  1. IMPORTANT TERMS.
    1. This Platform Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Harvey and You and governs Your use of the Service. If You are using the Service on behalf of another entity (such as your employer), You must have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.
    2. By using the Service, the parties are agreeing to (i) this Agreement, (ii) our Acceptable Use Policy, (iii) our Support and Service Level Terms, (iv) our Service Terms, (v) our Security Addendum, (vi) our Data Processing Addendum, and (vii) where executed by the parties, our Business Associate Addendum (collectively, the “Terms”).
    3. Other than our Business Associate Addendum, Harvey may update the remainder of the Terms from time-to-time with all updates being effective when posted on our website, subject to the following:
      1. Other than for updates that (i) in Harvey’s reasonable judgement, are non-material, (ii) relate to new functionality and Preview Features, or (iii) are required by applicable law, Harvey will provide notice of any update at least 15 days in advance of the update being posted. Such updates are not retroactive, but will govern Your continued use of the Service.
      2. Notwithstanding Sections 1.3 and 1.3.1 above, in no event may Harvey update such Terms in a way that detracts from its obligations as agreed to in this Agreement with respect to Confidential Information, Customer Data, Customer Content, or security, without express written authorization from You.
      3. If Harvey updates the Terms pursuant to this Section 1.3 in a manner that You reasonably consider negatively impacts You, You have 15 days after notification or posting of such update to bring such matter to our attention. If we are unable to resolve Your issue (including by reverting You to our prior language for the balance of Your operative order form) within 15 days of You bringing such issue to our attention, You may terminate this Agreement and any operative order form upon 3 business days’ notice (and Harvey will refund to You any prepaid unused Fees for the applicable Service).
    4. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the remainder of the Terms, this Agreement controls, except regarding (i) the DPA, which will govern with respect to its subject matter, and (ii) the Service Terms, which control with respect to the features and services governed by the Service Terms.
    5. The Service is a research tool, and its Output is not legal advice. Output is AI-generated, and it may contain errors and misstatements or may be incomplete.
  2. DEFINITIONS. The definitions in Section 12 (Defined Terms) apply to these Terms. All terms in quotation marks in the body of this Agreement are also defined terms.
  3. USAGE.
    1. Subject to the Terms, You and Your Affiliates may access, and we grant You and Your Affiliates the non-exclusive right to use, the Service pursuant to the Documentation. Access credentials are specific to the user to whom they are issued and may not be shared, including within the same organization. You will take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized use of the Service.
    2. You may not (i) use the Service in a way that infringes, misappropriates, or violates any person’s rights, (ii) access or use the Service from any Embargoed Countries, (iii) attempt to reverse engineer or attempt to discover the source code or engineering of the underlying model and systems of the Service or Harvey’s subcontractors, (iv) attempt automated means to scrape content or Output from the Service, or (v) provide to the Service any personally identifiable genetic or biometric data.
    3. You acknowledge that the Service is not Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant. If You utilize Protected Health Information with the Service, such usage will further be subject to the terms of an executed Harvey Business Associate Addendum.
    4. To the extent that You provide us with any Feedback, we may freely use and incorporate any Feedback into our products and services. Harvey may not utilize Feedback in a way that identifies, or could be used to identify You or Your users, Customer Data, Content, or Your Confidential Information.
    5. Any third party software, services, or other products You use in connection with the Service (for example, Your internet browser) are subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for such third party products.
  4. CONTENT.
    1. You may provide Input to the Service and receive Output from the Service. As between the parties, You own Your Content.
    2. You may provide Input that is similar or identical to a third party’s user’s Input or may receive Output that is similar or identical to Output provided to other third party users. Queries that are requested by other third party users and responses provided to other third party users are not Your Content.
  5. CUSTOMER DATA.
    1. To utilize certain features, You may be required to upload documents (“Customer Data”) into the Service for the purpose of enabling certain features.
