Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Java Books, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of Legal Red Flag Alerts, including the website, application, generated review memos, exports and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

By checking the consent box presented when you first access the Service, by creating an account, or by otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

2. Description of Service

Legal Red Flag Alerts accepts documents you upload (such as contracts, NDAs, term sheets and service agreements), extracts their text, and uses automated systems, including third-party large language models, to produce automated, informational reviews of legal documents — plain-language summaries, risk ratings, missing-clause observations and red-flag notes. Output is generated by software, not by a lawyer, and is delivered on screen and as a downloadable memo.

The Service does not: review your document for legal sufficiency under any specific jurisdiction; apply the facts of your particular matter or negotiation; guarantee that it has identified every risk, obligation, omission or unfavorable term in a document; represent you in any transaction or dispute; or file, execute, negotiate or deliver anything on your behalf.

We may change, suspend, add to or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including analysis models, output structure and feature availability, without liability to you.

3. No Professional Advice

All output of the Service is informational and educational only. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who is familiar with your specific circumstances.

No attorney–client relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other professional relationship is created between you and Java Books, LLC by your use of the Service, by your submission of a document, or by any communication with us about the Service. Information you submit is not protected by the attorney–client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine.

Java Books, LLC does not practice law and does not hold itself out as a law firm or a provider of legal services. Where the Service uses words such as "risk," "red flag," "recommendation," "obligation," or "should," those words describe general, automated observations about document language, not a legal opinion about your situation.

4. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for every decision you make and every action you take or refrain from taking based on the Service, including whether to sign, negotiate, amend, terminate or rely on any document.

You should independently verify any output before relying on it for a significant decision, and you should consult a qualified attorney before entering into, altering or enforcing any legally binding agreement. Automated analysis can miss material terms, misread defined terms and cross-references, and misjudge how a clause operates in context.

You are responsible for the documents you submit: you represent that you have the right to upload them, that doing so does not violate a confidentiality obligation, court order, or applicable law, and that you have removed or accepted the risk of submitting sensitive personal information. You must not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, scrape or overload it.

5. No Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Java Books, LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely or error-free, that output will be accurate, complete, current or suitable for any purpose, or that defects will be corrected. Automated document analysis is probabilistic and may produce output that is incomplete, outdated or simply wrong.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. In that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by applicable law.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Java Books, LLC, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, Java Books, LLC IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FINANCIAL LOSS, CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY, LOST CLAIM OR DEFENSE, MISSED DEADLINE, REGULATORY PENALTY, BUSINESS OR HEALTH OUTCOME, OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE OF ANY DECISION MADE OR NOT MADE USING THE SERVICE OR ITS OUTPUT.

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF Java Books, LLC TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE. THIS CAP APPLIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY CALIFORNIA LAW, APPLIES IN THE AGGREGATE AND NOT PER CLAIM, AND IS AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Java Books, LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service or its output; (b) any document or other content you submit; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right, including confidentiality, privacy and intellectual property rights; and (d) any decision, agreement or dispute involving you and a third party in which the Service was used.

We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with that defense. You will not settle any matter that imposes obligations on Java Books, LLC without our prior written consent.

8. Intellectual Property

Java Books, LLC owns, and retains all right, title and interest in, the Service and everything that makes it work: the application, source code, design, user interface, brand names and logos, prompts, review taxonomies, scoring and risk-tiering methodology, memo templates, documentation, and all other content we provide, together with all associated intellectual property rights.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service and to use the review memos it generates for your own internal or personal purposes. Nothing in these Terms transfers to you any ownership of, or right in, the Service, our methodology, or our intellectual property, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You retain ownership of the documents you upload. You grant us a limited license to process, store and transmit those documents solely to operate and support the Service as described in the Privacy Policy. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, or create derivative products from the Service or its methodology, or use its output to build or train a competing product.

The text, headings, marketing copy, illustrations, visual design, layout, and the structure and formatting of the review memo are original works owned by Java Books, LLC and protected by copyright and other laws. You may not copy, republish, mirror, scrape, or redistribute them, in whole or in substantial part, in any medium, without our prior written permission.

9. Copyright and Takedown Requests

Java Books, LLC respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. We do not knowingly publish material that infringes anyone's copyright or trademark.

If you believe material available through the Service infringes a work you own or control, send a written notice to Java Books, LLC at customersarelikefish@gmail.com with: a description of the work you claim is infringed; the location of the material you object to; your name, address and contact details; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; a statement that the information in your notice is accurate; and your physical or electronic signature. We will review promptly and remove or disable material we determine to be infringing.

If you believe your material was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with the equivalent information. We may terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

You must not upload documents you have no right to submit, and you must not use the Service to reproduce or redistribute a third party's copyrighted material. Responsibility for the content you submit rests with you, as set out in the User Responsibility and Indemnification sections.

10. Unsolicited Ideas and Feedback

If you send us feedback, suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, testimonials, concepts or other ideas about the Service — through a form in the app, a feedback widget, email, chat, social media or any other channel — you do so voluntarily and non-confidentially. No confidential or fiduciary relationship is created by your submission, and we are under no obligation to keep it secret or to review, respond to or act on it.

You grant Java Books, LLC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable right to use, copy, modify, develop, implement, distribute and commercialize your submission for any purpose, without payment, attribution, credit, accounting or any other obligation to you.

Submitting feedback or ideas does not give you any ownership interest, equity, revenue share, co-authorship, or other claim over the Service, its features, its roadmap or its future direction, and does not entitle you to compensation if we ship something similar — whether or not it was inspired by, or independently developed alongside, your submission.

11. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at customersarelikefish@gmail.com with a written description of the dispute and to attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for thirty (30) days.

If the dispute is not resolved, you and Java Books, LLC agree that any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, before a single arbitrator, in the state of California or by remote hearing. The arbitrator decides all issues, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

YOU AND Java Books, LLC WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the remainder of this section still applies.

Carve-out: either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized use of the Service.

12. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from the Service are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act.

To the extent any claim is not subject to arbitration, you and Java Books, LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in California, and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the version identifier and effective date at the top of this page, and — for material changes — present the updated Terms to you again in a blocking consent notice the next time you use the Service, and where we have your email address, notify you by email.

Your continued use of the Service after an update takes effect, and in particular your acceptance of the updated consent notice, constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to an update, you must stop using the Service and may request deletion of your account.

We keep a record of the version of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy you accepted, along with the date and time of acceptance. You can view your most recent acceptance in the Legal section of your account.

14. Contact

Questions about these Terms, requests relating to your data, or notices of a dispute should be sent to Java Books, LLC at customersarelikefish@gmail.com.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will stay in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Java Books, LLC regarding the Service.
