Terms of Use & Disclaimer
1. Who we are, and what these Terms cover
DocketBuster and Studycase (the "Software," the "Service") are products of rollingsentiment.io LLC ("we," "us," "our"). We are a software company, not a law firm, not a lawyer referral service, and not a legal document preparation service. These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and rollingsentiment.io LLC governing all access to and use of the Software, the website, the desktop app, and any related services. If you do not agree to every part of these Terms, do not use the Software.
2. What this is, and what it is not
- Practice and education ONLY. The Software explains proceedings, plays practice and recorded hearings, and coaches moot-court, mock-trial, and self-study rehearsal. It exists so you can learn and rehearse — nothing more.
- NOT legal advice. No output, transcript, card, citation, summary, coaching line, suggestion, or prep sheet is legal advice, a legal opinion, or a recommendation about your actual matter. It is general educational information about court procedure and publicly available law.
- NO attorney-client relationship. Using the Software never creates an attorney-client relationship with us or anyone, never makes us your lawyer or agent, and is never protected by attorney-client privilege.
- NOT representation, and NOT for live use in a real proceeding. The Software does not represent you, does not appear for you, and is not to be relied on as live assistance during an actual hearing, trial, deposition, or other real proceeding.
- NOT a substitute for a lawyer. Only a licensed attorney who knows the facts of your matter can advise you. We strongly urge you to retain one. Your choice to proceed without one, or to act on anything you saw in the Software, is yours alone.
- NOT for prohibited settings. Do not use the Software for graded exams, the bar exam, or any assessment where outside aid is prohibited by your institution, court, or bar authority.
3. Not the unauthorized practice of law
The Software provides general legal information and rehearsal tools, not legal services or advice tailored to your situation. It does not select legal strategies for you, does not tell you what you should do in your matter, and does not practice law. You, not the Software, decide what to file, say, or do. If anything in the Software reads like a recommendation, treat it as a practice prompt to discuss with a licensed attorney, not as advice you may act on.
4. AI can be wrong — you assume the risk and verify everything
The Software uses artificial intelligence and automated retrieval. Its output can be incomplete, outdated, or simply wrong, can miss things, and can misstate the law or a citation even when it sounds confident. Law also varies by jurisdiction and changes over time. You assume all risk of using the Software. You are solely responsible for independently checking every authority, fact, and statement against the primary source and with a licensed attorney before relying on it for anything. Do not rely on the Software for any decision that affects your legal rights.
5. No warranties — the Software is provided "AS IS"
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Software will be accurate, reliable, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any result or authority it produces is correct or current. No advice or information, oral or written, obtained from us or the Software creates any warranty not expressly stated here.
6. No responsibility for outcomes
You are responsible for your own case, your own filings, your own words in the courtroom, and your own decisions. rollingsentiment.io LLC is not responsible for the outcome of any proceeding or for any loss, sanction, deadline, ruling, judgment, or other consequence arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Software.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, rollingsentiment.io LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, cases, rights, or opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms, under any theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Software is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so a part of this section may not apply to you; where that is so, our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law permits.
8. You agree to defend and indemnify us
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless rollingsentiment.io LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Software, your reliance on any output, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
9. Time limit on claims
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred, to the extent the law allows.
10. Your account, credits, and acceptable use
Credits are prepaid and spend on metered product actions at the prices shown before purchase; paid credits do not expire. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card number. If you bring your own upstream model API key, you are responsible for that key, its costs, and its provider's terms. Chargebacks suspend the associated credits and keys while resolved. Keep your keys secret — anyone holding a key can spend your credits until you revoke it. Practice only against material you lawfully have and are permitted to use (your own moot round, a class exercise, a public recording). Follow your institution's and any court's rules. No scraping, reselling, resale of raw model access, reverse engineering, or automated abuse. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation.
11. Binding arbitration; class-action and jury-trial waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. You and rollingsentiment.io LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator, not a court, decides the arbitrability of a claim, but the enforceability of this class-action waiver is for a court to decide, and if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) proceeds in court. Arbitration is seated in Texas unless the law requires otherwise.
12. Privacy and ephemeral sessions
The meter records what you used, never what was said. On the private inference tier, session content is processed on our own infrastructure and discarded at session end. See any separate Privacy Notice for details.
13. Eligibility, changes, governing law, and general terms
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to use the Software. We may update these Terms; material changes bump the version above and the product asks you to accept again, and your continued use after a change means you accept it. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, except for matters sent to arbitration under Section 11, the exclusive venue for any permitted court action is the state and federal courts located in Texas. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, with any policies referenced here, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Software and supersede any prior understanding. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
