Article 3 — Scope of the Service
3.1 The Service is a Drafting Aid
LegaWrite is a tool for producing and refining written work product. It supports the professional judgment of the lawyer using it; it does not supply that judgment.
3.2 No Legal Advice
Nothing the Service produces is legal advice. Output is generated by software in response to the material and instructions a user provides, without knowledge of the full factual record, the governing authorities, the procedural posture, or the client's objectives. Output should be treated as a starting draft to be verified, corrected, and exercised judgment over — not as a conclusion about the law.
3.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship with LegaWrite
Use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between any user and LegaWrite, and LegaWrite does not represent any user or any user's client. LegaWrite is a software provider, not counsel.
3.4 Intended for Legal Professionals
The Service is built for use by licensed attorneys and the personnel they supervise, and is not offered to the general public as a substitute for retaining counsel. A member of the public seeking help with a legal problem should consult a licensed attorney rather than use the Service. Article 4 states the eligibility conditions in full.
3.5 Accuracy is Not Guaranteed
Output may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong, including as to citations, quotations, dates, party names, and statements of law. Every use of Output in client work requires independent verification by a person who holds a Qualifying License.
3.6 Availability and Change
LegaWrite may modify, add, or discontinue features of the Service. This Policy applies to the Service as made available from time to time.
Article 4 — Eligibility, Licensure, and Professional Responsibility
4.1 Attorney Eligibility Requirement
Access to and use of LegaWrite is restricted to individuals who, at all times during the term of their account, hold a valid and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. state, territory, or other applicable U.S. jurisdiction, and whose license is in good standing with the licensing authority of that jurisdiction. Eligibility is a continuing condition of access, not a one-time entry requirement; it must be satisfied at the moment an account is created and must remain satisfied for so long as the account exists.
Eligibility is personal to the individual account holder. An account is issued to a single licensed attorney and may not be shared with, transferred to, or used on behalf of any other person, whether or not that other person is themselves licensed. Where an account is provisioned or paid for by a firm, organization, or other entity, the individual to whom the account credentials are issued remains the sole eligible user of that account, and the entity is responsible for ensuring that every account it provisions is issued to an individual who satisfies this Section.
4.2 Prohibition on Use by Unlicensed Persons
Use of LegaWrite by any person who is not currently licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction is prohibited. This prohibition applies without regard to the purpose of the intended use and without regard to whether the person believes their use to be limited, exploratory, educational, or otherwise inconsequential.
Without limiting the foregoing, a person who is not so licensed may not create an account, log into an account created by another person, submit matter materials or other content for processing, generate or export any work product, or otherwise operate any feature of LegaWrite. An account holder may not knowingly permit an unlicensed person to do any of these things through the account holder's credentials or at the account holder's direction.
Nothing in this Section is intended to permit indirect use in circumvention of the direct prohibition. Arranging for an unlicensed person to operate LegaWrite while an eligible attorney is nominally the account holder is a violation of this Policy.
4.3 Representations and Warranties Regarding Licensure
By creating an account, and again each time you access or use LegaWrite, you represent and warrant that you currently hold a valid license to practice law in at least one U.S. state, territory, or other applicable U.S. jurisdiction; that such license is active and in good standing; that you are not subject to any suspension, disbarment, interim suspension, resignation with charges pending, or other order or condition that presently bars you from practicing law in that jurisdiction; and that you are not otherwise prohibited by any court, licensing authority, or applicable law from engaging in the conduct for which you use LegaWrite.
These representations are made anew on each access and each use. If any of them ceases to be true, you must immediately stop using LegaWrite and notify us so that your account can be suspended or closed. Continued use after any of these representations has ceased to be true is a material breach of this Policy.
4.4 Verification; No Duty to Verify
We rely on the representations you make under Section 4.3. We do not independently verify licensure as a condition of granting access, and we assume no obligation to do so. The absence of verification is not a waiver of the eligibility requirement, is not a representation by us that any user is in fact licensed, and may not be relied upon by any user or any third party as evidence of any user's licensure status.
We reserve the right, but undertake no duty, to request evidence of licensure or good standing at any time, to consult publicly available records maintained by licensing authorities, and to suspend access pending a response to such a request. A failure or refusal to respond to a reasonable request for evidence of eligibility within the time we specify is itself a ground for suspension or termination under Section 4.6.
4.5 Professional Responsibility Acknowledgment
You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) LegaWrite is a drafting and analysis tool. It does not provide legal advice, does not form an attorney-client relationship with any person, and is not a substitute for the independent professional judgment of a licensed attorney.
(b) You remain solely and fully responsible for all work product you produce with the assistance of LegaWrite, including its accuracy, its completeness, its legal sufficiency, and its fitness for the matter and jurisdiction in which it is used, and you must independently review, verify, and where necessary correct that work product before relying on it or submitting it to any client, opposing party, or tribunal.
(c) You remain bound by all rules of professional conduct, court rules, standing orders, and other authority applicable to you and to the matters on which you work, including duties of competence, diligence, candor to the tribunal, supervision, and the obligation to verify legal authority you cite; the use of LegaWrite neither satisfies nor diminishes any of those duties.
(d) You are responsible for the confidentiality of client information and other protected material you submit to LegaWrite, for obtaining any client consent required by the rules applicable to you before submitting such material, and for safeguarding your account credentials against use by any other person.
(e) You are responsible for compliance with any obligation applicable to you to disclose, or to refrain from disclosing, the use of technology-assisted drafting to a client, a tribunal, or any other person, and for compliance with any court rule or standing order governing the use of such technology in a filing.
4.6 Consequences of Ineligibility, False Information, or Violation
If you do not satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Article, if any representation you make under Section 4.3 is or becomes untrue, if you provide false or misleading information in connection with your account, or if you otherwise violate this Article, we may suspend or terminate your account and revoke your access immediately and without prior notice.
We may in addition decline to issue any refund of fees paid, restrict or withhold access to content generated through the account to the extent permitted by applicable law, and report the conduct to the relevant licensing authority, court, or other governmental body where we believe in good faith that such a report is required or appropriate.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of LegaWrite while ineligible, from the untruth of any representation you make under Section 4.3, or from your breach of this Article. The remedies described in this Section are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedy available to us at law or in equity.
4.7 No Warranty of Compliance
We make no representation or warranty that LegaWrite, any output it generates, or any use you make of it complies with the rules of professional conduct, court rules, standing orders, filing requirements, statutes, regulations, or other authority applicable to you, to your client, or to the tribunal before which you appear. Such requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time, and determining and satisfying them is your responsibility alone.
No statement, whether written or oral, made by us or by any of our personnel, and no feature, template, prompt, citation, or other element of LegaWrite, constitutes advice that any particular use, disclosure, or filing is compliant. You must make that determination yourself, exercising your own professional judgment, before you rely on any output.
4.8 Survival
Sections 4.3 (Representations and Warranties Regarding Licensure), 4.5 (Professional Responsibility Acknowledgment), 4.6 (Consequences of Ineligibility, False Information, or Violation), and 4.7 (No Warranty of Compliance), together with this Section 4.8, survive the suspension, termination, or expiration of your account and of any agreement between you and us, and remain enforceable with respect to any use of LegaWrite that occurred before that suspension, termination, or expiration.
