Terms of Service
Terms of Service.
Effective April 18, 2026.
At a glance
- These Terms govern your use of the Habeas Cortex website and any preview, demo, or free access to the Habeas Cortex product.
- If your firm has signed a subscription agreement with us, that agreement controls your firm’s paid use of the product; these Terms fill the gaps.
- Habeas Cortex is a training tool. It is not legal advice, and it does not send your prompts or documents to any AI system.
- Virginia law governs. Disputes go to courts located in Virginia.
1. Parties and acceptance
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and The Landing Group LLC, a Virginia limited liability company doing business as Sachs & Co.(“Habeas Cortex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operator of the Habeas Cortex website at habeascortex.com and any subdomains (the “Site”) and of the Habeas Cortex training product (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Site or the Service you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Site or the Service.
2. Relationship to a subscription agreement
If your firm has entered into a separate written subscription agreement, order form, or statement of work with us (a “Subscription Agreement”), that agreement governs your firm’s paid use of the Service and controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict. These Terms continue to apply to: (a) use of the marketing pages on the Site, (b) preview, demo, and free-tier access to the Service, and (c) any matter not addressed by the Subscription Agreement.
3. Eligibility
You may use the Site and the Service only if you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract under applicable law. If you’re using the Site or Service on behalf of a firm or organization, you represent that you’re authorized to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” refers to that entity and you as an individual. The Service is designed for professional, B2B use by lawyers and their professional- development staff; it isn’t intended for consumer or personal use.
4. Your account and firm administrators
Some parts of the Service require an account. You’re responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. If your firm’s administrators assign curricula, track completion, or manage users, you acknowledge your firm may receive your training-completion data through the Service. Tell us right away at hello@habeascortex.com if you think your account has been compromised.
5. License to use the Site and Service
Subject to these Terms (and, where applicable, a Subscription Agreement), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non- transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Site and Service for their intended purpose — learning how to work with AI in your legal practice.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Copy, republish, resell, white-label, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any of its content outside your firm, except as expressly permitted by a Subscription Agreement.
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest content using automated means, or bypass rate limits, access controls, or authentication mechanisms.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the limited extent applicable law permits.
- Use the Service to train, fine-tune, or benchmark a machine- learning model, or to build a product that competes with the Service.
- Upload or submit content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or that contains malware or sensitive client data.
- Use the Service to harass others, impersonate another person, or send spam through our forms or email addresses.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, the Site, or the networks or systems that support them.
7. Training content, simulations, and no-AI architecture
The Service provides prompts, walkthroughs, and simulated chat-style exchanges for training purposes. The back-and-forth you see in each lesson is pre-scripted. The Service does not connect to any AI system — ours or any third party’s — and does not send your prompts, questions, or documents to a language model. Outputs shown in lessons are illustrative and may intentionally include common failure modes (e.g. hallucinations, citation errors) for teaching purposes.
8. Not legal advice
Habeas Cortex is a professional-development tool. Nothing on the Site or in the Service — including use-case write-ups, sample prompts, explainers, or simulated AI output — constitutes legal advice, creates an attorney-client relationship between you and us, or can be relied on as a substitute for the judgment of a qualified lawyer. You remain professionally responsible for your work product and for complying with your jurisdiction’s rules of professional conduct, including those governing competence, supervision, and the use of AI tools.
9. Your content and feedback
If you submit content to us through the Service or Site (for example, notes in a demo-request form, edits your firm makes to library content, or feedback about a lesson), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, and create derivative works of that content solely to operate and improve the Service. Feedback and suggestions may be used without restriction and without obligation to you.
10. Intellectual property
The Site and the Service — including all content we provide, software, designs, practice-group write-ups, use cases, walkthroughs, simulated outputs, annotations, and our trademarks — are owned by The Landing Group LLC or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 5, we reserve all rights. Names of third-party AI platforms or products mentioned on the Site (for example, Harvey, Legora, Co-Counsel, ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) are the property of their respective owners and are referenced for compatibility context only.
11. Third-party services and links
The Site may link to third-party websites or services we don’t operate. We don’t endorse or assume responsibility for third-party content. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
12. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle information. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13. Changes to the Site or Service
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site or Service at any time, including for preview or free-tier users. Where possible we’ll give reasonable notice of material changes that affect paying customers under a Subscription Agreement.
14. Disclaimers
Except where prohibited by applicable law, the Site and the Service are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the Site or Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected; that the content will be accurate, complete, or up to date; or that the Service will meet your requirements or produce any particular outcome in your practice.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Habeas Cortex, The Landing Group LLC, or our affiliates, officers, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100) or (b) the amounts paid by you to us under a Subscription Agreement, if any, in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Landing Group LLC and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Site or Service, or (c) your violation of applicable law or the rights of a third party.
17. Termination
You may stop using the Site and Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Site or Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive — including Sections 9, 10, and 14 through 20.
18. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law. You and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
19. Export and sanctions
You agree to comply with applicable U.S. export-control, economic sanctions, and trade laws, and you represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government denied-party list.
20. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any Subscription Agreement between us are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and Service.
- No waiver.Our failure to enforce any provision isn’t a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- No agency.These Terms don’t create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between us.
- Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. The most-current version will always be posted on this page with the Effective date above. Material changes for paying customers are governed by the applicable Subscription Agreement.
