Permitted uses

You may use ADS to:

• Conduct legal-research questions for matters in which you are personally involved or are advising on within your professional licensure.
• Draft documents for filing in courts where you are admitted to practice or proceeding pro-se.
• Obtain practical guidance on procedural and entity-formation matters.
• Use phone consultations within plan minutes (Phase 3).

Prohibited uses — material breach grounds for immediate termination

Content

• Generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, fraudulent, or that violates anyone's privacy or intellectual-property rights.
• Generate content related to the sexual exploitation of minors. Zero tolerance.
• Submit content that violates third-party privilege or confidentiality (including PHI of others, sealed records, or attorney-client communications of unrelated parties).

Professional conduct

• Use ADS to engage in the unauthorized practice of law — i.e., advising others on legal matters in jurisdictions where you are not licensed.
• Misrepresent ADS output as your own original work product when delivering legal services for compensation, without independent verification and without the disclosures required by your bar.

Security & abuse

• Reverse-engineer, scrape, screenscrape, or load-test the platform without prior written permission.
• Bypass authentication, rate limits, or usage metering — including by creating multiple accounts to evade free-tier limits.
• Inject malicious code, attempt prompt-injection attacks, or attempt to extract training data, system prompts, or other users' data.
• Use the platform to facilitate spam, phishing, malware distribution, or any denial-of-service activity.

Commercial use

• Resell, white-label, or rebrand ADS output without express written permission. (Practitioner plan API access ≠ a license to resell.)
• Train competing AI products using ADS output.

Court-filing safety
