Terms of Service

Last updated: [[EFFECTIVE DATE]]

Provided for transparency. This page is not legal advice and does not create an attorney–client relationship; consult your own counsel.

These Terms govern your use of the Metasystems service provided by Metasystems, Ltd.. By accessing or using the service, you agree to these Terms.

The service

Metasystems is an AI-assisted trial-advocacy tool that helps you develop case narratives and generate documents. It provides strategic consultation on narrative methodology only.

Not legal advice. Metasystems is not a substitute for licensed legal counsel and does not constitute legal advice. All outputs are designed to work with your professional judgment, not replace it. You remain responsible for exercising independent professional judgment, verifying all recommendations, and complying with your jurisdiction’s rules of professional conduct.

Accounts & eligibility

You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account and for your users’ and organization’s use.

Subscriptions, trials & billing

Paid plans begin with a 14-day free trial (no credit card required). If you do not subscribe, your account reverts to the Free tier when the trial ends; your cases persist.
Subscriptions are billed through Stripe on a monthly or annual term and renew automatically until cancelled.
You can change or cancel your plan at any time through the Stripe customer portal; changes are prorated per Stripe’s standard behavior.
Refunds: [[REFUND POLICY]].
A “seat” on team plans is one authenticated identity; inactive seats are not billed.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service, including: violating law or the rules of professional conduct; uploading content you lack the right to use; attempting to breach security or access other tenants’ data; or reselling the service without authorization.

Intellectual property

The Metasystems software and the Metasystems trademark are owned by Metasystems, Ltd.. The underlying narrative methodology is attributed to Eric Oliver, Facts Can’t Speak for Themselves (NITA, 2015). You retain all rights to your case content.

Disclaimers & limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Metasystems, Ltd. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amounts you paid for the service in the 12 months before the claim.

Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and Metasystems, Ltd. agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [[COUNTY]] County, Illinois.
