These Terms govern your access to and use of Docket Daily (the "Service") operated on behalf of the publisher ("Operator," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Eligibility

I confirm that I am a licensed attorney admitted to practice in one or more U.S. jurisdictions, OR a legal, compliance, privacy, or information-security professional using Docket Daily in a professional capacity. By subscribing to or using Docket Daily, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. Docket Daily reserves the right to terminate any account upon knowledge and determination that the account holder does not meet this eligibility requirement.

Docket Daily provides legal intelligence and research — not legal advice. Non-attorney professionals should have a licensed attorney review any legal determinations or compliance decisions informed by the platform.

1. The Service

Completely Offensively LLC, d/b/a Docket Daily, provides an online interface that aggregates, indexes, and presents information from public sources at the federal, state, and municipal levels related to AI law, data laws, privacy law, and cybersecurity law as well as adjacent legal topics and related news headlines ("Service"). The Service may include summaries, metadata, links, search, filters, digest period views, such as a selected week or year, optional third party news headlines, and editorial or automated review workflows. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You represent that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms of Service. If the Service requires an account, then you agree to provide accurate information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly at the contact below if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

4. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, branding, software, and original content (excluding underlying public-domain or third-party primary materials), is owned by Docket Daily or its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your internal business or personal informational purposes in accordance with these Terms. Government primary sources remain subject to their own terms and public licensing where applicable.

5. Enterprise API & Programmatic Access

Programmatic access to the Service — including via REST API, Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, or any AI assistant, agent, or automated system — is available exclusively under an organizational Enterprise API license and Docket Daily-issued access keys. Keys are licensed per organization, are non-transferable, and are subject to metering, rate limits, and revocation. Content retrieved programmatically remains subject to these Terms, including the license scope set forth in the Intellectual Property section; outputs incorporating Service content must preserve attribution to Docket Daily where technically feasible. Docket Daily may suspend or revoke keys for breach, non-payment, or security risk. No provision of any third-party platform's terms (including any AI platform's connector catalog terms) modifies the license granted under these Terms.

No Training on Retrieved Content.Content retrieved from the Services through the Docket Daily MCP server, API, or any other programmatic interface ("Retrieved Content") may be used solely to respond to the requesting user's query within that user's session. No platform operator, AI model provider, connector host, or other third party may use Retrieved Content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any machine-learning model, or compile Retrieved Content into any dataset or index, without Docket Daily's separate prior written agreement.

6. Third-party sources and links

The Service links to third-party websites and government systems. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

The Service may display headlines and original Docket Daily summaries of permissively licensed news articles (public-domain and Creative Commons BY sources), with attribution and a link to the publisher's page. Docket Daily never republishes third-party article text. That material remains owned by the respective publisher. We display it for convenience and do not claim ownership. It is not legal authority and is not an endorsement by Operator.

7. No legal, professional, or compliance advice

The Service is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Service constitutes legal advice, attorney-client communication, or a substitute for research by qualified counsel. You are solely responsible for compliance with laws and professional obligations applicable to you. We do not warrant that the Service satisfies any regulatory, malpractice, or court filing requirement.

Some descriptions or summaries may be produced or assisted by automated tools. They can be incomplete or wrong. Always read the underlying primary source and confirm any point that matters to you.

8. Disclaimers

DISCLAIMER: Docket Daily aggregates and indexes publicly available legal materials and news articles to provide coverage of AI, data, privacy, and cybersecurity law. A licensed attorney reviews digest entries to confirm which of those four coverage areas (AI law, Data law, Privacy law, and Cybersecurity law) each item belongs under.

Before an entry appears on the subscriber dashboard, it must receive attorney editor approval. Automated tools may assist with drafting and verification; they do not replace human editorial judgment.

NO WARRANTY: the service does not warrant completeness, accuracy, or timeliness and may not reflect every statute, regulation, opinion, or bill.

ALWAYS VERIFY: You must always independently confirm all citations and primary texts before relying on them or presenting them in any court or legal proceeding.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE: This service is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal research or legal advice, nor does it create an attorney‑client relationship.

Docket Daily does not track any particular pending federal or state legislation as it only reports new activity as to any relevant legislation within its scope. Any feature that displays pending or proposed legislation for monitoring purposes (for example, a forward-looking "watch" or "horizon" view) is provided for informational awareness only, is not a representation that the Service tracks, updates, or reports the status of any particular bill, and does not create any obligation to do so.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, OR ACCURATE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS.

