CONSULTING EVEREST LLC, a company incorporated in the State of New Mexico (United States), Business ID 7479255, with its address at 8206 Louisiana Blvd NE, Ste A #2970, Albuquerque, NM 87113, grants you a licence to use JUDLEX, a desktop application for the document management of legal case files.

What is bought is a right of use, not ownership of the program. The licence is personal and non-transferable, and does not allow you to assign, sublicense, rent or make the program available to third parties.

JUDLEX sorts, splits, numbers and foliates the documents in a case file, extracts facts, dates and parties from them with the citation of the document, page and folio they came from, and prepares reports and deliverables from that material.

What the application does not do, and this is not a temporary limitation:

• It does not give legal advice, nor does it replace the professional's judgement.
• It does not draft substantive pleadings —claims, appeals, defences, criminal complaints, reports of offences, allegations, closing submissions, challenges or oppositions. With the «Correspondence and filings» extension it prepares drafts of procedural filings —acknowledgement of receipt, submission of documents, request for a copy of the case file, entry of appearance, prior demand and correspondence—, which the professional reviews before sending them; in the Personal section, personal paperwork such as a claim, a complaint or a request.
• It does not calculate deadlines on its own. It shows the dates that appear in the documents for the professional to confirm, and its computation sheet —with the «Correspondence and filings» extension, and in the Personal section without it— does the count in front of the professional, with the data the professional enters and the days that did not count in view; the result is signed by the professional.
• It does not judge the likely outcome of a matter, nor recommend strategy.
• It does not score documents by importance or urgency.

Everything the artificial intelligence proposes is presented as a proposal and requires confirmation by a person, with one exception: in the Personal section the artificial intelligence sorts the papers on its own —it creates matters and folders, places each paper and accepts amounts whose citation checks out—, always marked as its own and reversible with one click; there, control means reviewing and correcting. The user is solely responsible for reviewing the material before using it professionally, and for the decisions taken on the basis of it.

An account at judlex.com is required in order to subscribe and activate a machine; the program can be downloaded without one. The application opens without signing in: the account is only required for what needs a server.

The licence authorises a number of activated seats, not a number of lawyers. A seat occupies one machine; it can be released and activated on another. If an attempt is made to activate a machine with no free seats, the system asks for confirmation before displacing another and never silently displaces someone who is working. Reasonable limits apply to the number of reassignments, to prevent abuse.

Price: the one shown for each tier on the judlex.com pricing page and displayed, as calculated by our server, before payment. Prices are shown excluding taxes, which are added under the applicable rules.

Billing period: at the customer's choice, monthly or annual. The annual plan carries a discount, which is shown on the pricing page.

The licence does NOT include artificial-intelligence usage. The price covers use of the program and nothing else. Artificial intelligence is used in one of two ways: with the key of a provider the customer hires, or with JUDLEX AI, which is paid with credits.

With your own key: the customer hires on their own account the service of an AI provider —Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek or MiniMax— and configures its key in the application. That provider invoices the customer directly, at its own rates and under its own terms; JUDLEX takes no part in that contract, receives nothing for it, and is not answerable for its prices or availability.

Before using artificial intelligence, the application says how much it is going to send —documents and pages— and, afterwards, shows what was spent, calculated with each provider's public rates, in a local record, for information only. That figure is neither an invoice nor a price commitment: the amount is determined by the provider.

With JUDLEX AI: an optional service, switched off by default, that JUDLEX provides with Anthropic's models and that is paid with credits. Each request uses the credits that match the usage reported by the provider, and what has been spent is shown in the application, in credits.

• Free credits: every calendar month each licence gets 500 credits per contracted seat. They do not carry over from one month to the next and are spent before purchased ones. On a gifted licence, only if this is stated when the gift is made.
• Purchased credits: in packs, at the price the application shows before paying. They do not expire with the month and, except as required by law, are not refundable.
• Whose they are: the balance belongs to the licence and is shared by all its seats. Only the licence holder can buy.
• With no balance no new request starts: the work in progress stops and can be resumed after topping up.

Payment is by card subscription through Stripe. Card details are entered directly into Stripe and are not processed by us.

The subscription renews automatically for equal periods unless cancelled. Cancellation may be requested at any time from the account and takes effect at the end of the period already paid for: the service continues until that date.

If a charge is declined, the service continues while the issuing bank retries the charge over the usual grace period; if it is ultimately not completed, the licence moves to the situation set out in clause 6.

Changes to what is contracted: may be requested at any time, and only the licence holder can make them (in an organisation, its owner). What is added —more seats or an extension— is charged at that moment: the part remaining until renewal, with the applicable taxes and in the currency of the subscription, and the amount is shown before confirming. If the payment is not completed, nothing is added. If the amount at that moment is below the minimum that can be charged to a card, the change starts at renewal and is charged in full then. What is reduced —fewer seats or cancelling an extension— gives no right to a refund: it remains until the end of the paid period and stops being charged at renewal. Seats cannot be reduced below the number of machines currently activated: machines must be released first.

