Service Disclaimer
Last updated: February 14, 2026
🚨 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