    2. As between the parties, You retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Customer Data. You grant to Harvey and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to process the Customer Data and Your Input to the extent necessary to provide the Service to You or Your Affiliates, to prevent or address service or technical problems with the Service, or as may be required by applicable law.
  6. FEES AND PAYMENTS.
    1. Payment terms and fees payable by You (“Fees”) are as set forth in Your order form(s). We have the right to correct invoicing errors or mistakes within 45 days of the relevant invoice being received by You.
    2. Fees are exclusive of any taxes or other governmental assessments, including but not limited to sales, use, consumption, value-added, goods and services taxes, withholding taxes, and related interest and penalties (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes on the Fees, except Taxes borne by Harvey, namely Taxes on net income (including franchise Taxes measured by net income), employment Taxes for its employees, and real property Taxes. Harvey will add Taxes to Your invoice if required by law. To claim an exemption from Taxes, You must provide a valid exemption certificate within 30 days of the invoice date. Your payments to Harvey will be made without any deduction or withholding of any kind. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, You will gross up the payment so that Harvey receives the amount it would have received absent such deduction or withholding. The Parties will cooperate and exchange all documentation necessary to reduce or eliminate any required deduction or withholding, and You will provide official receipts or other evidence of any amounts withheld and remitted promptly after issuance by the relevant taxing authority.
    3. If You want to dispute any Fees or Taxes, please contact accountsreceivable@harvey.ai within 30 days of the date of the disputed invoice. Undisputed amounts past due may be subject to a finance charge of the unpaid balance per month, accruing daily and compounding monthly at the rate of the prevailing Federal Funds Rate (subject to a minimum of zero) plus 1.5% per annum. If any undisputed amount of Your Fees is past due, we may suspend Your access to the Service after we provide You written notice of late payment. In the event of a billing dispute, any undisputed amounts must be paid in full.
  7. TERM AND TERMINATION.
    1. These Terms take effect as of the Effective Date and remain in effect until terminated. Either party may terminate these Terms by providing notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the above, termination (either by Harvey or You) does not become effective until the expiration or termination of all operative order forms or as otherwise indicated in Your order form or this Agreement. In the case of termination, You remain obligated to pay for any used but unpaid Fees charged to Your account.
    2. Either party may terminate any operative order form if the other party fails to cure any material breach of such order form or the Agreement within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the terminating party of the material breach.
    3. In the event an order form is terminated pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, on a date other than the Term End Date (as defined in the order form), You will be refunded a pro rata amount of any prepaid unused Fees inclusive of the day of termination.
    4. Within 30 days of termination, Harvey will securely delete any remaining Customer Data or Content unless otherwise instructed by You.
    5. The sections of these terms that customarily would survive such an agreement will survive (for example, provisions around confidentiality, obligation to pay unpaid fees, etc.).
  8. INDEMNIFICATION.
    1. Harvey will defend You against any claim by a third party alleging that the Service, when used in accordance with these Terms and the Documentation, infringes any intellectual property right of such third party and will indemnify You for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees finally awarded against You or agreed in settlement by us resulting from such claim. If Your use of the Service results (or in Harvey’s opinion is likely to result) in an infringement claim, Harvey may either: (i) substitute functionally similar products or services, (ii) procure for You the right to continue using the Service, or if (i) and (ii) are not commercially reasonable, (iii) terminate this Agreement, or the applicable order form, and refund to You any prepaid unused Fees for the applicable Service. Harvey will not have an obligation to indemnify and defend to the extent the applicable claim is attributable to any materials not provided by Harvey either alone or in combination with the Service. Notwithstanding the above, Harvey does not have any obligation to defend or indemnify with respect to Output that results from Input or Customer Data that is in violation of our Terms or results from Input or Customer Data that You knew or reasonably should have known was likely to lead to infringing Output.
    2. You will defend Harvey against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to: (i) Your Input or (ii) Your Customer Data. You will indemnify Harvey for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Harvey or agreed in settlement by You resulting from such claim.