9. Compliance Suggestions and Compliance Dashboard

The Service may offer optional features that generate AI-assisted compliance information for a selected legal instrument or jurisdiction, including plain-English summaries, suggested compliance steps, and sample language (such as sample contract provisions, disclosures, and certifications) ("Compliance Outputs"). The following terms supplement, and are in addition to, Sections 7, 8, and 12.

(a) No legal advice; no attorney-client relationship. Compliance Outputs are general information only, are not legal advice, and do not create an attorney-client relationship with Operator. Operator does not practice law.

(b) AI-generated; verify against primary sources. Compliance Outputs are generated by automated language models from a combination of public legal materials tracked by the Service and a curated reference set of foundational laws. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or omit developments or authorities not tracked by the Service, and are not a substitute for independent legal research. You must independently verify all Compliance Outputs, and confirm the current text and status of any cited law against its primary source, before relying on or using them.

(c) Sample language requires counsel review. Sample provisions, disclosures, certifications, and similar language are non-tailored templates that require review and customization by a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction before any use; they must not be used as drafted.

(d) Coverage is not exhaustive; not a citator. Compliance Outputs reflect only the developments and foundational laws in the Service's reference set as of the date shown, are limited to the Service's coverage areas, and do not purport to identify every applicable law, amendment, effective date, or judicial interpretation. The Service is not a citator and does not confirm whether a law remains in force or has been amended, superseded, or interpreted.

(e) Jurisdiction and applicability filtering. Any feature that filters or prioritizes obligations based on a business profile you provide is decision-support only and does not determine which laws actually apply to you or any client; applicability is a legal determination for qualified counsel.

(f) No guarantee of compliance; no safe harbor. Use of these features does not ensure compliance with any law or obligation and creates no safe harbor. You assume all risk arising from your use of or reliance on Compliance Outputs. This feature is subject to the disclaimers in Section 8 and the limitation of liability in Section 12.

10. Workspace Features

The Service may include optional Workspace features for organizations that hold a subscription. The following terms supplement Sections 7, 8, and 12.

(a) Organizations and seats. The subscribing organization binds its users. The organization administrator represents and warrants that every seat-holder meets the Eligibility requirement above. Viewer roles are read-only.

(b) Client Portfolio. You represent that you have authority to store client identifying information in the Service. Client names are encrypted at rest, decrypted only for members of your organization, and are never sent to any model.

(c) Obligation Register and Deadline Calendar. Obligation Register and Deadline Calendar are workflow and decision-support tools. They do not make compliance determinations. The disclaimers in Section 9 apply, including that these features are not legal advice, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and require independent verification by qualified counsel.

(d) Watch Scans. Compiled Watch Scan filters run only against published entries. You review the filter before saving.

(e) Ask. Ask answers questions only from the published corpus, with citations. You must verify every answer against the cited primary sources. Ask history is stored encrypted for thirty (30) days and then deleted.

(f) Document Review. Document Review is issue-spotting against the published corpus only. It is not legal advice and is not document review by counsel. Findings require attorney verification. Uploads and findings are deleted at thirty (30) days or immediately on request.

(g) Redlines. Redlines are attorney-reviewed text diffs of published instruments, with affected obligations identified for decision support. They are not a citator and are not legal advice.

(h) Organization AI switch. An organization administrator may disable all AI features for the organization. When disabled, Ask, Watch Scans compilation, Document Review, and related product AI endpoints refuse the request.

11. Third-Party Hyper-Links

Docket Daily contains hyperlinks to third-party websites. These links are provided solely for reference. Docket Daily has no control over such websites and is not responsible for their content. Inclusion of any hyperlink does not imply endorsement of the material or association with the operators of those sites.

12. Limitation of liability

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Docket Daily disclaims any and all liability for any actions taken in reliance on its content.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OPERATOR OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100), IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Docket Daily and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights.

14. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

15. U.S. state consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have under U.S. federal or state law, including consumer protection or privacy statutes in the state where you reside. If a provision of these Terms of Service is unenforceable under your state's law, then the remainder remains in effect to the maximum extent permitted.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where preempted by U.S. federal law or mandatory consumer protections in your home state. Subject to applicable law and any non-waivable rights to bring claims in your local courts, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you are a consumer, you may also have rights to sue in your state of residence where required by law.

17. Dispute resolution; informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at the email below and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved, either party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with Section 16, unless applicable law requires a different forum.

If you are a resident of a U.S. state that prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses, then that law shall apply as we never impose arbitration on consumers where prohibited by law.

