- AI-Generated Outputs; Attorney Verification. Customer acknowledges that the Services use artificial intelligence, including large language models and other machine-learning techniques, to generate drafts, summaries, analyses, and other outputs intended to assist licensed attorneys (“AI Outputs”). AI Outputs are probabilistic in nature; they may contain errors, omissions, fabricated citations, outdated information, or other inaccuracies, and may not reflect current law or the specific facts of any matter. AI Outputs do not constitute legal advice and are not a substitute for the independent professional judgment of a licensed attorney. The Services are tools for use by licensed attorneys and are not intended for, and do not constitute, the practice of law. Customer is solely responsible for, and must ensure that a qualified attorney independently reviews, verifies, and exercises professional judgment over, any AI Output before such output is relied upon, communicated to a client or third party, filed, executed, or otherwise acted upon. Provider makes no representation or warranty that AI Outputs are accurate, complete, current, fit for any particular matter, or suitable for reliance without independent attorney review. Customer’s use of AI Outputs is at Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ own risk and professional responsibility.
- THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND INTEGRATIONS
- Third Party Services. The Services may enable access to or integration with third-party products, applications, websites, or services (“Third-Party Services”).

Additional fees for integrations may apply as set out in the Order Form.
- FEES AND PAYMENT.

- Invoicing and Payment Terms. Provider will invoice Customer as stated in the applicable Order Form. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are due thirty (30) days from the invoice date.

Customer must pay all Fees without set-off, except as required by law.
- Taxes. Fees exclude all taxes, duties, and similar charges. Customer is responsible for all such amounts imposed on the Services, except for taxes based on Provider’s income. If Customer claims a tax exemption, it must provide valid exemption documentation. If Customer is required to withhold taxes, Customer must gross-up payments so that Provider receives the full amount that would have been paid absent such withholding.
- Fee Adjustments. Provider may adjust Fees at the start of each renewal term by providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice, unless otherwise stated in the Order Form.
- Late Payments. In addition to late payment interest, if Provider retains a collection agency or attorney to collect any overdue amounts, Customer will pay all costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, collection agency fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred by Provider in collecting the overdue amounts. These collection costs are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to Provider under these Terms or applicable law.

- Subscription Terms. Each Order Form will specify its own subscription term or service term (“Subscription Term”). Each Subscription Term begins on the start date set out in the applicable Order Form and continues for the duration specified in that Order Form. For clarity, neither party has the right to terminate for convenience during any Subscription Term.

- Termination. Either party may terminate these Terms or an applicable Order Form with written notice if the other party: (a) materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within thirty (30) days after written notice, or (b) becomes insolvent, ceases business operations, or becomes subject to bankruptcy or similar proceedings.

- Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is identified as confidential or should reasonably be understood to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information does not include Customer Data, or information that is publicly available without breach, already known to the receiving party, received from a third party without restriction, or independently developed without use of the other party’s Confidential Information.
- Obligations. The receiving party must: (a) use Confidential Information only to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under these Terms; (b) protect Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own similar information, but no less than reasonable care; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information except to its personnel, affiliates, subcontractors, or advisers who need to know it and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those in these Terms.
- Required Disclosure. If the receiving party is required by law or legal process to disclose Confidential Information, it may do so but must provide prompt notice to the disclosing party (where legally permitted) and limit disclosure to what is legally required.
- Return or Destruction. Upon written request, the receiving party will return or delete the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, except that the receiving party may retain copies as required by law or in routine backups, provided such information remains subject to this Section.
- Survival of Confidentiality Obligations. Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for three (3) years, except that trade secrets remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.
- RISK MANAGEMENT
- Mutual Representations. Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal authority to enter into these Terms and to perform its obligations under them.
- Limited Warranty; Disclaimer. PROVIDER WARRANTS THAT IT WILL PROVIDE THE SERVICES IN A PROFESSIONAL AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER CONSISTENT WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

