Terms of Service

1. The service

EdgeLex is a legal operating system: practice management, documents, email, messaging, meetings, deadlines and billing on one record, with Lex, an AI designed into it. It is licensed to law firms and legal departments for their own practice, on a per-attorney subscription, in EdgeLex’s cloud or on infrastructure the firm controls.

2. Your account and your people

The firm is the account holder and the authority over it: it decides who has access, what each person may do, which AI models may run and on which matters. The firm is responsible for its users’ compliance with these terms and with its professional obligations. Users must be the firm’s lawyers, staff, or people the firm invites into a matter.

3. Your data stays yours

The firm owns all data it puts into EdgeLex and all work product the platform produces from it. EdgeLex takes a licence only as needed to run the service for the firm. EdgeLex never trains models on firm data. On termination the firm may export everything in standard formats for 30 days, after which EdgeLex deletes it from its systems, except where a legal hold applies.

4. AI, and what it is not

Lex answers from the firm’s record and cited law, or says it cannot answer. It proposes; a person approves. AI output is a draft for a lawyer’s judgment, not legal advice from EdgeLex, and the firm remains responsible for the work it signs. EdgeLex shows the source for every answer so that judgment can be exercised.

5. Included AI usage and fair use

Frontier AI models are included in every EdgeLex plan with no usage caps for ordinary practice work: drafting, review, research, email, deadlines and the assistant. Fair use means that allowance is for the human work of the subscribing firm; automated bulk processing, resale of AI output, or use by people who are not the firm’s users is outside it, and EdgeLex may ask such use to move to the firm’s own model keys. Usage on keys a firm adds through Auto Routing is billed by that provider to the firm.

6. Fees

$89 per attorney per month or $979 per attorney per year, billed by Stripe, with a 30-day free trial that needs no card. Prices change only with 60 days’ notice and never mid-term. Private Edition and self-hosted deployments are quoted separately.

7. Acceptable use

• Only lawful use in the practice of law and the running of a firm.
• No attempts to defeat the AI policy, the audit trail or another firm’s isolation.
• No scraping, resale or benchmarking of the service without written consent.

8. Availability, support and changes

EdgeLex targets 99.9% monthly availability for its cloud edition. Self-hosted availability is the firm’s. Support is by email and in-product chat on business days. Features may be added or changed; a feature a firm relies on is not removed without 90 days’ notice and an export path.

9. Confidentiality and privilege

EdgeLex treats all firm data as confidential and takes no position on privilege that could waive it. Access by EdgeLex staff is limited, logged and disclosed. EdgeLex will notify the firm of any legal process seeking its data unless prohibited by law, and will not disclose without the firm’s involvement.

10. Warranties, liability and indemnity

EdgeLex warrants the service will perform materially as documented. Otherwise the service is provided as is. Neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss. EdgeLex’s total liability is capped at the fees the firm paid in the prior 12 months, except for breach of confidentiality, data protection or indemnity, which are capped at three times that amount. EdgeLex indemnifies the firm against third-party claims that the service infringes intellectual property; the firm indemnifies EdgeLex against claims arising from the firm’s data or use.

11. Term, suspension and termination

Monthly or annual term, renewing until cancelled. Either side may terminate for uncured material breach on 30 days’ notice. EdgeLex may suspend an account for non-payment or a security risk, with notice where possible.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the state named on the firm’s order form or invoice, and disputes are heard in the courts of that state. Both sides will try to resolve a dispute by direct discussion for 30 days first.
