THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN IT.
“There are a substantial number of overall AI benefits [within the legal profession], with the list growing daily. In general, AI: (i) efficiently performs repetitive tasks; (ii) reduces human error; (iii) increases efficiency; and (iv) augments human intelligence. Specific to the legal industry, AI has the potential to facilitate greater access to justice.” – New York State Bar Association Report and Recommendation of the NYSB Task Force on Artificial Intelligence.
Several state bar associations have issued guidance on lawyers’ use of generative AI. The following Terms are guided by those statements to provide our Users that are attorneys, we strive to give them the confidence they need to employ our technology in compliance with their own ethical guidelines. We will continue to update our software to meet state bar requirements as we become aware of them. Complying with ethical guidance is in our best interest, as it is in yours. If you see or experience an issue that we should know about, including the identification of biases within the Software, please let us know at support [at] ai.law so we can fix it right away.
For the purposes of these Terms of Use, “Software” refers to the proprietary software solutions provided by www.ai.law Corp., including, but not limited to, our artificial intelligence-driven legal solutions platform, our technology stack, and any related programs, tools, applications, features, code, algorithms, and interfaces. The Software may be provided through various mediums including, but not limited to, a website interface, downloadable application, cloud-based service, API, or other delivery methods as determined by www.ai.law Corp. The term “Software” does not include any information or documents that you upload into our system.
Your use of the Software is governed by these Terms and Conditions of Use, our Privacy Policy, any applicable End User License Agreement, and any other rules or policies associated with the Software as established by www.ai.law Corp.
By accessing and using our Software, you hereby affirm that you are at least 18 years of age, or of the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, if that is older than 18, and have the full power, authority, and legal capacity to enter into and comply with the obligations under these Terms. We do not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from persons under the age of 18.
Further, if you are using our Software on behalf of an organization, entity, or third party (collectively, “Organization”), you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that Organization with the authority: (i) to bind the Organization to these Terms and to ensure the Organization’s compliance with them; (ii) to consent to, or to revoke consent for, processing activities involving personal data on behalf of the Organization; and (iii) to agree to any other legal or contractual obligations on behalf of the Organization. You further represent and warrant that your use of our Software will be in accordance with these Terms, with your Organization’s business purposes and with all applicable laws and regulations.
www.ai.law Corp. employs multiple methods to maintain reasonable and adequate security and confidentiality of User’s data to comply with the requirements of HIPAA. Some specific security features include:
Encryption at Rest
All data stored within www.ai.law Corp systems is encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key. This encryption at rest ensures that the data is secure and inaccessible to unauthorized parties when it is not actively being used or moved.
Encryption in Transit
Data transmitted to and from www.ai.law Corp’s services is protected using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, version 1.2 or higher. This encryption in transit safeguards all data exchanges, ensuring that any information sent over the network remains confidential and tamper-proof.
Access Controls
Access to sensitive data within www.ai.law Corp’s systems is limited and controlled. Measures are in place to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to user data, based on their roles and the necessity of data access for their job functions. These access controls are reviewed and updated to maintain data security.
Cloud Storage Data Encryption
We employ Google Cloud Storage which encrypts user data on the server-side before it’s stored. Additional encryption layers include: Server-side encryption, Customer-managed encryption keys through Cloud Key Management Service, Customer-supplied encryption keys for added protection, and Client-side encryption where data is encrypted before it is sent to Cloud Storage.
Authentication and Authorization
We validate user identity during each login using multiple authentication methods to ensure security and compatibility. Our authorization process controls user access after authentication using methods like Role-based access controls (RBAC) and Attribute-based access control (ABAC).
