Terms of Service for CrimLawDocs

This is an agreement between CrimLawTech, LLC ("Service Provider") and "the User" ("User"). By using this service ("Service"), the Client agrees to these terms.

1. Effective Date

This agreement starts when the Client accepts it or first uses the Service.

2. Service Description

The Service Provider provides a web-based document automation tool and organizational framework.

Framework Only: This Service provides only the technological framework and organizational tools. The Service itself is the web application, user interface, and document generation system - not the legal content, arguments, or language that may be included as examples.

No Legal Advice: The Service does not provide legal advice. The tool is intended to be used as a blank framework with user-supplied content. Any language, arguments, or legal content included by default is for example and demonstration purposes only and should not be relied upon for actual legal proceedings.

Sample Content Disclaimer: Any pre-populated legal arguments, language, or content included in the system are provided solely as examples to demonstrate the framework's capabilities. Users must not rely on sample content and are responsible for replacing all example content with their own legal research and arguments.

Client Responsibility: The Client is responsible for verifying the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of all documents they create. The system generates organizational templates, not finalized legal documents. The Client must provide their own legal content, edit, review, and finalize all generated documents before use.

3. Fees

Information about fees is provided separately. Any setup or customization fees will be disclosed upfront and agreed upon separately. The Client will be notified at least 30 days before any fee changes take effect.

4. Payments

Billing: Billing occurs monthly, semi-annually (every 6 months), or annually via automatic subscription, at the client's choice. The pricing remains the same regardless of billing frequency. Invoices can be provided upon request. Payments are due within 30 days of the end of each billing cycle.

Renewals: Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled.

Late Payments: The Service Provider may suspend the Client's account if payment is late.

5. Ending the Agreement

Subscription Cancellation: The Client or the Service Provider can cancel anytime. When you cancel your subscription, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. After expiration, your account becomes inactive for 30 days to allow reactivation.

Immediate Cancellation: If you want immediate cancellation or data deletion, contact support at support@crimlawtech.com.

Data Management: The Client is responsible for exporting any data before cancellation and can manually delete content using the office settings page if desired.

No Refunds: The Service Provider does not issue refunds or partial refunds for monthly subscription fees, setup fees, customization fees, or support fees under any circumstances.

6. Data Use

No Confidential Data: The system is not designed for attorney-client privileged or highly confidential information. The Client should not upload confidential or privileged information.

Client's Risk: The Client is responsible for any data they upload.

No Retention: The Service Provider does not guarantee data storage or backups after cancellation. The Client is strongly encouraged to maintain independent backups of their data at all times.

7. Acceptable Use

The Client agrees to:

  • Use the Service lawfully.
  • Not disrupt, disable, or interfere with the operation of the Service, including attempts to hack, spam, or launch denial-of-service attacks.
  • Not circumvent security features or access systems without authorization.
  • Not upload harmful or unauthorized content.
  • Not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the source code or underlying algorithms of the Service.
  • Keep their account credentials secure.

The Service Provider may suspend or terminate the Client's account if they violate this policy.

8. Security

The Service Provider takes steps to protect the Service but cannot guarantee it is completely secure. The Client is responsible for safeguarding their passwords and account access. The Service Provider is not liable for unauthorized access or misuse of the system.

9. Support & Customization

Customization and extra support may be available for an additional cost. Suggestions for improvements don't give the User ownership of the software or any rights to the underlying code, intellectual property, or future developments. These suggestions may be implemented at the sole discretion of the Service Provider without compensation or acknowledgment.

10. No Guarantee of Future Service

The Service Provider may change, discontinue, or stop updating the Service at any time without notice.
