Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and KinlyLaw (“KinlyLaw,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the KinlyLaw website at www.kinlylaw.com and all related software, tools, and content (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or the jurisdiction in which you reside.

Some features of the Service are restricted to particular states or to particular categories of users. For example, certain state-specific content is currently available only to users assigned the “full” access tier. We may change which states and features are available, and to whom, at any time.

4. Account Registration

To use most of the Service you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete registration information, to keep that information current, and to keep your password confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including any actions taken by people you allow to use it.

Notify us immediately at support@kinlylaw.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

You may not (a) create more than one personal account, (b) share an account with another person except through a properly licensed seat on a Firm plan, or (c) transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written consent.

5. Subscription Plans, Pricing, and Billing

5.1 Plans

The Service is offered under a free tier and several paid options (currently Solo, Firm, and Per-Use), each with the features and limits described on our pricing page. Plan terms and prices are subject to change as described in Section 5.4. The “Full” access tier is administratively assigned and is not commercially available for direct purchase.

5.2 Billing and auto-renewal

Paid subscriptions are processed through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method the applicable subscription fee on the billing cycle you select (typically monthly), plus any applicable taxes. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until you cancel.

Per-use purchases are charged at the time of purchase and are non-recurring.

5.3 No refunds

All fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused quota, downgrades, mid-cycle cancellations, or any other reason, except where required by applicable law. If you cancel a paid subscription, your account will remain on the paid plan through the end of the current billing period and will then revert to the free tier. We will not charge you again after cancellation, but we will not refund the amount you have already paid for the current period.

5.4 Price changes

We may change the prices, plan tiers, features, or quotas of the Service at any time. For changes to recurring subscription prices, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or through the Service before the change takes effect for your subscription. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.

5.5 Cancellation

You may cancel a paid subscription at any time from your account settings or by emailing support@kinlylaw.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

5.6 Failed payments

If a payment fails and we cannot collect the amount due after reasonable retries, we may downgrade your account to the free tier or suspend access to paid features until payment is successfully processed.

5.7 Taxes

Prices displayed on the Service do not include taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes that apply to your purchase, except for taxes based on our net income.

6. Your Content

“User Content” means everything you submit to or create using the Service, including the case data, draft documents, profile information, and feedback you enter. You retain ownership of your User Content.

You grant KinlyLaw a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and otherwise process your User Content solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service for you. This license ends when you delete the relevant User Content or close your account, except for copies retained as permitted by our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that (a) you have all rights necessary to submit your User Content to the Service, including any rights needed to include information about other people (such as a co-parent or witness), and (b) your User Content does not violate any law or any third party's rights.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of your User Content. We do not review or verify User Content and do not guarantee that any document generated using your User Content will be accepted by any court.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to facilitate any unlawful conduct.
• Use the Service to harass, defame, threaten, or impersonate any person, or to submit information you know to be false in a court filing.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our underlying systems; probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except as part of a coordinated security disclosure with us.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this prohibition.
• Use the Service to provide unauthorized practice of law or to assist another person in doing so.
• Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to extract data from the Service in bulk; bypass plan quotas, rate limits, or pricing tiers; or use the Service in any way that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any of its content other than as expressly permitted by your plan.
• Upload viruses, malware, or any code that interferes with the proper operation of the Service.

We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including warning you, suspending or terminating your account, and cooperating with law enforcement.

8. Intellectual Property

Except for your User Content, the Service and all of its content, features, design, code, trademarks, logos, and underlying technology are owned by KinlyLaw or our licensors and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms, solely for your own personal or internal business use.

Court forms produced by government agencies and statutes, rules, or court opinions reproduced within the Service are public documents and are not subject to any KinlyLaw copyright claim. Our presentation, organization, and any commentary about those public materials remain our property.

The KinlyLaw name, logo, and related marks are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service relies on certain third-party providers (including Stripe, Resend, Sentry, Vercel, Railway, and Cloudflare, as described in our Privacy Policy) and may include links to government websites, court resources, and other third-party content. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party service or website. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that provider's own terms and policies.

10. Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Service, with or without notice, if (a) you violate these Terms, (b) we are required to do so by law, (c) we discontinue the Service or any portion of it, or (d) we reasonably believe your use of the Service poses a security or legal risk.

Upon termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. Your User Content will be handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, KinlyLaw disclaims all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
• Any document, form, template, search result, AI-generated summary, or other output of the Service is accurate, current, complete, or appropriate for any particular case or jurisdiction.
• Any document produced by the Service will be accepted by any court, agency, or other party.
• The Service complies with the law or court rules of every state or county in which it may be used.

You assume full responsibility for the use you make of the Service and for any decisions or filings you base on its outputs.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, KinlyLaw and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or substitute services, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Service, regardless of the legal theory and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limiting the foregoing, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to KinlyLaw in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KinlyLaw and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your User Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or any third party's rights.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any lawsuit arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be the state and federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.

Before filing any lawsuit, you agree to first contact us at support@kinlylaw.com with a description of your concern and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. If we make material changes, we will give you reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days for changes that materially reduce your rights or increase your obligations) by email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service before they take effect.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and KinlyLaw regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, labor disturbances, internet or utility outages, and acts of third-party service providers.
