Terms of Service

The service

exhibit.law provides case-scoped evidence storage, automated transcription/OCR and related enrichment, a review workflow, timeline/calendar/search, and optional export. It is a software tool for organizing and reviewing evidence — it does not practice law, give legal advice, or form attorney-client relationships with end users.

Accounts may be created via verified Free-tier signup or by invitation. Access to each case still requires an explicit grant from a CaseAdmin (or GlobalAdmin).

Accounts and acceptable use

You must keep credentials confidential, use accurate invitation emails, and not attempt to access cases you were not granted. You may not use the service to violate law.

In addition, you must not use exhibit.law to upload, store, generate, or share:

We may remove or restrict access to content that violates this section and may suspend or terminate accounts for violations. Because case content is often sensitive by nature (criminal matters, medical information, minors), we do not proactively scan or review uploaded content except as needed to operate the service (transcription, OCR, indexing) or to respond to a report of misuse.

We may suspend access for security abuse, non-payment (when billing applies), or material breach of these terms.

• Child sexual abuse material or any content that sexually exploits minors, regardless of its evidentiary purpose in the underlying matter
• Content that promotes, threatens, or incites violence or terrorism
• Material that violates the privacy rights of a third party outside the legitimate evidentiary or case-management purpose of the platform (for example, uploading someone’s private information to harass or expose them rather than to manage a case)
• Malware, exploit code, or anything intended to compromise the service or another tenant’s data
• Content you upload for the purpose of committing or facilitating fraud, including fabricated or altered evidence represented as authentic
• Content that infringes the intellectual property rights of others (see Copyright / DMCA)

System integrity and API use

You may not access or use exhibit.law other than through our supported interfaces (the web app, and the API where your plan includes API access). Specifically, you must not:

Given the evidentiary and often privileged nature of case data stored on exhibit.law, unauthorized bulk extraction is treated as a security incident, not merely a plan-limit violation, and may result in immediate suspension pending investigation.

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract case data other than through supported export features
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service outside of a disclosed responsible-disclosure process
• Circumvent storage, transfer, transcription-minute, or seat limits associated with your plan
• Use API access (Firm/Enterprise plans) in excess of documented rate limits, or share API credentials outside your organization
• Use the service as infrastructure for a competing product

Your content and privileges

You retain ownership of content you upload. You grant us a limited license to host, process, display, and transmit that content solely to provide the service (including transcription, OCR, drafting suggestions, search indexing, and backups).

You are responsible for having the right to upload materials (including discovery, body-worn camera media, and communications) and for your organization’s confidentiality and retention obligations.

Copyright / DMCA

exhibit.law respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. If you believe content on the service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to our designated agent:

Designated DMCA Agent — exhibit.law — submit notices via the contact form at https://exhibit.law/contact (topic: legal / DMCA). DMCA Agent, exhibit.law — mailing address to be published upon designation with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Your notice must include: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material you claim is infringing and its location on the service; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Users who believe their content was removed in error may submit a counter-notice with comparable information. We will forward counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore content per DMCA procedure absent a court action.

We may terminate accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers. Safe-harbor protections depend on designation and registration of a DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office; the contact above will be updated when that registration is complete.

AI outputs and human review

Automated transcripts, speaker labels, OCR text, file-analysis notes, and draft events are assistive. They can be wrong. Draft events remain not-reviewed until a person confirms them; upload-time dates are treated as placeholders, not facts, until corrected.

You must not rely on AI output as a substitute for professional judgment or as an unreviewed statement of what evidence “says.”

Where AI processing runs (self-hosted infrastructure versus peak-demand third-party model APIs), what may leave our infrastructure, and related subprocessors are described in the AI Disclosure page. That disclosure is part of the agreement you accept at signup.

Confidentiality

We treat case content as confidential customer data and restrict access to personnel and subprocessors who need it to operate the service, under appropriate obligations. See the Privacy Policy, Security page, and AI Disclosure for processing details, including current AI routing.

Plans and availability

Published plan limits (storage, transcription minutes, seats, cases) are product terms for review and may be enforced as metering lands. Enterprise and dedicated deployments are quoted separately. The service may be unavailable during maintenance or incidents; we aim for prompt recovery but do not promise uninterrupted uptime in these terms.

Disclaimers and liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of the service is limited to the fees you paid for the service in the twelve months before the claim (or zero if you are on a free tier). We are not liable for lost profits, lost evidence value, or consequential damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless a written enterprise agreement says otherwise. Venue for disputes will be in state or federal courts located in Colorado, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
