Terms of Service

Last updated: June 10, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and ClearPrecedent, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("ClearPrecedent," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the ClearPrecedent website at clearprecedent.com, the authenticated application at app.clearprecedent.com, and any related features, tools, content, or services we make available (together, the "Services").

By creating an account, paying for a motion, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Important Notice: ClearPrecedent Is Not Legal Advice

Please read this section carefully. It applies to every part of the Services.

ClearPrecedent is a software product. It is not a law firm. It does not give legal advice. Using the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and ClearPrecedent, its employees, contractors, or owners.

The Services include a feature called the Motion Builder. The Motion Builder produces a draft document based on inputs you provide. That draft is a starting point for your own review and editing, not a finished legal opinion tailored to your situation. We do not select your legal strategy for you. We do not tell you whether to file. We do not represent you in any matter. We do not appear in court on your behalf, and we cannot accept service of process for you or anyone else.

Insights articles, glossary entries, statute and rule pages, and other educational materials on clearprecedent.com are general information. They are not advice about your specific case.

Law is jurisdiction-specific, time-sensitive, and often turns on facts that software cannot evaluate. You are responsible for reading any draft the Motion Builder produces, confirming that it fits your situation, editing it to reflect the facts and the law that apply to you, and deciding whether to file it. If your matter is high-stakes or unfamiliar, we strongly recommend that you consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction before filing anything.

You can use ClearPrecedent whether or not you are a lawyer. We do not require bar admission to sign up. You are still subject to the rules of the courts in which you file and to the unauthorized-practice-of-law rules in your jurisdiction. Those rules govern what you can do with the output, not what we can build. By using the Services, you agree that you, and not ClearPrecedent, are the author of record for anything you file or send to anyone else.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By creating an account you confirm that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

You do not need to be a licensed attorney to use the Services. Attorneys, paralegals, law students, pro se litigants, researchers, and other interested individuals are all welcome to create accounts, subject to these Terms.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you confirm that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" in these Terms refers to both you personally and that entity.

3. The Services

The Services currently include:

• Case Search. A search interface over our corpus of public court opinions, drawn primarily from CourtListener. Results may include relevance scoring, citation context, and links to underlying opinions.
• Motion Builder. A workflow that takes facts, documents, and prompts you supply, runs them through one or more AI models, and returns a draft document. Citations in Motion Builder output are checked against our corpus before they appear in the draft.
• Judge Intelligence. Aggregated public information about judges, their published opinions, and patterns in those opinions.
• Oral Arguments. A searchable interface over public oral-argument recordings and transcripts.
• Statutes browser and Procedural Rules browser. Searchable views of public statutes and court rules we have ingested.
• Library. A space for you to save, organize, and revisit content within the Services.
• Citation Explorer. A visual interface for exploring how cases cite one another.
• Insights and Glossary. Public educational articles and definitions on clearprecedent.com.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. If a change materially reduces the Services you have already paid for, we will give you a reasonable remedy, which may include a refund of unused charges.

4. Accounts and Security

You create an account using your email and a password. You must provide accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for any activity that happens under your account, whether or not you authorized it.

We offer optional multi-factor authentication. We strongly recommend you enable it.

If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, tell us right away at support@clearprecedent.com so we can help you secure it.

You may not share your account with anyone else, create an account using someone else's identity, or create multiple accounts to evade fees, refunds, or enforcement of these Terms.

5. Fees, Payment, and Pay-Per-Motion

ClearPrecedent uses a pay-per-motion pricing model. There is no monthly or annual subscription. You pay one charge each time the Motion Builder produces an output you keep. Other features, such as Case Search, Judge Intelligence, Oral Arguments, the Citation Explorer, Insights, Glossary, the Statutes browser, the Procedural Rules browser, and the Library, are available without a per-use charge in their current form, although we may change that on notice.

Payment is processed through a third-party payment processor. By paying, you authorize the processor to charge the payment method you provide for the amount shown at checkout, plus any taxes that apply. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars unless we say otherwise.

We do not auto-renew. We do not store full card numbers on our servers. The payment processor handles all card data subject to its own terms.

