🚨 CRITICAL WARNINGS — READ BEFORE USING

🚫 NOT FOR MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS

This Service is provided on an experimental, best-effort basis. Do not use for any application where failure could result in death, injury, financial loss, or serious consequences.

❌ NO ENCRYPTION — YOUR DATA IS VISIBLE

The Gonka network does NOT use confidential computing. Third-party node operators can see your prompts and AI responses in plaintext. Never send sensitive data.

✅ EPHEMERAL CHAT — WE DO NOT STORE YOUR CONVERSATIONS

Your chat history exists only in your browser's local storage. We do not store your prompts or AI responses on our servers. When you clear your browser data, your conversations are gone forever.

🤖 BUILT BY AI AGENTS — USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

This application was largely developed by AI coding agents. It may contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, or unexpected behaviors. This is experimental software.

🚫 NEVER SEND THROUGH THIS SERVICE:

Passwords or login credentials
API keys, tokens, or secrets
Credit card / bank account numbers
Social security numbers

Medical / health records
Private keys or seed phrases
Trade secrets or confidential IP
Any data requiring confidentiality

1. No Confidential Computing

⚠️ NODE OPERATORS CAN SEE YOUR DATA

The Gonka decentralized network does NOT employ:

End-to-end encryption for inference processing
Confidential computing or trusted execution environments (TEEs)
Secure enclaves that prevent operator access
Homomorphic encryption or other privacy-preserving computation

This means: When you submit a prompt, the third-party node operator processing your request can potentially read your prompt text and the AI's response. Treat every interaction as if it will be viewed by unknown parties.

2. Ephemeral Chat — No Server-Side Storage

✅ YOUR CHATS ARE NOT STORED ON OUR SERVERS

Dogecat uses an ephemeral chat model:

Browser-only storage — Your conversations exist only in your browser's local storage
No database storage — We do not save your prompts or AI responses to any server
Clear browser data = gone — When you clear your browser data, conversations are permanently deleted
No chat history on our end — We cannot retrieve your previous conversations
No backups — We have no backup copies of your chats because we never stored them

This design maximizes your privacy. Block Thyme, LLC cannot access, review, or disclose your conversation content because we simply do not have it.

3. AI-Assisted Development

🤖 This Application Was Built by AI Agents

A significant portion of this application's codebase was written by AI coding agents. This means:

The software may contain bugs or unexpected behaviors
Security vulnerabilities may exist that have not been identified
The code has not undergone traditional human code review for all components
Edge cases may not be handled properly
The application is experimental in nature

Use this Service at your own risk. We make no guarantees about the quality, security, or reliability of AI-generated code.

4. Nature of the Service

Dogecat is a service operated by Block Thyme, LLC that provides an interface to access AI inference capabilities through the Gonka decentralized network. By using this Service, you acknowledge and understand:

Decentralized Infrastructure: The AI inference processing occurs on a network of independent, third-party nodes that we do not own, operate, or control.
Experimental Technology: This Service utilizes experimental decentralized technology. Performance, reliability, and results may vary significantly.
No Control Over Processing: Once a request is submitted to the Gonka network, we cannot cancel, stop, modify, or delete it.
Low-Cost Reflects Nature: Our low pricing reflects the best-effort, experimental nature of the Service, not the quality appropriate for production or critical systems.

5. AI Hallucination Warning

⚠️ AI OUTPUTS MAY BE WRONG

Artificial intelligence models are probabilistic systems that generate outputs based on patterns in training data. They can and do produce content that is:

Factually incorrect — AI can confidently state false information
Fabricated — AI can invent facts, citations, quotes, and sources that don't exist
Biased — AI outputs may reflect biases present in training data
Inconsistent — The same prompt may yield different results
Outdated — AI knowledge has training cutoff dates
Misleading — Correct-sounding but fundamentally wrong
Harmful — Despite safety measures, potentially dangerous content may be generated

NEVER rely on AI outputs without independent verification from authoritative sources.

6. No Professional Advice

AI-generated outputs from this Service are for informational and entertainment purposes only. They do not constitute and should never be used as a substitute for:

🏥 Medical Advice

Do not use for diagnosis, treatment decisions, medication information, or any health-related guidance. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals.

⚖️ Legal Advice

Do not use for legal opinions, case strategy, contract interpretation, or regulatory compliance. Consult a licensed attorney.

💰 Financial Advice

Do not use for investment decisions, tax planning, retirement strategies, or financial planning. Consult a licensed financial advisor.

🔧 Professional Services

Do not use for engineering, architecture, therapy, accounting, or any other professional service requiring licensed practitioners.

7. Service Availability

NO SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA)

This Service is provided WITHOUT any availability guarantees:

No guaranteed uptime or availability percentage
No guaranteed response times or latency
No guaranteed throughput or capacity
No guaranteed request completion
Service may be interrupted, degraded, or unavailable at any time

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including maintenance, upgrades, or business decisions.

8. Decentralized Network Disclaimer

The Gonka decentralized network operates independently of Block Thyme, LLC. We explicitly disclaim:

Any control over node operators, their hardware, software, or practices
Any ability to monitor, filter, or moderate content processed by nodes
Any ability to recall, delete, or modify requests after submission
Any guarantee of privacy, security, or confidentiality on the network
Any responsibility for actions or omissions of node operators
Any guarantee that nodes will process requests correctly or at all

9. User Responsibility

YOU ARE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR:

Evaluating all AI outputs before any use
Verifying accuracy through independent authoritative sources
All decisions made based on AI outputs
All actions taken in reliance on AI outputs
All consequences resulting from your use of the Service

12. Assumption of Risk

By using this Service, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with:

Using experimental decentralized AI technology
Receiving potentially inaccurate or harmful AI outputs
Data being processed by unknown third-party node operators
Service interruptions, failures, or unavailability
Loss of data submitted to the Service
Security vulnerabilities inherent in decentralized systems
