Terms of Service

Last updated: March 30, 2026

Important: NotALawyer is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The information provided through our Service is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or substitute for the advice of a licensed attorney. Always consult a qualified attorney for advice specific to your situation.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using NotALawyer.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time; continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

NotALawyer provides an AI-powered platform that offers general legal information, AI-drafted legal letter templates, and a directory of licensed, bar-registered lawyers. NotALawyer is not a law firm and does not operate as a lawyer referral service; we do not select, rank, or recommend any specific attorney. The Service is designed to help individuals understand their legal situation in plain English before deciding whether to engage an attorney.

3. Not Legal Advice

The information provided by NotALawyer is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and NotALawyer or any attorney listed on the platform. You should not act or refrain from acting based on information from the Service without seeking qualified legal counsel. NotALawyer is not responsible for any action taken or not taken based on content provided through the Service.

4. User Accounts

You may use portions of the Service without creating an account. To access certain features (conversation history, saved letters), you must sign in using Google OAuth. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and promptly update it if it changes.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Engage in any illegal activity or facilitate illegal activity by others.
  • Harass, threaten, or harm other users or attorneys listed on the platform.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its underlying systems.
  • Submit false or misleading information, including fraudulent attorney credentials.
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically collect data from the Service without written permission.
  • Reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the underlying AI models or data.
  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law.

6. AI-Generated Content

The AI responses provided by the Service are generated automatically and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any AI-generated content. You assume full responsibility for any decisions made based on AI-generated content and should verify important legal information with a licensed attorney.

7. Attorney Partners

Attorneys listed on the platform ("Legal Partners") are independent legal professionals and are not employees or agents of NotALawyer. We verify bar credentials but do not supervise legal services, guarantee outcomes, or endorse any specific attorney. Any attorney-client relationship you form is solely between you and the attorney.

Attorneys who register as Legal Partners agree to maintain an active bar license, provide accurate profile information, respond professionally to inquiries from prospective clients introduced through the directory, and comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct for attorneys.

8. Payments

Attorney partner subscriptions are billed monthly at the rate displayed at signup. Payments are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time and will not renew after the current billing period. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. All fees are in U.S. dollars.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, and underlying software, is owned by NotALawyer and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission. AI-generated letter drafts created through the Service may be used by you for personal legal purposes.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTALAWYER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NotALawyer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through informal negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in English.