Maintaining user data (and by extension users’ clients data) confidentiality is a priority of www.ai.law Corp. This includes maintaining confidentiality within our own software stack and ensuring that the 3rd party providers we contract with also maintain systems that are geared towards confidentiality of data.
www.ai.law Corp. personnel does not normally review User submissions into the Software unless we detect a problem with a submission or if we detect or if you report a problem using the software. In those instances, only personnel who need to access the information to resolve the issue do so. Access to User data is restricted to key personnel. Www.ai.law Corp. may access API data for abuse monitoring and investigation
LLM Data Handling
We utilize APIs to process your data through third party LLMs. The third party LLMs that we use represent that they do not use your data for model training and do not use your data for its own use nor to improve its product. LLMs. OpenAI reports that LLM data is deleted within 30 days unless required for legal reasons, but may remain in your account with us longer if you do not delete it, for ease of use of the platform as a case proceeds over multiple months. The LLMs state that they maintain compliance with enterprise-grade security standards, including SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and more.
Users within the same organization will have the ability to access data for other Users within the same organization, such that a paralegal and attorney could work on the same matter for a client. This allows lawyers the ability to manage their professional responsibility requirements over employed non-lawyer Users of their organization.
(a) Ownership – All rights, titles, and interest in and to the Website, the user portal, front end and back end design, including the underlying software and code that operate and control the same, and all content and other materials available on the Website and portal that is not relating to any user’s client (collectively known as the “Site Content”), are the exclusive property of www.ai.law Corp. or the vendors it licenses software from. The Site Content is protected by copyright, trademark, or other laws of both the United States and foreign countries, which may include patents and patents pending.
(b) www.ai.law Corp. does not claim any ownership or intellectual property rights in the data (including client information) that you upload into our Software. We do not share inputted information with third parties (other than the LLMs that run the AI), nor do we use your data to train our AI algorithms, nor access it except how described herein. Our software is not “self-learning” based on inputs you provide.
(c) Third-Party Rights – Certain features and Software available on the Website, inclusive of artificial intelligence (AI) used for assisting in legal matters (“Software”), may incorporate and utilize software, technology, and services owned and controlled by third parties. All ownership and intellectual property rights to such third-party software, technology, and services will remain with their respective owners. www.ai.law Corp. does not claim any ownership or intellectual property rights in the underlying AI software used in the Software. Our system utilizes several AI vendors including OpenAi’s artificial intelligence through it’s Business services, which are subject to its Business Terms of Use available at https://openai.com/policies/business-terms. We therefore require Users to comply to the extent possible and relevant those terms and the terms that are incorporate therein.
(d) Use of Site and Software – Unless expressly provided in these Terms of Use, you have no rights, title, or interest in or to the Site Content or the Software, and all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use are reserved by www.ai.law Corp. and its licensors.
(e) Permitted Uses – You are permitted to use, copy, display, and distribute the results or outcomes generated by our Software. Lawyers may use the results from our Software in clients’ matters and may bill their clients for the results in accordance with the rules that govern attorneys (the “Permitted Uses”). Those with agreements with us to resell our software (license agreements) may do so under the terms of those agreements, subject to these terms to the extent that they do not conflict with the licensing agreement. However, do not infringe any third-party rights. You are not permitted to use our software in violation of any law, such as those laws governing copyrights and trademarks.
(f) Restrictions – Except for the Permitted Uses, you may not use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, or otherwise exploit the Site Content, Software, or other proprietary rights outside the rights designated herein: (i) without the express prior written consent of www.ai.law Corp. and the respective owners, and (ii) in any way that violates any third-party rights.
(e) Permission to Share: www.ai.law Corp. grants the User the right to share specific portions of the Service with their clients through a secure, unique link provided by www.ai.law Corp. These links may be used exclusively for the purpose of facilitating the completion of relevant questions, inquiries, or data collection necessary for legal proceedings, including but not limited to legal discovery requests.
www.ai.law Corp. does not regularly delete user data that is uploaded or provided during the active service period of a User. This includes a broad spectrum of data such as documents, images, personal information, or any other form of data entrusted to us by our Users. In the event of service termination, all user data will be retained for a period of 30 days post-termination. This grace period is intended to provide Users with the opportunity to retrieve any data they require or to resolve any outstanding issues. After the lapse of these 30 days, we reserve the right to delete all user data associated with the terminated service, although we are not obligated to do so.
