1. Agreement and authority
Case Razor LLC provides CaseRazor to subscribing law firms. These terms apply to the firm and each person the firm authorizes to use the service. A person accepting for a firm states that the person has authority to bind the firm. A user who lacks that authority may use the service only under the firm's accepted agreement.
A signed order, subscription agreement, data-processing agreement, or other written addendum controls if it conflicts with these online terms. Do not use CaseRazor if you or the firm do not accept the applicable agreement.
2. The service
CaseRazor helps authorized legal professionals manage contacts, matters, documents, forms, tasks, deadlines, communications, billing, client portals, and selected third-party integrations. Features may vary by plan, firm configuration, jurisdiction, or provider availability.
Case Razor LLC is not a law firm, lawyer, government agency, court, financial institution, or payment processor. CaseRazor does not create an attorney-client relationship between Case Razor LLC and a firm's clients.
3. Professional responsibility
The firm remains responsible for legal judgment, supervision, confidentiality, conflicts, filing, service, deadlines, trust accounting, client communication, and professional rules. Users must review generated documents, calculations, classifications, dates, and suggestions before relying on them.
CaseRazor may display information received from USCIS or another provider. Provider information is not legal advice and does not replace an official notice. The firm must verify any date, instruction, or decision that could affect a legal right against the official record and qualified counsel.
4. Accounts and access
The firm must provide accurate account information, keep it current, protect credentials, use appropriate security controls, and promptly disable access that is no longer authorized. Individual accounts may not be shared. The firm controls its users, roles, connected services, and access to client or matter information.
The firm must promptly report suspected unauthorized access to cole@caserazor.com.
5. Client data and instructions
The firm retains its rights in information it submits or connects to CaseRazor. The firm grants Case Razor LLC the limited rights needed to host, process, transmit, back up, and display that information to provide, secure, maintain, and support the contracted service.
The firm is responsible for obtaining permission to place client, employee, opposing-party, witness, family, financial, medical, genetic, or government information in the service. The firm must not direct Case Razor LLC to use information unlawfully.
The CaseRazor Privacy Notice explains the product's data practices and is part of these terms.
6. Optional integrations and assisted features
An authorized user may connect a third-party service. The firm instructs CaseRazor to exchange information with that service as needed for the selected feature. The third party's own terms may also apply.
AI-assisted output can be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. It is a draft for professional review. Users must check source material, current law, agency instructions, and the case record before relying on it.
7. USCIS Case Status information
When enabled, CaseRazor can check receipt numbers through the USCIS Case Status API. The firm represents that it is authorized to check each number it adds or extracts from an official notice.
USCIS controls the source data, availability, response format, and access rules. CaseRazor records when it checked, separates failed attempts from successful responses, and preserves the last successful status when a later check fails. Users must consult the official notice or USCIS directly when a status, date, or instruction affects legal action.
8. Acceptable use
Users may not:
- access information without authorization;
- share credentials, tokens, or API keys, or evade access controls;
- upload malware or interfere with the service;
- test security without written authorization;
- use the service to violate law, professional duties, or another person's rights;
- misrepresent generated content as verified government or court information;
- use provider data outside the purpose allowed by the provider; or
- resell, reverse engineer, or copy the service except as law permits.
Case Razor LLC may limit activity that threatens security, reliability, another customer, or a provider quota.
9. Fees, billing, and payments
Fees, renewal, taxes, payment timing, and refunds are governed by the firm's signed order or subscription agreement. The firm must pay undisputed charges when due. CaseRazor billing and trust-account tools are recordkeeping aids. The firm remains responsible for reconciliation, trust-account rules, payment-provider terms, and accounting review.
10. Security, privacy, and confidentiality
Each party will protect confidential information and use it only for the agreement. Case Razor LLC will maintain safeguards appropriate to the service and the information it handles. The firm should not place credentials, access tokens, or full payment-card data in ordinary notes or support messages.
11. Availability and changes to the service
Case Razor LLC will use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the service. Maintenance, provider outages, emergencies, security issues, legal requirements, or events outside reasonable control may interrupt a feature.
We may improve or replace features. We will provide reasonable notice before a change materially reduces a contracted core function, except when prompt action is needed for security, law, or provider compliance.
12. Suspension, termination, export, and deletion
We may suspend affected access when reasonably necessary to stop a security threat, unlawful use, material breach, payment default, or provider violation. When practical, we will give notice and a chance to cure.
A firm administrator may request account closure by emailing cole@caserazor.com. Before closure, the firm may request an available export. We will keep an export available for 30 days after we provide it unless the written agreement states another period.
Closure disables ordinary access and begins the deletion schedule in the Privacy Notice. Covered information is deleted from primary systems within 45 days after a verified request, and encrypted backup copies expire within 90 days. Legal holds, billing rules, professional duties, security needs, or disputes may require limited retention.
13. Ownership and feedback
Case Razor LLC and its licensors own CaseRazor, its software, design, and documentation. The firm owns its client data subject to rights held by clients and others. If the firm gives feedback, Case Razor LLC may use it without identifying the firm or disclosing confidential information.
14. Warranties and disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, CaseRazor is provided “as is” and “as available.” Case Razor LLC does not promise that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that provider data will always be current, or that generated output will be legally sufficient. Any express warranty in a signed agreement remains in effect.
15. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from these terms. Case Razor LLC's total liability for claims arising from the service will not exceed the fees the firm paid for CaseRazor during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. This limit does not apply where law prohibits it or where a signed agreement provides a different rule.
16. Indemnity
The firm will defend and indemnify Case Razor LLC against a third-party claim caused by the firm's unlawful use of the service, information submitted without required authority, or material violation of these terms. Case Razor LLC will promptly notify the firm and reasonably cooperate. A signed agreement may replace this section.
17. Governing law and disputes
Oregon law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. State and federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon have exclusive jurisdiction, unless a signed agreement states otherwise. Before filing a claim, the parties will try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute through written notice.
18. Changes and active acceptance
We will provide advance notice and a plain-language summary of a material change. CaseRazor will require active acceptance from an authorized firm representative when USCIS requirements, applicable law, or the agreement require it. Continued use alone will not be the only acceptance method in those cases. Prior policy versions will be retained.
