Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-18 - effective 2026-09-18

These terms are an agreement between you and F-Law (“F-Law,” “we,” “us”) and cover f-law.app and every tool, document, and figure it produces. You accept these terms by checking the acceptance box when you create an account, and by agreeing to any updated version when we ask after you sign in. Your account records the version you accepted and when. If you use the public parts of the site without an account, these terms govern that use as well. If you use F-Law on behalf of a firm, you confirm you are authorized to bind it, and “you” includes the firm. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

1. What F-Law is, and is not

F-Law provides drafting, review, and calculation tools and general legal information built for legal professionals, with the child support calculator open to the public. We are not a law firm, we do not practice law, and we do not provide legal advice - to you or to any client. Using the site, or contacting us through it, creates no attorney-client relationship and no duty of confidentiality on our part beyond what the Privacy Policy states. The tools give general information and assemble documents from the elections you make; they cannot tell you what is right for a particular case. The tools assume that a licensed attorney exercises independent professional judgment on everything the tools produce. The filing attorney, or a self-represented party who chooses to use a tool, remains solely responsible for every figure and document relied upon, filed, or served.

2. Your account

You need an account to save matters and to run the signed-in tools. You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract to create one. Give us a working email address, keep your password and recovery key to yourself, and tell us promptly through the contact form if you believe your account has been used without your permission. You are responsible for activity under your account. One account is for one person; do not share credentials or let another person sign in as you. Practitioner profile fields (name, bar number, firm, contact details, logo, and photo) are optional; whatever you enter must be accurate. Bar-number autofill reads your public listing from the Nevada Law Directory at your request, and you may edit or remove anything it fills in.

3. The encrypted vault - and what we cannot do for you

Your matters are encrypted in your browser with a key derived from your password. We store only ciphertext, a verification of your password, the public salt used to derive your keys, your data key wrapped under your password and again under your recovery key, and a one-way verifier that lets us confirm a recovery-key reset without being able to read anything. We cannot read your matters, and we cannot recover them. If you forget your password, the recovery key shown once at signup (or reissued from your account page) is the only way back in. If you lose both your password and your recovery key, your saved matters are permanently unrecoverable, and no request to us can change that. You accept this as a condition of using the vault. The vault is a convenience, not your file: keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose. Use Export backup on your matters page if you want a readable copy outside the vault; that file is downloaded in the clear, so store it as carefully as the client file itself. Deleting a matter or your account is immediate and permanent; we cannot undo it. Changing your password, or resetting it with your recovery key, keeps your data; either action signs out your other devices. Section 13 applies to any loss of matters.

4. Client information and your professional responsibility

You decide what to enter. Matters commonly hold client names, case numbers, and payment histories. Saved matters are encrypted so they are never readable on our servers. The Privacy Policy describes the two paths where text you submit is processed on our server in memory and not stored: document generation, and the deeper review layer, which also sends the text to an AI model run by a third-party provider. Whether and how to use the tools with a particular client’s information is your judgment under the rules of professional conduct that govern you. We do not make that judgment for you, and nothing on the site is an opinion that a particular use satisfies those rules. Enter only information you have the right to use, and do not upload material subject to a sealing order or protective order that forbids processing by a third-party service.

5. Generated documents

The Preparer assembles orders and pleadings from fixed clause language grounded in the cited primary sources, using the elections you make at each fork. The output carries no review banner because it is generated for a licensed attorney to review and file. That makes review your job, not ours: you are solely responsible for the accuracy, suitability, filing, and service of every document, and for any pre-approval a plan or retirement system requires. Pre-approval by the plan or retirement system before entry is recommended where it is offered. A generated document is not approved by any court, agency, or plan administrator until that body approves it, and you must not represent otherwise.

6. Review findings are flags, not conclusions

The Scrutinizer identifies elements it could not detect and elections the authorities expect to be express. A finding is a prompt for attorney judgment - it is not a determination that an order is invalid, and a clean report is not a determination that an order is valid. The deeper review layer sends the document text once to our server and to an AI model run by a third-party provider to produce additional findings, as the Privacy Policy describes; you may skip it for any document. Findings from either layer are suggestions for you to evaluate against the governing authorities.

