An Introduction to the hokeX Beta Terms of Service

Welcome to hokeX! Here are highlights of our hokeX Beta Terms of Service:

hokeX is in beta, meaning product features may have errors and may not work as anticipated. We plan to continually update and improve hokeX. Please email us at support@hokex.com to provide your feedback.

hokeX allows you to chat with bots that answer your questions based on knowledge from various sources. These bots are powered by several underlying technologies, including Large Language Models (“LLMs”) operated by third-party providers. An LLM is a machine learning system that processes and generates text.

Content generated by bots on hokeX may not be accurate, and bots on hokeX cannot take action in the real world. Consequently, please verify any advice you receive from bots and do not rely on them during emergencies, as they do not perform actions for you.

We may collect certain personal information related to your use of hokeX, as detailed in the hokeX Beta Privacy Policy. Your account information is anonymized before being shared with third-party LLM providers. These providers may receive details about your interactions with bots on hokeX (including chat contents, upvotes, etc.) to improve their models. There is no need to share sensitive personal information with the bots (credit card information, social security information, etc.). For more information about the third-party providers, please see the respective bot profiles. Please see the hokeX Beta Privacy Policy for more information about our privacy practices.

Thank you for using hokeX! Please read the full hokeX Beta Terms of Service below.
