GC AI Services Agreement

Welcome to GC AI. This Services Agreement (“Terms”) governs your access to and/or use of the Services (as defined below) (“Customer” or “you”) and is part of an agreement between you and General Counsel AI, Inc. (“GC AI”). These terms are applicable to our self-service Services and not to customers executing an Order Form.

By registering for, accessing, or purchasing the Services, you signify you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. Together with any additional terms stated in the Services, the Terms provide all the terms and conditions for access to and use of the Services between you and GC AI (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you access or use the Service on behalf of an entity (a “Company”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Company to the terms of the Agreement, and the word “you” refers to Company throughout.

If you do not agree with any terms of this Agreement, you should not access or use the Services. The Services do not constitute legal advice, the practice of law, or the creation of an attorney-client relationship between GC AI and you or any of your users. Outputs (as defined below) are generated by artificial intelligence. The Service and the Outputs are not a substitute for the professional judgment of a licensed attorney. You are responsible for determining when Output requires review by qualified legal counsel before use.

THESE TERMS HAVE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

By using a Trial or Private Preview, you acknowledge and agrees that the products, services and/or features may contain errors, may not operate as intended and your use of such may result in data loss or other damages.

3.2 AI Regulatory Compliance.

3.2.1 Intended Use. The Platform is designed as a general-purpose legal assistance tool to support legal research and other tasks for the benefit of qualified legal professionals and authorized business users. GC AI does not intend or certify the Platform for use cases classified as “high-risk AI systems” under Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the “EU AI Act”).

4. Inputs and Outputs

4.1 License to GC AI. You grant to GC AI and its licensors a non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, process, and reproduce Content and Customer Data as necessary to: (1) provide, operate, and maintain the Services; (2) address, diagnose, or prevent technical problems; and (3) comply with applicable law.

4.2 Customer Data Ownership. As between the parties, you retain all right, title, and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to Customer Data. You may delete Customer Data at any time from within the Platform. If you wish to have all of your Customer Data erased from the Services, you may submit a written request via email to support@gc.ai. GC AI will delete such Customer Data from all systems (including any downstream vendors) within an industry-standard timeframe; provided that GC AI may retain any such information that it is required to retain under applicable law.

4.3 Data Privacy and Security. To the extent personally identifiable information is shared with GC AI, you and GC AI each agree and consent to the use, transfer, processing, and storage of such Customer Data in accordance with the DPA and Privacy Policy. GC AI’s use, retention, and/or disclosure of personal information is for the sole business purpose of performing the Services. GC AI shall maintain the security measures described at https://www.gc.ai/security-addendum (the “Security Measures”). You acknowledge that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that GC AI may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not materially decrease the overall security provided by GC AI.

4.4 Output. Given the nature of the Services and artificial intelligence, Output may not always be unique or accurate, and other users may receive similar or identical Output from the Services. Your rights to any Output under this Agreement do not extend to any queries or data of third party users. Customer Data belonging to you is strictly segregated and will not be accessible by other users outside of your Organization. Output may also incorporate Third-Party Information. You acknowledge that GC AI does not manage or control Third-Party Information, and assumes no responsibility for its accuracy, completeness, or continued availability.

4.5 GC AI Materials. GC AI and its licensors own all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property and proprietary rights) in and to GC AI Materials. All rights not expressly granted to Customer under this Agreement are reserved by GC AI and its licensors. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to transfer or assign any ownership rights in the GC AI Materials to Customer.

4.6 De-Identified Data. Subject to GC AI’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, GC AI will have the right to use De-Identified Data to enhance the quality and functionality of the Services, including through the identification of general usage patterns, the development of aggregated insights regarding market terms and contract positions, and the establishment of industry benchmarks. GC AI commits to employing industry-standard measures to ensure that De-Identified Data cannot be used to re-identify you, an individual or any third party (as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, once Content is de-identified in accordance with Section 1.3 so that it can no longer be associated with you or your Organization, an individual, a company or your Confidential Information, such De-Identified Data is not Customer Data or your Confidential Information for purposes of GC AI's data use rights and obligations under this Agreement.

4.7 Usage Data. GC AI collects tracking and operational data related to your use of the Platform, including but not limited to, the number of chats per user, the number of chats per day, and the frequency of use for each chat mode utilized (“Usage Data”). GC AI may analyze, modify, and reproduce Usage Data to provide, improve, and maintain the Services. Usage Data is GC AI’s Confidential Information. GC AI grants you a non-exclusive, irrevocable license to view, use, disclose, and create derivative works of Usage Data provided to you for your internal business purposes. GC AI will not disclose Usage Data to third parties except (1) in aggregated and de-identified form or (2) when necessary to provision the Services and provide such Usage Data to you under this Agreement.

4.8 Feedback. Subject to GC AI’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, you may, on an entirely voluntary basis (including through functionality within the Services, such as “thumbs up/thumbs down” features), submit feedback or suggestions (“Feedback”). All Feedback is the property of GC AI, and GC AI may use and modify such Feedback without any restriction or payment.

