EFFECTIVE DATE: JANUARY 1, 2026 · LAST UPDATED: MAY 15, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Kami ("Kami," "we," "us," or "our"), an AI companion application that operates locally on your device. Kami is developed and operated by Adarsh Dev ("Developer"), accessible via the domain www.mykami.in (the "Website").

These Terms of Service ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Kami governing your access to and use of the Website, the Kami Progressive Web Application ("App"), and all related services provided by Kami (collectively, the "Services").

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

2. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), to use the Services. By using Kami, you represent and warrant that:

• You have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction and can form legally binding contracts;
• You are not barred or restricted from receiving the Services under the laws of India, the United States, or any other applicable jurisdiction;
• You have not been previously suspended or removed from the Services;
• You are not located in a country subject to a United States, United Nations, or European Union embargo or trade restriction.

3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY

To access certain features of the Services, you must register an account via our third-party authentication provider, Clerk, Inc. ("Clerk"). You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete account information;
• Maintain and promptly update your account information;
• Maintain the confidentiality and security of your login credentials;
• Accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account;
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.

Kami shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these account security obligations. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion.

4. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Kami is a local-first, browser-based AI companion that uses WebGPU technology to run large language models entirely on your device. The core functionality of Kami operates offline within your browser; no conversation data, memories, or personal content leaves your device during normal operation.

Key characteristics of the Services include:

• Local Processing: The AI model (MLC-LLM), embedding model, and all inference run exclusively on your device's GPU using WebGPU. No AI processing occurs on remote servers.
• Local Storage: All conversation data, memories, and user data are stored in your browser's Origin Private File System (OPFS) via SQLite WASM. Kami does not operate cloud storage for user data.
• Authentication: User authentication is handled by Clerk, a third-party service. Clerk stores and processes authentication credentials, not Kami.
• Subscription Payments: Paid subscriptions are processed through Dodo Payments, a third-party payment processor. Kami does not store or process payment card information.
• Optional Cloud Features: The "Voice Mode" feature offers an optional cloud-based speech-to-text fallback via Groq, Inc. When enabled, audio data is transmitted to Groq's servers for transcription. This is opt-in and can be disabled.

5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, FEES, AND PAYMENT

Kami offers both free (Echo) and paid subscription tiers (Kami and Kami Pro). The current subscription plans and pricing are displayed on our billing page and are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Billing and Payment: All fees are payable in advance through Dodo Payments. By subscribing, you authorize Kami (through Dodo Payments) to charge the applicable subscription fee to your designated payment method. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which you are responsible for paying.

Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled. You are responsible for all recurring charges made before cancellation takes effect.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account billing settings or by contacting us. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to paid features until the end of the period for which you have paid.

Refunds: Please refer to our Refund Policy for complete details. Generally, payments are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

6. AI-GENERATED CONTENT DISCLAIMER

Kami generates responses using large language models running locally on your device. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or inappropriate. You should independently verify any information provided by Kami before relying on it.
• Kami is not a substitute for professional advice (medical, legal, financial, psychological, or otherwise). You should not rely on Kami for professional advice of any kind.
• Kami does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any AI-generated content.
• The "personality," emotional responses, and opinions expressed by Kami are algorithmic outputs and do not represent the views, beliefs, or endorsements of Kami or its Developer.
• Kami may generate content that some users find objectionable. You use Kami at your own risk.

WARNING: Kami may occasionally produce content that is incorrect, hallucinatory, or potentially harmful. You bear sole responsibility for your interactions with the AI and any consequences resulting from your use of AI-generated content.

7. ACCEPTABLE USE
