Terms of Service
Last updated: April 9, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Parity mobile application and related services ("Service") provided by Parity Talk ("Parity," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may change these Terms at any time by notifying you, and your continued use of the Service following such an update will represent an agreement by you to be bound by the Terms as amended.
1. Eligibility
By accepting these Terms, you represent and warrant that:
- You have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding contract with us
- You are authorized to use the payment method you provided when purchasing a Subscription
- You are either over the age of 18 and accessing the Service for personal use, or you are accessing the Service on behalf of someone under the age of 18 and consent to that person's use of the Service
The Service is not intended for unsupervised use by any person under the age of 18. Please do not access the Service if you are under 18 and do not have your parent or guardian's consent, or if you have previously been suspended or prohibited from using the Service.
2. Description of service
Parity is an AI-powered communication tool that helps users translate and understand communication between different neurological profiles ("neurotypes"). The Service includes:
- A Translate mode that rephrases communication for specific recipients based on their neurological profile and communication patterns
- A Talk mode that provides conversational support for processing communication situations
- Connection profiles that store information about people you communicate with
- A learning system that improves translations based on conversation history and outcomes
- Cloud backup via Sign in with Apple for cross-device data restoration
3. Disclaimer — not medical or professional advice
This section is critically important. Please read carefully.
While the Parity application has been designed to help bridge communication differences between neurotypes using advanced AI, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Not medical or professional advice. Any information provided to you through the Service is general in nature, may not be suitable for your circumstances, and does not constitute medical, psychological, financial, legal, or any other kind of professional advice.
- Not therapy or counseling. Parity does not provide mental health treatment, psychological counseling, or therapeutic intervention of any kind. It is not a substitute for a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor.
- Not a crisis intervention system. Parity is not designed to handle mental health emergencies, suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse situations, or any other crisis. If you or someone you know is in crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988), Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), or your local emergency services (911).
- Not a diagnostic tool. Parity does not diagnose neurodevelopmental conditions, mental health disorders, or any other condition. Neurotype selections are self-reported and used only for communication personalization.
- Not a substitute for professional communication support. Parity does not replace speech-language therapy, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems, social skills training, occupational therapy, or any other professional intervention.
- Requires clear user input. The Service requires clear and coherent user input to ensure effective responses. The quality and appropriateness of translations depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide.
- Compliance with laws. It is your responsibility to comply with applicable laws relevant to your use of the Service, including privacy laws when providing information about other individuals.
4. AI-generated content
All translations, coaching responses, explanations, suggestions, and learned patterns provided by Parity are generated by artificial intelligence (Anthropic's Claude language model). You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI can be wrong. Translations and suggestions may be inaccurate, inappropriate, or counterproductive in specific situations. AI cannot fully understand the nuances of every human relationship, cultural context, or individual circumstance.
- Translations are suggestions, not scripts. You should always use your own judgment before using any translation. The app provides options — you decide what to say.
- Learned patterns may be inaccurate. AI-generated summaries of communication patterns are inferences based on limited data. They may contain errors. You can and should edit these summaries when they are incorrect.
- No guaranteed outcomes. Parity cannot guarantee that any translation or suggestion will produce a desired outcome. Human relationships are complex and no AI tool can account for every variable.
- You are responsible for your words. You are solely responsible for what you choose to say to others, regardless of whether you used Parity to help phrase it.
For complete details on our AI practices, see our Generative AI Use Policy.
5. Acceptable use
You must comply with these Terms at all times. You must not, and must not encourage or permit any third party to:
- Upload sensitive personal information of others without their consent, in particular any information that goes against our Privacy Policy and Generative AI Use Policy
- Upload any inappropriate, offensive, illicit, illegal, pornographic, sexist, homophobic, or racist material
- Use the Service for any purpose other than improving interpersonal communication
- Use the Service to generate harmful, abusive, threatening, harassing, or illegal content
