Important Medical Disclaimer
Grace Companion is NOT a medical device, healthcare provider, or emergency service. This service provides companionship and reminders only. In case of medical emergency, call 999 immediately. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice.
Care & Safeguarding Framework
Grace is designed to support independence first, escalate only when needed, and keep safety features proportionate, visible, and connected to a genuine care, family reassurance, or safeguarding purpose.
The framework is part of how we explain responsible use of reminders, GPS, safe places, AI conversation, family access, voice reminders, children's safety, and support for vulnerable adults. Read the Grace Care & Safeguarding Framework.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using any Grace Suite product, including Grace Companion, Grace Notes and Grace Care Facilities (together, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Service.
These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you" or "your") and the operators of the Grace Suite products ("we", "us" or "our"), each of which is operated in the United Kingdom.
2. Eligibility & Account Registration
You must meet the following requirements to use the Service:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
- Provide accurate and truthful information during registration
- Maintain the security of your account credentials
Next of Kin Registration
If you are registering on behalf of another person (the "Loved one"), you affirm that:
- You have legal authority to make decisions on their behalf
- You have obtained necessary consent where the loved one has capacity
- You will act in the best interests of the loved one
- All information provided is accurate and truthful
3. Service Description
Grace Suite products provide, among other things:
- AI-powered conversational companionship
- Personalised reminders for medication, appointments and daily activities
- Voice-based interactions using text-to-speech technology
- Family notification system for help requests
- Grace Check-In summaries that bring together existing reminders, messages, wellness prompts, visitor updates and safety context for authorised users
- Behaviour tracking and wellness monitoring
By way of illustration, Grace Companion is designed for individuals and families, Grace Notes supports independent care professionals with visit notes and compliance records, and Grace Care Facilities supports organisations with resident records, care planning and staff task management.
Note: The Service uses AI technology which may occasionally produce errors or unexpected responses. It should not replace human interaction, medical care, or professional advice.
Grace Check-In and similar summary features are designed to help users and authorised family notice relevant information. They are not clinical assessments, safeguarding decisions, emergency dispatch tools, or a guarantee that every risk or event will be detected.
4. Safety Location & GPS Features
Grace Companion may provide safety location features such as emergency location sharing, Share Now, Share While Out, safe places, Family Safety Map, trusted visitor location updates, and Grace Notes GPS check-ins where available.
- You must have consent, legal authority, or a genuine best-interests safety reason before enabling or viewing location sharing for another person.
- For children, location features must be enabled only by a parent, guardian, or authorised responsible adult with the right to act for the child.
- Location sharing must not be used for covert tracking, stalking, coercion, harassment, or monitoring someone without proper authority.
- GPS and browser location may be inaccurate, delayed, unavailable, or affected by device settings, battery saving, signal, and network coverage.
- The web app/PWA works best while open and active. Continuous background GPS is not guaranteed when the phone is locked, the app is closed, or the browser suspends updates.
- Grace Companion is not an emergency service. In an immediate emergency, call 999 or the relevant local emergency number.
More detail is available in our Safety Location & GPS Policy.

7. Intellectual Property
All Grace Suite branding, user interface designs, written copy, proprietary software code and platform-specific features are owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.
We integrate third-party AI services (including, for example, OpenAI and ElevenLabs) under licence from their respective owners. Their models and related intellectual property remain the property of those providers, and your use of Grace Suite products does not grant any ownership or additional rights in those third-party technologies.
Your Content
You retain ownership of voice recordings and personal data you provide. By using the Service, you grant us a limited licence to process this data solely for providing and improving the Service.
8. Voice Cloning & AI-Generated Content
When you provide voice samples for cloning:
- You grant us permission to create synthetic versions of the recorded voice
- Voice clones will only be used for reminders within your account
- You affirm you have the right to provide the voice sample
- Voice data will not be shared or used for other purposes
Reminder wording may be translated into the selected Grace language and spoken using either Grace's reminder voice or an authorised cloned family voice where your plan includes that feature.
AI-generated responses and translations are created in real-time and may not always be accurate. You should review sensitive reminder wording, especially medication names, doses, appointment details, addresses, and safety instructions.
9. Payment, Fees & Fair Use
Grace Suite products may offer free and paid subscription tiers. Pricing will be clearly displayed before purchase. Payment terms include:
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled
- Refunds are provided in accordance with UK consumer rights
- Prices may change with 30 days' notice
- Payment information is processed securely by third-party providers
Where a plan includes a generous or fair-use Talk to Me allowance, this is for normal personal, family, care, or professional use. It does not permit automated, excessive, abusive, resale, scraping, or continuous high-volume use that creates unreasonable load or cost.
We may apply proportionate fair-use safeguards, such as brief cooldowns, usage warnings, wellbeing pauses, temporary text-only voice breaks, or support review, if use is unusually heavy or appears automated. These safeguards are intended to protect service reliability and do not affect emergency guidance to contact local emergency services.
10. Service Availability
We strive to provide reliable service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to:
- Scheduled maintenance
- Technical difficulties
- Factors beyond our control
We are not liable for any damages resulting from Service unavailability.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- We are not responsible for medical outcomes or emergencies
- We are not responsible for decisions made solely from AI summaries, Grace Check-In prompts, or automated wellbeing signals without appropriate human judgement
- We are not responsible for GPS inaccuracy, unavailable device location, or delays caused by phone, browser, network, or operating system restrictions
- Our total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the last 12 months
- We are not liable for third-party actions or content
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.
12. Indemnification

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
We encourage resolving disputes informally by contacting us first. If unsuccessful, you may pursue alternative dispute resolution or legal action.
15. Data Processing and Location
We process personal data as a data processor on your behalf. All primary user data is stored within the European Union (Ireland) using Supabase’s EU region. We maintain full data residency within the EU/EEA.
Grace is designed for global use, but certain features may be restricted, require extra consent, or require local review depending on your country or region. This is especially important for precise GPS, child safety, voice cloning, AI conversation features, and international transfers.
We do not transfer or store personal data outside the EU/EEA except as strictly necessary for AI processing via OpenAI’s API. Such transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses and technical supplementary measures as documented in our Data Protection Impact Assessment.
Our sub-processor register includes Supabase (EU), Vercel (EU), and OpenAI (US with SCCs). We will notify you of any new sub-processors or changes to data locations at least 30 days in advance.
More detail is available in our Global Compliance & Safety Readiness page.
16. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
