Therapa AI Disclaimer
Last Updated: 19 April 2025
CRISIS & EMERGENCY NOTICE READ FIRST
Therapa is not an emergency service. If you are thinking about suicide or self‑harm, if you believe you may harm another person, or if you are experiencing any other medical or mental‑health crisis:
- Call your local emergency number immediately (e.g., 911 in the U.S.).
- If you are in the U.S., you may also dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
- Contact the nearest hospital emergency department or a licensed mental‑health professional.
Do not rely on Therapa in any situation where professional, in‑person care is required.
1. Scope & Acceptance
This AI Disclaimer applies to every interaction you have with Therapa’s artificial‑intelligence features — including voice or text chats, mood analysis, automated messages, and any AI‑generated suggestions (collectively, “AI Content”). By accessing or using AI Content, you acknowledge and agree to the terms in this Disclaimer as well as Therapa’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If you do not accept any part of these terms, do not use Therapa’s AI features.
2. Nature of the AI Service
- Therapa uses large‑scale machine‑learning models supplied by third‑party providers to generate AI Content.
- AI Content is created algorithmically; it is not human advice, opinion, or diagnosis.
- The technology is experimental and may produce outputs that are incomplete, outdated, biased, or plainly incorrect (“hallucinations”).
3. No Professional–Patient Relationship
- Therapa is branded as an “AI therapist” for marketing shorthand only.
- Therapa, Gather Platforms Inc., and their personnel are not licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, or counsellors
- No interaction with Therapa, whether automated or augmented by human review, constitutes medical, psychological, or other professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
4. Limitations & Risks You Should Understand
| Limitation | Explanation |
|---|
| Knowledge Cut‑Off | The underlying models may be unaware of developments after their last training data. |
| Context Gaps | AI may misunderstand sarcasm, slang, cultural nuances, or ambiguity. |
| Emotional Simulation | The system can mimic empathy but does not possess genuine emotional comprehension. |
| No Fact‑Checking | Therapa cannot independently verify information you provide or that it generates. |
| Potential Bias | AI outputs may reflect biases present in training data despite mitigation efforts. |
| Reliability Variance | Responses can differ in quality across sessions or users. |
5. User Responsibilities
- Exercise Critical Judgment – Treat all AI Content as informational only; confirm important facts with qualified professionals.
- Seek Professional Care – Consult a licensed clinician for any diagnosis, treatment plan, or medication decision.
- Provide Accurate Input – The more truthful and complete your input, the more relevant (though not guaranteed accurate) the AI Content.
- Report Issues – Flag unsafe, harmful, or inappropriate outputs via in‑app reporting or support@therapa.com.
6. Data Handling & Privacy Highlights
- Interaction data may be processed to operate and secure the platform, but is not used to train or fine‑tune AI models (see Privacy Policy).
- Aggregated, de‑identified metrics may be analyzed to improve system performance.
- For full details, consult Therapa’s Privacy Policy.
7. Human Oversight & Escalation
- Therapa employs automatic safeguards and periodic human review to reduce harmful content.
- Certain high‑risk patterns (e.g., references to imminent self‑harm) may trigger scripted crisis resources or, where enabled and permitted by law, escalation to trained human staff.
- Therapa does not actively monitor all conversations in real time and cannot guarantee intervention.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gather Platforms Inc., its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct or indirect losses, damages, or injuries arising from or related to:
- Your use of, reliance on, or inability to use AI Content;
- Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in AI Content;
- Delay in seeking or failure to obtain professional care;
- Any unauthorized access to, or alteration of, your communications or data;
- Suspension, outage, or termination of AI services.
All liability limitations in Therapa’s Terms of Use apply in full to this Disclaimer.