Users are prohibited from utilizing our system as a storage facility for large discovery files or for the purpose of holding substantial volumes of data. Our platform is not designed to support the storage of excessively large datasets or files that could compromise the efficiency and effectiveness of our services. We actively monitor the use of our system to ensure compliance with this policy. Should we detect the storage of unusually large files or an excessive amount of data by a User, we reserve the right to impose limitations on further uploads by the concerned User until a significant portion of the stored data is removed and bill the User for the excess usage.
The User acknowledges and understands that the results produced by the Software, including all outputs, analyses, and recommendations, are generated primarily through advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, and have not been individually reviewed, verified, or otherwise endorsed by a licensed attorney or other human reviewer.
The Software was originally designed for commercial use by licensed attorneys and not end consumers. The information provided by the Software does not constitute legal advice, and should not be used as a substitute for legal advice from a qualified attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction. Users should not rely on the Software for any legal decisions or actions without consulting with a licensed attorney within the relevant practice area searched. The information provided may not reflect the most current version of the law, as it is common for large language models to work with data up to a certain date.
The Software uses data gathered from a wide variety of sources, and while www.ai.law Corp. endeavors to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this data, it cannot guarantee the correctness, completeness, or currentness of such data. As such, the Company makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or utility of any information provided by the Software.
Use of the Software is at the User’s own risk. www.ai.law Corp. assumes no responsibility or liability for any decisions made or actions taken, or not taken, by the User or any third party, based upon reliance on any information or data provided by the Software. Users should independently verify any information provided by the Software before making any decisions or taking any actions based on such information. Think of the Software as doing the job of an advanced junior associate requiring some oversight.
The User acknowledges and understands that there is no attorney-client relationship between User and www.ai.law Corp. We are not acting as a lawyer, nor your lawyer. These terms do not constitute an engagement letter for legal services. We do not limit use of our software to avoid conflicts of interest with other Users (to which there very well may be). There is no attorney-client privilege between us. While your use of the Software may be protected from disclosure in court by way of a work-product doctrine, that is not the result of an attorney-client privilege between us if such privilege exists.
Our Software uses neural networks and predictive text to provide information to users, similar to paper guides about court procedure or form books directed towards pro se litigants. We assert that we have a first amendment right to provide this information to you as well as due process rights to occupational freedom. A goal of making this software available to you is to narrow the justice gap of those who would otherwise be unable to obtain legal help.
In the event of a security breach or unauthorized access to user data, ai.law Corp. commits to promptly notify those users who have been directly affected. Notification will be made as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than seventy-two (72) hours after ai.law Corp. has become aware of the breach, subject to any delay necessary due to law enforcement requirements or as required by law or regulation.
The notification to affected users will detail, to the extent available, the nature of the security breach, the specific categories of personal data that were involved, the estimated number of affected individuals, the likely consequences of the breach, and the measures taken or proposed by ai.law Corp. to address and mitigate the security breach. Affected users will be informed through their provided contact information and, as appropriate, through additional means of communication to ensure effective notification.
To utilize certain features and Software offered by www.ai.law Corp., you need to register and create an account.
Upon account creation, you will be required to select a password. It is your responsibility to create a strong, secure password and to keep this password confidential. You agree not to share your password with any third party outside those in your organization to whom you shall be responsible for their usage, (see next section) nor to let anyone else access your account or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
You are entirely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, including any charges that may incur and any content that is posted through your account. In the event you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password, you agree to immediately notify www.ai.law Corp. at support [at] ai.law.
Despite having taken reasonable steps to protect your personal and account information, www.ai.law Corp. cannot and does not guarantee the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your information where our own security measures have been breached. See https://www.ai.law/privacy for additional information about how we maintain and manage data privacy.
(a) No European Union Use – The Software is expressly not intended for marketing to, or use by, citizens of the European Union.
