Bu belge İngilizcedir. Geçerli olan İngilizce sürümüdür.

Beta version v0.1. If it changes, we will tell you in the app.

These terms are a contract between you and Friendify Ltd, the company that runs Talkalike. Please read them. They are written to be easy to understand. Our Privacy Notice, Acceptable Use Policy, Complaints and Reporting policy and, while Talkalike is in beta, the Beta Terms also form part of these terms.

Nothing in these terms takes away your legal rights as a consumer.

1. Who we are

Talkalike is a product of Friendify Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 16656938, registered office 128 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX.

You can reach us through the complaints form in the app (Settings → About and legal → Complain) or on our website.

2. What Talkalike is

Talkalike is a private one-to-one messaging and calling app with AI translation. It lets you send text, photos, videos, files and voice messages and make voice and video calls with one other person at a time. It translates what you send into the other person's language, and what they send into yours.

Please understand these points before you sign up. They are central to how Talkalike works:

Translation is done by AI. Messages and voice messages are translated by an AI model that we reach through OpenRouter, with xAI as a backup; calls are translated by xAI. Voice messages and calls are turned into text by ElevenLabs. Translations are read aloud by AI voices from ElevenLabs (voice messages) and Cartesia (calls). These voices are synthetic: they are not the real voice of the person you are talking to.
Translation needs your consent. Your content is only sent to our AI providers if you give the optional consent at sign-up (or later in Settings). Without it, what you write and say is not translated and the other person sees your original words.
There is no end-to-end encryption. To translate your messages, our server and our AI providers must be able to read them. Messages are encrypted in transit; photos, videos, voice messages, files and backups are also encrypted when stored. Nothing is encrypted end to end.
Talkalike does not record calls. Live translation works sentence by sentence and Talkalike saves nothing from the call. ElevenLabs, which turns the speech into text, may keep logs of it under its own terms (see our Privacy Notice). Translation starts only when both people in the call have agreed to it.
We do not scan your private chats for rule-breaking. People at Talkalike only look at content that someone reports to us.
Explicit content is blurred for people whose age is not verified. Where you have given the consent in point 2, a model on our own server checks your photos and videos, and our AI providers check the words of your voice messages, only to blur or lock explicit content for people whose age has not been verified. To open or send explicit content you verify your age once with Yoti. See our Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Notice.

3. Who can use Talkalike

You must be 18 or older. By creating an account you confirm that you are.
During the beta you can only join with a valid invitation. You may only invite people you know who are 18 or older.
You must give a real email address that you control.
One account per person. Your account is personal and you may not let anyone else use it.
You may not use Talkalike if we have closed an account of yours before for breaking these terms, unless we agree.
To open or send explicit photos, videos or voice messages, you must verify your age with Yoti, as explained in the Acceptable Use Policy. You must not try to get around the age check or the blur.

If we learn that a user is under 18, we will close the account and delete its data. We keep only a one-way scrambled form of the email address, so it cannot be used to sign up again (see the Privacy Notice).

4. Your account

You log in with a 6-digit code we send to your email. Keep access to your email secure; anyone who controls your email can log in to Talkalike.
Tell us straight away through the complaints form (Settings → About and legal → Complain) if you think someone else has access to your account.
You can delete your account at any time in Settings. What happens to your data is explained in the Privacy Notice.

5. The beta

Talkalike is currently an invite-only beta. It is free. Features may change, stop working or be removed, and data may be lost or reset. The Beta Terms explain this and apply in addition to these terms while the beta lasts.

6. Your content

Your content stays yours. "Your content" means everything you send or upload: messages, photos, videos, files, voice messages, what you say in calls, custom emoji, stickers, glossary entries and the chat memory you write.

The licence you give us. You give Friendify Ltd a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable licence to use your content only to provide Talkalike to you and to the person you are talking to. This includes:

storing, copying, encrypting and transmitting it;
converting it to other formats (for example making previews or compressing audio);
where you have given the consent described in the Privacy Notice, checking photos, videos and other pictures with a model on our own server, and the words of voice messages with our AI providers, to blur or lock explicit content for people whose age is not verified;
translating it, transcribing it (turning speech into text) and reading it aloud with an AI voice, where you have given the consent described in the Privacy Notice;
sending it to our service providers (listed in the Privacy Notice) so they can do these things for us;
keeping it where the law requires (for example as evidence after a report).

We may let our service providers use your content only to perform the service for us. We do not use your content to train AI models, for advertising, or for any other purpose.

The licence ends when your content is deleted, except for copies we must keep by law, and backup copies, which are removed within 7 days.

Your responsibilities. You are responsible for what you send. You confirm that you have the right to share it, and that it does not break the law or our Acceptable Use Policy.

AI output. We do not claim any ownership of translations, transcripts or AI voice output made from your content.

Our service providers. You allow our service providers OpenRouter (and the model hosts it uses), xAI, ElevenLabs and Cartesia to process your content as described in the Privacy Notice in order to provide Talkalike. ElevenLabs may enforce section 7 (Acceptable use) of these terms, so far as it relates to its services, as a third-party beneficiary. Apart from that, no one other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms.

7. Acceptable use

You must follow our Acceptable Use Policy. In short:

Allowed: sexual content between consenting adults in your private chats. We translate it faithfully and do not soften it. Explicit photos, videos and voice messages are blurred or locked for people whose age is not verified, and explicit content found by our checks, or marked by its sender, is delivered only once the sender's age is verified.
Never allowed: anything that sexualises children; sharing or threatening to share intimate images of someone without their consent; creating fake intimate images of a real person; extreme pornography and other illegal pornographic images (including images showing strangulation or suffocation, apparent incest, or real or role-played sexual activity with someone under 16); harassment, threats, stalking or blackmail; hate and abuse aimed at people because of who they are; terrorism; fraud and scams; pretending to be someone else, including using another person's voice; spam; and anything else that is illegal.

