LegalJev
Experimental beta

EXPERIMENTAL BETA · EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 19, 2026 · VERSION 2026-09-19.2

Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and the operator of LegalJev (“LegalJev,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to this experimental service (the “Service”). Read them before running an analysis.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

By checking the Terms box and submitting a research run, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 and legally capable of entering this agreement. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you may bind that organization, and “you” includes it.

2. Research assistance only

The Service is an experimental information-retrieval and source-comparison tool. LegalJev is not a law firm, lawyer, licensed legal-services provider, expert witness, or professional citator. The Service does not provide legal advice, representation, legal opinions, litigation strategy, or a prediction of any outcome. Using it does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, confidential, advisory, or other professional relationship, and we do not undertake any duty owed by your lawyer.

Scores, labels, excerpts, rankings, “audits,” and motion-support packets are screening signals—not certifications. An “automatic source audit” only classifies how supplied opinion evidence appears to relate to a research issue. It does not establish that a proposition is legally correct, that quoted text is a holding, that attribution is conclusive, or that the case is current, binding, citable, or good law.

3. Your required independent review

You retain sole responsibility for your research, judgment, work product, and use of any output. Before use, you must independently verify, at minimum:

  • the case’s existence, identity, reporter and neutral citations, quotations, pincites, and source text;
  • the court, jurisdiction, date, posture, disposition, opinion author, opinion type, publication and precedential status;
  • whether language is a holding, dicta, a party argument, a quotation of another case, a syllabus or headnote, concurrence, dissent, plurality, or superseded text;
  • amendments, rehearing, appeal, vacatur, abrogation, overruling, criticism, distinguishing treatment, and all other subsequent history;
  • controlling and adverse authority, statutes, regulations, court rules, standing orders, filing requirements, and deadlines; and
  • the accuracy and propriety of every representation made to a client, court, agency, opposing party, or other person.

Use official sources and, when appropriate, a currently licensed editorial citator and a qualified lawyer. You must not describe an output as “Shepardized,” “KeyCited,” “certified,” “verified good law,” or equivalent. The Service does not monitor deadlines or update past output when the law changes.

By using the Service, you acknowledge its experimental nature and, to the extent permitted by law, assume the risks of using or relying on its outputs, including incorrect research, missed authorities, disclosure of submitted information, and consequences of filings or other decisions. This acknowledgment does not remove any duty or liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

4. AI, search, and source limitations

The Service uses automated models and third-party legal-data sources. Models can be wrong even at high confidence. A confidence or relevance percentage is a model signal, not the probability that a statement is legally correct, a case controls, or a court will agree. Search results are not exhaustive. Sources may be missing, delayed, duplicated, malformed, OCR-corrupted, summarized, highlighted, or incorrectly tagged. Excerpts may omit context. Jurisdiction filters and citation parsing can fail. File extraction can omit or reorder text, footnotes, tables, headers, columns, symbols, or page boundaries. Image-only pages and pages whose text layer appears suspicious may be rendered and OCR-processed locally in your browser. OCR is probabilistic and may invent, omit, join, split, or substitute characters, names, quotations, citations, reporter abbreviations, and pinpoint pages. The OCR quality detector can also miss a corrupted page or process a readable page unnecessarily. Password-protected, encrypted, damaged, unusually encoded, or resource-intensive PDFs may remain unsupported.

Current providers may include TypeSafe’s Jev, CourtListener/Free Law Project, the Caselaw Access Project, TinyFish, Vercel, and linked official or third-party sources. Provider availability, coverage, terms, and data may change without notice. Third-party links and content are not controlled or endorsed by us.

A “potentially fabricated citation” or identity warning is a research flag, not a finding that a case never existed or that its author intentionally misled anyone. Missing sources alone do not prove fabrication. A “supported” label does not establish that a claim is correct in your circumstances or that subsequent courts have accepted it.

5. Confidentiality and submitted content

Do not submit privileged, confidential, sealed, classified, trade-secret, regulated, health, financial-account, highly sensitive personal, or unlawfully obtained material. Supported selected files are read locally in your browser, but their extracted text, opaque document identifiers, file type and size, and location ranges are transmitted to us and third parties as described in the Privacy Notice. Filenames remain browser-local in the ordinary workflow. Local file extraction is not a promise of confidentiality. We do not agree to receive material in confidence, preserve privilege, act as a lawyer or business associate, or assume professional secrecy duties. A warning, removal, cancellation, or deletion after submission may not prevent disclosure or privilege consequences.

You retain your rights in content you submit. You grant us and our service providers a limited, worldwide, nonexclusive license to host, copy, transmit, analyze, format, and return that content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and comply with law for the Service. You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to submit it.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

  • violate law, court orders, professional rules, third-party rights, or provider terms;
  • mislead anyone about a citation, source, output, model confidence, or degree of human review;
  • engage in unauthorized practice of law, impersonate a lawyer, or substitute the Service for legally required professional judgment;
  • submit content you are not authorized to disclose or attempt to identify, exploit, harm, discriminate against, or defraud a person;
  • bypass limits, probe security, introduce malicious code, overload providers, scrape contrary to applicable terms, or interfere with the Service; or
  • reverse engineer or misuse the Service except to the extent a restriction is prohibited by law.

7. Beta service; changes and suspension

The Service is a public beta. Features may change, fail, produce different results, or be suspended or discontinued at any time. We promise no service level, response time, preservation, backup, compatibility, support, or continued access. We may limit or end access to protect users, providers, the Service, or legal compliance. You should keep your own copies of any material you need.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS, SOURCES, LINKS, SCORES, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OUTPUT IS CORRECT, COMPREHENSIVE, ACCEPTABLE TO A COURT, SUITABLE FOR FILING, OR FREE OF ERROR, OMISSION, BIAS, OR HARMFUL CONTENT.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEGALJEV AND ITS OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, PERSONNEL, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CLIENTS, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES; LEGAL FEES, SANCTIONS, ADVERSE RULINGS, MISSED DEADLINES, DISCLOSURE OR LOSS OF PRIVILEGE; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE RESEARCH, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF US$100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THESE LIMITS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THEORY. THEY DO NOT EXCLUDE LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED, AND YOUR JURISDICTION MAY GIVE YOU NONWAIVABLE RIGHTS.

10. Professional and organizational indemnity

If you use the Service in a professional, commercial, or organizational capacity, then, to the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LegalJev and its operators, personnel, affiliates, licensors, and providers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your unlawful or misleading use, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights. This does not require indemnification for our own conduct where applicable law prohibits it.

11. Ownership and feedback

The Service’s software, interface, branding, and compilation are owned by us or our licensors. Judicial opinions and third-party data remain subject to their applicable legal status, licenses, and provider terms. If you provide feedback, you permit us to use it without restriction or compensation, without identifying confidential content.

12. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Notice are the entire agreement about the Service and supersede prior statements about it. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with operating or transferring the Service. Headings are for convenience only.

We may revise these Terms. A material revision will use a new version and require fresh assent before another analysis. Questions or legal notices should be sent through the service-administration channel by which you received access. Entity-specific notice, governing-law, venue, and any dispute-resolution provisions may be supplied in an order form or separate written agreement for an organization.