18. Subscription, fees, and taxes

Our paid plans, fees, and billing cycles will be presented at purchase. Taxes may apply. We may change pricing with reasonable notice where required by law. If you cancel your plan, it shall end at the end of your then-current paid billing period and you will have access through the period you have already paid for, and after that, the subscription stops. All fees are non-refundable. We offer no refunds whatsoever.

Free trial eligibility. Free trial offers are limited to one per account. We may decline trials from disposable email addresses. A payment method is not required to start a free trial. You may cancel anytime during the trial. If you do not add a payment method before the trial ends, your subscription cancels automatically and you are not charged. If you add a payment method during or after the trial, we may use a tokenized card fingerprint from our payment processor to determine whether that card previously activated a free trial; in that case your subscription may begin immediately as paid at the applicable plan rate.

Bot and abuse protection. We use Cloudflare Turnstile on signup and related flows to help distinguish legitimate users from automated abuse. Turnstile processing is described in our Privacy Policy (Section 10.1 — Bot protection).

19. Advertising, pre-qualification, and marketing communications

(a) Advertising for a software product. Advertisements for the Service, and the landing pages to which they link, are advertisements for a software subscription. They are not advertisements for legal services, are not a solicitation to form an attorney-client relationship, and do not constitute legal advice. Operator does not practice law.

(b) Self-attestation, not verification. Where a landing page asks you to identify your professional role (for example, technology attorney or in-house counsel), your selection is a self-attestation. We do not independently verify it at that stage. Your selection does not create an account, a subscription, a trial, or any entitlement to access the Service; access remains subject to the Eligibility — Licensed Attorneys ONLY provisions above and to Section 2.

(c) Professional email address required. Where we request a professional email address, we may decline, filter, or delete submissions that use consumer, disposable, or role-anonymous addresses, or that we reasonably believe to be automated. Submitting an address does not obligate us to contact you or to provide access to the Service.

(d) Consent to marketing email. By submitting your email address through a lead-capture form, you consent to receive marketing and promotional email from us concerning the Service. You may withdraw that consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing message or by emailing the address in Section 25. We honor unsubscribe requests promptly and in any event within the period required by applicable law. Transactional and service messages relating to an account you hold are governed separately and are not marketing messages.

(e) Bot and abuse protection. Lead-capture forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, as described in our Privacy Policy.

(f) Privacy. Our handling of information submitted through advertising and lead-capture forms, including advertising measurement and your opt-out rights, is described in our Privacy Policy.

20. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for violation of these Terms of Service or for operational or legal reasons. You may stop using the Service at any time. The intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and governing law provisions survive termination.

21. Export and sanctions

You may not use the Service in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to U.S. embargo or designated as a prohibited party, unless authorized by law.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms of Service by posting an updated version on the Service and updating the effective date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required by law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms of Service.

23. Miscellaneous

24. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Content

Anthropic is the sole AI model provider for the Service, via zero-retention-eligible Messages API endpoints. Zero-data-retention status is requested as of 2026-09-08 and remains pending, as described in our Attorney Confidentiality statement.

Corpus summarization uses only public legal materials — including state, federal, and municipal instrument text, court opinions, titles, and citations. Those requests are not associated with subscriber identities. Compliance-assistance features additionally generate suggested compliance steps and sample legal language from public legal materials and a curated reference set of foundational laws, as described in Section 9. These outputs are informational, are not legal advice, and are subject to the verification and counsel-review requirements in that Section.

Workspace AI.The optional Workspace AI features (Ask, Watch Scans compilation, and Document Review) transmit the text the user submits — the question, scan description, or uploaded document — to Anthropic after automated identifier-scrubbing. These inputs are not used for training, are processed under Anthropic commercial API terms, and are never associated with the user's identity in the request. Zero-data-retention status is requested as of 2026-09-08 and remains pending, as described in our Attorney Confidentiality statement. Do not enter client-confidential or nonpublic information.

Client names stored in Client Portfolio are never transmitted to any model.

Organization administrators may disable all AI features. When disabled, Ask, Watch Scans compilation, Document Review, and related product AI endpoints refuse the request.

Embeddings.Semantic relevance scoring uses OpenAI embedding models, limited to embeddings only: inputs are identifier-scrubbed, are not used for training per OpenAI's API terms, and no generation runs on OpenAI. Ask corpus search (the pgvector index) and ingest relevance scoring apply that embeddings-only path to public instrument and opinion text and to Ask questions after they are submitted.

AI-generated content is labeled as such wherever it appears. While we design our AI systems to produce accurate and useful summaries, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.

All AI-generated summaries on Docket Daily are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. Subscribers are responsible for independently verifying any AI-generated content before relying on it in a professional capacity. Further detail is in our Privacy Policy.