4.9 No AI Model Training. GC AI will not use Customer Data to train generative artificial intelligence models (including large language models).

5. Confidential Information

5.1 Scope. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information, including data and technology, disclosed by a party or its users (the “Disclosing Party”), whether written, graphic, or oral, to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) that a reasonable person should understand to be confidential due to the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) is now in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain without fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) is presently known by the Receiving Party from its own sources, as evidenced by its prior written records; (iii) is received by the Receiving Party from a third party not under any obligation to keep such information confidential; (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without access or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is released from confidential treatment by written consent of the Disclosing Party.

5.2 Obligation and Use of Confidential Information. Except as required or necessary for the performance of the Services or its obligations under this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees not to disclose or use for any purpose any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will take all necessary and reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to any unauthorized third parties.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is legally required by a court or regulatory body to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party must, unless prohibited by law: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party (if time allows) before disclosing, so the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party in obtaining such protective order. If the Receiving Party still must disclose the Confidential Information, it will only share that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally necessary as advised by counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that it remains confidential.

5.4 Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the use or disclosure of Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s express written permission may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm. Any material breach or threatened material breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party will entitle the Disclosing Party to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it.

6. Fees & Payment

6.1 Payment. Unless otherwise agreed in an Order Form, GC AI will invoice you through our payment processor (today, Stripe), and you shall pay such fees upon receipt of an applicable invoice from the payment processor. All invoices will be paid in U.S. dollars. Payments will be made without the right of set-off or chargeback. All payments made by Customer are non-refundable regardless of actual usage, and all commitments are non-cancellable. GC AI reserves the right to increase fees at renewal of the applicable Subscription Term.

6.2 Taxes. Fees do not include any sales, use, value-added, import, export, or excise taxes that may apply to your purchase (collectively, “Taxes”). GC AI does not charge you for our income taxes. You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchase unless you provide GC AI with a valid tax exemption certificate. If you are required to pay any Taxes, you must increase your payment to GC AI so that the net amount GC AI receives after the Taxes is the full amount as stated through our payment processor. If you are exempt from paying Taxes, you must provide GC AI with the necessary legal documents that prove your exemption. Until GC AI receives and approves these documents, you will be charged Taxes on your purchases.

6.3 Future Functionality. Your purchase relies only on the features and functions of the Services that are currently available as a generally available (GA) release. GC AI makes no commitment to deliver any future features or functions, which may not be delivered on time or at all. The development, release and timing of any features or functions remains in GC AI’s sole discretion.

7. Warranties and Disclaimer

7.1 Warranties. GC AI warrants that: (i) it will provide the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally accepted industry practice, using personnel with the necessary skills, experience, and training, and in accordance with these Terms; and (ii) during the Subscription Term, the Platform, in the form provided by GC AI, will materially perform in accordance with the Documentation. This warranty does not apply to (a) any Private Preview, (b) any use not in accordance with the Documentation or terms of this Agreement, or (c) any bug or defect attributable to software, hardware, or a product not supplied by GC AI.

7.2 Remedies. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing warranties in Section 7.1, your sole and exclusive remedy is limited to reperformance or correction of any non-conforming Services. If correction or re-performance is not commercially feasible within thirty (30) days of a receipt of notice from you, then you may terminate upon written notice to GC AI, and GC AI will promptly refund to you all prepaid, unused fees paid by Customer to GC AI relating to the terminated Subscription Term. The foregoing is conditioned upon you notifying GC AI within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the condition giving rise to a claim during the Subscription Term.

7.3 Disclaimer. THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY GC AI ARE DELIVERED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. GC AI MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF GC AI'S SERVICES OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN GC AI'S SERVICES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, GC AI HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. GC AI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT OUTPUT MAY BE INCOMPLETE OR INACCURATE AND THE ACCURACY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS CAN NEVER BE GUARANTEED AND, THEREFORE, YOUR AND YOUR USERS' USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE OUTPUT IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. YOU AGREE TO ENSURE THAT YOUR USERS REVIEW THE OUTPUT AND THAT YOU AND YOUR USERS ABIDE BY ANY LEGAL, REGULATORY, PROFESSIONAL LICENSING, FIDUCIARY, OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY APPLY TO YOU OR YOUR USERS. IN NO EVENT SHALL GC AI OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR OR ANY USER'S USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY OUTPUT. THE SERVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN HIGH-RISK ACTIVITIES WHERE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY OR SEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1 Indirect Damages Disclaimer. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSSES OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REVENUE, ANTICIPATED PROFITS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

8.2 Direct Damages. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL, AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU FOR THE AFFECTED SERVICES DURING THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION TERM FOR THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DAY THE ACT OR OMISSION OCCURRED THAT GAVE RISE TO YOUR CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

8.3 Allocations of Risk. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GC AI’S PRICING AND THE SERVICES ARE BASED UPON THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY HEREIN. THESE TERMS ARE INTENDED TO FAIRLY ALLOCATE RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES (INCLUDING THE RISK OF POTENTIAL FAILURE OF CONTRACTUAL REMEDIES AND CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES). THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FORM THE ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GC AI.

