Terms of service

Inhouse Terms of Service

Congratulations on being among the 1% of people who read the fine print. Are you sure you even need a lawyer?

Kidding — of course you do! More on that below.

Since you clearly care about how Inhouse works, we won’t play the usual game of hide the ball. Our mission is to make legal services accessible, so we’ve outlined the essential terms in plain English and moved them up front. Without further ado, here are the key points–followed by the obligatory wall of legalese (that our lawyer insists really does matter too). By using the platform, you agree to all of it, so turn around now if you’re not feeling it.

We Are Not a Law Firm

Round Table Legal AI, Inc. (we’ll work on a better name later), better known as Inhouse (or “we” or “us”), provides users access to independent attorneys and self-service AI tools. When you sign a retainer agreement with an attorney in our network, you have an attorney-client relationship with that attorney, not with us.

Independent Attorneys

We don’t employ or control the attorneys on our marketplace. We vet them, verify that their license is in good standing, and require that they have malpractice insurance, but we cannot guarantee their results or quality. For paid users, we include an initial consultation with each attorney candidate and encourage you to use that time to see if they’re a good fit for you.

Attorney Fees and Payments

Over the course of your relationship with your attorney, they may quote you for additional services outside the scope of your plan. To avoid the hassle of sending them an upfront retainer, we collect from you the agreed upon amount for each transaction and send it to them once the job is completed. We may charge them a small transaction fee for using the platform for service and payment, but we do not take a referral fee or split or share fees with the attorneys. Attorneys will run conflict checks to ensure they aren’t representing both sides of the same transaction.

AI as a Tool, Not a Lawyer

The AI is for general information only, like any legal research tool. You shouldn’t rely on any advice or drafts it generates until they’ve been verified as 100% accurate by a human attorney. Only AI tasks that are verified (see Attorney Verifications, below) receive our Reliability Guarantee. If something ends up being incorrect, we’ll refund your payments. You may also have a claim against your attorney if their verification was faulty.

Attorney Verifications

So, what exactly are Attorney Verifications? They are quick reviews of the AI’s work product designed to give you a general sense of the legal issues at stake, including an honest assessment of the AI’s accuracy. Since these reviews are 30 minutes or less, they are not intended to replace a thorough legal assessment (which is also available). They won’t work for especially complex legal questions or extra long documents. If you’re on the free plan, the verification will be done by a licensed attorney who may or may not be licensed in your state for a small charge as indicated. If you’re on a paid plan, an indicated number of verifications are included and you will choose your attorney upfront.

Attorney-Client Privilege

Your communications with your lawyer are privileged and confidential. Your communications with the AI are not. Maybe they will be someday, since this is an evolving area of law, but not yet. Until that day comes, use the same discretion as sharing information with ChatGPT, Westlaw or Google.

What Inhouse does and doesn’t do well

InHouse AI was built to excel at the daily transactional needs of small to midsize businesses, like drafting and reviewing employment and commercial contracts and answering HR, compliance, and IP questions. It wasn’t built for litigation or particularly high stakes or complex tasks like filing a full patent or facilitating a complex merger. For that, we recommend using it for guidance and then looping in your Inhouse lawyer to execute. It also wasn’t built for personal legal issues like divorce or criminal law, but again your dedicated lawyer should be able to point you in the right direction for referrals. And it’s not made for companies outside the United States.

Dispute Resolution

We hope to never disagree, but if we do, we require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. All of that is discussed in more detail below.

Privacy and Data Protection

We collect necessary data to facilitate our services and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and data protection. For example, our team might review conversations and documents to ensure accuracy. We employ enterprise-grade security measures and require all employees and contractors to sign strict NDAs, ensuring confidentiality. We also have a full Privacy Policy, that we consider part of these terms.

And now, the (important) legalese:

By using the InHouse.so website (the "Site") or any InHouse applications or application plug-ins ("Applications"), you agree to follow and be bound by these terms of service (the "Terms”) and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including United States export and re-export control laws and regulations. In these Terms of Service, the words "you" and "your" refer to each customer, Site visitor, legal service provider, or Application user, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Round Table Legal AI, Inc. and "Services" refers to all services provided by us.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service periodically. If at any time you find these Terms of Use unacceptable or if you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use this Site or any Applications. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time without notice to you. If you have any questions about these Terms of Use, please contact our Customer Care Center at support@inhouse.app or as directed in the platform.

YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE SITE, ANY APPLICATIONS, AND THE SERVICES YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.

These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute, as described in Paragraph 6 below.

Please also refer to the InHouse Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

InHouse provides an online portal to assist users with legal-related tasks using AI technology and connecting with a licensed lawyer. However, it is important to understand that InHouse's AI is not a lawyer, does not provide legal services or advice, and its outputs should not be relied upon for legal decisions. The AI's role is to assist in drafting preliminary legal-related documents and providing basic information which must be reviewed by a licensed attorney to be reliable. While we make every effort to carefully vet the attorneys in our network, we make no guarantee as to their abilities or results.

‍

At no time does InHouse review the AI’s answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. InHouse is not a law firm and may not perform services performed by an attorney. InHouse AI is not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.

