Terms & Conditions
Last updated: June 2, 2026
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Argus, a software application that helps litigators organize case materials, surface information, and draft work product ("Argus" or the "Service"). By installing, accessing, or using Argus, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What Argus is
Argus is an assistive tool. It ingests documents you provide and uses automated and AI-based methods to extract information, build chronologies, identify entities, answer questions, and generate draft work product such as motions and letters. Argus is designed to help you work faster — it is not a lawyer, a law firm, or a substitute for professional legal judgment.
2. "Facts" and other outputs are interpretive
Argus presents items it labels as "facts," "entities," "timelines," "citations," and similar outputs. These labels are a convenience for organizing your material. What constitutes a "fact" in a legal matter is inherently interpretive and subjective: it depends on context, source reliability, legal theory, and human judgment. Argus may misread documents, miss context, conflate entities, omit material information, or generate output that is incomplete or incorrect.
You remain solely and ultimately accountable for the facts of your case. Argus exists to assist you, but every output — including anything it labels as a "fact" — must be independently reviewed and verified by you (and the attorneys and firm responsible for the matter) before you rely on it, cite it, or use it in any filing, communication, or decision. Argus does not relieve you of any professional, ethical, or legal obligation.
3. Guidance, not ground truth; no attorney-client relationship
The guidance of Argus should be handled as a helpful source, but not as truth or fact. The Service is a tool used under your direction and supervision and does not replace the professional judgment of a qualified attorney. Using Argus does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Argus or its operators. You, as the human, are ultimately accountable for all elements of your case. See our Disclaimer for more detail.
4. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Verifying the accuracy, completeness, and applicability of every output before relying on it.
- Ensuring your use of Argus complies with your professional and ethical obligations, court rules, and applicable law.
- Maintaining the confidentiality and security of the documents and case materials you use with Argus.
- Keeping your account credentials and license key secure.
5. Subscriptions, licenses, and billing
Access to Argus is provided under a paid subscription and license. Pricing, included AI credits, and billing terms are presented at the point of purchase and processed by our third-party payment provider. Fees are billed in advance and, except where required by law, are non-refundable. We may change pricing on a prospective basis with notice.
6. Acceptable use
You agree to use Argus only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms and our Acceptable Use guidance. You may not misuse the Service, attempt to circumvent its license or security controls, or use it to violate the rights of others.
7. Intellectual property
Argus, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by Argus and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You retain all rights to the documents and case materials you provide. Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Argus does not warrant that outputs will be accurate, complete, or reliable, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Argus and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or for damages arising from your reliance on any output of the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Argus and its operators from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your reliance on its outputs, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
11. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We may modify the Service or these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in North Carolina for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