EXCEPT FOR THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE SERVICES AND ALL RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
- Indemnification by Provider. Provider will defend and indemnify Customer against any third-party claim alleging that Customer’s authorized use of the Services infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay any damages or costs finally awarded, provided that Customer promptly notifies Provider of the claim and cooperates in the defense.
Provider may resolve such claims by (a) modifying the Services, (b) obtaining a right for Customer to continue using them, or (c) terminating the affected Services and refunding any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the applicable term. This Section does not apply to claims arising from: (i) Customer Data; (ii) use of the Services in combination with products not provided by Provider; (iii) unauthorized use; or (iv) modifications not made by Provider. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH PROVIDER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ALLEGING INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RELATING TO THE SERVICES. - Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend and indemnify Provider, its affiliates, and their personnel from and against any third-party claim, and all related losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising from: (a) Customer Data (including any allegation that Customer Data is unlawful, inaccurate, infringes third-party rights, or was collected without required notices or consents); (b) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services in violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) any integrations, configurations, scripts, or systems not provided by Provider; or (d) Customer’s modification or combination of the Services with non-Provider products. Provider will promptly notify Customer of any such claim and will reasonably cooperate in the defense.
- Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- NO INDIRECT DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- AGGREGATE CAP. EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID AND PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE, PROVIDER’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED (100) DOLLARS OR THE AMOUNT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO RENDER THIS LIMITATION VALID AND ENFORCEABLE IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE CLAIM IS BROUGHT.
- Exceptions. These limitations do not apply to: (i) indemnification obligations; (ii) Customer’s payment obligations; (iii) breaches of Section 9 (Confidentiality) or intellectual property rights; (iv) fraud or willful misconduct; or (v) liability that cannot be limited by law.
- Basis of Bargain. The parties acknowledge that the limitations and exclusions in this Section are an essential basis of their agreement and apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
- Equitable Relief. Nothing in these Terms limits either party’s right to seek urgent or equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the requirement to post bond, to prevent actual or threatened misuse of its intellectual property or Confidential Information.
- Insurance. Provider will maintain insurance coverage appropriate to its business and the Services, which may be maintained by Provider or its affiliates. Provider will provide evidence of such coverage upon reasonable request.
- MISCELLANEOUS.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms and the applicable Order Forms constitute the complete agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same subject matter. Any terms or conditions in a purchase order, vendor portal, confirmation, or other document issued by Customer that conflict with or supplement these Terms or an Order Form are void and will not apply, even if Provider accepts or performs under such document.
- Notices. All notices under these Terms must be in writing and delivered (a) by email, or (b) to the notice address specified in the Order Form. A notice is deemed received on the next business day after it is sent, unless the sender receives a delivery failure notice. Either party may update its notice address or email by providing notice to the other party.
- Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations (other than payment obligations) due to events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, failures of utilities or telecommunications, or government actions (“Force Majeure Event”). The affected party will promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event and use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.
- Amendments, Modifications, and Waivers. Any amendment or waiver must be in writing and agreed to by both parties. A waiver applies only to the specific instance and does not constitute a continuing waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
- Severability and Interpretation. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”
- Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent, except that Provider may assign these Terms without consent to (a) an affiliate; (b) a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Provider’s business or assets; or (c) an entity acquiring control of Provider. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. These Terms bind the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
- Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship. No third party has rights under these Terms except that Provider’s affiliates and subcontractors may rely on the disclaimers and limitations set out in these Terms.
- Compliance. Each party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including export-control, trade sanctions, anti-corruption, and anti-bribery laws. Customer must not use the Services in violation of such laws or allow access by prohibited persons. Customer is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services, including its collection and processing of Customer Data, complies with all laws applicable to its business, operations, and industry, including privacy, consumer protection, and data-security laws. Customer must not use the Services for any unlawful purpose.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms and any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to them will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the contracting Provider entity is organized, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in that jurisdiction and waives any objection to venue or inconvenient forum. The parties waive any right to a jury trial. Each party waives any right to a jury trial and agrees that any dispute must be brought on an individual basis and not as a class or representative action, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
- Costs and Attorney’s Fees. In any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party, in addition to any other relief awarded.
- Electronic Acceptance. Electronic acceptance or execution of these Terms or any Order Form—including via click-acceptance, electronic signature, or use of the Services—constitutes a valid and binding agreement between the parties.
- Language. The Parties have required that these Terms and all deeds, documents and notices relating to these Terms be drawn up in the English language. Les parties aux présentes ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous autres contrats, documents ou avis afférents aux présentes soient rédigés en langue anglaise.
