Terms of Service

Effective 17 July 2026 · product description updated 25 October 2026

These terms govern your use of JoeHukum, operated by Aryabhatta Labs. By using the service you agree to them. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Aryabhatta Labs operates (Canada), without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Availability

JoeHukum is provided on an as-is basis. Features may change, and access may be limited or withdrawn at any time. During the limited beta, activation may require an invitation with available places. Usage and connection limits depend on your account and plan.

Your account

You sign in with Google or Apple, or continue with WhatsApp — the phone that sends the sign-in message is treated as yours, and two accounts that turn out to be one person are merged. You're responsible for the security of those accounts and for the accuracy of what you ask JoeHukum to store. Don't use the service for anything unlawful, or to access data you're not authorised to access.

What JoeHukum does and doesn't do

JoeHukum reads your Google Calendar (read-only, and only if you connect it) and any mail you choose to forward to your JoeHukum address, to surface people, obligations and suggestions, and prepares drafts for you to review and send yourself. It reads only what you point it at, and it never sends messages or transacts on your behalf. The one exception is an app you connect through Composio (below), where Joe may create or move a calendar event you asked for and cancel one you confirm.

Connected apps through Composio (optional, limited availability). Some accounts can connect Gmail and Google Calendar through Composio, a third-party connector service that holds your Google sign-in and passes Joe's requests through. Before connecting, Joe shows you what that means and asks for your agreement; Composio's own terms and privacy policy govern Composio's service, which is provided by Composio and not by us. What Joe may do with a connected app is limited in our code and described in the Privacy Policy: Joe never deletes mail or changes mail settings, and cancels a calendar event only when you confirm. Google's consent screen lists Composio's broader access; declining a permission there leaves nothing connected. You can disconnect at any time, which revokes the access at Google.

Connected Google email (internal testing only). Email connection is not offered to users; it is off by default and switched on only for internal test accounts. When a test account connects, Joe uses read-only access to recent inbox and sent mail according to its settings, including sender and label choices and exclusions. Reading can be stopped and the details saved from that account deleted. See the Privacy Policy for scope, stored information and retention.

WhatsApp (optional). You can send Joe messages, photos, PDFs and voice notes at +1 289 430 0386, or link your number from the app. We hold your number to recognise you and keep the extract and the chat turn, never a copy of media; a voice note is transcribed and the audio discarded. Messages travel through Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API under Meta's terms. Unlinking your number stops Joe reaching you there.

Recommendations & links

JoeHukum may suggest products or services and hand you off to the apps already on your phone, or to a web search or a third-party site when no app fits. Availability and prefilled details vary by destination. You review and complete any message, purchase or payment there. Joe does not ask for those destinations' login passwords or payment-card details; optional Google connection tokens and statement passwords are described in the Privacy Policy. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a referral fee if you purchase — at no extra cost to you. Recommendations reflect what fits your context, not who pays us; any purchase and its terms are between you and that third party.

Intellectual property

You keep all rights to your data. We keep all rights to the JoeHukum software, brand and design.

Disclaimer & liability

The service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages, or for actions you take based on JoeHukum's suggestions. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from or relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim arose, or CAD $50.

Termination

You may stop using JoeHukum and delete your data at any time. We may suspend or end access at our discretion.
