The Ground Rules

Terms of Service,
Without the BS

This governs our relationship. Basically: play nice, use common sense, and remember we're software—not your lawyer.

⚖️

We're Not Your Lawyer

SignSafe is smart, but it doesn't have a law degree, malpractice insurance, or a fancy mahogany desk. Use us to get informed, then talk to a human attorney for the real advice.

🚫

Don't Be a Jerk

No hacking. No reverse engineering. No uploading illegal stuff. No trying to break the AI. No doing crimes. You'd think this goes without saying, but here we are.

🎯

We Catch Most Things

Our AI finds the vast majority of contract issues—but we're not omniscient. If you sign something bad because we missed it (or you ignored our warnings), that's on you.

WHAT WE PROMISE YOU:
No Forced Arbitration
Class Actions OK
Cancel Anytime
14-Day Refund
Fair Liability Cap

Yes, we used SignSafe to analyze our own terms. We scored pretty well. Scroll down for the lawyer-approved version.

1. Acceptance of Terms

When you use SignSafe—our app, website, or web tool—you're agreeing to follow these rules. If you don't agree, please don't use SignSafe.

This is a real agreement between you and SignSafe, Inc. (that's us!). You need to be at least 18 years old to use SignSafe.

2. What SignSafe Does

SignSafe is an AI tool that helps you understand contracts. Here's what it can do:

Think of SignSafe as your smart friend who reads contracts really fast. We help you learn, but we're not lawyers.

HEADS UP: SignSafe is NOT a law firm. We don't give legal advice. Everything we tell you is for learning purposes only.

Here's what you need to understand:

Use SignSafe to get started and spot potential problems. But for big decisions, always check with a real attorney.

4. Your Account

4.1 Making an Account

You can try some features without signing up. But to unlock everything, you'll need an account. When you create one:

4.2 Keeping Your Account Safe

Your password is like your house key—don't give it to strangers! If you think someone broke into your account, tell us right away at support@sign-safe.app.

5. The Rules (Don't Be a Jerk)

Use SignSafe the right way. Here's what you CAN'T do:

6. Paying for SignSafe

6.1 Try It Free First

Everyone gets 3 free scans to start. These are full-featured scans—no tricks. After you use them up, you can buy more or go Pro.

6.2 Ways to Pay

We keep it simple:

6.3 How Billing Works

We charge you when you sign up. After that:

6.4 How to Cancel

Want to stop? No problem:

6.5 Getting Your Money Back

14 days, no questions asked. Changed your mind? We'll refund you completely within the first 14 days. After that, we'll give you back the unused portion of your subscription. We want happy customers, not trapped ones.

6.6 If Prices Change

We might change prices in the future. But don't worry—if you're already subscribed, your price stays the same until your next renewal. We'll always let you know before any change affects you.

7. Who Owns What

7.1 Our Stuff

SignSafe—the app, website, AI, and everything we built—belongs to us. It's protected by law. You can use it, but you can't copy it, sell it, or pretend you made it.

7.2 Our Secret Sauce

IMPORTANT: How our AI analyzes contracts is a trade secret. That includes the logic we use, our scoring systems, and our methods for finding risky clauses.

Please don't try to:

If someone tries to steal our tech, we can take legal action. We worked hard on this!

7.3 Your Documents

Your contracts stay yours. When you upload a document:

7.4 Your Reports

The analysis reports we create for you? You can:

But you can't:

7.5 Your Ideas

Got a suggestion to make SignSafe better? Awesome! If you share ideas with us, we might use them to improve the product. You won't get paid for suggestions, but you'll get a better SignSafe. Deal?

8. No Guarantees (The Honest Truth)

REAL TALK: We give you SignSafe "as is." We try our best, but we can't promise perfection.

Here's what we can't promise:

Bottom line: SignSafe is a helpful tool, not a replacement for reading carefully and talking to a real lawyer when it matters.

9. If Something Goes Wrong

If something goes wrong because of SignSafe, here's what we're responsible for:

9.1 What We'll Pay

We'll pay you back up to whichever is more:

This is a fair deal. Many companies cap their liability at $0. We think that's wrong.

9.2 When There's No Limit

The cap above doesn't apply if:

9.3 Things We Can't Cover

We can't pay for:

This isn't us being mean — it's just how it works. We're a tool to help you, but the final choices are yours.

10. If You Cause a Problem

If something you do gets us in legal trouble, you agree to cover the costs. That means if someone sues us because of something you did, you'd pay for our legal fees and any damages.

When this applies:

Think of it this way: we're the tool, you're the one using it. If you misuse it, that's on you — not us.

