Effective Date: March 10, 2026
Last Updated: July 26, 2026
By accessing or using FLexlaw ("the Service"), operated by FLexlaw, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Service at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
FLexlaw is an AI-assisted legal research platform that enables users to search, analyze, and retrieve case law, statutes, regulations, and other legal materials. The Service uses artificial intelligence and large language models to assist with legal research, document analysis, and related tasks.
The Service may include, without limitation:
THIS SECTION CONTAINS CRITICAL INFORMATION. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
The Service does not provide legal advice. Nothing made available through the Service — including AI-generated summaries, case briefs, headnotes, analyses, search results, automated email digests, or any other output — constitutes legal advice, legal opinion, or legal representation. The Service is a research tool, not a lawyer. No feature of the Service — including Paige by FLexlaw, Cite Check, the FLexlaw Reporter, or any AI-powered assistant — is a substitute for the independent professional judgment of a licensed attorney.
No attorney-client relationship is created between you and the Company, its owners, officers, employees, or affiliates by your use of the Service. If you need legal advice, you should consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
The Service uses artificial intelligence and large language models ("LLMs") to generate summaries, case briefs, headnotes, research analysis, and other output. It is important that you understand what these technologies actually are:
LLMs are sophisticated statistical models that predict sequences of text based on patterns learned from training data. They do not "understand" the law, "reason" about legal principles, or "know" whether their output is correct. They are, at their core, advanced pattern-matching and text-prediction systems — sometimes described colloquially as a "very sophisticated math trick." They can produce output that reads as authoritative, well-reasoned, and thoroughly sourced, even when that output is entirely wrong.
Specifically, AI-generated output may:
(a) Contain factual errors, including incorrect case citations, wrong dates, misidentified parties, and inaccurate procedural histories;
(b) Fabricate quotations, holdings, or legal principles that do not exist ("hallucinations") — sometimes citing real case names with fabricated content, or inventing cases entirely;
(c) Misstate, oversimplify, or mischaracterize holdings, reasoning, or the current state of the law;
(d) Omit critical qualifications, exceptions, jurisdictional limitations, or subsequent developments that affect the applicability of a legal principle;
(e) Appear confident and well-sourced while being demonstrably incorrect.
You must independently verify all AI-generated output before relying on it for any purpose, including but not limited to legal filings, client advice, transactional work, or any other professional or personal use.
The Service includes AI-generated editorial content that is presented alongside primary legal materials. This includes, without limitation:
(a) Case briefs and summaries — AI-generated synopses of judicial opinions, including summaries, holdings, headnotes, and procedural history descriptions;
(b) Automated email digests — daily and weekly summaries of recently published opinions, containing AI-generated case summaries;
(c) Research analysis — AI-generated responses to natural-language research queries via Paige by FLexlaw or other features.
This editorial content is generated by artificial intelligence, not written or reviewed by attorneys. While we employ quality-control measures, including automated verification steps, no human attorney reviews or approves individual AI-generated briefs, summaries, or analyses before they appear on the Service. This content is provided as a research aid to help you quickly assess whether a case, statute, or legal principle is relevant to your needs. It is not a substitute for reading the underlying primary source material.
The legal materials available through the Service may not be complete, current, or applicable to your jurisdiction or circumstances. Case law and statutory databases may contain gaps, errors, or outdated materials. The Service does not guarantee that its databases reflect the most recent judicial decisions, legislative enactments, or regulatory changes. Database coverage varies by jurisdiction and time period.
You bear sole responsibility for any decisions or actions taken based on information obtained through the Service. The Company is not responsible for any consequences arising from your reliance on AI-generated output, AI-generated editorial content, or any other content provided through the Service.
If you are an attorney, you remain subject to your professional obligations of competence, diligence, and candor regardless of the tools you use. The use of AI-assisted research tools does not relieve you of the duty to independently verify the accuracy and applicability of legal authorities before citing them to a court or relying on them in client representation.
FLexlaw provides citation-checking tools but does not assume any user's professional or legal obligations. Effective June 15, 2026, Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515(d)(2) provides that, by signing and filing a document with a Florida court, the signer represents that the legal authorities cited exist and are accurately cited. You remain solely responsible for that representation and for independently confirming that every authority cited in any filing exists and is accurately cited before the document is signed or filed. FLexlaw's citation tools are not infallible and may fail to detect a nonexistent, superseded, mischaracterized, or inaccurately cited authority; the Company does not warrant or guarantee that any citation, summary, or other output is accurate, complete, valid, or error-free. FLexlaw's tools assist with, but do not satisfy, discharge, or fulfill, that duty, and the Company makes no representation that any output is sufficient to meet it.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. You may not share your account credentials with any other person or permit any other person to access the Service using your account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.
Access to the Service is currently provided free of charge for noncommercial use. We may introduce paid plans; any such plans, and their pricing and features, will be described on our website and governed by the terms in this Section.
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan selected). Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds will be issued for partial billing periods.
We may change subscription prices upon thirty (30) days' notice. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing period following notice. Your continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
Certain subscription plans include a monthly token allowance for AI-powered features. If you exhaust your monthly allowance, metered billing does not activate automatically. You must affirmatively enable metered billing through your account settings before any overage charges accrue. Monthly token allowances reset on the first of each calendar month and do not roll over. Usage and remaining allowance are visible in your account dashboard at all times.
If payment fails, we may suspend your access to the Service until the payment issue is resolved. We reserve the right to terminate accounts with extended payment delinquencies.
The Service is provided for lawful legal research and related professional purposes. You may use the Service to search, retrieve, read, and analyze legal materials for your own professional or personal legal research needs.
