Terms of Use

As-Is

All our Content is provided “as is.” We’re not making any promises about how good, useful, accurate, current, or error-free it is. If you make any bad decisions based on the Site or Services, that’s your problem and not ours.

All Rights Reserved

This phrase is legally obsolete, but lawyers and even normal people still like to use it. It’s just a belt-and-suspenders reminder that all our Content is protected by copyright
law. Just because it’s on the Internet that doesn’t mean you can do anything you want with it.

You can’t circumvent or disable any of the security features of the Site or Services.

“LAWGEEX,” the LAWGEEX logo, and other marks belong to US and our affiliates. All other trademarks, service marks, and logos used on our Site are the trademarks, service marks, or logos of their respective owners.

Survival

Any Term which imposes an obligation after termination or expiration of this agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this agreement.

Huh?

Here’s an example:

Let’s say we block your account because you keep uploading pornographic limericks instead of contracts. You might argue that you don’t have a contract with us anymore so you aren’t bound by these terms. Surprise! Even if your account is terminated,
you still can’t copy our stuff.

Your Stuff

The Tool works by analyzing contracts and other legal documents that you send us.

We also welcome any comments, questions, and suggestions you send us – though we can’t answer legal questions.

At some point we might also have forums or messaging services where users can talk about stuff and share materials. If you post anything that violates these Terms or otherwise pisses us off, we can remove it.

All of the stuff you and other users send us or other users, upload, or post (OTHER than legal documents you upload into the Tool) is called “User
Submissions.”

While we’ll try to protect the confidentiality of User Submissions that aren’t posted publicly, we can’t guarantee it.

Also, we can turn your stuff over to others if we get a court order.

Stuff you upload into the Tool is called “Legal Submissions.”

While no online company can absolutely guarantee security, we follow industry standards to protect your information. All Legal Submissions are uploaded using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with 128-bit encryption.

For additional protection, you’re welcome to strip out the party names and any sensitive terms (like home addresses and prices) before you upload a legal document for review.

Playing Nicely in Our Sandbox

If we allow you to post stuff or use the Site or Services to send messages, you agree to play nicely with us and the other users. You may not post, submit, publish, transmit, yada yada any User Submission that:

• is unfair or deceptive
• violates anyone else’s intellectual property or privacy rights
• creates a health or safety risk
• compromises national security (!!!!)
• promotes illegal drugs, violates export control laws, relates to illegal gambling or illegal drug trafficking, or encourages similar naughty behavior
• is unlawful, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, violates any law, or
  is otherwise inappropriate.

In other words, be a mensch.

BTW, other people might not play by the rules and you may be exposed to all of the above. Sorry. You’re a grownup. Deal with it. And don’t take legal advice from strangers you meet on the Internet.

Licensing Your Stuff to Us

When you send, upload, or post User Submissions, you still own your stuff but we get certain limited rights to use it. This “limited right to use” is called a “license” in lawyer-speak.

(It cuts both ways! These Terms are also OUR license for you to use OUR stuff! Cool, right?)

By sending us your User Submissions, you’re giving us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty- free, perpetual, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of display, and perform the User Submissions
in connection with the Site and our (and our successor’s) business, including without limitation for redistributing part or all of the User Submission (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels and
you hereby waive any moral rights in your User Submission, to the extent permitted by law. You also hereby grant each user of the Site or other viewer of the User Submission a non-exclusive right to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative
works of, display and perform such User Submissions.

ACK, you say. WTF does all THAT mean?

Basically, it means that we can use your stuff in pretty much any way we want. So if you don’t want us to use your stuff, don’t sent it to us.

Links

The Site may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by us. We’re not responsible for those sites and you won’t sue us for anything that happens to you because of those other sites.

(This is one of those “duh” clauses that everyone has in their terms and conditions. We’re including it just in case it turns out to be important.)

Limitation of Liability and Warranty

Brace yourself. Serious legal stuff ahead.

