Terms of Service

CoAdvocate Terms of Service

Effective Date: 5/29/2026 Last Updated: 5/29/2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They contain important limitations on our liability (Section 12), a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver (Section 14), and a clear statement that CoAdvocate does not provide legal advice (Section 4). By using the Service, you agree to all of them.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Coadvocate.ai LLC, d/b/a CoAdvocate ("CoAdvocate," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the CoAdvocate website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

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

1. Eligibility

To use the Service, you represent and warrant that you:

  • Are at least 18 years of age and an adult under the laws of your jurisdiction;
  • Have the full legal capacity and authority to enter into this agreement;
  • Are not barred from using the Service under any applicable law, court order, or regulation; and
  • Will provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering and keep it updated.

The Service is intended for use by adult co-parents and is not directed to children. See our Privacy Policy regarding information about minors.

2. Description of the Service

CoAdvocate is a software tool that uses artificial intelligence ("AI") to help co-parents draft, organize, review, and exchange communications, and to surface or summarize information you provide (such as text you enter or documents like a parenting plan you upload). The Service may include features such as message drafting assistance, tone or conflict analysis, communication logging, document reference, and optional access for third parties you authorize.

The Service is a communication and organization tool only. It is not a law firm, a mediator, a counselor, a custody evaluator, or a substitute for any licensed professional.

3. Beta Service; Assumption of Risk

You understand and agree that:

  • The Service is provided on an early-access, evaluation, or "beta" basis. It is under active development and may be incomplete, may contain bugs or errors, may change or be discontinued at any time, and may not operate reliably or continuously.
  • Features may be added, modified, or removed without notice, and data may be lost.
  • You use the Service voluntarily and at your own risk. You accept full responsibility for any decisions you make and any communications you send, whether or not assisted by the Service.
  • You should independently verify any output before relying on it, and you should maintain your own records of important communications.

4. NOT LEGAL ADVICE; No Attorney-Client Relationship

This is the most important section. Read it.

  • CoAdvocate does not provide legal advice, legal services, or legal representation of any kind. The Service is not a substitute for the advice of a licensed attorney.
  • Nothing the Service produces — including any message it drafts, any analysis it offers, any summary of a document, any reference to or interpretation of a parenting plan, custody order, statute, or court document, and any other output — constitutes legal advice or a legal opinion, even when it appears to identify, locate, quote, summarize, or interpret legal documents or your parenting plan.
  • Using the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship, a fiduciary relationship, or any professional relationship between you and CoAdvocate or anyone associated with it.
  • The Service does not know the facts of your situation, the law of your jurisdiction, or the contents and current validity of any court order applicable to you. Laws and orders vary and change.
  • You should consult a qualified, licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before taking any action that has, or may have, legal consequences. Do not delay seeking, or disregard, professional legal advice because of anything you read or generate on the Service.
  • The Service is also not a substitute for professional mental-health, medical, financial, or counseling advice.

5. AI-Generated Content; No Reliance

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Service relies on AI and automated systems that are inherently imperfect. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, misleading, offensive, or simply wrong, including when the Service references or interprets your parenting plan or other documents.
  • AI systems can "hallucinate" — that is, generate confident-sounding statements, citations, quotations, or facts that are false or do not exist.
  • Outputs are generated probabilistically and are not reviewed by a human, an attorney, or any professional before you receive them.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to use, send, or act on any output. You should treat all output as a first draft to be independently verified, not as a final or authoritative answer.
  • The Service may not be suitable for your needs and may not perform as you expect. You accept this risk as a condition of use.

6. Your Account

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at security@coadvocate.ai of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your account.

7. Your Content

  • Ownership. You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Service, including messages, documents, and uploads ("User Content").
  • License to us. You grant CoAdvocate a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works from your User Content solely to operate, provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service (including by transmitting it to the AI and infrastructure providers described in our Privacy Policy).
  • Your responsibility for third parties. Your communications and uploads may reference other people, including your co-parent, your children, and others. You represent and warrant that you have the right to submit that content and that doing so does not violate any law, court order (including any communication restriction, protective order, or no-contact order), or the rights of any third party. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all orders and laws that apply to you.
  • No obligation to monitor; no backup guarantee. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or store User Content, and we do not guarantee retention, backup, or recoverability of any content.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any law, regulation, or court order, or to harass, threaten, stalk, abuse, defame, or harm any person;
  • Circumvent any court-ordered communication restriction or contact prohibition;
  • Submit content you have no right to submit, or that infringes others' rights;
  • Upload malware or attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, scrape, or gain unauthorized access to the Service;
  • Use the Service to provide legal services to others or to resell or repackage the Service; or
  • Misrepresent your identity or impersonate another person.

We may suspend or terminate access for any actual or suspected violation, at our sole discretion.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example, cloud hosting, email delivery, payment processing, entitlement management, and AI model providers). Your use may be subject to those providers' terms, and we are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, or policies. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only.

10. Payments and Subscriptions

Some features may require payment. If you purchase a paid plan, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge the applicable fees and any taxes. Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable. We may change pricing prospectively with notice. Subscription terms, billing cycles, and cancellation methods will be presented at the point of purchase and are incorporated into these Terms.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, text, and trademarks (other than User Content), is owned by CoAdvocate or its licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CoAdvocate and its owners, members, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers ("CoAdvocate Parties") disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage.

We do not warrant that the Service will be accurate, reliable, complete, secure, uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, or that any output will be correct or suitable for your situation. No advice or information obtained from the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated here. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • The CoAdvocate Parties will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • This expressly includes any damages arising from: your reliance on any output; any inaccurate, incomplete, or "hallucinated" output; any communication you sent or did not send; any outcome in any legal, custody, or family-law matter; any action or decision you took or failed to take; service interruptions; or loss of data.
  • The CoAdvocate Parties' total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

You acknowledge that these limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain and that we would not provide the Service without them. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

  • Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at legal@coadvocate.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
  • Binding arbitration. Except as stated below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by a recognized arbitration provider [e.g., the American Arbitration Association] under its applicable consumer rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
  • Class action waiver. All disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You and CoAdvocate waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class proceeding.
  • Jury trial waiver. You and CoAdvocate waive any right to a jury trial.
  • Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized access.
  • Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@coadvocate.ai with your name and account email and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CoAdvocate Parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms, any law, or any court order; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights.

16. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice, including if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, and 15) will survive.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date or by email). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 14, the state and federal courts located in Latah, Idaho will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration, and you consent to that venue.

19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and CoAdvocate regarding the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