9. Indemnification

9.1 By GC AI. GC AI will, at its expense, defend or settle any claim brought against you by an unaffiliated third party that the Services infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party (“Infringement Claim”) and will indemnify you against and pay (i) any settlement of such Infringement Claim consented to by GC AI or (ii) any damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction to such third party as relief or remedy in such Infringement Claim. GC AI has no obligation to defend or indemnify to the extent the Infringement Claim is attributable to (a) Customer Data provided, uploaded, or ingested by you or your users, (b) any Non-GC AI Applications, (c) your modifications to the Output and subsequent use thereof, (d) Third-Party Information, or (e) use of the Services in violation of this Agreement. GC AI may, at its own expense and discretion, choose to: (i) secure the right for you to continue using the affected portion of the Services; (ii) replace or modify the infringing technology to provide similar functionality and avoid infringement; or (iii) if neither option is feasible, terminate your right to use the affected portion of the Services. If this happens, and you request it in writing, GC AI will terminate your access to the Services and promptly refund any prepaid unused fees you have paid to GC AI for the applicable Subscription Terms. This states the entire liability and obligations of GC AI, and your exclusive remedy, for any actual or alleged infringement of any intellectual property right related to the Services.

9.2 By You. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GC AI and its subsidiaries, agents, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all unaffiliated third-party claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) Customer Data provided, uploaded, or ingested by you or your users, including any claim that such Customer Data infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any third-party’s rights or applicable law; (b) your or any user's use of the Output in a manner that violates applicable law or any third-party’s rights; or (c) your Non-GC AI Applications.

9.3 Conditions. The obligations of the parties in this Section 9 are conditioned upon the indemnified party (“Indemnitee”) (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) in writing of any threatened or pending claim for which indemnification is being sought (“Claim”), provided that failure to provide such notice will only relieve Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 9 to the extent its ability to defend or settle an applicable Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure, (ii) giving Indemnitor, at Indemnitor's expense, reasonable assistance and information requested by Indemnitor in connection with the defense and/or settlement of the Claim and (iii) tendering to Indemnitor sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim. Indemnitee's counsel will have the right to participate in the defense of the Claim, at Indemnitee's own expense. Neither Indemnitee nor Indemnitor will, without the prior written consent of the other, impose any monetary or non-monetary obligation on the other party or make any admission of liability or wrongdoing on behalf of the other party in connection with any pending or threatened Claim, and Indemnitee will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitor, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such Claim, except that GC AI may agree to an obligation for you to cease using the Services.

10. Term and Termination

10.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement remains in effect until either you or GC AI terminates it. You may terminate your Account without a refund at any time upon written notice to us at legal@gc.ai. Such termination takes effect at the end of the Subscription Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice by the non-breaching party.

10.2 Suspension. GC AI may suspend your access to the Services if you or any of your users: (a) breach Section 3.3 or otherwise use the Services in a manner that threatens the security, integrity, availability, or performance of the Platform or any GC AI system and fail to cure such breach within ten (10) days of written notice

from GC AI; or (b) fail to pay fees when due and do not cure such non-payment within ten (10) days of written notice from GC AI. GC AI may suspend access sooner if GC AI reasonably determines that immediate suspension is necessary to prevent harm to the Services, GC AI, you, any user, or any third party. No refunds are available for suspension under this section.

10.3 Auto-renewal. Services offered as a subscription will automatically renew at the end of each Subscription Term unless you cancel by providing us with written notice before the end of the Subscription Term. Renewal will be at the then-current published pricing for the Services.

11. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Dispute Resolution

11.1 Venue. This Agreement is governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflicts of law principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal, state, and local courts of San Francisco, California. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably waive all claims and defenses either might otherwise have in any action or proceeding in any of the applicable courts set forth above, based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar claim, or defense.

11.2 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. For any dispute with GC AI, you agree to first contact us at privacy@gc.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that GC AI has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, through any other equitable or legal means available to such party by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California, unless you and GC AI agree otherwise. If you use the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees by JAMS rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s data security, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights.

11.3 Jury Trial and Class Action Waivers. YOU AND GC AI AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND GC AI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

11.4 Limitation. YOU AND GC AI AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

12. General

12.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and GC AI relating to the subject matter herein and can only be modified in writing, signed by both parties. In the event of any conflict, the order of precedence is as follows: (i) DPA and (ii) this Agreement. Any purchase order issued by you is for your internal, administrative use only, and cannot modify this Agreement; any contractual terms in such purchase order are void.