You agree not to:
(a) Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
(b) Reproduce, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or make available any substantial portion of the Service's content or databases to third parties, whether in raw or processed form;
(c) Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or similar technology to access, index, or extract data from the Service in bulk, except through APIs we expressly provide for such purposes;
(d) Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or data models underlying the Service;
(e) Interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable burden on the Service's infrastructure or security;
(f) Misrepresent your identity, impersonate another person, or create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits or restrictions;
(g) Use AI-generated output from the Service to train, fine-tune, or develop competing AI models or services without our express written consent;
(h) Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices contained in the Service or its content;
(i) Use the Service to generate content that is fraudulent, defamatory, or intended to deceive courts, regulatory bodies, or other institutions.
The Service — including its software, design, user interface, AI models, proprietary algorithms, trademarks, and original content — is owned by the Company and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership interest in the Service.
Case law, statutes, court rules, regulations, and other primary legal materials available through the Service are in the public domain and are not claimed as the intellectual property of the Company. These materials are sourced from official government repositories, including court websites, legislative databases, and public legal archives. The Company does not assert copyright over the text of judicial opinions, statutes, or court rules.
However, the Company's original contributions — including the selection, arrangement, indexing, and organization of materials; AI-generated case briefs, summaries, headnotes, and annotations; the FLexlaw Reporter's volume and citation structure; and the overall compilation of the database — may constitute protectable compilations or derivative works under applicable copyright law.
For the avoidance of doubt: You are free to cite, quote, and reproduce the text of any judicial opinion, statute, or court rule obtained through the Service, as these are public domain materials. The Company's AI-generated editorial enhancements (briefs, summaries, headnotes, and annotations) are proprietary content provided for your individual use under these Terms, and may not be systematically reproduced, redistributed, or used to build competing databases or services without our written consent.
The FLexlaw Reporter assigns proprietary citation identifiers (e.g., "2026 FL 2253") to opinions indexed in its volumes. These citations are provided for reference convenience and do not constitute official court citations. The citation format, pagination, and volume organization are the intellectual property of the Company. You may use FLexlaw Reporter citations in legal documents and scholarly works, but you may not systematically reproduce the Reporter's citation database or pagination scheme.
You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service (such as research queries, uploaded documents, or saved notes). By submitting content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process such content as necessary to provide the Service to you.
As between you and the Company, you own the AI-generated output produced by the Service in response to your queries, subject to your compliance with these Terms. To the extent the Company holds any right, title, or interest in such output, the Company hereby assigns that right, title, and interest to you. This assignment does not extend to the underlying AI models, software, or technology used to generate the output, which remain the Company's property, nor to public-domain legal materials or the Company's proprietary editorial content described in Section 7.2.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
We may retain and analyze aggregated, de-identified usage data (such as search queries and usage patterns) to improve the Service. We will not sell your personal information to third parties.
While we implement reasonable security measures, you should exercise caution before submitting confidential, privileged, or sensitive information through the Service. The Company does not guarantee that information transmitted through the Service will remain confidential, and the submission of attorney-client privileged material through the Service may, depending on the circumstances, affect the privileged status of that material.
The Service incorporates legal data from third-party sources, including public legal databases and government repositories. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of third-party data.
The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites or services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any third-party content, products, or services.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
(a) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT;
(b) WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR CURRENCY OF ANY CONTENT OR AI-GENERATED OUTPUT;
(c) WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS;
(d) WARRANTIES THAT SEARCH RESULTS OR AI-GENERATED OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR LEGAL MATTER.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
(a) LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY;
(b) DAMAGES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT, INCLUDING INCORRECT CITATIONS, FABRICATED QUOTATIONS, OR ERRONEOUS LEGAL ANALYSIS;
(c) DAMAGES ARISING FROM MISSED DEADLINES, SANCTIONS, MALPRACTICE CLAIMS, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL CONSEQUENCES;
(d) DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA;
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER THE COMPANY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS IN SECTIONS 10 AND 11 REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
Nothing in Section 10 or Section 11 limits, excludes, or modifies any liability that cannot be limited, excluded, or modified under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Company's liability for:
(a) gross negligence or willful misconduct;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) personal injury or death caused by the Company's negligence; or
(d) any other liability that, under applicable law, cannot be lawfully excluded or limited by agreement.
If any portion of Section 10 or Section 11 is held unenforceable as applied to a particular claim, party, or set of facts, that portion shall be reformed only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of Sections 10 and 11 shall continue in full force and effect as to all other claims, parties, and facts. The invalidity of any specific provision in Sections 10 or 11 shall not render the remainder of those sections, or these Terms as a whole, invalid or unenforceable.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
(a) Your use of the Service;
(b) Your reliance on AI-generated output or other content obtained through the Service;
(c) Your violation of these Terms;
(d) Your violation of any applicable law or regulation;
(e) Any content you submit through the Service that infringes or misappropriates a third party's rights.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Flagler County, Florida. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdictional limits.
You may terminate your account at any time by canceling your subscription and ceasing use of the Service.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, upon notice to you. If we terminate your account without cause, we will provide a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of your current billing period. If we terminate for cause (including violation of these Terms), no refund will be issued.
Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately. Sections 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 survive termination. For the retention and deletion of your account and query data following termination, see Privacy Policy §4 (Data Retention).
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Company's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. The Company may assign its rights and obligations without restriction.
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, internet outages, or third-party service failures.
We may provide notices to you via email to the address associated with your account or by posting on the Service. You may provide notices to us at [email protected].

If you believe that material on the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent.
