These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the LexDana website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Patexia Inc. ("LexDana," "we," "us," or "our").
These Terms become effective for you on the date you first access or use the Service, create an account, or click "I Agree" (or similar). By doing any of those, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. In that case, "you" and "your" refer to the entity.
1. Definitions
- "Account" means the user account you create to access the Service.
- "Content" means all text, data, documents, images, files, and other materials.
- "User Content" means Content you submit to the Service, including documents uploaded, text entered into prompts, data pasted into the Service, attachments, or anything provided through integrations or APIs (if available).
- "Outputs" means results generated by the Service, including analyses, summaries, reconstructions, rankings, signals, charts, citations, or other outputs.

2. The Service
LexDana is a legal intelligence and analytics platform that may analyze publicly available legal materials and User Content to generate Outputs, including citation-backed analytical reconstructions and summaries. This may include analytics-based rankings, reports, or listings of attorneys, law firms, companies, or other participants in legal proceedings based on LexDana's data analysis methodologies.
LexDana provides informational, descriptive, and analytical functionality. The Service does not replace professional judgment and is not a substitute for reviewing primary source materials.
We may add, remove, or modify features, data sources, or functionality at any time, with or without notice. We may also offer beta or experimental features.
3. No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship
LexDana is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on the Service, and no Output, constitutes legal advice, legal opinion, or a recommendation regarding any legal matter. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Service, your Account, any communications with us, or any Output.
You are solely responsible for:
- confirming the accuracy and completeness of any Output,
- reviewing primary source documents, and
- deciding how to use any Output.
You are also solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with any professional obligations or rules that apply to you (including confidentiality, supervision, and independent judgment).
4. AI and Automated Processing Disclaimer
The Service uses automated systems and may use artificial intelligence to produce Outputs. You acknowledge and agree:
- Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inapplicable to your circumstances.
- The Service may not identify all relevant issues, documents, authorities, arguments, claim interpretations, or risks.
- Citations may occasionally be missing, malformed, incomplete, or point to material that requires context and verification.
You must independently verify Outputs before relying on them. You use the Service at your own risk.
5. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. You may not use the Service if you are barred from receiving services under applicable law.
6. Accounts and Security
You agree to:
- provide accurate and complete Account information,
- keep your login credentials confidential, and
- promptly notify us of any unauthorized access or suspected breach.
You are responsible for all activity conducted through your Account, whether or not authorized by you. We may require additional information to verify identity or protect the Service.
7. Subscriptions, Trials, Billing, and No Refunds
7.1 Free Trial
We may offer a free trial or other promotional access to the Service from time to time. The duration, scope, and features included in any trial or promotional offer will be described at the time of signup or in the applicable offer details. Trials may be limited by time, usage, features, or other restrictions. If you provide a payment method in connection with a trial, you authorize us (through our payment processor) to begin charging the applicable subscription fees at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends.
7.2 Subscription Plans and Auto-Renewal
All subscriptions require a minimum commitment for the duration of the applicable Subscription Term selected at the time of purchase, unless otherwise expressly stated in writing. Subscriptions may be billed either:
- in full in advance for the entire Subscription Term, or
- in periodic installments (such as monthly installments) during the Subscription Term.
If you select installment billing, you remain responsible for payment of all fees due for the entire Subscription Term. Cancellation will prevent automatic renewal of the next Subscription Term but does not relieve you of payment obligations for the remainder of the current Subscription Term.
Subscriptions automatically renew for successive terms equal in length to the preceding Subscription Term unless canceled prior to renewal. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize recurring charges to your selected payment method for the applicable Subscription Term. After purchase, we may provide you with a confirmation or receipt by email and/or through the Service.
7.3 Pricing Changes
We may change pricing or plan features from time to time. Changes will apply prospectively. If required by law, we will provide notice.
7.4 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes. You are responsible for taxes, duties, or similar governmental charges, except taxes on our income.
7.5 No Refunds
All fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused time, unused credits or usage, downgrades, early cancellation, renewals, or mistaken purchases. Exception: We may provide refunds only where required by applicable law.
7.6 Cancellation
You may cancel through your Account settings (or the cancellation mechanism we provide). Unless otherwise stated, cancellation prevents renewal of the next Subscription Term, you remain responsible for all fees owed for the current Subscription Term, and no refunds are provided.
7.7 Failed Payments; Chargebacks
If a payment fails, we may suspend or terminate access until payment is resolved. We may attempt re-charges using methods allowed by your payment provider. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we may treat it as a violation of these Terms and may suspend or terminate your access pending resolution.
8. Payment Processing (Stripe)
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. or its affiliates ("Stripe"). We do not store full credit card information on our servers. Your payment information is handled by Stripe under Stripe's terms and privacy policy. You agree that we may share necessary payment and billing information with Stripe to process transactions.
9. Usage Limits and Fair Use
Your subscription plan includes usage limits, which may include limits on:

- Concurrent users or sessions
Specific usage limits for your plan are displayed in your Account dashboard or in the plan details on our website. We may update these limits from time to time with reasonable notice.

Exceeding Limits. If you exceed your usage limits, we may (a) restrict additional usage until the next billing period, (b) offer you the option to upgrade to a higher plan, or (c) charge overage fees if specified in your plan.

23.2 Arbitration Agreement
Except as provided in Section 23.3, you and LexDana agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through binding arbitration rather than in court.

The arbitrator will have authority to grant the same remedies as a court.
23.3 Exceptions (Small Claims / Injunctive Relief)
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, or seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidentiality, or prevent unauthorized access.
23.4 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND LEXDANA AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration agreement may be null and void to the extent required by law.
23.5 Opt-Out
If you are an individual consumer, you may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing info@lexdana.ai with subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your Account email.
24. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of law rules.
