Terms of Service
Effective Date: June 11, 2026 | Last Updated: June 11, 2026
Restricted Access — Licensed Law Firms Only. Attorney Minds is sold exclusively to U.S.-licensed law firms and solo practitioners licensed to practice law. All purchases require firm verification and approval. This is not a consumer product. Attorney Minds is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All AI-generated outputs are drafts only and require review, verification, and independent professional judgment by a licensed attorney before any work product is delivered to a client.
This Terms of Service Agreement ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitutes a legally binding agreement between Detailed In Design, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), an Illinois limited liability company, and the licensed law firm or solo practitioner that subscribes to the Service (the "Firm," "Subscriber," or "you"). The Service, including the Attorney Minds platform and its five client-portal modules — Real Estate Legal Workflow, Estate Plan Plus, Probate Navigator, Landlord Legal Ops, and Family Property Protection (collectively, the "Service") — is made available only to Subscribers that qualify under the Eligibility section below. By accessing or using the Service, the Firm acknowledges that it has read, understood, and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, and that the individual accepting these Terms is authorized to bind the Firm. If the Firm does not agree, it must not access or use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms govern the relationship between the Company and the Firm. The Firm is the Subscriber and the buyer of the Service. Acceptance of these Terms by an attorney, principal, administrator, or other representative of the Firm binds the Firm and all of its Authorized Users (defined below). The Company is a software company. It is not a law firm, is not engaged in the practice of law, and provides no legal advice and exercises no legal judgment in connection with the Service.
2. Eligibility and Restricted Access
The Service is offered exclusively to: U.S.-licensed law firms and solo practitioners licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. This is not a consumer product and is not offered to the general public, to the Firm's clients, or to any non-attorney entity for independent use.
To be and remain eligible to subscribe to and use the Service, the Firm must:
- Be a law firm, professional corporation, or solo practitioner that is duly authorized to practice law in the United States;
- Ensure that every attorney granted access holds and maintains a valid, active license to practice law in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction;
- Maintain valid bar licenses for its supervising attorneys for the duration of the subscription and provide proof of such licensure to the Company upon request;
- Use the Service solely in connection with the lawful practice of law and the Firm's representation of its own clients; and
- Not resell, sublicense, or provide independent access to the Service to any person or entity that is not an Authorized User of the Firm.
2.1 Firm Verification and Purchase Approval
All purchases of the Service require prior firm verification and approval by the Company. As part of onboarding, the Firm must submit:
- Proof that the Firm is a law firm or solo legal practice (business registration, professional corporation documents, or equivalent);
- The bar license number(s) and licensing jurisdiction(s) of the responsible attorney(s);
- The Firm's website and verifiable business contact information; and
- Identification of the attorney(s) who will supervise use of the Service within the Firm.
The Company reserves the right to deny access to any applicant that cannot demonstrate that it is a U.S.-licensed law firm or licensed solo practitioner. The Company may also require re-verification of licensure at any time during the subscription term, and may suspend or terminate access if licensure cannot be confirmed. Approval decisions are at the Company's sole discretion.
3. Authorized Users and Clients
3.1 Authorized Users
"Authorized Users" are the individuals the Firm permits to access the Service under the Firm's subscription. There are two categories:
- Attorneys — Licensed attorneys of the Firm who have full access to the Service and who bear all professional responsibility for the use of the Service, for supervising AI-assisted work, and for reviewing and approving all legal work product. Attorneys are responsible for compliance with their professional and ethical obligations, including the duty of competence, the duty of confidentiality, and the duty to supervise.
- Supervised non-attorney staff — Paralegals, legal assistants, and other non-attorney personnel of the Firm who have limited access as configured by the Firm. Non-attorney staff act only under the supervision of a responsible attorney and may not exercise legal judgment, approve work product for client delivery, or perform any function reserved to a licensed attorney.
The Firm is responsible for all activity conducted under its subscription and under each Authorized User account, for assigning appropriate access levels, and for promptly disabling access for any individual who leaves the Firm or loses authorization.
3.2 Clients
The Firm's clients are not subscribers and have no independent subscription to the Service. A Client ("Client") accesses a portal module only as provided by, and within the scope authorized by, the Client's assigned attorney at the Firm.
All legal work product is gated behind mandatory review by the assigned attorney. No AI-generated output, draft, analysis, or document is made visible to a Client until the assigned attorney has reviewed and approved it for delivery. The Firm and its attorneys are solely responsible for determining what is delivered to a Client, when, and in what form. The Company has no attorney-client relationship with any Client and provides nothing directly to Clients.
