These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites, software, applications, artificial intelligence features, simulations, training tools, reports, and related services provided by First Chair, Inc., doing business as inSession ("inSession," "we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account, accessing or using inSession, or otherwise indicating your acceptance of these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use inSession.
inSession is an artificial intelligence-powered trial simulation, litigation strategy, legal training, and educational platform.
The platform may allow users to practice litigation scenarios, interact with AI-generated participants, analyze legal strategies, prepare witnesses, evaluate arguments, conduct simulations, receive performance feedback, and use other litigation preparation and educational tools.
inSession may be used by attorneys, paralegals, law students, professors, legal professionals, law firms, educational institutions, organizations, and other individuals who are at least 18 years old.
You must be at least 18 years old to use inSession.
You do not need to be an attorney or legal professional to create an account unless a particular feature, program, organization, or subscription requires otherwise.
By using inSession, you represent that you are legally capable of entering into these Terms.
If you use inSession on behalf of a law firm, school, company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to use the service on its behalf and, where applicable, bind that entity to these Terms.
inSession is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Use of inSession does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and First Chair, Inc., inSession, or any of our employees, contractors, service providers, or affiliates.
Information, simulations, reports, recommendations, questions, arguments, strategies, citations, analyses, scores, and other content generated through inSession are provided for simulation, preparation, training, informational, and educational purposes.
Artificial intelligence can make mistakes. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or inappropriate for a particular legal matter or jurisdiction.
Users are responsible for independently evaluating and verifying information generated through inSession, including:
No user should rely upon inSession as the sole basis for making a legal, professional, strategic, financial, or other significant decision.
Attorneys and other legal professionals remain solely responsible for exercising their own professional judgment and satisfying their professional and ethical obligations.
inSession uses artificial intelligence to simulate courtroom participants, litigation scenarios, legal proceedings, and human reactions.
These simulations may include AI-generated judges, opposing counsel, witnesses, experts, jurors, mediators, coaches, appellate panels, or other simulated participants.
These are simulations. Unless inSession expressly identifies otherwise, simulated participants are fictional or AI-generated and do not represent, speak for, or purport to reproduce the actual views, opinions, decisions, behavior, or future actions of any real person.
Simulation results may include:
These outputs are designed to assist with preparation, practice, analysis, and training. They do not predict or guarantee the outcome of an actual legal proceeding.
Actual judges, jurors, witnesses, attorneys, mediators, experts, courts, and other participants may respond differently from an inSession simulation.
Past simulation performance does not guarantee future courtroom performance or litigation results.
Users may submit information relating to actual or simulated legal matters ("Case-Specific Data").
Case-Specific Data may include case facts, documents, evidence, legal strategies, attorney work product, witness information, transcripts, recordings, and other information concerning a legal matter.
You retain ownership of your Case-Specific Data. Submitting Case-Specific Data to inSession does not transfer ownership of the underlying information to inSession.
You grant inSession and its authorized service providers the limited rights necessary to host, process, transmit, analyze, reproduce, and otherwise use Case-Specific Data solely as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and support the services you request.
inSession does not sell Case-Specific Data.
inSession does not use Case-Specific Data to train artificial intelligence models, and our service providers are not permitted to use Case-Specific Data processed on our behalf to train their artificial intelligence models.
Our handling of Case-Specific Data is further described in our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for determining whether information may appropriately be submitted to inSession.
By submitting Case-Specific Data, you represent that you have the rights, permissions, consents, or other authority reasonably necessary to provide and process that information through the service.
Legal professionals remain responsible for complying with applicable:
inSession does not determine whether submitting particular Case-Specific Data is permissible under your professional, ethical, contractual, or legal obligations.
inSession uses artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, voice, avatar, payment, storage, security, and other technology providers to deliver portions of the service.
inSession uses third-party providers for cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence processing, data storage, voice and avatar technology, payment processing, security, authentication, communications, and related platform services. Payment-card processing is handled by Stripe rather than ordinarily stored by inSession.
A current list of material service providers and subprocessors is available upon request by contacting [email protected].
These providers may process information as necessary to provide services to inSession.
Service providers processing Case-Specific Data on behalf of inSession are not permitted to use that information to train their artificial intelligence models.
Additional information about our use of service providers and handling of information is available in our Privacy Policy.
Certain inSession experiences may involve audio, video, text, or other interactive communications.
To provide simulations, scoring, feedback, reports, practice history, quality functions, and related features, sessions may be recorded, transcribed, processed, and analyzed.
Where session information is used for broader platform analytics or improvement beyond providing the user's specific session functionality, we use anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified information designed not to identify the user, client, or specific legal matter.
By participating in a feature that involves recording or transcription, you authorize the processing necessary to provide that feature.
You are responsible for obtaining any consent legally required from other individuals whose voice, image, statements, or information you choose to submit or record through inSession.
Your account is personal to you unless otherwise expressly provided under an organizational or enterprise arrangement.
Account credentials may not be shared.
You are responsible for:
You may not permit another individual to impersonate you or use your personal account credentials.
Organizations may provision separate accounts for authorized users.
Law firms, law schools, companies, and other organizations may purchase, administer, or provide access to inSession accounts.
