AI Disclaimer

Defined terms carry the meanings given in BeDeeper's shared legal definitions unless expressly redefined here.

In plain language

The Lantern is a companion for reflection. It is powered by artificial intelligence. It is not a licensed professional. This document is the legal disclaimer that goes with The Lantern. It reads with:

• The trust-oriented account of how AI is actually used: AI Transparency
• Non-clinical scope and crisis resources: Wellness Disclaimer
• Your writing and BeDeeper's commitments about it: Content Ownership

1. What The Lantern is (and is not)

The Lantern is a compassionate companion for reflection served through language-model technology. It is provided as part of BeDeeper for reflective use only.

The Lantern is not, and is not held out to be:

• A licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, or coach.
• A physician, nurse, pharmacist, dietitian, or any other licensed health professional.
• An attorney, tax advisor, accountant, or financial planner.
• A crisis line, emergency service, or first responder.
• A dream interpreter, oracle, diviner, or spiritual authority.
• An adjudicator of your Discovery, identity, purpose, or "the lesson" of your experience.

2. Reflective use only

Anything The Lantern says is offered as reflective material for you to consider. It is not professional advice. Do not rely on The Lantern for decisions where a qualified professional is appropriate. If a situation calls for professional care — medical, psychological, legal, financial, or emergency — please seek that care directly.

3. No clinical claims

BeDeeper is not a medical device. The Lantern does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or predict any condition. BeDeeper makes no clinical claims and does not evaluate you against any diagnostic criteria. Language that appears in your Living Journal, a Compass map, or a Lantern conversation — for example, references to feelings, moods, or life circumstances — is not treated as clinical data by BeDeeper.

For BeDeeper's non-clinical scope and how to reach real crisis and health resources, see Wellness Disclaimer.

4. Accuracy and hallucination

Language models can produce statements that sound confident but are wrong. The Lantern may:

• State something factually incorrect.
• Miss context that was obvious to you.
• Reproduce patterns from its training that do not fit your situation.
• Suggest a reframing that is unhelpful or off.

You are the final judge of what applies to you. Where The Lantern is wrong, disregard it, correct it, or ask again. BeDeeper is not liable for decisions you make in reliance on The Lantern's responses.

5. User responsibility

By using The Lantern you accept that:

• The Lantern's responses are your material to weigh, not instructions to follow.
• You will not use The Lantern in place of professional care where professional care is appropriate.
• You will not use The Lantern's output to make consequential decisions (health, legal, financial, safety) without independent professional judgment.
• You will not attempt to prompt The Lantern to produce content prohibited by Acceptable Use or Community Guidelines.

6. Content boundaries

The Lantern will refuse or redirect in categories BeDeeper has decided not to serve — including but not limited to clinical diagnosis, prescriptions, legal counsel, financial advice, dream interpretation, prediction of futures, and requests to declare a member's Discovery or purpose. Where a topic sits outside The Lantern's scope, The Lantern will say so or step back rather than pretend otherwise.

7. No warranty on AI output

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BeDeeper makes no warranty of any kind — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any output generated by The Lantern. All AI output is provided "as is."

8. Limitation of liability

The limitation of liability in Terms of Service applies to the use of The Lantern. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or death or personal injury caused by BeDeeper's negligence — where those limitations are prohibited by applicable law.

9. Opt-out

You may use BeDeeper without invoking The Lantern:

• Walk a Passage without opening The Deep.
• Write in your Living Journal without inviting The Lantern in.
• Leave Compass maps without Lantern context enabled.

Using BeDeeper without The Lantern does not affect your membership.

10. Age

BeDeeper is not directed to children. Age minimums are set out in Children's Privacy. The Lantern is offered subject to those age minimums.

11. Changes

Substantive changes to this Disclaimer follow the notification convention in Terms of Service and the effective-date convention in BeDeeper's Legal Foundation.
