01 No Legal Advice
PlainClause is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All content generated by PlainClause — including contract summaries, risk assessments, clause explanations, and responses to legal questions — is produced by artificial intelligence and is provided for general informational purposes only.
Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice, legal opinion, or a recommendation to take any specific legal action. AI-generated content may be incomplete, outdated, or inapplicable to your specific jurisdiction or circumstances.
You should always consult a licensed attorney before making any decision based on information you receive from PlainClause. Laws, regulations, and contract standards vary significantly by jurisdiction and change over time.
02 No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your use of PlainClause does not create, and is not intended to create, an attorney-client relationship between you and PlainClause or any of its employees, contractors, or affiliates. No such relationship is established by submitting content through the platform, receiving a response, or any other interaction with the service.
Communications made through PlainClause are not protected by attorney-client privilege or any other legal protection. Do not submit information to PlainClause that you wish to keep confidential under privilege.

10 Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of PlainClause shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within thirty (30) days, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
Arbitration shall take place in Iowa, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Iowa to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
