Terms of Service

Effective date: April 19, 2026

Last updated: June 15, 2026

These Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy are written in plain language for clarity. They are legally binding documents. If you do not agree, please do not use LawEngine.

LawEngine is a legal research and citation-verification tool. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. LawEngine is built to help users inspect legal authority, but no research tool can guarantee complete or error-free results. You are responsible for independently reviewing anything you rely on.

1. Who We Are

LawEngine (the "Service") is operated by Law Engine Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). The Service is accessible at lawengine.ai and through related subdomains, APIs, and applications we make available from time to time.

You can reach us at support@lawengine.ai.

2. What LawEngine Does

LawEngine helps users search legal sources, inspect cited authority, verify citation and quote claims, and review legal documents with audit receipts. Some features use AI or third-party APIs for parsing, retrieval, extraction, or source-grounded drafting. LawEngine is built around authority trails and source inspection, not blind reliance on generated text.

Coverage, features, pricing, limits, and methodology may change as the Service develops.

3. Not Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship

LawEngine is a research tool. It is not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Nothing produced by the Service, including search results, verification results, match confidence signals, retrieved provisions, audit receipts, citation graphs, summaries, or commentary, is legal advice, a legal opinion, or professional counsel.

If you need legal advice for a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

4. Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for how you use LawEngine and for independently reviewing all outputs before filing, publishing, advising, or relying on them.

You are responsible for:

  • confirming that every authority you rely on is accurate, current, and relevant;
  • reading the underlying source material yourself before professional use;
  • meeting any duties of competence, confidentiality, supervision, candor, and independent judgment that apply to you;
  • deciding whether you are authorized to submit any material to LawEngine;
  • any filings, advice, communications, or decisions you make using information from the Service.

5. Coverage Is Limited and Growing

LawEngine is in active development. Our legal source coverage expands over time. A result such as "not found," "no match," or similar language means only that the Service did not locate the authority or text in the sources available to the relevant feature at that time. It is not a legal conclusion that the authority does not exist, is invalid, has been overruled, or is unsupported in law.

6. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use LawEngine. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 and, if you use the Service for a firm, employer, client, organization, or other principal, that you are authorized to do so.

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@lawengine.ai if you suspect unauthorized access.

7. Paid Plans, Trials, and Access Grants

LawEngine may offer paid plans, founding-member plans, free trials, promotional campaigns, manual access grants, invitation-only access, or enterprise arrangements. Pricing, renewal terms, payment methods, rate limits, usage limits, features, and available plans may change.

Your use of any paid feature or paid plan is governed by the pricing, checkout, subscription, cancellation, and plan terms in effect when you purchase or renew. Promotional, trial, or manually granted access may be limited, changed, or revoked separately from paid subscription access.

We may add, remove, modify, pause, or discontinue any part of the Service with or without notice.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree to use LawEngine lawfully and as intended. You will not:

  1. scrape, crawl, mirror, bulk download, or systematically extract content, corpora, citations, receipts, answers, or other outputs;
  2. abuse APIs, rate limits, checkout flows, access grants, accounts, campaigns, or usage controls;
  3. resell, sublicense, redistribute, or make LawEngine outputs available as a competing or substitute service;
  4. use the Service to harass, defame, threaten, deceive, or harm any person;
  5. present LawEngine output as legal advice, final legal work product, or a filing-ready document without independent review by you or a qualified professional where appropriate;
  6. upload or submit confidential, privileged, client-identifying, personal, health, trade secret, or other sensitive material unless you are authorized to share it with LawEngine;
  7. reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, models, ranking methods, prompts, retrieval logic, or non-public system design, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
  8. interfere with the security, integrity, or availability of the Service, including by probing, scanning, testing vulnerabilities, introducing malware, or attempting unauthorized access;
  9. use the Service or its outputs to train, fine-tune, distill, benchmark, or evaluate a machine-learning model or competing system without our express written consent;
  10. misrepresent LawEngine outputs as human-authored legal advice or conceal the role of the Service where disclosure is required.

We may investigate suspected violations and take action we consider appropriate, including suspension or termination.

9. Your Content

You retain ownership of text, queries, citations, quotations, documents, files, and other material you submit to the Service ("User Content").

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, process, store, reproduce, analyze, display, and transmit User Content as needed to provide, secure, audit, debug, support, and improve the Service, as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

User-submitted legal content is not used to train LawEngine models. We do not sell your User Content.

Do not submit User Content you are not authorized to share. If your User Content contains confidential, privileged, client-identifying, personal, health, trade secret, or other sensitive information belonging to a third party, you represent that you have the right to submit it to LawEngine for the purposes described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

10. Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including the site, interface, software, workflows, databases, structured corpora, normalization, indexing, source-linking, verification methods, evaluation methods, documentation, trademarks, and content we produce, is owned by Law Engine Inc. or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws.

Primary-source legal materials may be public domain or published by governmental sources. Our rights cover the way we collect, select, structure, normalize, index, analyze, verify, and present those materials, along with the software and systems that do so.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

11. Third-Party Services

LawEngine uses third-party providers for authentication, hosting, network and security, database and storage, payment processing, analytics, model/API or legal-domain processing, support, and business operations.

Some product features may send User Content, retrieved legal source text, outputs, or related metadata to service providers as needed to provide, secure, audit, debug, support, or improve the Service. Marketing and acquisition tools are used on public or acquisition pages and should not receive raw legal research content, uploaded files, extracted text, legal answers, citations, quote receipts, or full verification/search responses, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Your use of the Service may also be governed by the terms and privacy practices of those providers. We choose providers carefully, but we are not responsible for their independent acts or omissions except where the law says otherwise.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, and error-free operation.

Without limiting that disclaimer:

  • we do not warrant that any result is correct, complete, current, or sufficient for any legal matter;
  • we do not warrant that the Service will find every relevant authority or identify every error;
  • we do not warrant that the Service will be available at any particular time or that defects will be corrected;
  • we do not warrant that the Service's coverage is adequate for any jurisdiction, practice area, professional duty, or use case.

No oral or written information you receive from us creates a warranty we have not given in writing.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, or any other legal theory, is capped at the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100) or (b) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

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

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so this section applies only to the extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Law Engine Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to:

  • your use of the Service;
  • your reliance on any output of the Service;
  • your User Content;
  • your violation of these Terms;
  • your violation of law or third-party rights.

We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.

15. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may request account deletion by emailing support@lawengine.ai.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms, abuse, scraping, security concerns, payment failure, legal risk, or extended inactivity.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, and this section.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice by email to the address associated with your account and, where practical, through the Service itself.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to an update, stop using the Service before the effective date.

17. Governing Law, Venue, and Waivers

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Jury-trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to a jury trial in any proceeding arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms.

Class-action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action against the other. Disputes must be brought individually.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written agreement we sign with you, are the entire agreement between us on this subject and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified only to the minimum extent necessary.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a corporate transaction.

These Terms do not create rights in anyone other than you and us.

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
