Terms of Use

Safe Clause is a technology platform that helps individuals and businesses draft, review, counter, and negotiate contracts using artificial intelligence, and connects them with independent, qualified lawyers who can review and certify that output. The Service is operated by Safe Clause (“Safe Clause”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

Safe Clause is not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice. The AI-generated drafts, analyses, recommendations, and templates produced by the Service are automated outputs provided for your convenience. On their own, they do not constitute legal advice and do not create a lawyer–client relationship with Safe Clause.

A lawyer–client relationship, where one is formed, is solely between you and the independent lawyer who reviews your matter, on the terms that lawyer agrees with you. Lawyers who provide review and certification through the Service exercise their own independent professional judgment. Until a contract has been reviewed and certified by a lawyer through the Service, you should treat all output as a working draft only.

AI systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. You are responsible for reviewing all output and for any decision to rely on, sign, send, or act upon any document produced through the Service.

• You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service.
• If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.
• Account authentication is handled by our identity provider (Clerk). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. Notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your account.

The Service has two types of users: clients, who request drafting, review, counter-drafting, and certification of contracts; and lawyers, who provide independent review and certification services. Certain features and obligations differ by role. Lawyers are independent professionals and are not employees or agents of Safe Clause.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Upload content you do not have the right to share, or that infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or confidentiality rights of others;
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorised access to the Service or its underlying systems;
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate any person, or falsely claim affiliation with any person or entity;
• Use the Service to generate content that is fraudulent, defamatory, or intended to deceive a counterparty.

You retain ownership of the contracts, documents, descriptions, and other materials you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). You grant Safe Clause a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content as necessary to operate and provide the Service — including sending it to third-party AI providers for processing and making it available to the lawyer reviewing your matter.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of Your Content, and for ensuring you have the rights necessary to submit it.

When you submit a matter for review, an independent lawyer may review the AI output and your documents, add recommendations, request changes, or certify the contract. Indicative turnaround times (for example, “within 24 hours”) are targets, not guarantees, and may vary with complexity and availability. Certification reflects the reviewing lawyer’s professional opinion at the time of review and does not guarantee any particular legal or commercial outcome.

• Certain features — including lawyer review and certification — are paid. Prices are displayed in Indian Rupees (INR) at the point of purchase and are inclusive or exclusive of taxes as indicated.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment gateway (Cashfree). We do not store full card or banking details on our own servers.
• Fees for completed services (for example, a review that a lawyer has carried out) are generally non-refundable. Where a paid service has not yet commenced, or where a charge was made in error, you may request a refund by contacting us, and we will review the request in good faith.
• We may change pricing prospectively; changes do not affect purchases already completed.

The Service, including its software, design, text, and branding, is owned by Safe Clause or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Contract templates made available through the Service may be provided by third parties under their own licences (for example, Common Paper, Bonterms, and Y Combinator SAFEs under open licences such as CC-BY); your use of those templates is subject to the applicable licence terms. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service itself.

The Service relies on third-party providers, including for authentication, payments, document storage, AI processing, and analytics. Your use of the Service may be subject to those providers’ terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. See our Privacy Policy for the providers we use.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any document produced through the Service will be valid, enforceable, or suitable for your purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Safe Clause and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to Safe Clause for the Service giving rise to the claim in the twelve months preceding the claim, or INR 5,000.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Safe Clause from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have, the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
