Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LegalClock (the “Service”). By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service is — and is not

The Service is a software tool that assists licensed legal professionals by extracting candidate dates from documents and computing litigation deadlines using encoded court rules.

The Service does not provide legal advice, does not constitute the practice of law, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. The Service is not a substitute for the professional judgment, diligence, and independent verification of a licensed attorney. Every extracted date and every computed deadline must be independently confirmed by a qualified attorney against the underlying authority before it is relied upon for any purpose. You — not the Service, not LegalClock — remain solely and exclusively responsible for every deadline and every filing in your matters.

2. Early Access / Beta status — no warranty of accuracy

The Service is currently in an Early Access / Beta phase. The encoded jurisdiction rules:

• are provided on a best-efforts, as-available basis;
• may be incomplete, out of date, incorrectly encoded, or inapplicable to your specific court, local rules, judge’s standing orders, or fact pattern;
• have not yet been reviewed and validated by a licensed attorney for any jurisdiction; and
• must be independently verified by a licensed attorney before any reliance.

Jurisdictions shown as “reference” or “scaffold” are illustrative only and carry no warranty of legal accuracy. Do not use the Service as your sole or primary source of deadline verification. No computed date eliminates your professional duty of independent research.

3. Eligibility and acceptable use

• You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of forming a binding contract.
• The Service is intended for use by or under the direct supervision of licensed legal professionals who retain full professional responsibility for their matters.
• You will only submit documents you are lawfully authorized to process and will comply with all applicable professional rules of conduct, confidentiality obligations, and data-protection laws, including any required client-consent before submitting privileged documents to a cloud service.
• You will not use the Service to violate any law, court rule, ethical rule, or third-party right.
• You will not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or circumvent the Service’s security or access controls.

4. Your account and credentials

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at gibrancorbin11@gmail.com of any unauthorized access or suspected breach. We may suspend or disable accounts that show signs of compromise or misuse.

5. Your content

You retain all ownership rights in the documents, data, and content you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). By submitting Your Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to process, store, and transmit Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and authorizations necessary to submit Your Content for this processing, including any required client consent.

6. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

• Access to the Service requires an active subscription. All fees, billing periods, and plan details are presented at checkout and processed by Stripe, Inc. on our behalf.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled before the renewal date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid period.
• No refunds. All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or as expressly offered by us in writing.
• We may modify pricing on prospective notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
• During the Early Access / Beta period we reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue any plan at any time on reasonable notice.

7. Termination and suspension

You may close your account at any time by contacting gibrancorbin11@gmail.com. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without refund, for: (a) breach of these Terms; (b) conduct that poses legal, regulatory, or reputational risk to us or other users; or (c) misuse of the Service. On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.

8. Disclaimers of warranty

The service is provided “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults,” without any warranties of any kind, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, completeness, reliability, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the service will meet your requirements, that any computed deadline is legally accurate or complete, or that the service will be error-free or available at any particular time. You assume all risk arising from your use of the service and from any reliance on any deadline or output produced by the service. This disclaimer applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will LegalClock or its owners, officers, employees, contractors, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any: (a) indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; (b) loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities; (c) missed court deadlines, statute of limitations expirations, default judgments, or professional-liability or malpractice claims arising from any reliance on a computed date; or (d) damages arising from unauthorized access to your content — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the service, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), will not exceed the greater of: (i) the total fees you paid us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD). This cap applies to the aggregate of all claims, not each individually.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LegalClock and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of or reliance on the Service or any computed deadline; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law, court rule, professional conduct rule, or third-party right; or (e) any malpractice, negligence, or professional-responsibility claim connected to any deadline the Service computed. This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account.

11. Professional responsibility and no unauthorized practice of law

The Service is a software decision-support tool. It does not and cannot practice law. Nothing in the Service, its outputs, its encoded rules, or any communication from LegalClock constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, or the practice of law in any jurisdiction. Use of the Service does not relieve any attorney of their professional duties, including their duty of competence and diligence under the applicable rules of professional conduct. Each user is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the professional-conduct rules of every jurisdiction in which they practice. Attorneys who use the Service remain the sole responsible party for all deadlines in their matters.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action relating to these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any right to bring claims as a class action or representative action; all claims must be brought in your individual capacity only.

Before filing any formal claim, the party raising the dispute must provide written notice to the other party describing the dispute and allow 30 days for good-faith informal resolution. Notice to us: gibrancorbin11@gmail.com.

13. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary; remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms confer no rights on any third party, including your clients.
• Changes. We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them freely in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