Where authorized by the organization and applicable account configuration, designated administrators may have access to information concerning users associated with the organization, which may include:
Access will depend on the applicable service, organizational configuration, permissions, and authorization.
Users participating through an organizational account should understand that authorized administrators may have access to information associated with their use of the service.
inSession may be used by law schools, professors, instructors, training programs, employers, and other organizations for educational and professional-development purposes.
Scores, evaluations, feedback, rankings, and other assessments generated by inSession are designed as instructional and performance-development tools.
They should not automatically be interpreted as official academic grades, professional certifications, employment evaluations, or determinations of professional competence unless the applicable institution or organization has expressly chosen to use them for such purposes.
Educational institutions and instructors remain responsible for determining how inSession results are incorporated into their courses, grading systems, or training programs.
Except for user-provided content and Case-Specific Data, First Chair, Inc. and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the inSession platform and associated technology and intellectual property.
This includes, as applicable:
Your subscription or access to inSession provides a limited right to use the service. It does not transfer ownership of inSession technology or intellectual property.
Subject to these Terms and applicable law, you may use, copy, download, modify, and incorporate into your work outputs generated specifically for you through your lawful use of inSession, including reports, suggested questions, strategies, analyses, arguments, and other generated materials.
Because artificial intelligence systems can generate similar or identical content in response to different users, outputs may not be unique.
inSession does not represent or warrant that generated output is eligible for intellectual-property protection, is unique to you, or will not be similar to content generated for another user.
Your rights to generated outputs do not include ownership of inSession's underlying software, systems, prompts, workflows, methodologies, scoring systems, rubrics, or other proprietary technology.
You may use inSession only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You may not:
We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action.
Certain inSession services require a paid subscription.
Subscription prices, features, usage allowances, and billing periods are displayed when you subscribe and may vary by plan, organization, promotion, or service offering.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions are billed in advance and automatically renew at the end of each applicable billing period until canceled.
By purchasing an automatically renewing subscription, you authorize inSession and its payment processor to charge the applicable payment method for recurring subscription fees and applicable taxes until cancellation.
You may cancel future renewal in accordance with the cancellation process provided through your account or by contacting inSession.
Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated at the time of purchase, cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid billing period.
Payments for partially used billing periods are generally nonrefundable except where required by law.
We may modify pricing, plans, features, or subscription structures. Where required or appropriate, we will provide notice before a pricing change applies to a renewing subscription.
inSession may provide pilot programs, beta functionality, previews, free access, trials, demonstrations, promotional services, or experimental features.
Such services may be incomplete, modified, unavailable, or discontinued at any time.
Pilot and beta features may perform differently from generally available services and may contain errors or experience interruptions.
Unless separately agreed in writing, inSession may modify, limit, suspend, or terminate pilot, beta, complimentary, or promotional access at its discretion.
inSession is an evolving technology platform.
We may add, modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue features as the service develops.
We do not guarantee that every feature, AI model, technology provider, avatar, simulation type, integration, or functionality will remain continuously available.
We may perform maintenance or make changes that temporarily affect service availability.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to inSession when reasonably necessary, including for:
You may stop using inSession at any time.
Termination does not eliminate obligations that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions concerning ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and other accrued rights.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INSESSION AND ITS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."
FIRST CHAIR, INC. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND EVALUATING OUTPUTS BEFORE RELYING ON OR USING THEM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIRST CHAIR, INC., INSESSION, AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR SIMILAR LOSSES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE INSESSION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF FIRST CHAIR, INC. ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO INSESSION DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID INSESSION DURING THAT PERIOD, THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL BE $100.
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory upon which liability is asserted and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless First Chair, Inc., inSession, and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from or relating to:
This provision does not require you to indemnify inSession for conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.
Except as otherwise provided in the arbitration provisions below or required by applicable law, these Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement below.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Except for disputes that are legally exempt from arbitration or claims that qualify for an applicable small claims court, you and First Chair, Inc. agree that disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, inSession, or your use of the services will be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than in court.
Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, unless the parties mutually agree to another location or applicable law requires otherwise.
The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral arbitrator under the rules of a nationally recognized arbitration provider mutually selected by the parties or otherwise determined in accordance with applicable law.
The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies that would be available in court to the extent authorized by applicable law.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable harm pending arbitration.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FIRST CHAIR, INC. AGREE THAT CLAIMS WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of multiple individuals or preside over a class, collective, or representative proceeding except where applicable law requires otherwise.
If this waiver is determined to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent required by law.
To the extent a dispute is subject to arbitration under these Terms, you and First Chair, Inc. waive the right to have that dispute decided by a judge or jury in court.
For disputes that are not subject to arbitration, any waiver of jury trial applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
We may update these Terms as inSession evolves or as necessary to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal obligations.
When we update these Terms, we will update the effective date displayed above.
For material changes, we may provide additional notice through the website, platform, email, or other appropriate means.
Continued use of inSession after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or similar transaction.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly applicable to a particular service or organizational agreement, constitute the agreement between you and First Chair, Inc. concerning your use of inSession.
If a separately executed written agreement between First Chair, Inc. and an organization conflicts with these Terms, the separately executed agreement controls to the extent of the conflict.
