Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the LegalsOne hosted platform, client portals, applications, support services, and related services described in an order form, statement of work, or similar ordering document (collectively, the "Services"). These Terms form part of the agreement between the customer identified in the applicable Order Form ("Customer") and the LegalsOne contracting entity identified in that Order Form ("LegalsOne").
By signing an Order Form, creating an administrative account, or using the Services, Customer agrees to these Terms. If an individual accepts these Terms on behalf of an organization, that individual represents that they have authority to bind the organization.
1. Agreement Structure
The agreement consists of:
- the applicable Order Form;
- these Terms;
- the LegalsOne Data Processing Agreement, when LegalsOne processes personal data for Customer;
- the Acceptable Use Policy;
- any statement of work or service-specific schedule; and
- any other document expressly incorporated by reference.
If documents conflict, the following order controls unless an Order Form expressly states otherwise: the Order Form, a signed statement of work or service-specific schedule, the Data Processing Agreement for data-protection matters, these Terms, and the Acceptable Use Policy.
2. The Services
2.1 Right to Use
Subject to the Agreement and payment of applicable fees, LegalsOne grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right during the subscription term to permit its authorized personnel to access and use the Services for Customer's internal business and legal-operations purposes.
2.2 Authorized Users
Customer may authorize employees, contractors, and other personnel under Customer's direction to use the Services ("Authorized Users"). Customer is responsible for:
- ensuring that Authorized Users comply with the Agreement;
- assigning access appropriate to each user's role;
- maintaining accurate account and contact information;
- promptly disabling accounts that no longer require access; and
- all activity conducted through Customer accounts, except to the extent caused by LegalsOne's breach of the Agreement.
Accounts are individual and may not be shared. Customer must promptly notify LegalsOne of suspected unauthorized access or credential compromise.
2.3 Administration and Configuration
Customer controls its users, permissions, workflows, matter access, integrations, templates, retention choices made available in the Services, and other administrative settings. Customer is responsible for configuring those settings in a manner appropriate for its professional, ethical, contractual, and legal obligations.
2.4 Changes to the Services
LegalsOne may improve or modify the Services during the subscription term. LegalsOne will not materially reduce the core functionality purchased by Customer during the then-current term without providing reasonable notice, except where a change is required to address security, legal, regulatory, or third-party dependency concerns.
2.5 Beta and Preview Features
LegalsOne may offer preview, pilot, or beta features. Such features are optional, may be changed or discontinued, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless an Order Form states otherwise, beta features are provided without a service-level commitment and should not be used as the sole basis for a filing deadline, trust-accounting decision, legal conclusion, or other critical decision.
3. Customer Data
3.1 Ownership
As between the parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in data, documents, communications, recordings, transcripts, files, instructions, configurations, and other content submitted to or processed through the Services by or for Customer ("Customer Data"). LegalsOne retains all right, title, and interest in the Services, documentation, methods, software, designs, and related intellectual property.
3.2 Limited License
Customer grants LegalsOne a limited right to host, copy, transmit, display, modify, and otherwise process Customer Data only as necessary to:
- provide, secure, maintain, and support the Services;
- follow Customer's documented instructions;
- prevent or address fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
- comply with law; and
- exercise rights expressly granted by the Agreement.
LegalsOne does not acquire ownership of Customer Data.
3.3 Customer Responsibilities
Customer represents and warrants that:
- it has all rights, permissions, notices, and lawful bases needed to submit and process Customer Data;
- its instructions to LegalsOne comply with applicable law and professional obligations;
- it will not direct LegalsOne to process data in a manner that violates the rights of another person;
- it will obtain any required consent for recordings, monitoring, communications, electronic signatures, automated messages, or use of artificial intelligence; and
- it will use appropriate judgment before placing particularly sensitive or regulated information in optional features.
3.4 No Sale of Customer Data
LegalsOne will not sell Customer Data, use Customer Data for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use Customer Data to build advertising profiles.
3.5 Aggregated Information
LegalsOne may generate statistical or aggregated information about operation and use of the Services only if that information does not identify Customer, an Authorized User, a client, or another individual. LegalsOne may use such information to operate, secure, support, and improve the Services.
4. Confidentiality
4.1 Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is marked confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Customer Data is Customer's Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate:
- is or becomes public without breach of the Agreement;
- was lawfully known without confidentiality restriction before disclosure;
- is received lawfully from another source without confidentiality restriction; or
- is independently developed without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information.
4.2 Protection and Use
The receiving party will:
- use Confidential Information only to perform or exercise rights under the Agreement;
- protect it using at least reasonable care;
- disclose it only to personnel and service providers who need access and are bound by confidentiality obligations; and
- remain responsible for its handling as required by the Agreement.
4.3 Required Disclosure
If legally required to disclose Confidential Information, the receiving party may do so after giving reasonable advance notice when legally permitted and reasonably assisting the disclosing party in seeking protective treatment.
5. Legal and Professional Responsibility
5.1 Customer Remains Responsible
The Services support legal operations but do not replace professional judgment. Customer remains solely responsible for:
- legal advice and representation;
- court, agency, contractual, and limitation deadlines;
- conflicts analysis and clearance;
- billing, trust, tax, and accounting decisions;
- client communications and disclosures;
- review and approval of documents, calculations, summaries, and filings; and
- compliance with professional-conduct rules and applicable law.
5.2 Artificial Intelligence and Automation
Automated and artificial-intelligence-assisted outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for a particular matter. Customer must ensure meaningful human review before relying on or communicating such outputs. Customer may not use the Services to make a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects about an individual without appropriate review, authority, notice, and safeguards.
