Terms of Service
Effective: August 9, 2026 · previous version: March 20, 2026
What changed on 9 August 2026 — section 4, Acceptable Use.
Meckies on a plan share one AI provider key, so we added: don't generate what
that provider's own policies forbid; don't resell or proxy the AI capability;
don't publish adult content on a public share link. We also spelled out what
we'll do about it, and that forwarded requests carry an anonymous per-account
identifier so misuse traces to one account rather than to everyone.
If you'd rather those limits not apply to you, bring your own API key.
These terms govern your use of Meckie ("the Service"), operated by TurkeyCode. By using the Service, you agree to these terms.
1. The Service
Meckie is an AI companion platform. You can create personalized AI Meckies that see, hear, speak, and remember. The Service includes web-based interaction, physical device support, voice conversation, face recognition, memory, and third-party skill integrations.
2. Accounts
- You must provide a valid email address to create an account.
- You are responsible for your account credentials. Don't share them.
- One person, one account. Don't create multiple accounts to abuse free tiers.
- You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
3. Plans & Billing
- Trial: Free for 7 days. Limited features.
- Starter ($9.99/mo): Full conversation, memory, and skills.
- Pro ($24.99/mo): Vision, voice, unlimited tokens, face recognition.
- Ultra ($49.99/mo): Everything plus priority support and multiple Meckies.
- BYOK ($4.99/mo): Bring your own Anthropic API key. Reduced platform fee.
Prices may change with 30 days notice. Subscriptions renew monthly. Cancel anytime from the dashboard — no refunds for partial months.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for anything illegal.
- Attempt to access other users' data or Meckies.
- Use the face recognition feature to surveil people without their knowledge or consent.
- Abuse rate limits or attempt to circumvent usage restrictions.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or exploit the Service.
- Use the Service to generate harmful, abusive, or deceptive content.
- Enroll faces of people who haven't consented to face recognition.
- Use the Service to generate content that violates the usage policies of the
AI providers behind it (currently Anthropic). Accounts on a Meckie plan share
one provider key, so misuse by one person puts every other user's Meckie at
risk — this is the rule we will act on fastest.
- Resell, proxy, or resyndicate access to the AI capability, or use it as a
general-purpose API for something other than your Meckie.
- Publish or share an app containing sexual content, graphic violence, or
material unsuitable for all ages. Shared links are public, uncredentialed,
and get opened by children.
What happens if you do: we may suspend the account, pull a
shared app offline, or revoke a capability grant, without notice where the risk
is to other users. Requests we forward to AI providers carry an anonymous
per-account identifier so that misuse can be traced to the account responsible
rather than to everyone.
If you would rather these limits not apply to your own usage, bring your own
API key — then the provider's relationship, and its policies, are yours.
The rules above about other people's data and face enrolment still apply.
5. Your Data
- You own your conversations, memories, and configurations.
- We need a license to process your data to provide the Service (e.g., sending text to Claude for responses).
- We do not use your conversations to train AI models.
- See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
6. AI Limitations
- Meckie is an AI companion, not a professional advisor. Don't rely on it for medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions.
- AI responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. Use your judgment.
- Face recognition is probabilistic — it can make mistakes.
- Memory is imperfect — your Meckie may forget things or remember them incorrectly.
7. Third-Party Skills
- Some skills connect to third-party services (weather, news, etc.) and may have their own terms.
- Skills that require API keys use your credentials — we store them encrypted but you are responsible for their use.
- We are not responsible for third-party service availability or accuracy.
8. Physical Devices
If you use Meckie with physical hardware (Raspberry Pi, etc.):
- You are responsible for your hardware and its physical security.
- Camera and microphone access is your responsibility — ensure appropriate consent in your environment.
- We are not responsible for hardware damage, electrical issues, or physical safety.
9. Service Availability
- We aim for high availability but don't guarantee uptime.
- We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice.
- Features may change, be added, or be removed as the Service evolves.
10. Termination
- You can delete your account at any time.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
- On termination, your data is deleted within 30 days.
11. Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by law, TurkeyCode is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, United States.
13. Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Significant changes will be communicated via email.