6. Hallucination Refund

The Motion Builder automatically checks citations against our corpus before delivering a draft, with the goal of removing unverifiable citations. We do not guarantee that every fabricated or miscited citation will be caught. If a citation slips through that is fabricated, or that materially miscites the case it claims to support, you can ask for a refund of the charge for that motion. The refund is how we stand behind the verification work, not a substitute for your own review.

For purposes of this section:

• A "fabricated" citation is one that points to a case, statute, or rule that does not exist or that we cannot match to a real authority.
• A "materially miscited" citation is one that misstates the holding, the procedural posture, the court, the year, or the parties in a way that would mislead a reader who relied on the citation to understand what the cited authority says. Cosmetic differences in citation form, such as reporter abbreviations or pinpoint pages that are off by a page or two, do not qualify.

To request a refund, email support@clearprecedent.com within 30 days of the motion's purchase. Include the motion ID, the specific citation or citations you believe are fabricated or materially miscited, and a brief explanation. We will review and respond within 10 business days. If we agree, we will refund the full purchase price of that motion to your original payment method.

This refund is your sole remedy for citation errors in Motion Builder output. It does not waive any other rights you have under applicable consumer-protection law.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services to render legal advice to any third party as if you were giving a legal opinion on behalf of ClearPrecedent.
• Represent that a Motion Builder draft was prepared, reviewed, or signed by a ClearPrecedent attorney or by any licensed attorney we employ.
• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise mass-download content from the Services, including our corpus, by means other than the interfaces we provide.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute Motion Builder outputs as a substitute legal-drafting service unless we agree in writing.
• Use automated agents, bots, or scripts to interact with the Services in a way that is not supported by our public API, where one exists.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our source code, model weights, prompts, or training data.
• Upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, malicious, or that you do not have the right to share with us.
• Use the Services to harass, threaten, or impersonate any person.
• Interfere with the security or operation of the Services or any other user's use of them.
• Use the Services to generate filings intended to harass, defraud, or mislead a court or another party.
• Use information about real people that the Services surface (including the Judge Intelligence dashboard, opinion content, oral-argument recordings or transcripts, and court records) for any purpose other than preparing or conducting a legal matter. The Services include information about judges, attorneys, parties, and witnesses drawn from public records. You will not use that information to harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or otherwise harm any person, and you will not attempt to contact a judge or court personnel about a matter outside the channels permitted by the rules of the relevant court.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section. We may also report conduct that appears to violate the law to the appropriate authorities.

8. Intellectual Property

Our content

We own or license the Services, including the software, the interface, the design, the brand, the Insights articles, the glossary, and the structure of our corpus. Our corpus draws on public records, including CourtListener, but our selection, indexing, scoring, citation graphs, and other added value are ours. You may not copy or redistribute our content except as these Terms allow.

Your inputs

You own the inputs you upload, including your facts, your supporting documents, your prompts, and your drafts. By using the Services you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, transmit, and display your inputs for the sole purpose of providing the Services to you. This license ends when you delete the inputs or close your account, except where we need to keep a copy briefly to satisfy legal obligations, complete a transaction, or maintain backups, as described in our Privacy Policy and Data Handling document.

No training on your data

We do not use your inputs, your Motion Builder drafts, or any chat-style content you submit to train any AI model, our own or any third-party provider's. Our model improvement work uses public CourtListener opinions, public statutes and rules, and our own internal evaluation corpus only. This commitment is repeated in our Data Handling document.

Your outputs

You own the Motion Builder drafts and other outputs you receive, subject to our continuing rights in the underlying software, prompts, models, and corpus. You may use the drafts in your own legal matters, including filing them with courts, sharing them with attorneys, or editing them as you see fit.

9. AI-Generated Content

The Services use commercial large language models from established providers. The specific model used for a given task is not exposed to you and may change without notice based on quality, cost, and availability.

AI models can make mistakes. They can misread your facts. They can produce reasoning that sounds confident but is wrong. They can omit important authority. They can summarize a case in a way that emphasizes the wrong holding.

You agree that:

• You will read every Motion Builder draft before you file it or share it with anyone.
• You will check the law and the facts in the draft against your own knowledge and, where appropriate, against original sources.
• You will check the cited cases yourself if the matter is important. Our citation verification is meant to catch fabrications, not to substitute for your own review of what the cited cases say.
• You will not file a draft you do not understand.