The firm's work is not held hostage. When the licence expires or is cancelled, the application moves to read mode:

• Still available: opening the application, consulting every case file, searching, correcting data, deleting and exporting everything.
• Stopped: creating new clients, case files, parties and facts; adding and processing documents; and the artificial-intelligence functions, including when your own key is used.
• Not stopped: downloading the program or installing its updates. Continuing to receive fixes and security patches does not depend on holding a licence in force.

The data remains on the customer's machine, in their vault, in open formats —PDF and the exported deliverables.

Program updates are free of charge and do not depend on the licence: they are downloaded and installed even with an expired or cancelled licence, so that no copy is left without fixes or security patches. What does require a licence in force is support through the published channels. Indefinite compatibility is not guaranteed with operating-system versions that no longer receive support from their manufacturer.

The functions that need a server —subscribing, activation and downloads— depend on the availability of our systems and of third-party providers. Local work does not depend on that availability: the application works offline for the periods stated in clause 3.

We are not answerable for interruptions, rate changes or policy changes of third-party AI providers, nor for the quality of their output. The customer may at any time use their own key with whichever of the offered providers they prefer. JUDLEX AI depends on the availability of Anthropic and of our servers, and we may suspend it temporarily for technical or security reasons; purchased credits are kept.

• To use the application in accordance with the law and their duty of professional secrecy.
• To review the material the application proposes before using it.
• To safeguard their credentials and the provider keys they configure.
• To back up their vault. The application works locally: backup is the firm's responsibility.
• Not to decompile, alter or circumvent the licensing mechanisms.

We are answerable for direct damage caused by our breach, up to the amount paid by the customer in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Excluded are loss of profit, loss of opportunity, and damage arising from professional decisions taken without the review the application itself requires.

No clause of these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, nor liability arising from wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

JUDLEX is marketed for use in a professional activity. Where the customer contracts in that capacity they are not a consumer and the right of withdrawal provided for consumer purchases does not apply. Should they contract outside a professional activity, they will be informed of the right of withdrawal and how to exercise it under the applicable rules.

The processing of the customer's data is governed by the Privacy policy.

With their own key, JUDLEX does not process the data in the customer's case files. The program runs on the customer's machine and artificial-intelligence requests go straight from that machine to the provider the customer has hired. The customer is the controller of that data and their AI provider is their processor, on the terms of the contract between them.

When the customer switches JUDLEX AI on, JUDLEX processes on their behalf the personal data contained in the requests and acts as processor (Article 28 GDPR). By switching it on, the customer accepts this processing on these terms:

• Subject matter and duration: forwarding the application's requests to Anthropic and returning its answers, while JUDLEX AI is switched on and the licence is in force.
• Data and data subjects: whatever the customer includes in the requests: data of their clients, of the parties and of third parties appearing in the case files, of any category the documents contain, including health data, data about minors and data relating to criminal offences.
• The customer decides what is sent, is responsible for having a legal basis for its processing and may give instructions and ask for information about the processing.
• Instructions: JUDLEX processes the data only to provide the service, according to what the customer asks from the application, and uses it for nothing else. If an instruction seems to infringe the GDPR, it will tell the customer.
• No retention: the content of requests and answers is not stored on our servers. Only the licence, the computer, the model, the tokens, the credits and the time are recorded for each call.
• Confidentiality and security: the people authorised by JUDLEX are bound by confidentiality. The measures include encrypted communications, no storage of the content, short-lived credentials per computer, logs without content and restricted access to the servers. The full description is available on request.
• Subprocessors: the customer authorises Anthropic and the subprocessors Anthropic lists in its trust centre. JUDLEX will notify the licence holder by email of any change at least 15 days in advance, and the customer may object by no longer using JUDLEX AI.
• Transfers: Anthropic is in the United States. The transfer relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses incorporated into its data processing addendum.
• Assistance and security breaches: JUDLEX will help the customer, insofar as this service is concerned, to meet data subjects' rights, to comply with their security obligations and, where needed, to carry out an impact assessment or consult the supervisory authority. It will notify them without undue delay, and no later than 48 hours after becoming aware of it, of any security breach that affects them.
• On termination: there is no content to return or delete, because none is kept. The call log is kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require.
• Information and audits: JUDLEX will make available to the customer the information needed to demonstrate compliance with this processing, on request at support@judlex.com. The customer may request an audit with reasonable notice and without disrupting the service.

We may change these terms and the price for future periods, giving reasonable notice and, in any event, before renewal. If the customer does not accept the change, they may cancel before it takes effect, without penalty.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, where CONSULTING EVEREST LLC is incorporated, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection provisions applicable in the customer's country of residence. Any dispute shall be submitted to the courts having jurisdiction under the applicable law.