InHouse strives to make InHouse AI accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, and because AI can hallucinate, InHouse cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications is completely current and correct. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal tool like the kind InHouse provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Applications is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney. By using InHouse, you agree to not rely on it for legal advice without having an attorney review its output.

From time to time, InHouse may perform certain attorney access services and introduce our visitors to attorneys through various methods, including but not limited to (i) legal plans, (ii) third party attorney directory listings, and (iii) third party limited scope agreements. At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with InHouse through the performance of any such services.

This Site and Applications are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of InHouse does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and InHouse. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself until and unless you retain an attorney.

1. Subscriptions

a. InHouse offers subscriptions for certain services. If you purchase a subscription, access automatically renews monthly or yearly, based on what you select, and your card will automatically be charged the current rate, as indicated at your time of purchase (rate subject to change). Cancel renewals anytime by visiting My Account.

b. Fees. If you purchase a subscription, you will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of your initial purchase. If you purchase a subscription that is charged in full on purchase, in each renewal period for that subscription, you must pay the total cost of the next subscription period by the first day of that period. For each subscription, your charge remains for each subscription period no matter if you access the services or Site during any subscription term. In other words, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION, INCLUDING ACCESSING LEGAL TASKS OR LAWYER VERIFICATIONS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED.

c. Billing. You must provide valid credit or debit card information at the time of purchase to allow payment for the initial membership term of a subscription.

d. Renewals. For your automatically renewing subscriptions, your subscription will renew at the end of the initial membership term (the “Billing Date”) and at the end of each successive membership term, until you notify us that you want to terminate your subscription under these Terms or your subscription is otherwise terminated. If you do not notify us, your credit card will automatically be charged for the renewal term of your subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. InHouse may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a prorated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of your latest renewal charge. Unless InHouse otherwise notifies you in advance under these Subscription Terms, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the subscription. InHouse may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards you have provided.

You must pay InHouse the fees associated with your subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front or as part of certain promotions.

e. Notice of Automatic Renewal. We may send a reminder email to your account’s email address of record before your Billing Date. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, InHouse is not obligated to provide this notice. You acknowledge that (i) your failure to read, (ii) your inability to receive, or (iii) InHouse’s failure to send the email creates no liability for InHouse.

f. Promotional Trial Memberships. We sometimes offer customers trial memberships, all of which are subject to these Terms (unless otherwise stated in the offer). For a trial or other promotional membership with no initial charge, you agree we may authorize a charge of up to one dollar ($1) to your method of payment to verify your payment source. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL THROUGH MY ACCOUNT, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR INITIAL MEMBERSHIP TERM.

g. Changes to Subscriptions.

General Changes. InHouse may discontinue the offering of a subscription, including the functionality, content, or availability of any features of subscriptions or Third-Party Services, at any time in its sole discretion. We may also impose limits on features and services or restrict your access to all or part of the subscription. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits. If we add new features to a subscription, the new features will be subject to these Terms. If you add a product or service to your subscription, InHouse has the discretion to charge you a prorated portion of the costs to align your renewal date with your current subscription. InHouse will provide you notice before doing so.
Fee Adjustments. InHouse may increase subscription fees by notifying you of new fees at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. The new fees will be effective on the first day of the renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees for the renewal term and subsequent renewal terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term). Reductions in fees become effective on the first day of the next renewal term without a pro rata adjustment for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
Renewal Term Adjustments. InHouse offers subscriptions of various lengths. InHouse may increase the renewal term from monthly, quarterly, or otherwise, to quarterly, annually, or otherwise at our discretion by notifying you of the new renewal term at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new renewal term moving forward (unless the renewal term is changed in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term).
Discontinuation and Replacement of Subscriptions. Should InHouse cease to offer your subscription, we can discontinue your subscription, continue to provide it to you, or provision a replacement (similar or comparable product) at the then-current price. Additional fees may be charged for such replacement subscription. InHouse will notify you of new fees at least 30 days before they become effective.
By Subscriber. You may upgrade or downgrade your subscription to other available options at any time by contacting Customer Care at _____ or by canceling online at My Account.

h. Termination or Cancellation

By InHouse. InHouse may terminate your use of all or part of the subscriptions in its sole discretion. As your sole remedy, we will refund to you any prepaid fees specifically related to the current term of that subscription.

Your right to use a subscription is subject to any limits established by InHouse or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, InHouse may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend or terminate your access and account, which will terminate these our obligations under the Terms. If a charge made to your credit card is declined, InHouse may, but is not obligated to, contact you and may make multiple attempts to bill that card over a thirty-day period.

If you wish to reactivate your account after a termination, the new term begins on the reactivation date.
By Subscriber. You may cancel your subscription at any time online at My Account. After you have canceled, your subscription will remain active until the end of then-current period.
Services After Termination. After your subscription is terminated or your membership term has ended, you will not be able to access the corresponding subscription offerings.

2. Privacy Policy. InHouse respects your privacy and permits you to control the treatment of your personal information. A complete statement of InHouse's current Privacy Policy can be found by clicking here. InHouse's Privacy Policy is expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

For example, we might review conversations and documents to ensure its accuracy. We employ enterprise-grade security measures and require all employees and contractors to sign strict NDAs, ensuring confidentiality. However, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be deemed sufficient in a court of law to protect attorney-client privileged information shared on the Applications.

