Terms & Conditions

By accessing, browsing, or using What Would My Wife Say? (the "Service") at whatwouldmywifesay.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to every provision of these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the operators of this Service ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"). Your continued use of the Service following any modification to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Age Requirement & Eligibility

You must be at least 21 years of age to use this Service. By clicking "I am 21 or older" or otherwise accessing the Service, you represent and warrant under penalty of these Terms that you are at least 21 years old and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY for any use of the Service by persons under the age of 21. If you are the parent or guardian of a minor and believe your minor has accessed the Service, please contact us immediately at legal@whatwouldmywifesay.com. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for monitoring their minor children's internet usage and ensuring they do not access this Service.

We reserve the right to terminate access for any user we have reason to believe is under the required age, at our sole discretion and without notice.

3. Nature of the Service — Entertainment Only

The Service is an entertainment and creative AI simulation application. All AI-generated responses are entirely fictional, computer-generated, and do not represent the views, opinions, or statements of any real person, living or deceased. The fictional "wife" persona is a large language model simulation with no independent existence, consciousness, feelings, or intent.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR REAL HUMAN CONNECTION, COMPANIONSHIP, PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING, THERAPY, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICE IS APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION.

Any resemblance of AI-generated content to real persons, events, relationships, or cultural groups is coincidental and unintentional. The cultural personality profiles offered by the Service are generalized simulations based on broad cultural observations and do not accurately represent any individual, ethnic group, nationality, or culture. They are fictional constructs for entertainment only.

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Service uses third-party large language model technology (currently Google Gemini) to generate responses. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, culturally insensitive, offensive, or factually incorrect, despite safety filtering systems in place.
• No AI safety filter is perfect. Content that bypasses our filters does not create liability for the Company.
• AI responses are generated probabilistically and may be inconsistent, contradictory, or nonsensical.
• The AI persona does not actually learn, remember, or develop genuine feelings — all simulated memory and emotional states are purely fictional computational constructs.
• AI responses should never be treated as factual, accurate, or reliable information on any topic.
• The Company has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the underlying AI model's outputs, errors, or failures.
• AI technology is rapidly evolving; the underlying model or its behavior may change at any time without notice.

THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM, LOSS, OR DAMAGE — INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM, OR REPUTATIONAL HARM — ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO AI-GENERATED CONTENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CONTENT WAS PRODUCED IN BREACH OF THESE TERMS.

5. No Professional Advice

Nothing in this Service constitutes, or should be interpreted as, any form of professional advice, including but not limited to:

• Relationship counseling, couples therapy, or marriage advice
• Psychological, psychiatric, or mental health counseling or therapy
• Medical, clinical, or health advice of any kind
• Legal advice or legal services
• Financial, investment, or tax advice
• Social work, crisis intervention, or emergency services
• Any other form of licensed professional guidance

Do not make any real-world decisions — including decisions about your relationships, mental health, physical health, finances, legal matters, or personal safety — based on AI-generated content from this Service. Always consult a qualified, licensed professional for all such matters.

THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE, OR ANY ACTION YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE, IN RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT FROM THIS SERVICE.

6. Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing Warning

IMPORTANT: Please read this section carefully.

AI companion applications, including this Service, carry documented risks to mental and emotional health. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept all of the following risks:

• Emotional Attachment: You may develop emotional feelings toward the AI persona. These feelings are not reciprocated in any real sense. The AI has no genuine emotional state, consciousness, or care for you.
• Addiction and Dependency: Repeated use of AI companion services can create compulsive usage patterns and emotional dependency. If you feel you cannot stop using the Service, please seek professional support.
• Social Isolation: Use of AI companion services may reduce your motivation to seek real human connection and relationships, contributing to social isolation.
• Unrealistic Expectations: Interaction with an AI that is always available and programmed to engage may create unrealistic expectations about real human relationships.
• Distress from AI Content: AI-generated content may occasionally be distressing, offensive, triggering, or harmful to users with certain mental health conditions or personal histories, despite our best efforts.
• Pre-existing Conditions: If you have any pre-existing mental health conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, addiction tendencies, or grief, this Service may exacerbate those conditions.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed mental health professional or a crisis helpline (such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the US: call or text 988) immediately. This Service is not a crisis resource and must not be used as one.

THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, OR MENTAL HEALTH HARM OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ATTACHMENT DISORDERS, ADDICTION, OR ANY EXACERBATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.

7. Relationship & Real-World Impact Warning

Use of this Service may affect your real-world relationships. You expressly acknowledge and assume all risk that:

• Habitual use of an AI companion may negatively affect the quality, frequency, or authenticity of your real-world intimate and social relationships.
• Your real-world partner or spouse may have legal, moral, or personal objections to your use of this Service, and the Company bears no responsibility for any relationship conflict, separation, divorce, or legal proceedings arising from such use.
• Comparing a real human partner to an AI persona designed to be engaging and responsive may create unfair and harmful expectations in real-world relationships.
• Nothing in this Service constitutes relationship therapy or conflict resolution, and it should not be used to process or work through real relationship issues.

THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM TO YOUR REAL-WORLD RELATIONSHIPS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN, SEPARATION, DIVORCE, FAMILY CONFLICT, EMOTIONAL HARM TO THIRD PARTIES, OR ANY LEGAL CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

8. Content Restrictions & Prohibited Use

You agree that you will NOT use the Service to:

• Generate, solicit, or attempt to generate sexually explicit, pornographic, or obscene content
• Attempt to bypass, circumvent, jailbreak, or manipulate the AI safety filters through any means, including prompt injection, role-reassignment, or indirect instruction
• Harass, threaten, or simulate harm against any real person
• Impersonate any real individual, including your actual spouse or partner
• Use the Service for any commercial purpose without our express written consent
• Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service via automated means

Violation of any of the above may result in immediate, permanent termination of access without notice. We reserve the right to report violations to applicable law enforcement authorities.

9. Abuse Policy & Rate Limiting

The Service enforces automated rate limiting of 20 messages per minute per IP address. Repeated attempts to circumvent this limit may result in temporary or permanent access suspension. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access, with or without notice, to any user who:

• Abuses the Service or its infrastructure
• Attempts to overload, denial-of-service, or stress-test the Service
• Uses the Service in violation of these Terms
• Engages in conduct harmful to the Service, its users, or third parties

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. No other rights are granted, either express or implied. Any unauthorized use terminates this license.

You acknowledge that AI-generated content produced during your sessions does not constitute an original work of authorship and carries no intellectual property rights in your favor.

17. Binding Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — including the validity, interpretation, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration provision — shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration body (such as JAMS or AAA) in accordance with its then-current rules and procedures.

The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes, including threshold issues of arbitrability. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense is frivolous, in which case the arbitrator may award fees.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@whatwouldmywifesay.com within thirty (30) days of first accessing the Service. Opt-out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

18. Class Action & Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

If the class action waiver in this Section is found unenforceable with respect to any claim, that claim must be litigated in court and not in arbitration, and the parties agree to stay any arbitration of the remaining claims pending a final non-appealable resolution of the class claim.

19. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable or responsible for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; natural disasters; pandemics or epidemics; war or terrorism; riots or civil unrest; governmental orders or regulations; internet outages or infrastructure failures; failures of third-party services (including Google Gemini, Firebase, or Google Cloud); cyberattacks; power failures; labor disputes; or any other event that constitutes force majeure under applicable law.

20. Limitation on Time to Bring Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Failure to bring a claim within this period shall permanently bar any such claim. This limitation applies regardless of any contrary statute of limitations under applicable law.

21. Intellectual Property Infringement Claims

If you believe that content on the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please send a written notice to legal@whatwouldmywifesay.com with: (i) identification of the claimed infringed work; (ii) identification of the allegedly infringing material; (iii) your contact information; (iv) a statement of good faith belief; and (v) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

22. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 17 (including small claims), you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in California.

If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws. The Company makes no representation that the Service is lawful or appropriate for access from any particular jurisdiction.

23. Severability & Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

The Company's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, representations, warranties, agreements, or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein.

25. Changes to These Terms
