Privacy & Terms of Service
The Parley After Life PAL Dialogue Sampler is provided by Dialogflow, whose Terms of Service are available here - https://dialogflow.com/terms-and-privacy. By accessing or using the Standard Edition of Dialogflow, you are agreeing to the Google APIs Terms of Service, which are incorporated by reference. The PAL Sampler uses Dialogflow's Natural Language Understanding NLU chatbot to interpret key words from your sentence. Google's Machine Learning ML also helps to match these to pertinent phrases from the text. However, the correlation is not always immediately evident and may appear surreal. It is possible to have a 'conversation' with the novel which will twist in unforeseen directions analogous to the unpredictability of working through life and death.Please note that all PAL Samples are out of context from the original text. No phrase is intended to cause harm or offence. Please re-read the phrase in the full original context, available here - https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/316200, before drawing conclusions about what a PAL Sampler phrase means. Parley After Life is a grave allegory. Any reference, which may make you think of yourself, anyone else or any organisation is solely in your imagination and the tension that causes is not intentional. We apologise for the inconvenience.

But there are certain things that we do not promise about the PAL Sampler.Other than as expressly set out in these terms or additional terms, the PAL Sampler does not make any specific promises about the service.

We provide the service “as is”.
Some jurisdictions provide for certain warranties, like the implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties.
The PAL Sampler response to a user's input does not imply approval or agreement with that input-phrase. The PAL Sampler cannot correlate the whole meaning of the input-phrase with a phrase from the text so responses cannot be regarded as having condoned or concurred with the preceding input-phrase. Moreover, any input-phrase following a PAL Sampler phrase is purely the user's opinion and does not represent the PAL Sampler.
