SECTION 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 General Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATED IN EXHIBIT A, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE...

HIGH RISK Section 14.2 — Asymmetric Liability Cap Line 412

"In no event shall Provider's total aggregate liability exceed $5,000, while Customer's aggregate liability under Section 9 (Indemnification) and Section 12 (Confidentiality) shall remain completely uncapped with respect to any third-party claims or breaches."

⚠️ Uncapped indemnity exposes client to unlimited downstream damages.
WARNING Section 14.3 — Automatic Evergreen Renewal Line 448

"This Agreement shall renew automatically for successive 24-month periods unless written notice of non-renewal is delivered not less than 120 days prior to the expiration of the current term."

⚠️ 120-day notice requirement is non-standard and causes surprise renewal.

BriefHQ Review Analysis
100% Citation Grounded

Identified 3 dangerous contractual imbalances against your client:

  • Uncapped Indemnity (§ 14.2, p. 14): Provider caps their liability at $5,000, while your client's indemnification is unlimited.
  • Evergreen Trap (§ 14.3, p. 15): Requires 120-day advance notice or locks client into an additional 24 months.
  • IP Overreach (§ 19.1, p. 22): Transfers ownership of client's pre-existing proprietary tools.
PROPOSED REDLINE — § 14.2 (MUTUAL 12-MONTH CAP)

- "while Customer's aggregate liability under Section 9 shall remain completely uncapped..."

+ "EACH PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE MUTUALLY LIMITED TO THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY."

⚖️
The Harvey AI comparison: Enterprise providers routinely quote $1,500/seat with a 20-seat minimum ($30,000/yr upfront commitment). BriefHQ was built so solo lawyers don't get locked out of modern AI.
ETHICS & PRIVILEGE ARCHITECTURE

Engineered for ABA Model Rule 1.6 compliance.

As a solo attorney, your law license and client trust are sacred. You cannot paste client trade secrets into consumer AI tools. BriefHQ was built from day one as a zero-knowledge legal vault.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know.

Clear, honest answers for busy attorneys.

01 Why is BriefHQ $99/month while enterprise tools like Harvey AI cost $25,000+?
Enterprise legal AI companies build massive enterprise sales teams, conduct multi-month implementation workshops, and force law firms to purchase 20+ seat minimum packages. BriefHQ operates on modern self-serve infrastructure with zero sales overhead, passing all the savings directly to solo practitioners and small boutiques.
02 Why can't I just paste contracts into ChatGPT Plus or Claude?
Two huge reasons: Confidentiality and Context Limits. Consumer AI chatbots have terms of service that may use your data for model improvement, directly jeopardizing attorney-client privilege under ABA Model Rule 1.6. Additionally, pasting 50 pages into consumer chats causes context truncation, lost cross-references, and hallucinations. BriefHQ provides zero-retention architecture and structured chunking designed specifically for legal citations.
03 Can BriefHQ really handle full 50-page PDF contracts with schedules and exhibits?
Yes. BriefHQ was purpose-built for real-world legal documents: Master Services Agreements, commercial leases, syndicated credit agreements, and purchase contracts that span 40 to 60 pages. It preserves table formatting, cross-references, and definitions sections.
04 Are my uploaded client files used to train AI models?
Never. We have explicit commercial zero-retention enterprise agreements with our underlying AI model providers. Your documents are processed in ephemeral memory, never stored in persistent datasets, and never used to train or fine-tune public models.
05 Is there really no minimum seat count or lock-in contract?
Yes. 1-seat minimum. You pay $99/month on a credit card and can cancel anytime with a single click in your settings. No multi-year contracts, no cancellation penalties, and no minimum team sizes.
06 When will I get access after joining the waitlist?
We are onboarding solo practitioners in weekly cohorts to ensure dedicated high-speed compute resources. The first 250 verified lawyers on the waitlist will also receive guaranteed grandfathered pricing at $99/month for life.
