Last updated: January 15, 2025 · Effective: January 15, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (or the law firm on whose behalf you act, "Customer") and Legalitize, Inc. ("Legalitize," "we," or "us") governing access to and use of the Legalitize legal practice management platform, including all associated software, AI features, APIs, and documentation (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you represent that you have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of your law firm, and that you and your firm will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.

2. Service Description

Legalitize provides an AI-powered legal practice management platform enabling law firms to manage matters, documents, deadlines, billing, compliance, and client communications. The Service includes AI-assisted drafting, research, and document analysis features powered by large language models.

3. Account Registration & Security

You must register for an account to access the Service. You agree to: (a) provide accurate, complete information; (b) maintain the security of your credentials; (c) immediately notify us of any unauthorized access; and (d) ensure all users added to your firm account comply with these Terms.

You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account. Legalitize is not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your account due to your failure to safeguard credentials.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Use the Service to harass, harm, or discriminate against any person
• Upload malware, viruses, or any code designed to damage or impair systems
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the platform
• Use automated scraping tools against our AI endpoints without authorization
• Violate applicable bar rules, professional responsibility obligations, or client confidentiality duties
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without written authorization

5. Intellectual Property

Legalitize IP. The Service, including its software, AI models, design, branding, and documentation, is owned by Legalitize and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Legalitize IP to you.

Your Content. You retain all ownership rights in documents, matters, and other content you upload or create ("Customer Content"). You grant Legalitize a limited license to host, process, and display Customer Content solely to provide the Service.

AI Output. Documents and drafts generated by AI features using your prompts and inputs are considered Customer Content and are yours to use. Legalitize does not assert ownership over AI-generated outputs specific to your matters.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Legalitize's confidential obligations with respect to attorney-client privileged materials are set forth in our Data Processing Agreement.

7. Subscription & Payment

Access to the Service requires a paid subscription. Fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as provided in our refund policy. We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice.

Failure to pay may result in suspension of access. Accounts suspended for non-payment for more than 60 days may be terminated and data deleted per our retention policy.

8. Service Availability & Modifications

We strive for 99.9% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance will be communicated in advance. We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or deprecate features with reasonable notice.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY LEGAL PURPOSE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEGALITIZE'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT WILL LEGALITIZE BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Legalitize and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) any Customer Content that infringes third-party rights.

12. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for IP infringement or unauthorized data access.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect via email or in-app notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
