Terms of Service
Last updated June 09, 2026, these terms explain the conditions that apply when you use case_crunch for legal AI research.
Acceptance of Terms
By using case_crunch, you agree to these terms. That includes accessing the platform, reading outputs, running research tasks, or otherwise relying on the service as part of your legal research workflow.
If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the service. This is the cleanest way to read the arrangement: use of the platform is treated as acceptance.
What acceptance covers
Acceptance applies to your use of the case_crunch service itself. It does not create a separate professional relationship, retainer, advisory engagement, or legal representation between you and case_crunch. The platform is made available for research use, and these terms govern that access.
Plain reading: if you open the service and use it, you are agreeing to follow these terms while doing so.
In practice, this matters most when a research task sits close to real-world legal work. A user may be testing reasoning, reviewing a claim pattern, or comparing likely outcomes. Those uses still remain subject to these terms from the moment the service is used.
Permitted Service Use
Use case_crunch for lawful purposes only. That rule is short, but it does a lot of work.
You may use the service to support legal AI research, review legal materials, explore prediction methods, examine reasoning patterns, or test structured research questions. The service is not a place to carry out unlawful activity, evade legal duties, or misuse information about other people.
Lawful research conduct
Permitted examples
- Running research queries connected to legal reasoning or prediction studies.
- Reviewing outputs as one input in a broader research process.
- Using the platform in academic, professional, or policy-focused analysis where the activity is lawful.
Not permitted
- Using the service to support unlawful conduct.
- Attempting to interfere with the service or other users access.
- Presenting platform output as a substitute for your own legal, academic, or professional judgment.
A simple test helps: if the same conduct would be improper without the platform, using case_crunch does not make it acceptable. The tool changes the research method, not the underlying duty to act lawfully.
Users are also responsible for the material they choose to submit, review, or rely on while using the service. If a research task involves sensitive material, personal data, or documents subject to confidentiality, treat that material with the care required by the setting in which you obtained it. For information about how personal data is handled, see our Privacy page.
Scope and Limitations
case_crunch is a legal AI research platform. It is designed to support analysis, not to replace independent assessment.
Outputs may be useful, but they should be read in context. Legal materials change. Facts matter. Jurisdiction matters. A result that looks persuasive in a research setting may still need verification against primary materials, procedural rules, and the exact question being asked.
How to treat platform output
Do not treat case_crunch output as legal advice, a court prediction that will necessarily occur, or a final decision on any legal issue. The service can help structure inquiry and surface patterns, but responsibility for conclusions remains with the person or organisation using the service.
This is especially important where a user is working with live disputes, consumer claims, automated reasoning, or justice automation research. In those contexts, small differences in facts or assumptions can change the meaning of an output. The platform should sit inside a careful research process rather than outside it.
Research boundary: case_crunch may assist analysis, but users should verify important conclusions before relying on them in academic, professional, or public-facing work.
Access, availability, and questions
The service may evolve over time. Features, research methods, and available materials can change as the platform develops. Continued use of case_crunch remains subject to these terms.
If you have questions about these terms, or if you need to raise an issue about your use of the service, contact us through the Contact page. Keep the message specific. It is easier to respond well when the question names the relevant feature, research context, or concern.