Our Responsible AI Policy explains in more detail how the AI is used and where it is limited.

10. Confidentiality

We treat the matter data you put into the Services as confidential. We do not share your inputs, drafts, or matter content with other users. We share data with our third-party service providers only as needed to provide the Services, as described in our Privacy Policy and Data Handling document.

You agree that information you receive from us that is not public, including non-public features, pricing arrangements, or technical details about the Services, is our confidential information. You will not disclose it except as needed to use the Services.

11. Warranty Disclaimer

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or that any output will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your matter. We do not warrant that any Motion Builder draft will be accepted by any court or will produce any particular legal result.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions in this section apply to the maximum extent allowed.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

These limits apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort, statute, or any other theory, and even if a limited remedy in these Terms fails of its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ClearPrecedent, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Services.
• Your inputs, drafts, filings, or other content.
• Your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
• Any claim that your use of a Motion Builder output, or your conduct in connection with the Services, constituted the unauthorized practice of law or otherwise violated the rules of any court, bar, or regulator.

We may, at our option, take over the defense of any claim subject to indemnification. You will cooperate with us in the defense and will not settle any claim that imposes obligations on us without our written consent.

14. Termination

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by emailing support@clearprecedent.com. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue a feature you were using.

When your account ends, the rights we grant you in these Terms end. The sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections on intellectual property, confidentiality, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

15. Dispute Resolution: Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It changes how legal disputes between you and ClearPrecedent are resolved. Among other things, it requires most disputes to be resolved through individual arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to participate in a class action. You have a thirty-day right to opt out of this section, described below.

Informal resolution first

Before either of us starts a formal proceeding, the party with the dispute must send the other a written notice of dispute. Your notice goes to support@clearprecedent.com. Ours will go to the email address on file for your account. The notice must describe the nature of the dispute, the facts behind it, and the relief sought. For sixty days after the notice is sent, both sides will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. Neither side may start an arbitration or court proceeding during that period.

Agreement to arbitrate

If the informal-resolution period ends without a resolution, you and we agree that any remaining dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

The arbitrator, not any court, will decide all issues of arbitrability, including whether a particular claim is subject to arbitration, except that a court may decide whether the class-action waiver in this section is enforceable.

Class-action and class-arbitration waiver

You and we each agree to bring claims only in our individual capacities, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any class, collective, or representative proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must be severed from arbitration and brought in court; the remaining claims in arbitration will proceed individually.

30-day right to opt out

You can opt out of this Section 15 within thirty days after you first accept these Terms by sending a written notice to support@clearprecedent.com that includes your name, the email on your account, the date you created your account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of the arbitration agreement in Section 15. If you opt out within that thirty-day window, neither the arbitration agreement nor the class-action waiver in this section applies to you. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. Opting out after the thirty-day window is not effective.

What is not arbitrated

Either of us may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction if the claim qualifies for and remains in that court. Either of us may also seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property, security, or confidential information. Filing a small-claims action or seeking emergency injunctive relief does not waive the right to arbitrate other disputes.

Arbitration procedures

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Hearings will be held by videoconference unless you and we agree otherwise, or unless the arbitrator decides an in-person hearing is required, in which case the hearing will be held in or near the county where you live. We will pay the AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees to the extent they exceed what you would have paid to file the same claim in state court in the county where you live. Each side pays its own attorneys' fees and costs except where the arbitrator awards them under applicable law. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court could award, and only relief to the individual party bringing the claim. The arbitrator's award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Court of last resort

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration (for example, because a court declines to enforce this section, or because the claim qualifies for a carve-out above), the claim will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Wyoming, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Severability and survival

If any part of this Section 15 is found unenforceable, the rest of this Section 15 will remain in effect, except that if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will be severed and brought in court as described above. This Section 15 survives termination of your account and of these Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will give you reasonable notice, for example by email or by an in-app notice, before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after a change becomes effective means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Services and, if you wish, close your account.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Data Handling document, and the Responsible AI Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services. They supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

If a court finds any part of these Terms unenforceable, the rest will remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and us.