    3. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this section, each party (the “Indemnified Party”) will: (i) promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim, (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, and (iii) upon request of the Indemnifying Party, provide all necessary cooperation at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of a claim under this section will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this section. However, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle any claim that would bind the Indemnified Party to any obligation (other than payment covered by the Indemnifying Party or ceasing to use infringing materials) or require any admission of fault by the Indemnified Party, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under this Section 8 will not apply if the Indemnified Party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.
  9. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
    1. You warrant that You have the necessary rights in Your Customer Data and Input to use it with the Service and that Your use of the Service will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

  10. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
    1. In no event will either party be liable to the other party or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of income, profits, revenue, or business interruption, or the cost of substitute services or other economic loss, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether such liability arises from any claim based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
    2. Other than with respect to (i) either party’s payment obligations under these Terms, (ii) the parties’ obligations under Section 8 (Indemnification), (iii) the claims indicated in Section 10.3 below, and (iv) claims based on liability which, by law, cannot be limited (for example, tort claims for gross negligence and intentional misconduct), in no event will either party’s total liability to the other party or any third party for all claims in the aggregate (for damages or liability of any type) in connection with these Terms exceed the greater of (x) the amount actually paid or payable to Harvey by You in the prior 12 months relating to Your use the Service or (y) $250,000 (the “Liability Cap”).
    3. For claims relating to data breaches of Your Customer Data caused by Harvey’s breach of its obligations under our Security Addendum or the DPA, as well as either party’s breach of its obligations relating to confidentiality, total liability to the other party or any third party for all claims in the aggregate (for damages or liability of any type) in connection with these Terms will not exceed the greater of (x) two times the amount actually paid or payable to Harvey by You in the prior 12 months relating to Your use of the Service or (y) $500,000 (the “Data Breach Cap”).
  11. GENERAL TERMS.

    2. Subcontracting. Harvey may use subcontractors and other third-party providers in connection with the performance of its activities under these Terms as it deems appropriate, provided that it remains responsible for the performance of any such subcontractors or third-party providers. Notwithstanding the above, any Subprocessor brought on after the Effective Date that would have access to Your Customer Data or Content must be brought on in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum.
    3. Severability and Interpretation. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of these Terms to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in effect.
    4. Affiliate Usage. You may grant Your Affiliates access to and use of the Service under Your account; provided, that You ensure such Affiliates are aware of, and You are responsible for their compliance with, the Terms. Actions taken or omissions made by Your Affiliates in connection with their access or use of the Service are subject to the Terms and deemed as if taken or made by You (for instance, in providing Input, Customer Data, or other Confidential Information, along with all applicable rights and licenses granted under the Terms). Any claims Your Affiliates may have in connection with the Terms or Service shall be made exclusively by You on behalf of Your Affiliates and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms, including Section 10 (Limitations on Liability), all of which apply in the aggregate across You and Your Affiliates. The parties agree that a person who is not a party to these Terms, including Your Affiliates, shall have no right to enforce any provision of the Terms against Harvey directly.
    5. Open Source Software. We warrant that we will not use any software in the Service that would cause Your software to become subject to an open source license that would require, as a condition of use, Your software to be disclosed or distributed in source code form or would give others the right to modify Your software.
    6. Confidentiality. Each party (as the “Receiving Party”) will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (i) not use any Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms; and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations to the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective than this section. If the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then the Receiving Party will, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Disclosing Party with advance written notification and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
    7. Usage Data. Harvey may collect and use Usage Data to develop, improve, support, and operate the Service. Harvey may not share Usage Data that includes Your Confidential Information with a third party (for example, auditors) except (i) in accordance with Section 11.6 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement, or (ii) to the extent the Usage Data is aggregated and anonymized such that You cannot be identified.

    13. Governing Law. These Terms will be governed by the Governing Laws without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
    14. Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by arbitration.