You will also be asked to provide a user name and password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND ROUND TABLE LEGAL AI, INC. TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH BELOW. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND INHOUSE FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

(a) No Representative Actions. You and InHouse agree that any dispute or claim between us, including those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, is personal to you and InHouse and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "InHouse," "you," “Round Table Legal AI, Inc.” and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.

(b) Arbitration of Disputes. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing us. In the unlikely event that the InHouse Customer Care Center is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), this Section 6 applies. Except for (i) individual actions in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or (ii) actions in court seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and InHouse agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Disputes include, but are not limited to, (a) those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, and (b) those related to advertising, privacy, data security, and the use of our website. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, Disputes arising before you accepted these or any prior Terms, Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class, and Disputes asserted against InHouse by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.

(c) Arbitration Procedures. For any Dispute that you have against InHouse, or that InHouse has against you, you and InHouse agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process. If you assert a claim against InHouse, you will first contact InHouse by sending an email to info@inhouse.so. The Claimant Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. For any Dispute that InHouse may have against you, we will provide you notice (“InHouse Notice”) in similar form to that described above via the mailing address and email address associated with your account. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or InHouse first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

If you and InHouse cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after notice is provided, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth herein, in court. All Disputes submitted to AAA will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Unless the parties agree in writing to a different location, arbitration proceedings will be held in Los Angeles County, CA; if you are a Consumer, however, you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 6, a “Consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes.

If you are a Consumer, you and InHouse agree to use the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not a Consumer, you and InHouse agree to use the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Expedited Procedures for all Disputes with a value of $75,000 or less. The most recent versions of the AAA Consumer and Commercial Arbitration Rules are available on the AAA’s website at adr.org/Rules and such rules are hereby incorporated by reference into this Arbitration Agreement. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the applicable AAA Arbitration Rules or waive your opportunity to read the AAA Arbitration Rules and waive any claim that such rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and InHouse acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 6 is to streamline the dispute resolution process and that Coordinated Filings are likely to frustrate that purpose. As a result, you agree not to assert a demand for arbitration as part of a Coordinated Filing. A “Coordinated Filing” is any demand for arbitration where the underlying claim is similar to at least ten (10) or more other pending demands for arbitration and where representation for that demand is consistent or coordinated with such other demands. Without limiting any remedies, in the event your demand is part of a Coordinated Filing, we may, at our option, decline arbitration and instead litigate the claim in a civil court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of Section 19.

(d) Individualized Arbitration Proceedings and Remedies. You and InHouse agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 6 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to grant any relief that would otherwise be available in court and to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute, including those arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion thereof. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one claimant.

(e) Confidentiality. The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. You and InHouse agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and InHouse agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

(f) Payment of Arbitration Fees. The costs of arbitration shall be governed by the AAA’s fee schedules, available at adr.org/Rules. If you are a Consumer and you initiate arbitration of a Dispute, you agree to pay the applicable AAA Consumer Case Filing Fee, and InHouse will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. If you are not a Consumer and you initiate arbitration of a Dispute valued at less than $75,000, you agree to pay $250 towards any arbitration filing fees and InHouse will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. If you are not a Consumer and your arbitration proceeding is valued at $75,000 or more, you and InHouse will share equally the costs and fees of AAA Commercial Arbitration. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules.

(g) Opt Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 6 by sending an email to info@InHouse.app. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 19, though, as stated above, you agree any such action will be brought as an individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

(h) Additional Terms. If any portion of this Section 6 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 6 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 6; and (c) to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

If you wish to seek public injunctive relief against InHouse, such claim (and only such claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.

You and InHouse agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over the enforcement of an arbitration award made pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.

7. Additional Terms. Some InHouse Services may be subject to additional posted guidelines, rules or terms of service ("Additional Terms") and your use of such Services will be conditioned on your agreement to the Additional Terms. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control for that Service, unless the Additional Terms expressly state that these Terms of Use will control.

8. Reviews, Comments, Communications, and Other Content. At various locations on the Site or through Applications, InHouse may permit visitors to post ratings, reviews, comments, questions, answers, and other content (the "User Content"). Contributions to, access to and use of the User Content is subject to this paragraph and the other terms and conditions of these Terms of Use.

If InHouse's technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a member pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other members, InHouse reserves the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If the InHouse technical staff suspects a user name is being used by someone who is not authorized by the proper user, InHouse may temporarily disable that user's access in order to preserve system security. In all such cases, InHouse will contact the member as soon as feasible.

InHouse has the right (but not the obligation), in our sole and absolute discretion, to edit, redact, remove, re-categorize to a more appropriate location or otherwise change any User Content.

Rights and Responsibilities of InHouse Users or Other Posters of User Content.

You are legally and ethically responsible for any User Content - writings, files, pictures or any other work - that you post or transmit using any InHouse service that allows interaction or dissemination of information. In posting User Content, you agree that you will not submit any content:
