Sanctions: Users can report any content via the "Report" button. We reserve the right to permanently ban, without notice, any user violating these rules.

TamilAI uses advanced generative artificial intelligence technologies (LLM) provided by leading third-party technology partners to generate responses. AI outputs may contain errors, biases, or inaccuracies ("hallucinations"). The AI does not always have real-time information. Responses do not constitute professional advice (medical, legal, financial) under any circumstances.

TamilAI acts as an information aggregator. We provide short factual summaries and links to original sources. We claim no ownership rights over articles or images from third-party publishers. Full content is always viewed via the built-in browser on the original publisher's site.

These terms are governed by the laws of France. In case of dispute, an amicable solution will be sought before any legal action. We may update these terms; for significant changes, we will notify you 30 days in advance.
