Terms & Conditions

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.

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:

5. Subscriptions, licenses, and billing

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.
