the service, you confirm you meet both. if you don't, please don't use Plus1.

SMS and group chats. adding Plus1's phone number to a group chat is how consent happens for that thread. the person who adds Plus1 agrees that messages sent to the thread — from them and from anyone else in the group, once Plus1 has been added — may be received and processed by Plus1, including by automated systems and third-party AI providers, so the bot can operate and reply. everyone else in the chat consents the same way, by staying in a chat that includes Plus1 after it has introduced itself.

introduction, STOP, HELP. the first message Plus1 sends in a new chat is an introduction: it identifies as an AI, names the person who added it, and tells everyone they can reply STOP to opt out or HELP for info. until a given person sends a message of their own after that introduction, Plus1 will not quote them or reply about them by name — so anyone who isn't comfortable has a clean chance to opt out, or to ask the group to remove the bot, before their content is processed beyond delivery. STOP and HELP work in any chat, at any time. msg & data rates may apply.

your messages and our use of them. you keep ownership of what you send. to run Plus1, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, transmit, process, and display that content only to provide and improve the service — including routing through telecommunications carriers and processing through third-party AI inference services so the bot can reply. we do not sell your messages. we use subprocessors (for example cloud hosting, SMS/MMS providers, and AI APIs) only as needed to deliver the service. if we ever use message content for anything beyond running and improving Plus1, we’ll update this page and our privacy summary before we do.

AI outputs. Plus1 can be wrong, incomplete, or inappropriate. you're responsible for what you and your group send and for how you act on what Plus1 says. nothing Plus1 says is professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.

PLUS1 AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DON'T WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PLUS1'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) U.S. $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DON'T ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.

you agree to defend and indemnify Plus1, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.

these terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. you agree that disputes will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

we'll post fuller terms before we charge money or do a broad public launch. we may update this page before then; the version live on the site when you use the service is the one that applies, and continued use after a change means you accept it.