4. Description of Service
Attorney Minds is an AI-assisted legal practice and client-portal platform that provides, among other capabilities:
- Matter and workflow management across the five client-portal modules;
- AI-assisted drafting and document analysis that produces drafts for attorney review;
- Client-facing portals through which the Firm's attorneys deliver attorney-approved work product and communications to their Clients;
- Role-based access controls separating attorney, supervised-staff, and Client access; and
- Audit logging and review controls supporting the mandatory attorney-review workflow.
Deployment model. The Service is provided as hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS). The Company operates the underlying infrastructure (an RKE2/Kubernetes environment). Each Firm's data is logically segregated from that of other Firms, access is provided over TLS 1.3, and data is encrypted at rest using AES-256. The Service is hosted and operated by the Company; it is not installed on or operated from the Firm's own servers.
Mandatory work-product gating. The Service is designed so that all legal work product passes through assigned-attorney review before any Client sees it. This review is a required step and may not be bypassed. AI outputs remain drafts until a licensed attorney reviews and approves them.
5. Not Legal Advice
Critical disclaimer: The Company is a software company, not a law firm. It does not practice law, does not provide legal advice, and exercises no legal judgment. No output from the Service — including AI-generated drafts, document analyses, workflow content, or any other material — constitutes legal advice or a final legal document. Every AI output is a draft only until a licensed attorney reviews, verifies, and approves it.
The assigned attorney bears full professional responsibility for all legal work, including any work that incorporates or is informed by the Service. Without limiting the foregoing:
- AI-generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or inapplicable to a given jurisdiction or matter;
- Drafts require attorney review and independent professional judgment and are not final until an attorney approves them;
- The Service does not replace, and is not a substitute for, the judgment of a qualified, licensed attorney; and
- The Company is not responsible for legal outcomes arising from the Firm's or any attorney's use of, or reliance on, the Service.
6. Confidentiality, Privilege, and Data
6.1 Ownership of Firm and Client Data
As between the Company and the Firm, the Firm owns all of its data and all of its Client data entered into or generated through the Service, including matter records, documents, communications, and work product. The Company claims no ownership interest in such data.
6.2 The Company as a Confidential Processor
The Company acts as a confidential data processor for the Firm. In that capacity, the Company:
- Does not use Firm data or Client data to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
- Does not sell, rent, or share Firm data or Client data with any third party;
- Processes Firm data and Client data only as necessary to provide the Service to the Firm or as directed by the Firm;
- Maintains logical segregation of each Firm's data, encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), and access controls designed to protect the confidentiality of the data; and
- Discloses Firm data or Client data only as required by law, and where legally permitted, will provide notice to the Firm before such disclosure so the Firm may seek protection of any applicable privilege.
The Firm and its attorneys remain responsible for preserving the attorney-client privilege and for fulfilling their own confidentiality obligations. Nothing in the Service is intended to waive any privilege belonging to the Firm or its Clients.
6.3 Breach Notification
The Company will notify the Firm without undue delay and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the Company confirms a security breach affecting the Firm's data or Client data, and will cooperate reasonably with the Firm's response and any notification obligations the Firm may have.
6.4 Secure Deletion on Termination
Upon termination or expiration of the subscription, the Firm may export its data during the period made available for that purpose. Following that period, the Company will securely delete the Firm's data and Client data from its systems in the ordinary course, except to the extent retention is required by law. The Company's Privacy Policy describes its data practices in further detail.
7. Compliance and Professional Responsibility
The Firm and its attorneys are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the Service complies with all applicable rules of professional conduct, including the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the corresponding rules of every state bar in which the Firm's attorneys are licensed. In particular:
- Competence (ABA Model Rule 1.1): Attorneys must maintain the legal knowledge, skill, and technological competence required to use the Service appropriately, including understanding the benefits and limitations of AI-assisted tools.
- Confidentiality (ABA Model Rule 1.6): Attorneys must make reasonable efforts to protect information relating to the representation of a Client and must use the Service consistent with their confidentiality obligations.
- Supervision of non-lawyer assistance (ABA Model Rule 5.3): Attorneys must adequately supervise non-attorney staff and AI-assisted outputs, and remain responsible for work that incorporates such assistance.
Attorney review is mandatory, not optional. The Firm must ensure that a licensed, assigned attorney reviews and approves all legal work product before it is delivered to any Client. The mandatory-review workflow in the Service is a compliance feature; the Firm and its attorneys must not circumvent it.
8. Subscription and Payment

Upon termination, the Firm's license to use the Service ceases, and the data-export and secure-deletion provisions of Section 6.4 apply. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Confidentiality and Data, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranties, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution) shall survive.
16. Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of material changes via email or a prominent notice within the Service. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If the Firm does not agree with the updated Terms, it must discontinue use of the Service.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
