Anitarian Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Anitarian legal matter intelligence platform ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, such as a law firm, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.

2. The Service

Anitarian provides a legal matter intelligence platform that helps legal professionals manage matters, retrieve and analyze legal information, and work with documents. The Service includes features such as matter management, document ingestion and retrieval, research, drafting assistance, and matter brief generation.

The Service is not a substitute for professional legal advice, professional judgment, or human review. You remain responsible for your legal work product.

3. Accounts and Access

• You must provide accurate account information and keep it current.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
• We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms, applicable law, security requirements, or customer workspace rules.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable law.
• Upload or process content that infringes the rights of others or is unlawful.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our systems.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service except where law prohibits this restriction.
• Use the Service to develop a competing product.
• Misuse the Service in a way that could harm Anitarian, other users, clients, or the public.
• Send data to connected third-party services without proper authority or consent.

5. Your Content

• You retain all rights to the content you upload, create, or process through the Service ("Your Content").
• You grant us a limited license to host, store, process, and use Your Content solely to provide, secure, support, and improve the Service.
• You represent that you have the right to provide Your Content and that it does not violate these Terms or applicable law.
• Legal professional privilege: You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is consistent with your professional and ethical obligations, including obligations relating to client confidentiality and legal professional privilege.

6. Connected Productivity Services

The Service may integrate with third-party productivity services, including Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, to create, link, and work with documents.

• Your responsibility: You are responsible for configuring and managing your connections to third-party services, and for ensuring you have the authority to access the documents you connect.
• Third-party terms: Your use of a connected third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy, not these Terms.
• No warranty for third-party services: We are not responsible for the availability, security, or performance of third-party services, or for any loss arising from your use of them.
• Live vs. snapshot: The live, editable copy of a connected document is hosted by the third-party provider. We keep a read-only snapshot, selected content, export, metadata, or audit record on Canadian-controlled infrastructure for matter-gating, audit, review, and data-sovereignty purposes.

7. Data Sovereignty

Anitarian is built on a data-sovereignty-first principle. In Anitarian-hosted deployments, primary Service data is stored and processed on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

Where you connect a third-party productivity service, the live document is hosted by that provider, and we keep a read-only snapshot or record on Canadian-controlled infrastructure. You acknowledge this trade-off when using connected productivity services.

This commitment does not mean every connected service is physically located in Canada. Google OAuth, live Google Docs, customer-authorized integrations, email delivery, DNS, monitoring, and other external dependencies may process limited data as required to provide their services.

8. Fees and Payment

• Fees for the Service, if any, are set out in your agreement or order with Anitarian.
• Unless otherwise agreed, fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable except as required by law.
• We may change fees with reasonable notice.

9. Intellectual Property

• The Service, including its software, design, and content other than Your Content, is owned by Anitarian and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.
• You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service except as expressly permitted.

10. Confidentiality

• Each party will protect the other's confidential information and use it only to perform under these Terms.
• Your Content and matter data are treated as confidential.
• This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. THE SERVICE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL LEGAL ADVICE, AND YOU REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LEGAL WORK PRODUCT.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANITARIAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Anitarian and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

14. Termination

• You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account and data.
• We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms or applicable law.
• Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15, will survive.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the courts of British Columbia, Canada.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms and updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
