Juris is a sophisticated legal research and case management platform. Sage, our AI research companion, is designed to accelerate the work of qualified lawyers — surfacing case law, analysing documents, identifying arguments, and structuring research across your matters. Sage is a powerful professional tool. That is what it is built to be.

Like all research tools — legal databases, secondary sources, annotated statutes — the output Sage produces is research. It informs your professional judgment. It does not replace it. Sage has not been called to any bar. Sage cannot give legal advice to your clients, form solicitor-client relationships, or exercise the professional judgment that the law requires of a licensed practitioner.

AI research tools, including Sage, operate on large language models that can produce outputs which are plausible but incorrect — including citations that do not exist or contain errors in the cited proposition, date, court, or outcome. This is a known characteristic of current AI technology. Juris addresses this through its built-in citation verification and verified output workflow: every piece of AI-generated research can be traced, checked, and formally adopted before it is used professionally. That workflow is a feature of Juris — it reflects how competent legal professionals use research tools, including this one.

Your professional obligations under your law society's rules of conduct — including your duty of competence and your duty to supervise — apply to all of your work, including work that incorporates AI-generated research. Juris does not modify, limit, or supersede those obligations. We have built the verification workflow specifically so that meeting those obligations within Juris is straightforward, documented, and auditable.

You are responsible for ensuring that any document filed with a court, tribunal, or regulatory body — and any advice given to a client — meets the standards required of you as a professional. We are not responsible for professional sanctions, adverse costs awards, discipline proceedings, or other consequences arising from the use of Juris outputs in your practice.

When you use Juris to conduct research and choose to incorporate that research into your professional work — a filing, an opinion, a submission, client advice — you adopt that work product as your own. This is not unique to AI-generated research. It is how professional tools work: the lawyer exercises judgment, applies their expertise, and takes responsibility for the work that leaves their hands.

The Juris verification workflow is your record that you reviewed AI-generated research, traced its sources, and made a professional determination to rely on it. That record belongs to you. It demonstrates diligence. Completing it does not transfer responsibility to us — it documents yours.

You agree that you will not present AI-generated research output in any professional context — to a client, to a court, to a regulator, or in any document you file or sign — without having applied your own independent professional judgment to it. Juris is here to make that process faster, more thorough, and better documented. The professional judgment remains yours.

You retain full ownership of all data, documents, case files, notes, and other content you upload to Juris ("Your Content"). You grant Kwata Team Inc. a limited, non-exclusive licence to process, store, and transmit Your Content solely as necessary to provide the Juris service.

We do not claim any ownership over Your Content. We will not use Your Content to train AI models. Your Content will not be shared with other firms or users. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle documents and AI processing.

You represent that you have the right to upload all content you submit to Juris and that doing so does not violate any professional obligation, court order, solicitor-client privilege, or third-party right.

The Juris platform, including its software, design, trademarks, AI tools, and documentation, is owned by Kwata Team Inc. and is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property law.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Juris during your subscription period for your internal law firm purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or sublicence any part of the platform.

You acknowledge that client information and case materials uploaded to Juris may be subject to solicitor-client privilege, professional confidentiality obligations, and applicable privacy law. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Juris complies with your professional obligations under your law society's rules of professional conduct.

We recommend reviewing the Juris Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, advising clients that their documents may be processed by EU-based servers and, when AI features are used, by Anthropic's API subject to Anthropic's data processing terms.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kwata Team Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of Juris; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law, professional conduct rule, or third-party right; or (e) any claim by a client, opposing party, court, or regulator arising from AI-generated content that you relied on or filed.

Juris is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of security vulnerabilities.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content, including Sage's research outputs and citation verification results. Legal information retrieved from external sources (including CanLII) may be out of date, incomplete, or inapplicable to your specific circumstances.

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. You may terminate by cancelling your subscription and ceasing use of the platform. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately, without notice, for: (a) material breach of these Terms; (b) non-payment; (c) conduct that endangers our systems or other users; or (d) any use of the platform for illegal purposes.

Upon termination, your right to access the platform ends. We will retain your data for 90 days following termination to allow for data export requests. After 90 days, data will be deleted (except as required by applicable law or our retention obligations).

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

You agree that any dispute arising from these Terms will be resolved in the courts of Alberta, Canada, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute by providing written notice to hello@kwatateam.com and allowing us 30 days to respond.
