3. The Service
Heartland AI provides AI-assisted tools for legal work, including contract review, document analysis, due diligence workflows, audit tables, and US legal research features. Features may change over time as we improve the platform.
The Service is a technology tool. It does not provide legal advice, and output should be reviewed by qualified professionals before reliance in legal matters.

- Use the Service to process data you are not authorized to handle

You retain ownership of documents, prompts, and other content you submit ("Customer Content"). You grant Heartland AI a limited license to host, process, and transmit Customer Content solely to provide and improve the Service, subject to our Privacy Policy.
6. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
If you connect third-party AI provider API keys, you are responsible for your provider account, billing, usage limits, and compliance with that provider's terms. We store keys in encrypted form and use them only to fulfill your requests within the Service.
7. Fees & Payment
Paid plans, seat licenses, and related fees are described on our pricing page or in an order form. Unless otherwise stated, fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with reasonable notice for future billing periods.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Heartland AI from claims arising out of your use of the Service, your Customer Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Suspension & Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create security risk, or as required by law. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by nature should survive termination will survive.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local law applies.
14. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email.
