Terms of Service

Acceptance of These Terms

IntelliClerk is operated for the use of attorneys admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia. By opening an account, creating a matter, or drafting a brief, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

While IntelliClerk is in beta, your use is also governed by the Beta Tester Agreement. Where the two differ, that agreement controls for the duration of the beta.

Who May Use IntelliClerk

An account may be opened only by an attorney in good standing with the Virginia State Bar. You must enter your bar number when you create your account and keep it current.

• One account per attorney. Credentials are not to be shared, including with others at your firm.
• You are responsible for everything done under your account.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used by anyone else.

What the Service Does

IntelliClerk assists in the preparation of legal briefs. It organizes matters, reads the case documents and discovery you upload, and produces drafts for your review.

The service operates in a single U.S. state — Virginia — and in four jurisdictions: the General District Court, the Circuit Court, the Eastern District of Virginia, and the Western District of Virginia. A matter is opened in one jurisdiction and stays there.

No Legal Advice; No Attorney–Client Relationship

IntelliClerk is a drafting tool. It does not practice law, does not give legal advice, and forms no attorney–client relationship with you or with your clients. Nothing it produces substitutes for your professional judgment.

Your Professional Responsibility

You remain counsel of record. You are responsible for the accuracy, sufficiency, and propriety of every document you file, whatever part of it was drafted here. You agree to:

• read every draft in full before it is filed;
• verify every citation, date, figure, and factual assertion against the record;
• supervise the service's output as you would the work of a non-lawyer assistant, consistent with the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct.

Client Information and Confidentiality

The matters, case documents, and discovery you upload remain yours and your clients'. We claim no ownership of them and we do not sell them.

We treat them as confidential and use them only to operate the service for you. You are responsible for having the authority to upload what you upload and for meeting your own duty of confidentiality.

Archived Matters and Deletion

Archiving a matter closes it and moves it, together with every brief, case document, and discovery item filed under it, to your archive, where it stays readable and may be downloaded.

Deleting an archived matter removes it and its files permanently. That cannot be undone, by you or by us. Take copies of anything you may need before you delete.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• upload anything you have no right to upload;
• file a document produced here that you have not read;
• attempt to reach another attorney's matters, or to use an account that is not yours;
• resell the service or provide it to anyone who is not an attorney holding their own account.

Fees

During the beta, IntelliClerk is provided at no cost. The subscription level is Beta Tester, the monthly cost is $0.00, and no renewal date has been set.

Before any charge is made we will give notice and ask you to accept the terms that replace these. You will not be billed for having used the beta.

Availability

The service may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance, and features may change. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and IntelliClerk should never hold the only copy of a document you intend to file.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that any draft is accurate, complete, or fit to file.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law permits, IntelliClerk is not liable for lost profits, lost data, missed deadlines, sanctions, or any indirect or consequential damages arising out of your use of the service.

Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim. During the beta that amount is $0.00.

Suspension and Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account used in breach of these terms, or one whose holder is no longer in good standing with the Virginia State Bar. Unless the law forbids it, you will be given a reasonable opportunity to download your matters first.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. If a revision is material we will give notice on the account page and ask you to accept it before you continue. Continued use after a non-material revision is acceptance of it.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts sitting in Richmond, Virginia.
