Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2, 2026

TL;DR

1. What Lia Is

Lia is an AI-powered personal assistant that you interact with via Telegram (@lia_cos_bot). She connects to your email, calendar, and the web to handle tasks on your behalf.

Important: Lia is an AI assistant, not a human. She uses large language models (provided by Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI) to understand your requests and respond. She can make mistakes. She's a tool to help you be more productive — not a replacement for human judgment.

Not professional advice: Lia does not provide legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. If you need expert guidance, talk to a qualified professional.

2. Eligibility

To use Lia, you must:

If you're under 18, you should have your parent or guardian review these terms with you.

3. Your Account

One account per person. Each Telegram user gets one Lia account. You interact with Lia by messaging @lia_cos_bot on Telegram.

When you first message @lia_cos_bot, you'll go through a quick onboarding:

Your responsibility: Keep your Telegram account secure. If someone else accesses your Telegram, they can message Lia as you.

4. Pricing and Billing

Lia has one plan: $99.99/month. Everything included — unlimited messages, premium AI models, persistent memory, all integrations, all features.

3-Day Trial

New users get a 3-day free trial with full access. After the trial, you'll need to subscribe to keep using Lia.

Billing

Handled by Stripe. When you upgrade (via /upgrade), you'll get a checkout link. After you complete payment:

Cancellation

You can cancel anytime via /settings → Manage Subscription (Stripe portal). When you cancel:

Payment Failures

If your payment fails (expired card, insufficient funds, etc.), you'll be notified via Telegram. If you don't update your payment info within 7 days, your account will be paused until payment is resolved.

Refunds

There are no refunds for partial months. If you're not happy with Lia, cancel before your next billing date and you won't be charged again.

5. Trial and Access

During your 3-day trial, you get full access to everything Lia offers. After the trial ends, you'll need an active subscription to continue using Lia.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

If abuse is detected, Lia can suspend or terminate your account immediately. No refunds.

7. Data and Privacy

Your data, your control. Here's what Lia stores and what you can do about it:

Your controls:

Privacy Policy: Read the full details at getlia.ai/privacy or ask Lia to summarize it for you.

8. Intellectual Property

You own your data. Your emails, calendar events, conversations, and memory files are yours. When you run /delete, everything is deleted. You can also export your data (feature coming soon).

Lia owns the service. Lia's code, infrastructure, branding, and design belong to Lia. You can't copy, modify, or resell Lia without permission.

AI-generated content: Lia's responses are generated by AI. Lia doesn't claim ownership of what Lia says to you — but there's no guarantee it's accurate, original, or non-infringing. If Lia generates something that violates someone else's copyright, that's your responsibility to handle.

9. Disclaimers

AI can be wrong. Lia uses large language models to understand and respond to your requests. Sometimes she'll make mistakes:

You're responsible for checking her work. If Lia drafts an email, read it before you approve sending. If she schedules a meeting, double-check the details. If she gives you advice, verify it with a professional if it matters.

No guarantees: Lia is provided "as-is." There's no guarantee that:

Not a replacement for professionals: Lia is not a lawyer, doctor, accountant, therapist, or financial advisor. If you need professional advice, hire a professional.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law:

Lia is not liable for:

Maximum liability: If Lia is found liable for anything, total liability is capped at the amount you paid in the past 12 months (or $100, whichever is greater).

Your remedy: If you're unhappy with Lia, you can cancel your subscription and delete your account via /delete.

This limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

11. Termination

You can leave anytime: Run /delete to wipe your account and all data. If you're a paying user, your subscription will be canceled (no refund for the current period).

Lia can terminate your account if:

If your account is terminated for abuse, there's no refund.

12. Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Service may be updated from time to time. If significant changes are made, you'll be notified via Telegram and give you a chance to review the new terms before they take effect.

Continued use of Lia after changes means you accept the updated terms.

You can always find the latest version at getlia.ai/terms.

13. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement: These Terms, along with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Lia. They replace any prior agreements.

Severability: If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.

No waiver: If a rule isn't enforced once, that doesn't mean it's waived forever.

Assignment: You can't transfer your Lia account to someone else. Lia can transfer rights and obligations (e.g., if the company is sold).