THE FOLLOWING SECTION REGARDING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND WARRANTY APPLIES WHETHER OR NOT THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE SITE ARE FOR PAYMENT.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND LAWGEEX, THE SITE (INCLUDING THE CONTENT AND ANY OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED THEREBY), IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND THOSE ARISING BY STATUTE OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WHILE WE MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO
ENSURE THAT THE SITE WILL FUNCTION AS CLAIMED, LAWGEEX DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE WILL BE FREE OF BUGS, SECURITY BREACHES, VIRUS ATTACKS AND THE LIKE, OR THAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. THE SITE WILL OCCASIONALLY BE UNAVAILABLE FOR
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, UPGRADING, OR OTHER REASONS. IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE THAT LAWGEEX WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES TO ITS USERS THAT MAY RESULT FROM TECHNICAL PROBLEMS OF THE INTERNET, SLOW CONNECTIONS, TRAFFIC CONGESTION
OR OVERLOAD OF OUR OR OTHER SERVERS, ETC.

YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LAWGEEX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER SUBMISSIONS OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THE FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY, LAWGEEX DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY PROVIDE OR ACTIVITIES YOU ENGAGE IN DURING THE COURSE
OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

LAWGEEX DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE OR GUARANTEE ANY CONTENT, PRODUCT, OR SERVICE THAT APPEARS IN ITS USERS’ SUBMISSION OR THAT IS FEATURED OR ADVERTISED ON THE SITE.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTION WITH OTHER LAWGEEX USERS. IF YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ANY OTHER USER OF THE SITE, YOU AGREE THAT LAWGEEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH SUCH A DISPUTE. LAWGEEX RESERVES
THE RIGHT, BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION, TO MONITOR ANY SUCH DISPUTE BETWEEN TWO OR MORE USERS, ARISING OUT OF THEIR USE OF THE SITE.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LAWGEEX, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, ASSIGNS AND AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE AND ITS SERVICES EVEN IF LAWGEEX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY EVENT AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THIS SECTION TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW YOU AGREE THAT THE LAWGEEX’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES AND LOSSES SHALL NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AGGREGATE OF THE AMOUNT (IF ANY) PAID BY YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING BRINGING
OF A CLAIM AGAINST LAWGEEX OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR (B) $100.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Phew. OK, sorry about all that.

What that all boils down to is that it’s not our fault if bad stuff happens to you because you use the Site or Service. If any bad stuff DOES happen to you (which we really hope it won’t), we’re not going to pay you more than $100.

Indemnity

More legal stuff.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless LAWGEEX, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) Your use of the Site; (ii) Your violation of these Terms; (iii) Your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, publicity or privacy right;
or (iv) any claim that one of Your User Submissions caused damage to a third party. This defense, hold harmless and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and Your use of the Site.

What that means is that if WE get sued because of something YOU did you have to pay the damages and also pay our lawyer’s bills. So don’t do anything that gets us sued.

Boilerplate

We’re almost done! This is the section at the end of the contract where we put all the stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else and that even people who read contracts don’t read. Here goes:

• We can stop offering the Site or Service, or any part of them, at any time.
• This contract is governed by the laws of the State of Israel without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. So if you want to sue us you might need to come here. But since you’re only going to get $100 at most if you win (see above)
  it’s probably not worth it, even if you get a great deal on EasyJet. So don’t sue us. But come anyway! It’s a lovely country – great beaches.
• These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole enchilada when it comes to contracts between you and us.
• These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction or notification to you.
• If a court decides that any part of these Terms are invalid, you’re still stuck with the rest of the Terms.
• No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and a party’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or
  provision.
  That means that even if we let you submit pornographic limericks these Terms ONCE that doesn’t mean we have to keep doing it.
• If you sue us, it has to be within one (1) year of whatever happened that made you want to sue us. If you dilly dally for more than one year, your cause of action is permanently barred. But please don’t sue us. Seriously – for $100? How
  is that worth it?
