Terms of Use

Accepting these terms

These are the terms of use between TempusLexit Inc. and the law firm signing up for UT Chart. Someone with authority to bind the firm — an Owner, a partner, or another person the firm has authorised to enter into agreements on its behalf — must accept these terms before the firm’s account is created.

Creating an account, starting a trial, or otherwise using the service accepts these terms on the firm’s behalf. If you accept without that authority, you personally accept these terms and are bound by them unless and until someone with the required authority ratifies the firm’s use of the service.

UT Chart is offered to law firms and other organisations providing legal services, not to individual consumers. By accepting these terms you confirm you are using the service in that capacity.

Accounts, seats and roles

UT Chart is licensed per seat. A seat is assigned to one named individual and may not be shared between people or used under a shared login. If your firm needs access for more people, it needs more seats.

Every user has a role: Member, Admin, or Owner. A case is reachable by its owner, the collaborators explicitly added to it, and any user holding the Owner or Admin role at your firm. Only a case’s owner, or a user holding the Owner or Admin role, may add or remove collaborators on that case. Owner and Admin users also manage your firm’s seats and billing.

Your firm is responsible for everything that happens under its account, including the actions of every person it has given a seat to, whether or not that action was authorised by the firm.

Each user is responsible for keeping their own credentials confidential and for the activity that occurs under their login. Tell us immediately if you believe a login has been compromised.

Subscription and billing

UT Chart is sold per seat, per year. The current price, trial length and seat terms are set out below. The price is exclusive of taxes: applicable sales taxes are calculated at checkout, from the address your firm gives Stripe, and added to the amount charged.

The free trial is available once per email address. If you have started a trial before with the same email address, signing up again will not start a new one.

Your firm’s subscription renews automatically for a further year at the end of each term, at the price then in effect, and keeps renewing until it is cancelled.

To cancel, open your billing portal from your firm’s billing settings and cancel there, or write to us at the support address at the end of these terms. Cancelling stops the subscription renewing. We do not refund the unused part of a term your firm has already paid for.

Charges are handled by Stripe. Your firm’s billing settings in UT Chart show your current seat count and how many of those seats are in use. The Stripe billing portal, reached from that same page, holds your payment method, your renewal date and every invoice we have issued you.

Acceptable use

You may not upload a transcript or any other material to UT Chart unless your firm has the right to process it — as counsel of record, under a retainer, or under another lawful basis. Uploading material your firm has no right to process is a breach of these terms regardless of how the material was obtained.

You may not attempt to circumvent, disable, or probe the access controls that keep a case visible only to its owner, its collaborators, and your firm’s Owner and Admin users, including by sharing credentials to reach a case you could not otherwise open.

UT Chart is licensed to your firm for its own matters. You may not resell, sublicense, or offer the service to a third party — including operating it as a bureau or outsourced service for other firms or clients — without a separate written agreement with us covering that use.

You may not use a bot, scraper, or other automated tool to extract data from UT Chart or to interact with it outside the interfaces we provide.

Your content

The transcripts you upload, and the charts, chart items, and wording built from them, remain your firm’s property. We claim no ownership in any of it.

You grant us a licence to host, process, and display that content solely to provide UT Chart to your firm — to extract chart items, generate suggested wording, store your data, and make it available to the users your firm has given access to it. We take no rights in your content beyond what that licence requires.

While your firm’s account remains active, and during the period that follows termination described in the section on suspension and termination below, your firm can export its data, subject to the export limit described in that same section.

Professional responsibility

UT Chart assists your firm in preparing a refusals and undertakings chart from a discovery transcript. It does not practise law, and nothing it produces is legal advice.

Every chart item and every piece of suggested wording UT Chart produces requires independent professional review by a lawyer before it is relied on, filed, or served. UT Chart does not verify that a chart is complete, accurate, or fit for a particular matter — that determination belongs to the reviewing lawyer.

Using UT Chart does not change your obligations to the court, to your client, or under your Law Society’s rules of professional conduct. Your firm remains fully responsible for anything it files or serves, including a chart prepared with UT Chart’s assistance.

AI-assisted output

UT Chart’s AI wording assistance drafts the suggested wording for a chart entry using a language model. A model’s output can be wrong, incomplete, or misleading, including in ways that are not obvious on a quick read.

Suggested wording is exactly that — a suggestion. It is not final until a person at your firm reviews it. Your firm must not rely on AI-generated wording without checking it against the underlying transcript passage before it is used in a chart your firm files or serves.

Availability and support

We do not commit to a minimum uptime for UT Chart at this subscription tier. We aim to keep the service available, but we make no commitment about how much of the time it will be.

We may take the service down for maintenance, including with little or no advance notice, and a maintenance window can interrupt your access to it.

Support is available by email, at the address given at the end of these terms.

Warranties

UT Chart is provided as is. We make no warranty that it is accurate, complete, or fit for a particular purpose, and we make no warranty that it is uninterrupted or free of defects.

This section does not exclude a warranty or right that the law does not allow us to exclude. Where such a warranty or right applies, it applies to the extent the law requires and this section is limited accordingly.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to your firm arising out of or relating to these terms or the service, however the claim is framed, is capped at the fees your firm paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

To the extent the law allows, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost data, even where advised that the loss was possible.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend your firm’s access to UT Chart if your firm breaches these terms, if we reasonably believe the account is being used to breach them, or if we reasonably believe suspension is necessary to protect the service or another firm’s data.

Your firm’s workspace becomes read-only whenever its subscription is not active. That happens when a free trial ends without a subscription — at the moment the trial expires, with no grace period — and when a subscription is cancelled or otherwise ends. A failed payment does not by itself make the workspace read-only: the account is marked past due and stays writable while the payment is retried, and becomes read-only only if the subscription then ends.

While the workspace is read-only, nothing is deleted for non-payment alone, and your firm can still open its cases, read its charts, and download the transcripts it uploaded. One limit applies, and we state it here rather than let a firm discover it: a chart can be exported to Word only once every item on it has been reviewed, and marking an item reviewed is a change, which a read-only workspace does not allow. A chart left part-way through review therefore cannot be exported to Word until billing is renewed, although its contents stay readable in the application throughout.

Either party may terminate for the other’s uncured material breach. We may also terminate if your firm’s subscription has lapsed for an extended period without being renewed.

On termination, your firm’s data is retained for the periods set out in our Privacy Policy and Security page, during which your firm can still export it on the terms above. We do not commit to keeping it beyond that period.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the province set out below, and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

The parties have required that these terms be drawn up in English. Les parties ont exigé que la présente convention soit rédigée en anglais. Where Quebec law requires a French version to prevail, the French version prevails to that extent.

We may update these terms from time to time. Where a change is material, we notify your firm before it takes effect. The date at the top of this page is the date it was last updated, and that date governs which version applies.
