3. Not a Law Firm — Not Legal Advice
MaxLaw is a technology platform. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal advice, and use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Max. The AI-generated content, suggestions, and analyses provided by the Service are for informational and productivity purposes only. All AI outputs must be reviewed, verified, and supervised by a licensed attorney before being relied upon or used in any legal matter.
4. Confidentiality & Data Protection
We understand that you may input confidential and privileged information into the Service. We commit to the following:
4.1 Data Isolation. All user data is stored in per-user isolated environments. No other user can access your data.
4.2 No Training. We do not use your data — including case information, client details, documents, or AI chat inputs — to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI models.
4.3 Encryption. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest (AES-256).
4.4 No Sale of Data. We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise commercially distribute your data to any third party.
4.5 AI Processing. When you use AI-powered features, your inputs are transmitted to our AI processing infrastructure to generate responses. These inputs are not retained by the AI provider after the response is generated.

5.3 Supervision of AI Output. You must review and verify all AI-generated content before relying on it or presenting it to any court, client, or opposing party. AI outputs may contain inaccuracies, hallucinations, or errors.
5.4 Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
