1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Casetimator™ (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and LawSHIFT, Inc. ("LawShift," "we," "us"), the company that operates Casetimator.
2. About the service
Casetimator is an AI-powered tool that provides estimated dollar ranges for personal injury cases based on the information you provide and a dataset of historical jury verdicts and settlements. Casetimator is a product of LawSHIFT, Inc.
Casetimator is not a law firm. Using Casetimator does not create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing on the Service constitutes legal advice. For advice about your specific situation, consult a qualified personal injury attorney licensed in your state.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.
Casetimator is currently in beta and supports a limited set of states. If your state isn't yet supported, you may receive a notice that we don't yet have sufficient data to generate a Casetimate.
4. The Casetimate
Your "Casetimate" is a statistical range generated from the information you provide and a dataset of comparable historical cases. It is provided "as is" for informational purposes only.
The Casetimate is not a guarantee of any specific case outcome. Real personal injury cases vary based on many factors that a 3-minute conversation cannot fully capture, including but not limited to: liability disputes, insurance policy limits, witness credibility, jurisdiction-specific procedures, and negotiation dynamics.
The Casetimate is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney who has reviewed your specific situation. See our Disclaimer for further detail.
5. Use of the service
You agree to:
- Provide accurate information about your case
- Use the Service only for lawful, personal purposes related to your own potential personal injury claim
- Not provide false or misleading information to manipulate your Casetimate
- Not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Service
- Not use the Service to provide legal advice to others
- Not use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access or interact with the Service
- Not resell or commercialize Casetimates without our written permission
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe you've violated these Terms.
6. Account & communications
If you provide an email address, you consent to receive your Casetimate and the take-with-you guide by email. You can opt out of any future communications at any time by emailing hello@casetimator.com or using the unsubscribe link in any email.
We do not currently require you to create an account to use the core Service.
7. Intellectual property
The Service — including the Casetimator and LawSHIFT names and marks, the software, the underlying model, content, design, and the Casetimate output format — is owned by LawSHIFT, Inc. and protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.
You retain ownership of the personal information you provide to the Service. By submitting it, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process it for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy and to improve the model.
We do not claim ownership of your case, your facts, or your legal rights.
8. Connecting with attorneys
If you opt to be connected with a personal injury attorney through the Service, you understand that:
- Casetimator and LawSHIFT, Inc. are not attorneys and do not provide legal services
- Any attorney-client relationship is between you and that attorney, not us
- The connection is informational only — you are not obligated to retain any attorney we suggest
- The attorney's fees, terms, and engagement letter are between you and the attorney
- We are not responsible for the quality of legal services any connected attorney provides
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CASETIMATE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR APPLICABLE TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION. THE SERVICE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED ATTORNEY.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWSHIFT, INC., ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR LEGAL CLAIMS.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent your jurisdiction does not allow the limitations above, the limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LawSHIFT, Inc. and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any applicable law, or your violation of any third-party rights.
12. Statute of limitations notice
Important: Personal injury claims are subject to statutes of limitations that vary by state. The Service is not a substitute for timely action. Failure to act within applicable deadlines may permanently bar your claim. You are responsible for understanding and acting within the deadlines applicable to your case. Consult a qualified attorney about your specific deadlines.
13. Modifications to terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the Service or by email if you have provided one. The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms reflects the most recent revisions.
Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration provision below.
15. Dispute resolution
Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve any dispute informally by emailing legal@casetimator.com. We'll do the same. If we cannot resolve a dispute within 60 days, either party may proceed to arbitration.
Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.
Small claims exception. Either party may bring claims that qualify in small claims court instead of arbitration.
Class action waiver. You waive the right to participate in any class action or class arbitration against LawSHIFT, Inc. arising from the Service. Any arbitration must be conducted on an individual basis.
16. Beta status
Casetimator is currently in beta. The Service, the model, and the data informing the Casetimate are subject to ongoing refinement. Features may change. The Service may be unavailable from time to time. Casetimates produced today may differ from Casetimates the same Service produces tomorrow as the model improves.
By using the beta Service, you accept these limitations.
