Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ClearCounsel at clearcounsel.app or tool.clearcounsel.app, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use ClearCounsel.

2. Description of Service

ClearCounsel provides two tools for legal professionals: (a) a PII redaction tool that detects and removes sensitive information from documents before use with AI tools, and (b) an AI disclosure statement generator that produces court-appropriate disclosure language for legal filings.

3. Not Legal Advice

ClearCounsel is a productivity and compliance aid. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE. Nothing in ClearCounsel or generated by ClearCounsel creates an attorney-client relationship. The generated disclosure language is a starting point and must be reviewed by a supervising attorney before inclusion in any court filing. Requirements vary by court, judge, and jurisdiction.

4. No Warranty on PII Detection

The PII redaction tool uses pattern-matching heuristics to detect common categories of sensitive information. It may not detect every instance of sensitive, privileged, or confidential information — particularly names, proprietary terms, context-specific identifiers, or information that does not match common patterns. You are solely responsible for reviewing the output before sharing with any third-party AI system. ClearCounsel makes no warranty that the redaction tool will detect all sensitive information.

5. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Use ClearCounsel only for lawful purposes
• Review all tool outputs before use in professional or legal contexts
• Have all AI-generated disclosure language reviewed by the supervising attorney before filing
• Not rely on ClearCounsel as a substitute for professional legal judgment
• Not attempt to reverse engineer, copy, or commercialize ClearCounsel without written permission

6. Intellectual Property

ClearCounsel and all associated content, code, design, and materials are the property of Crystal Grossley / ClearCounsel. All rights reserved. No license to use, copy, modify, or distribute ClearCounsel or its components is granted except as explicitly stated herein.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

CLEARCOUNSEL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT CLEARCOUNSEL WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLEARCOUNSEL AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, OR PROFESSIONAL SANCTIONS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE CLEARCOUNSEL.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ClearCounsel and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of ClearCounsel, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

10. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of ClearCounsel after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The current Terms are always available at clearcounsel.app/terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law principles.
