Terms of Service

1. What Gavel is (and isn't)

Gavel is a self-serve study platform for law students. Gavel provides practice questions, writing exercises, automated feedback, and study tools built from material you supply. Gavel is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on the platform creates an attorney–client relationship.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and be at least 18 years old. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service, attempt to extract the question bank, or violate these terms.

3. Purchases, credits, and refunds

One-time purchases are payments processed by Stripe; grading credits are consumed when written answers are graded. If a payment is refunded, associated access is revoked and unused granted credits are removed. Purchases unlock access for the purchasing account only.

4. AI-generated content and feedback

Practice content and written-answer feedback are generated with AI assistance and carry review-status labels. They can be wrong. Do not rely on Gavel content as a statement of current law. Verify against your course materials and official sources. Scores on Gavel are practice signals, not predictions of exam results.

5. Your content

Notes, answers, and other material you submit remain yours. You grant Gavel the limited license needed to operate the service (store your content, run it through grading or generation you request, display it back to you). We do not share your submitted content with other users, use it to build the shared question bank, or sell it.

6. Acceptable use

Don't scrape, resell, or bulk-export the question bank; don't upload content that infringes others' rights (including casebook excerpts or other providers' materials); don't probe or disrupt the service.

7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gavel's total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

8. Changes and termination

We may update these terms; material changes will be posted here with a new date. You may stop using the service at any time; deleting your account removes your personal data per the Privacy Policy.
