Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-03 · effective 2026-09-03 · structure only · awaiting counsel

The contract governing access to TortOS by firms, intake operators and claimants.

Who these terms bind

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Identify the contracting entity and each class of user — the law firm, the intake operator acting on the firm’s behalf, and the individual claimant using the portal — and say which terms apply to which.

The platform is used by three distinct populations, and they do not have the same relationship with us:

  • Law firms receiving a Qualified Lead Intake Summary package
  • Intake operators working leads in the agent and admin surfaces
  • Individual claimants using the client portal to verify identity, give consent and connect records

No attorney–client relationship

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): State plainly that use of this platform does not create an attorney–client relationship with us, that we do not provide legal advice, and how a claimant’s relationship with a law firm is formed instead. This section is the one most likely to be read by a regulator.

Acceptable use

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Set out prohibited uses, including any restriction on submitting information about a person who has not authorised the submission.

Accounts, authentication and account security

Staff accounts use email sign-in with an idle session timeout and device binding for privileged roles. Claimant portal accounts use phone verification with a second factor; a static PIN is never sufficient on its own.

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Describe the user’s obligations for credential security and the consequences of shared or compromised accounts.

Fees and billing

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Describe the commercial terms for firm and operator customers, or state that they are governed solely by a separate signed order form.

Confidentiality, work product and data ownership

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Address ownership of case files and packages, the treatment of attorney work product, and what happens to data on termination.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Draft the warranty disclaimer and liability cap, and confirm they are enforceable in every jurisdiction where the platform is offered.

Governing law and dispute resolution

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): Choose the governing law and forum, and decide expressly whether an arbitration clause or class waiver is used — that decision interacts with the private right of action under WA MHMDA and with CIPA claims, so it is not a boilerplate choice.

Changes to these terms

Awaiting counsel. TODO(counsel): State how changes are notified and when they take effect. Material changes are versioned alongside the notice version shown at the top of this page.