(b) If using a LawStart, LawPro, LawSampler, LawSelect, or LawPro+ account: these types of accounts have per tool usage caps, as indicated within your administrative section of the app. Therefore, each individual user of the Software within the same organization or company is not required to obtain and maintain their own separate license and may share licenses limited to the aggregate allowable usage limits. Users that share licenses do so at their own risk with respect to password sharing, and usage by any user is imputed to usage by the account owner. The term “user” in this context refers to any individual who accesses or uses the Software , whether directly or indirectly, including but not limited to employees, contractors, agents, or any other persons affiliated with the licensee. Licenses are not permitted to be shared by Users at different organizations, companies, or law firms.
(c) If using an Essential Suite, Pro Suite, or Premier Suite: these types of accounts are sold per seat/per user and are capped each at: 5,200 tokens for Essential Suite, 13,100 tokens for Pro Suite, and 20,900 tokens for Premier Suite. Excess usage may prompt a request for the user to add another license and may prompt an account review to ensure compliance with the requirement that each attorney (user) has their own license, with one paralegal allowed a free account with each attorney license sold. Licenses are not permitted to be shared by Users at different organizations, companies, or law firms.
Trial Period, Subscription, and Payment Terms
www.ai.law Corp. requires users wishing to access the Software purchase access through an offered plan, as www.ai.law Corp. may offer from time to time. The details of these access plans, including pricing and terms, will be provided at the time of purchase. You agree to pay all sales taxes in addition to prices stated. Each subscription level has different usage caps and accessibility to the platform. You may review these at www.ai.law/pricing. Exceeding these limits results in additional overage fees as indicated within the Software. You must opt-in to overage fees before we will allow for and before we will bill you for the overages.
In case you change your subscription plan, the new plan will come into effect immediately, resetting your plan to the new subscription level, and billing you on a pro rata basis. Overage fees already accrued will not be waived. Unused AI uses will not roll over from month to month. Payment for the subscription or flat fee is for the use of the software, and the limit on the number of AI uses represents the upper limit of access for that specific plan. You may purchase additional uses of the software if you reach your limit before the end of the month.
Unless cancelled, subscription plans will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle that matches the most recent billing cycle of your account. Fees for subscription or flat fee access are due upfront and are non-refundable, even if the access to the Software is unused. Cancellation of the Software will allow usage through the remaining billing cycle.
If we advertise a guarantee then we will honor that guarantee, such as not being satisfied with the product, so long as you notify us within a reasonable period of time after subscribing but no later than 7 days following your subscription. If you experience any issues with the software, please contact us at support [at] ai.law and we will try to resolve the issue for you.
User agrees not to, and will not permit any third party to: modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organization from the Website, the Software, or any other part of the www.ai.law Corp. service.

In those events, Users must state “Powered by AI.Law” on their connected website.
www.ai.law Corp. strives to maintain the highest level of uptime for its Software. However, we cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted access to our Software. There will inevitably be times when the Software may be unavailable for use due to necessary maintenance, updates, upgrades, and repairs or because of the occurrence of unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control, such as failures of our service providers, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, power outages or natural disasters. There may be periods when the AI software we utilize is unavailable due to high usage, data limitations, or other issues that impact those services to us.
Such downtime can be periodic and during this time, you may be unable to access your account or the Software. You understand and agree that there will be instances when the Software will be interrupted for scheduled maintenance and upgrades, for emergency repairs, high usage, or due to the failure of telecommunications links and equipment that are beyond our control.

Neither party shall be held liable or responsible to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party including but not limited to fires, earthquakes, floods, embargoes, wars, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, terrorism, failed security updates by third parties, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other party.
An event of force majeure does not relieve a party from liability for an obligation which arose before the occurrence of that event, nor does that event affect the obligation to pay money in a timely manner which matured prior to the occurrence of that event. There is no liability for non-performance during the period that the force majeure event continues, and the affected party will have an extension of time for performance equal to such period.
This Force Majeure clause shall not be construed as relieving either party from its obligation to pay any sums due to the other.