7. Calculators and figures

The calculators apply the statutes, published rate tables, and case law they cite, and every report carries the engine version and rate-table date used, so a figure can be reproduced later. Statutory rates change twice a year and are entered from the official publication; where a rate has not yet been published we say so on the report. Where the law leaves a method open (day-count, payment allocation, penalty accrual), the tools present the choice and cite it rather than deciding for you. You must verify every figure against the governing statutes, the published rate tables, and the underlying orders and payment records before relying on it, filing it, or serving it.

8. Imported data

The import tools accept matter data you export from another program or enter by hand. Import only data you are entitled to use. A “match my prior report” option reproduces the conventions of another program so that a schedule can be reconciled with one prepared earlier; the report states which method it used.

9. Acceptable use

Use the site lawfully and for its intended purpose. Do not probe, disrupt, or overload the site, or interfere with its security features. Do not scrape the case library or any other content at volume, or use automated means to bulk-download it. Do not use another person’s account or share yours. Do not misrepresent a generated document or review report as approved or endorsed by any court, agency, plan administrator, or by us. Do not remove or alter attributions or version stamps on reports. Do not use the site to build a competing dataset or service from our content. The open-source calculation and review libraries are released separately under the Apache License 2.0 and may be used under its terms.

10. Pricing

Every tool is free today, and there is no renewal charge. Accounts run in free one-year periods from signup. We may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, anyone already signed up stays free at least through the end of their current one-year period, any change would apply only after that, and we will say so plainly in advance. We will not charge you for anything without your express agreement at the time.

11. Ownership

Documents and reports you generate are yours. The site, its design, its text, its case summaries, and its organization are ours or our licensors’, and you may not reproduce them beyond the ordinary use of the site. Official statutory, regulatory, and model-order language belongs to the public. The calculation and review libraries are released open source under the Apache License 2.0, which governs any use of that code. If you send us suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

Every rule, clause, and figure cites the statute, regulation, case, or official model it comes from, and the calculation and review logic is published for peer review. Even so, the site, the tools, the calculators, and every figure, schedule, clause, document, and finding they generate are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and accuracy, and any warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any result is correct, current, complete, or suitable for your purpose. Laws, regulations, published rate tables, and agency requirements change, and errors are possible.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will F-Law, its operators, contributors, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost data, or lost or unrecoverable matters, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the site or its output is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us to use the site in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100). For users of the free tools, that means $100. These limits apply to all theories of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. They do not apply to liability for fraud or willful misconduct, or to any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

14. Your responsibility to others

You are responsible for the information you enter, the documents you file, and the figures you present. If a third party brings a claim against us that arises from your filings, your use of the site in breach of these terms, or your violation of law, you agree to defend us against that claim and to cover the resulting losses and reasonable costs, including attorney fees. That obligation applies only to the extent the claim arises from your conduct, and not to the extent it results from our breach of these terms or our own misconduct. We will tell you promptly about the claim and cooperate with the defense at your expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault on our part or imposes obligations on us without our written consent.

15. Some limits may not apply to you

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain damages. To that extent, the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you, and nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the applicable law allows. The disclaimers and limitations in these terms apply to the fullest extent permitted and survive any termination of your account or your use of the site.

16. Ending your account

You may delete any matter at any time from your matters page, and your entire account from your account page; deleting the account removes your stored ciphertext and your account record. We may suspend or close an account that violates these terms, threatens the security or reliability of the site, or is used to abuse others, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents it. If we ever discontinue the service we will give reasonable notice so you can export your matters. Sections 3, 5 through 9, and 11 through 19 survive closure.

17. Governing law and venue

These terms and any dispute arising out of them or the site are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there. Nothing in this section limits either party’s right to seek an injunction to protect the security of the site or the confidentiality of data.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Every change bumps the version shown at the top of this page and is described in the version history below. If a change affects your rights or obligations we will ask you to agree to it the next time you sign in, and your account records the version you accepted; if it is clerical (typos, contact details, section numbering) we will not. A change never applies to a dispute that arose before its effective date.

19. Contact and general terms

Questions about these terms go through the contact form. We send notices to the email address on your account, and you agree to receive them electronically. We may assign these terms to any person or entity that takes over operation of the site, and we will post the change on the About page; you may not assign your account. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the site.