If you break the Acceptable Use Policy, we may remove content, suspend or close your account, and report you to the police or the National Crime Agency where the law requires or allows it.

How we keep you safe. We do not use automated tools to look for rule-breaking in private chats; the explicit-content checks above only decide what is blurred or locked for people whose age is not verified. We review content when it is reported to us, remove illegal content quickly, and remove intimate images reported by the person shown within 48 hours. Content reported as child sexual abuse or as an intimate image shared without consent is hidden for both people as soon as it is reported. You can block anyone at any time. Details are in our Complaints and Reporting policy.

8. AI translation: what it can and cannot do

This section describes the main features of Talkalike. Please read it carefully.

Translations can be wrong. AI translation can miss nuance, choose the wrong word or, occasionally, change the meaning. AI voices may mispronounce words or sound different from what you expect. Live call translation comes with a delay of a few seconds and can mishear what was said.
You can always check. You can see the original of any message ("Show original"), see exactly what the other person received ("Show what they got"), ask for a new translation, add words to your shared glossary, and in a call tap "Wrong translation" to have a sentence translated again.
Do not rely on Talkalike alone for anything important. Do not rely only on an AI translation for medical, legal, financial or safety-critical matters, or for agreeing anything that has serious consequences. Check with the other person or a human translator.
If translation is unavailable, or the writer has not given consent to translation, the message is delivered in its original language with a note, and calls continue without translation.

9. Our responsibility to you

What we will do. We will provide Talkalike with reasonable care and skill.

What we are not responsible for. So far as the law allows, we are not responsible for:

loss or damage that was not foreseeable when you accepted these terms;
loss caused by events outside our reasonable control (for example a failure of an internet provider or one of our AI providers);
loss caused by you breaking these terms;
what other users send you, although we will act on reports as described in our policies;
business losses: Talkalike is for personal use only.

What we never exclude. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:

death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

Limit. Subject to the paragraph above, while Talkalike is free our total liability to you for all claims under these terms is limited to £100.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Talkalike and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or close your account:

immediately, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if the law requires us to, or if this is needed to protect other people;
in other cases, with at least 14 days' notice by email or in the app.

When we suspend or close an account, we tell you why unless the law or a safety risk prevents us, and you can still sign in to see the decision, appeal it (see the Complaints and Reporting policy) or delete your account. If we close your account for breaking our rules and you then delete it, we keep a one-way scrambled form of your email address so it cannot be used to sign up again (see the Privacy Notice).

If we close Talkalike or end the beta, we will give you at least 30 days' notice and a way to export your messages where we reasonably can.

11. Changes

To Talkalike. We may change or remove features, for example to improve the app, to change a service provider, for security, or because the law changes. During the beta, features change often (see the Beta Terms). If you have a paid plan and a change makes Talkalike significantly worse for you, you can cancel and get a refund for the unused part.

To these terms. We may change these terms for a valid reason, such as a change in the law, in our providers' terms, in our features, or to make them clearer. We will tell you at least 14 days in advance in the app or by email, unless the change is required sooner by law or for safety. If you do not agree, you can delete your account before the change applies. If you have a paid plan, you can cancel and get a refund for the unused part.

12. Paid subscriptions (not active during the beta)

This section does not apply yet. Talkalike is free during the beta. If we introduce paid plans, we will update this section, tell you in advance, and nobody will be charged without signing up to a paid plan. We will check this section against the subscription rules in force at that time.

12.1 Before you subscribe. Before you pay, we show you clearly and together:

what the plan includes and how it works on your device;
the total price including VAT and any other mandatory charges (no hidden or "drip" charges), and what you will pay per billing period;
any free or discounted trial period, what it costs after it ends, and when the first full payment is taken;
how long the subscription lasts, that it renews automatically, and how to cancel;
your cancellation rights;
our complaints process.

We confirm all of this to you by email (a "durable medium") after you subscribe.

12.2 Price and payment. We will tell you the price, the billing period and how you pay before paid plans start. If we raise the price, we tell you in advance, and you can cancel before the new price applies.

12.3 Your 14-day cooling-off right. You can cancel within 14 days of subscribing without giving a reason. If you ask us to start the service straight away during those 14 days and then cancel, we refund you minus a proportionate amount for the time you used. To cancel, use the cancel button in Settings.

12.4 Reminders. We send you reminders before a free or discounted trial ends and before your subscription renews, as the subscription rules require, telling you the price, the date, and how to cancel.

12.5 Cancelling at any time. You can end your subscription at any time in a straightforward way, in a single step in Settings (no phone calls, no obstacles). It ends at the end of the period you have paid for, unless you are within a cooling-off period.

12.6 Cooling-off after a trial or a long renewal. Where the subscription rules give you a further cooling-off period (for example after a free or discounted trial turns into a paid subscription, or when a subscription of 12 months or more renews), you can cancel within that period and get a refund as the rules provide.

12.7 Your consumer rights. When you pay for Talkalike, you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including that digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, and services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these terms limits those rights.

12.8 Disputes. If our complaints process does not resolve a problem, we will tell you whether an alternative dispute resolution service is available.

13. Other legal terms

Transfer. We may transfer this contract to another company that takes over Talkalike, if this does not reduce your rights. We will tell you. You may not transfer your account.
Severability. If a court finds part of these terms invalid, the rest stays in force.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
Third parties. Except as stated in section 6 (our service providers), no one else has any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce these terms.
Language. These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version applies if there is a difference, unless your local law says otherwise.

14. Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts. If you live in the EU or elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.

15. Contact and complaints