5.3 Communications and Recordings
Customer is responsible for determining when consent, notice, opt-out rights, or other requirements apply to email, text messages, telephone calls, recordings, transcripts, marketing communications, and automated outreach.
6. Security and Shared Responsibility
LegalsOne maintains reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data. No service can guarantee absolute security.
Customer is responsible for:
- using strong authentication and available account-security features;
- applying least-privilege access;
- protecting credentials and user devices;
- reviewing access and activity;
- securely configuring Customer-controlled integrations;
- maintaining appropriate endpoint, network, and personnel controls; and
- promptly reporting suspected security events.
Additional processing and security commitments are described in the Data Processing Agreement and client-facing Trust and Security Center materials.
7. Support, Availability, and Maintenance
LegalsOne will provide the support stated in the Order Form. Unless a separate service-level agreement applies, LegalsOne does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
LegalsOne may perform maintenance and may suspend affected portions of the Services when reasonably necessary to protect security, prevent harm, comply with law, or maintain the Services. When practicable, LegalsOne will provide advance notice of planned maintenance that is expected to cause material disruption.
8. Fees and Payment
8.1 Fees
Customer will pay the fees and applicable taxes stated in the Order Form. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable.
8.2 Invoicing
Invoices are due within the period stated in the Order Form. Undisputed overdue amounts may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law.
8.3 Disputes
Customer must notify LegalsOne of a good-faith invoice dispute before the applicable due date and provide reasonable detail. The parties will work in good faith to resolve the dispute. Customer must timely pay all undisputed amounts.
8.4 Taxes
Fees exclude taxes, duties, and governmental assessments. Customer is responsible for applicable taxes other than taxes based on LegalsOne's net income.
9. Term and Termination
9.1 Subscription Term
The subscription begins and renews as stated in the Order Form. If the Order Form does not specify renewal terms, the subscription does not automatically renew.
9.2 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate the Agreement if the other party materially breaches it and fails to cure the breach within 30 days after written notice. A party may terminate immediately if the breach is not capable of cure, involves unlawful use, or creates a material security risk.
9.3 Suspension
LegalsOne may suspend access to the affected Services if:
- Customer's use presents an imminent security or legal risk;
- Customer materially violates the Acceptable Use Policy;
- continued use could harm the Services or another person; or
- undisputed fees remain overdue after reasonable notice.
LegalsOne will limit a suspension to the extent reasonably practicable and restore access after the issue is resolved.
9.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination:
- Customer's right to use the Services ends;
- accrued payment obligations remain due;
- each party will return or protect Confidential Information as required by the Agreement; and
- Customer may request export or return of Customer Data during the post-termination period stated in the Order Form or Data Processing Agreement.
LegalsOne may delete Customer Data after the applicable return period, subject to legal obligations and routine backup lifecycles.
10. Intellectual Property
10.1 LegalsOne Materials
LegalsOne and its licensors own the Services and related intellectual property. No rights are granted except those expressly stated in the Agreement.
10.2 Restrictions
Customer may not:
- copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services except as expressly permitted;
- reverse engineer or attempt to discover source code except where law prohibits this restriction;

10.3 Feedback
Customer may provide suggestions or feedback. LegalsOne may use feedback without restriction or obligation, provided it does not disclose Customer Confidential Information.
11. Warranties
LegalsOne warrants that during the subscription term:
- the Services will materially conform to applicable documentation;
- LegalsOne will provide the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner; and
- LegalsOne will not knowingly introduce malicious code into the Services.
Customer's exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is re-performance or correction. If LegalsOne cannot materially correct the breach within a reasonable period, Customer may terminate the affected Services and receive a prorated refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the terminated term.
Except for the express warranties in the Agreement, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent permitted by law, each party disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
12. Indemnification
12.1 LegalsOne Indemnity
LegalsOne will defend Customer against a third-party claim that Customer's authorized use of the Services infringes a patent, copyright, or trademark, and will pay damages and costs finally awarded or agreed in settlement. LegalsOne may modify or replace the affected Services or terminate them and refund prepaid fees for the unused portion of the term.
This obligation does not apply to claims arising from Customer Data, Customer instructions, unauthorized use, modification not made by LegalsOne, or combination with items not supplied or approved by LegalsOne.
12.2 Customer Indemnity
Customer will defend LegalsOne against a third-party claim arising from Customer Data, Customer's unlawful use of the Services, or Customer's material violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, and will pay damages and costs finally awarded or agreed in settlement.
12.3 Procedure
The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party, provide reasonable cooperation, and allow the indemnifying party to control the defense and settlement. A settlement may not admit fault by or impose non-monetary obligations on the indemnified party without written consent.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, revenues, goodwill, or data, even if advised of the possibility; and
- each party's aggregate liability arising from the Agreement will not exceed the fees paid or payable for the affected Services during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
The limitations above do not apply to:
- payment obligations;
- fraud or willful misconduct;
- infringement or misappropriation of the other party's intellectual property;
- a party's indemnification obligations;
- Customer's violation of the use restrictions; or
- liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
If applicable law does not permit a limitation stated above, the limitation applies to the maximum extent permitted.
14. Compliance with Law
Each party will comply with laws applicable to its performance under the Agreement. Customer will not use the Services in violation of export-control, sanctions, anti-corruption, communications, privacy, employment, or professional-responsibility laws.
The Services are not directed to children and may not be used to create accounts for children unless Customer has a lawful professional reason, appropriate authority, and necessary safeguards.

The Agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights except as expressly required by applicable data-protection law.
15.7 Severability and Waiver
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
