Parties

Licensor: CASE IT Legal (“CASE IT Legal”, “we”, “us”, “our”)

Licensee: The individual or entity that registers for an account and agrees to this Agreement (“you”, “your”, “Licensee”)

1. Definitions

In short: The defined terms used throughout, including Platform, Data, Authorised Users and Subscription Tier.

• “Agreement” means this SaaS License Agreement, including all schedules and documents incorporated by reference.
• “Authorised Users” means the individuals authorised by the Licensee to access and use the Platform under the Licensee’s account, subject to the limits of the applicable Subscription Tier.
• “Data” means the judicial records, court data, legal practitioner information, law firm data, metrics, analytics, and insights made available through the Platform.
• “Platform” means the CASE IT Judicial Behaviour Insights Platform, including all web applications, APIs, databases, algorithms, documentation, and related services provided by CASE IT Legal.
• “Service Data” means data generated through the Licensee’s use of the Platform, including usage logs, search queries, export history, and account activity.
• “Subscription Tier” means the level of access and features available to the Licensee, as described in Section 4 (Free, Solo, or Firm, plus the temporary Founding Beta access level).

2. Grant of Licence

In short: You get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Platform for your own internal business purposes within your tier. You may not copy or reverse engineer it, resell or share the data, scrape it (the partner API on Solo and above is the exception), build competing, rating or ranking products, or use it to harass or influence anyone.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, CASE IT Legal grants the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform during the Term, solely for the Licensee’s internal business purposes and in accordance with the applicable Subscription Tier.

Permitted Use

• Accessing the Platform via web browser or approved integrations
• Searching, viewing, and analysing judicial, legal practitioner, and court data
• Generating and viewing procedural patterns and analytics
• Exporting data in permitted formats (CSV, PDF) subject to tier quotas
• Using Platform data to inform legal research, case preparation, and litigation strategy

Restrictions

The Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Platform or any part thereof
• Sublicense, sell, resell, or commercially redistribute the Platform or Data
• Create derivative works or build a competing product using Platform data
• Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Platform (except through the partner API using API keys issued via the Platform, Solo Tier and above)
• Share account credentials with individuals who are not Authorised Users
• Use Platform data to harass, intimidate, or improperly influence judges, legal practitioners, or court personnel
• Represent metrics or data-driven insights as definitive predictions of judicial outcomes
• Create or publish judge or legal practitioner “rating” or “ranking” websites using Platform data

3. Data Sources and Accuracy

In short: Data comes from public court records, including NSW Caselaw and the Open Australian Legal Corpus, with attribution. It is not an official version of any decision. Metrics are statistical approximations and can be wrong, and nothing is legal advice.

The Platform processes and analyses data derived from publicly available court records and government databases, including CourtListener and the Free Law Project, the Federal Judicial Center Integrated Database, the United States Sentencing Commission, and the Open Australian Legal Corpus.

Australian Data Sources

Australian judicial analytics are derived from the Open Australian Legal Corpus by Isaacus, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence, with adaptations (extraction of metadata and computation of aggregate statistics). The corpus aggregates publicly available judgments from official court sources, including:

• Federal Court of Australia
• High Court of Australia
• NSW Caselaw (Judicial Commission of New South Wales)
• Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania courts

Material derived from Federal Court of Australia decisions is acknowledged as comprising judgments and decisions of the Court. All commentary, analytics, and derived metrics are prepared by CASE IT Legal and are not attributable to the Court. Decisions of New South Wales courts are reproduced from NSW Caselaw in accordance with its published usage policy; copyright in NSW judicial decisions resides in the State of New South Wales. This Platform is not an official version of any judicial decision, and no editorial material prepared by or for the Council of Law Reporting is reproduced.

The corpus does not currently include decisions from the Family Court of Australia (now the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia) or the Administrative Review Tribunal. Coverage may expand as new sources become available.

While CASE IT Legal employs reasonable efforts to ensure data quality and accuracy, the Licensee acknowledges that:

• All metrics and insights are statistical approximations based on available data
• Data coverage varies by judge, court, jurisdiction, and case type
• Pattern-matching algorithms may occasionally misclassify outcomes
• Historical data may not reflect current judicial behaviour
• Data-driven insights reflect historical patterns and should not be treated as predictions

Nothing on the Platform constitutes legal advice. The Platform provides data analytics tools, not legal counsel. Users should exercise independent professional judgment and consult qualified legal practitioners for legal advice.

4. Subscription Tiers and Fees

In short: Free: directory, basic benchmarks and two-judge comparison. Solo (AUD $39 a month): 50 insights and 50 CSV exports a month, counsel briefings, four-judge comparison and partner API keys. Firm (AUD $99 a month): PDF briefs and up to 5 seats. Founding beta: Solo features free with 25 insights and 10 CSV exports a month, no PDF export and no API keys. Prices exclude taxes and change on 30 days' notice. Fees are non-refundable except under the Australian Consumer Law.

Quotas reset on the first day of each calendar month.

Payments

All fees are processed through Stripe. The Licensee agrees to provide valid payment information and authorises recurring charges. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes.

Price Changes

CASE IT Legal may modify subscription pricing upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing cycle following the notice period.

Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by the Australian Consumer Law. If the Licensee cancels a subscription, access to the paid tier continues until the end of the current billing period.

5. Founding Beta and Trials

In short: The founding beta runs to 1 January 2027 unless extended, and needs a single-use invitation code. No payment details are collected. When it ends your account reverts to the Free Tier unless you choose a paid plan. Outside the beta, one trial per person or entity.

During the founding beta (until 1 January 2027 unless extended), verified Licensees receive Solo Tier features at no charge with trimmed fair-use quotas (25 analytical insights and 10 CSV exports per calendar month; no PDF export; no partner API keys). Registration during the beta requires a single-use invitation code, and no payment information is collected. At the conclusion of the beta, accounts revert to the Free Tier unless the Licensee subscribes to a paid tier — nothing converts to a paid subscription automatically.

Outside the founding beta, CASE IT Legal may offer free trials of paid tiers from time to time; only one trial is available per individual or entity.

6. User Accounts and Security

In short: Give accurate details and keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity on your account. One user per account unless your tier allows more, and sharing credentials is a material breach.

The Licensee is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and all activities that occur under the account. Unauthorised use must be reported immediately.

Each account is for a single Authorised User unless the Subscription Tier expressly provides for multiple users. Sharing credentials across multiple individuals is a material breach of this Agreement. CASE IT Legal may suspend access if it reasonably believes the Licensee has breached this Agreement.

7. Intellectual Property

In short: We own the Platform and our compilation, metrics and insights. The underlying court records stay public. You keep your own content and license us to use it to run and improve the Platform. We may use aggregated, anonymised service data, and any feedback you give us.

The Platform, including all software, algorithms, databases, user interfaces, and documentation, is the exclusive property of CASE IT Legal. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights to the Licensee.

While underlying publicly available judicial data remains in the public domain, CASE IT Legal’s compilation, organisation, analysis, and presentation of such data constitutes a protectable database and creative work. The derived metrics, analytics, algorithms, confidence scores, and data-driven insights are CASE IT Legal’s proprietary property.

The Licensee retains all rights in data it provides to the Platform (e.g., account information). CASE IT Legal may collect and use Service Data in an aggregated and anonymised form to improve the Platform.

8. Confidentiality

In short: Each side protects the other's confidential information with reasonable care, for 3 years after termination, and indefinitely for trade secrets.

Each party agrees to protect the other party’s Confidential Information using no less than reasonable care. Confidential Information may be disclosed to employees and advisors bound by confidentiality, or as required by law. Confidentiality obligations survive for three (3) years after termination, except for trade secrets, which are protected indefinitely.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

In short: We collect minimal personal information, do not sell it, use the listed processors (Stripe, Resend, Sentry, PostHog) and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We notify you without undue delay of a breach involving your information.

CASE IT Legal collects minimal personal information necessary to operate the Platform, including email addresses, names, payment information (processed by Stripe), and usage data. Personal information is used solely to provide and maintain the Platform, process payments, and communicate with the Licensee.

CASE IT Legal does not sell personal information to third parties. Third-party processors include Stripe (payments), Resend (email), Sentry (error monitoring), and PostHog (product analytics).

CASE IT Legal complies with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. In the event of a data breach, CASE IT Legal will notify affected Licensees without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law.

10. Term and Termination

In short: You can cancel at any time, and paid access runs to the end of the billing period. We may terminate for material breach, fees unpaid 14 days after notice, insolvency, or where the law requires. Account data may be deleted after a 30-day grace period.

This Agreement commences on account creation and continues until terminated. The Licensee may terminate at any time by cancelling their subscription or contacting hello@caseit.legal. Upon cancellation, paid features remain accessible until the end of the current billing period.

CASE IT Legal may terminate the Agreement immediately if the Licensee breaches a material term, fails to pay fees within fourteen (14) days of notice, becomes insolvent, or if continued service would violate applicable law.

Upon termination, the licence ceases immediately and the Licensee must stop using the Platform and any Data obtained through it. Account data may be deleted after a thirty (30) day grace period.

11. Disclaimers

In short: The Platform is provided as is, without warranties. We do not promise uninterrupted service, accuracy or any legal outcome, and your professional judgement remains yours.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

CASE IT Legal makes no warranty that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular judicial or legal outcome will result from its use. The Licensee remains solely responsible for all professional decisions made using Platform data.

12. Limitation of Liability

In short: To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability is capped at the greater of the fees you paid in the previous 12 months or AUD $1,000. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CASE IT Legal shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill.

CASE IT Legal’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by the Licensee in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or (b) AUD $1,000.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot be excluded by agreement.

13. Indemnification

In short: You indemnify us for losses from your breach of this Agreement, of the law or of professional rules, your misuse of the data, and third-party claims from your use. We indemnify you against claims that the Platform as we provide it infringes someone's intellectual property, on the stated conditions.

The Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CASE IT Legal from claims arising out of the Licensee’s use of the Platform in violation of this Agreement, violation of applicable law, or misuse of Data.

CASE IT Legal agrees to indemnify the Licensee from claims that the Platform infringes any third party’s intellectual property rights, provided the Licensee gives prompt notice and cooperates fully with the defence.