(a) Arbitration Agreement – Any and all disputes or claims arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, including any issues relating to its existence, validity, interpretation, breach, termination, enforcement, or any other aspect of the Agreement, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Such arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration institution, to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties or by the AAA. The location of the arbitration proceedings will be via online teleconferencing or at the Company’s principal place of business, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language. The decision of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding, and any award made as a result of such arbitration may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction. In the event that any legal or other action is brought to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement. If you are unable to afford the filing fee or if the filing fee would make this provision unenforceable, then we will pay it for you.
(b) NO CLASS ACTION – By accepting these Terms of Use, you acknowledge and agree that both you and www.ai.law Corp. are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding. Unless both you and www.ai.law Corp. otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.
(c) Jury Trial Waiver – If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and www.ai.law Corp. waive any right to a jury trial. This waiver applies to any legal action or proceeding, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise.
(d) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes – All claims, disputes, controversies, or disagreements of any kind, whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, including but not limited to the interpretation and scope of this Agreement and the arbitrability of the controversy or claim, are to be settled by binding arbitration in the state of Ohio, or another location mutually agreeable to the Parties. The decision of the arbitration shall be final and binding upon both Parties, and an award of arbitration may be confirmed in a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to seek other remedies in court, except to the extent such waiver is prohibited by applicable law. The User acknowledges and agrees that this provision constitutes an essential element of this Agreement, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement or allowed you to use the Software.
(e) Claim Period. To the extent allowed by law, any and all claims or causes of action arising out of or related to this Agreement must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues. Failure to initiate a claim within this one-year period shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of the right to pursue such claim.
Before any formal arbitration proceeding may be initiated, the following preliminary steps must be taken:
(a) Written Notice – If a User has a dispute, the User must first give www.ai.law Corp. an opportunity to resolve the dispute by sending a written description of your claim to www.ai.law Corp. by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, at the Company’s address: www.ai.law Corp., c/o Doucet Co LPA, 485 Metro Place S., Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017. This written notice (“Notice”) must (i) describe in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought, along with a detailed calculation of any alleged damages.
(b) Company Review – Upon receipt of the Notice, the Company will have a period of thirty (30) days within which it may (i) resolve the claim by curing the issue causing the dispute, (ii) offer to settle the dispute in a manner acceptable to the User, or (iii) deny the claim made by the User. This step is intended to encourage resolution of the dispute without resort to formal proceedings.
(c) Conditions Precedent to Arbitration – The User agrees not to initiate any arbitration proceeding (or legal action if applicable) until after the expiration of the thirty (30) day review period following the Company’s receipt of the Notice, or the Company’s issuance of a written response denying the claim or refusing to satisfy the claim, whichever occurs first. This period is intended to provide an opportunity for the dispute to be resolved without the necessity of formal proceedings. The User acknowledges and agrees that this provision constitutes an essential element of this Agreement, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement or allowed you to use the Software.
(d) Refusal of Offer – If we make an offer to you and you refuse it and then do not recover at least that amount through arbitration, you agree to pay the costs and fees associated with the arbitration to the extent allowed by law.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Use, by operation of law or otherwise, without www.ai.law Corp.’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms of Use, without such consent, will be null and void.

(b) Jurisdiction and Venue for Arbitration – The Parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the arbitration institution selected pursuant to the Dispute Resolution clause of this Agreement and agree that such institution shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any Dispute, which may be remote.
(c) Jurisdiction and Venue for Court Proceedings – In the event that any matter is adjudicated in court rather than in arbitration, or to enforce an arbitration decision, any such action or proceeding by either of the Parties shall be brought only in any state or federal court located within the state of Ohio, United States. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in such venue.

If we make changes to these Terms, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms and we will provide you with a notification of such changes by posting the updated Terms on our website at www.ai.law/terms and/or notifying you via email or through the Software.

This Agreement, including any addendums and attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between the User and the Company and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both the User and the Company. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a User purchase order or in any other User order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
