Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

In short: Using CASE IT means you accept these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, SaaS Licence Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy. If they conflict, the SaaS Licence Agreement prevails.

By accessing or using the CASE IT platform (“Platform”), operated by CASE IT Legal (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and SaaS Licence Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy. In the event of a conflict, the SaaS Licence Agreement prevails.

2. Description of Service

In short: CASE IT provides analytics from public court records: judge profiles, counsel appearance records, rule-based insights, comparison and exports.

CASE IT is a judicial behaviour insights platform that provides analytical data and metrics derived from publicly available court records. The Platform enables legal professionals to search and analyse judicial profiles, view counsel and law firm appearance records (descriptive appearance data; the Platform does not publish counsel-level outcome rates), view rule-based analytical insights generated from historical data, compare judges, and export data in CSV and PDF formats (subject to Subscription Tier limits).

3. Eligibility

In short: For legal professionals and adults aged 18 or over. If you sign up for an organisation, you must have authority to bind it.

The Platform is intended for legal professionals and adults aged 18 or older. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement, and if acting on behalf of an organisation, have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

4. Account Registration

In short: Give accurate details, keep your login secure and do not share it. One person per account unless your tier allows more. During invitation-only periods you need a valid, single-use code. We may suspend accounts that breach these Terms.

• Accurate Information. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it up to date.
• Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately at security@caseit.legal if you suspect unauthorised access.
• One Account Per User. Each account is for a single individual unless your Subscription Tier expressly permits multiple users. Sharing credentials is prohibited.
• Suspension. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose a security risk.
• Invitation-Gated Registration. During periods in which the Platform operates an invitation-only programme (including the founding beta), registration requires a valid invitation code. Invitation codes are single-use, non-transferable once redeemed, and may be revoked if obtained or used in breach of these Terms.

5. Subscription Tiers and Billing

In short: Tiers and prices are on the Pricing page (Solo AUD $39 a month, Firm AUD $99 a month, excluding GST). During the founding beta verified accounts get Solo access free and nothing converts to a paid plan automatically. We give 30 days' notice of price changes. Fees are generally non-refundable, subject to the Australian Consumer Law.

The Platform is available in the tiers described on our Pricing page (currently Free, Solo, and Firm). Features and quotas are described on our Pricing page and in the SaaS Licence Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the Pricing page and these Terms or the SaaS Licence Agreement, these Terms and the SaaS Licence Agreement prevail. The Pricing page version applicable to your subscription is the version in effect at the time you subscribed or last renewed.

• Free Tier: Limited access at no cost. May be modified upon thirty (30) days’ notice. If the Free Tier is discontinued, you will have a thirty (30) day window to export any data you have created or saved on the Platform before access is removed.
• Founding Beta: During the founding beta (until 1 January 2027 unless extended), verified accounts receive Solo-level access at no charge, subject to fair-use quotas described on the Pricing page. No payment information is collected during the beta, and registration requires a valid single-use invitation code. Before the beta ends we will notify you of the plans then available; nothing converts to a paid subscription automatically.
• Solo Tier: Outside the founding beta, monthly (AUD $39) or annual (AUD $396) subscription.
• Firm Tier: Outside the founding beta, monthly (AUD $99) or annual (AUD $996) subscription. Includes all Solo features plus PDF reports and team features (up to 5 seats).
• Payments: Processed by Stripe. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST).
• Price Changes: Thirty (30) days’ written notice; changes apply at the next billing cycle.
• Refunds: Generally non-refundable. Upon cancellation, paid features continue until the end of the current billing period. Refunds available as required by Australian Consumer Law.

6. Data Sources and Accuracy

In short: Data comes from public court records. Metrics are statistical approximations, coverage varies and classification can be wrong. Verify against primary sources before relying on anything material.

The Platform derives data from publicly available government records, including NSW Caselaw, the Open Australian Legal Corpus, CourtListener and the Free Law Project, the Federal Judicial Center Integrated Database, and the United States Sentencing Commission.

While we employ reasonable efforts to ensure data quality, you acknowledge that:

• All metrics and insights are statistical approximations, not definitive facts
• Data coverage varies by judge, court, jurisdiction, and case type
• Classification algorithms may produce errors
• Historical data may not reflect current judicial behaviour
• Analytical outputs reflect historical patterns and are not predictions

You should verify Platform data against primary sources before relying on it for material decisions.

7. No Legal Advice

In short: CASE IT is an analytics tool, not a law firm, and nothing on it is legal advice.

8. Permitted and Prohibited Use

In short: Use it for legal research, preparation and study. Do not use it to harass or influence anyone, present figures as predictions, resell or scrape the data, build rating or ranking sites, share logins or get around limits. Breaches can lead to suspension, termination or legal action.

Permitted Uses

• Legal research and case preparation
• Litigation strategy and planning
• Legal Practitioner and opposing counsel assessment
• Judicial education and academic research (with attribution)

Violations may result in warnings, suspension, termination, or legal action.

9. Intellectual Property

In short: We own the Platform and our analysis. The underlying court records stay public. You own your content, and license us to use it only to run and improve the Platform.

The Platform — including software, algorithms, databases, interfaces, and documentation — is the exclusive property of CASE IT Legal. Underlying public court records remain in the public domain, but our compilation, analysis, derived metrics, and analytical features are proprietary.

You retain ownership of content you create. If you use Platform data in published works, provide reasonable attribution to the data sources as indicated in the Platform.

10. Privacy

In short: The Privacy Policy governs personal information. We collect the minimum, do not sell it, and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We collect minimal personal information, do not sell it, and comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

11. Disclaimers

In short: The Platform is provided as is, without warranties, to the extent the law allows. We do not promise uninterrupted service, accuracy or any legal outcome.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, that data will be accurate or current, or that any particular legal outcome will result from its use.

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 law, CASE IT Legal shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of: (a) fees paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) One thousand Australian Dollars (AUD $1,000).

Nothing in these Terms 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 cover our losses if they arise from your breach of these Terms or the law, your misuse of Platform data, or a third-party claim arising from your use.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CASE IT Legal from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the Platform in violation of these Terms, violation of applicable law, or misuse of Platform data.

14. Termination

In short: You can close your account at any time, and a paid plan runs to the end of its billing period. We can suspend or end accounts for breach, non-payment after notice, or where the law requires. Account data may be deleted after a 30-day grace period.

• By You: Close your account at any time through account settings or by contacting hello@caseit.legal. Active subscriptions continue until the billing period ends.

In short: New South Wales law governs Australian users and everyone outside the United States. New York law governs United States users. Both sides try to negotiate for 30 days before legal proceedings, except for urgent injunctions. We give at least 30 days' notice of material changes.

• Governing Law. If you are located in Australia or access the Platform primarily from Australia, these Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. If you are located in the United States or access the Platform primarily from the United States, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York. In all other cases these Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. Nothing in this clause limits any rights you may have under mandatory provisions of local law.
• Dispute Resolution. Before commencing proceedings, both parties agree to attempt good faith negotiation for at least thirty (30) days.