11. Saying Goodbye

11.1 If You Want to Leave

No hard feelings! You can:

11.2 If We Have to End Things

We hope this never happens, but we might need to suspend or close your account if:

We'll try to warn you first if we can, but serious violations might mean instant suspension.

11.3 What Happens When It's Over

Once you're gone:

11.4 What Happens to Your Data

When you delete your account, here's the timeline:

Good news: Your actual documents? We never stored them in the first place. They're already gone.

12. If We Disagree (Let's Hope Not)

12.1 Which Laws Apply

These rules follow Delaware law. Why Delaware? That's where most companies are based. It's pretty standard.

12.2 Let's Talk First

Before going to court, let's try to work it out:

12.3 Your Day in Court (Yes, Really)

WE DON'T DO FORCED ARBITRATION. Most tech companies make you give up your right to sue them. We don't. If we can't work it out, you can take us to real court with a real jury.

We believe in fair access to justice. That means real courts, not private arbitrators who favor companies.

12.4 Where You Can Sue Us

You pick the location:

We won't make you fly across the country to fight us. That would be unfair.

12.5 Class Actions? Go For It

CLASS ACTIONS ALLOWED. If we hurt a lot of people, those people can band together and sue us as a group. We don't hide behind "no class action" clauses like other companies.

Why? Because if we screw up badly, we should be held accountable. Forcing everyone to sue individually is a trick to avoid responsibility. We don't do that.

12.6 Jury Trial? You Got It

Both of us—you and SignSafe—keep the right to a jury trial. We don't make you give up this basic right.

12.7 If You Win, We Pay Your Lawyers

If you sue us and win, we'll pay your attorney's fees. If we sue you and you win, we'll pay your attorney's fees. Fair is fair.

13. California Residents: Extra Rights

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY LAW (CCPA 2026): California has some of the strongest privacy laws in the country. We follow all of them.

If you live in California, here are your rights:

What You Can Do

No Tricks or Dark Patterns

California law bans "dark patterns"—sneaky design that tricks you into giving up privacy. We promise:

About Our AI

Our AI reads contracts and gives you information. It does NOT:

It's just information. But if you want a human to look at any analysis, just ask us!

Your Browser Can Speak For You

If your browser sends a "Global Privacy Control" signal, we'll automatically honor it. You don't have to do anything extra.

How to Use These Rights

Want all the details? Check our Privacy Policy - California section.

14. If We Update These Rules

Sometimes we need to update these terms. When we do, we'll:

If you keep using SignSafe after we update the terms, that means you agree to the new rules. Don't like them? You can always leave.

15. Talk to Us

Questions about these terms? We're happy to explain!

Seriously, ask us anything. We wrote these terms in plain English because we actually want you to understand them.

16. The Boring (But Important) Legal Stuff

16.1 This Is the Whole Deal

These Terms plus our Privacy Policy make up our full agreement. Nothing we said before this counts. This is it.

16.2 If Part of This Doesn't Hold Up

If a court says part of these terms can't be enforced, we'll fix that part and keep the rest. One bad clause doesn't ruin the whole thing.

16.3 We Can Let Things Slide

If we don't enforce a rule once, that doesn't mean we've given it up for good. We can still enforce it later.

16.4 Moving This Agreement

16.5 Things Out of Our Hands

We're not on the hook if we can't work because of:

16.6 Some Places Can't Use SignSafe

U.S. law limits where SignSafe can be used. You cannot use it from:

You also cannot use SignSafe for weapons development. These are federal rules we must follow.

16.7 Clicking "I Agree" Counts

Clicking "I agree" online counts as a real signature. Emails count as real notices. That's how things work now.

16.8 How We Send Notices

We might email you, post updates on the site, or send in-app messages. If you need to send us a legal notice, email legal@sign-safe.app.

16.9 Headlines Don't Count

Section titles are just there to help you navigate. They're not part of the legal agreement.

16.10 Just Between Us

This agreement is between you and SignSafe. Nobody else gets rights from it.

16.11 Government Users

Work for the U.S. government? Under federal purchasing rules (FAR 12.212), SignSafe is classified as commercial software. This affects how your agency licenses it.

16.12 Copyright Claims (DMCA)

Think someone uploaded your copyrighted work? Email legal@sign-safe.app with:

Note: We don't store uploaded documents, so we usually can't remove them — they're already gone!

16.13 Legal Holds

If there's a lawsuit on the way, let us know. We'll save what we can. (But remember: we don't store your documents, so we can't hand over what we never kept.)

16.14 Accessibility

We work hard to make SignSafe usable by everyone:

🎉 You Made It!

Quick recap: SignSafe helps you understand contracts, but we're not lawyers. Be smart, be honest, and when in doubt, talk to a real attorney. We've got your back—now go find out what you're really signing!
