Terms of Service
These terms are written for the law firm using Lawtté. If you called a firm that uses us, or spoke with an assistant on a firm’s website, see our Privacy Policy instead — your case information belongs to that firm, not to us.
1. These Terms
These Terms of Service are an agreement between Lawtte, Inc. (“Lawtté”, “we”, “us”) and the organization using our Services (“you”, “your firm”). They cover everything we offer: the managed AI receptionist and case-manager agents we configure for firms, and Lawtté Studio, where you build and run your own AI employee yourself — including her phone line, her outbound calls, and the voice widget you can install on your website.
By creating an account, ticking the box at signup, or using the Services, you accept these terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a firm, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.
1.1 Who these terms are not for
People who call your firm, or who talk to your AI employee on your website, are not parties to this agreement. Their information is yours — you are the controller of it and we process it for you (see section 15). Nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship between anyone and Lawtté, and nothing here changes the relationship between you and your clients.
2. Your Account
2.1 Registration
You need an account to build or run an AI employee. Give us accurate information and keep it current. We verify your email address before your agent can go live; a working address is how we reach you about billing, security, and changes to these terms.
2.2 Security
Keep your credentials confidential, and tell us promptly at contact@lawtte.ai if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including calls your AI employee places and minutes she consumes.
2.3 One firm per account
An account and the AI employees under it belong to one firm. Do not resell access, or run another firm’s intake through your account, without a written agreement with us.
3. What the Services Are — and Are Not
Our AI employees answer and place calls, ask intake questions you define, take messages, transfer callers, offer and book appointments, send summaries, and record what was said. Depending on what you turn on, they may also send texts and emails, read documents you give them, and write into systems you connect.
3.1 We are not a law firm
Lawtté does not practice law and does not give legal advice. Your AI employee is a receptionist and assistant, not a lawyer: she does not evaluate cases, predict outcomes, or advise callers. Everything she produces — summaries, transcripts, extracted fields, drafts — is raw material for a licensed professional at your firm to review.
3.2 Availability
We aim to answer every call, around the clock, and we do not guarantee it. Calls can fail to connect, drop mid-conversation, transcribe imperfectly, or be missed during an outage at us or at a provider we depend on. The Services are not a substitute for a human answering service, a voicemail box you monitor, or a calendar you check.
4. Your AI Employee Is Your Configuration
In Studio, you decide who she is and what she says: her name, voice, and greeting; what your firm handles and does not handle; the intake questions she asks; your fees, hours, and service area; who she transfers to; what she sends afterward; and the facts and documents she answers from.
4.1 You review before she goes live
Test her before you publish — by browser, by phone, and on your website if you install the widget — and keep reviewing her after. Publishing her, connecting a number, or installing the widget is your confirmation that what she says is what you want said in your firm’s name.
4.2 Guardrails are real but not perfect
Every agent we generate carries built-in rules: she is not a lawyer, she does not give legal advice, she does not promise outcomes, she does not claim an attorney-client relationship, and she points life-safety emergencies to 911. Those rules are instructions to a language model, not a guarantee about its output. She can still be wrong, misunderstand a caller, or answer something she should have deflected, and you remain responsible for what she says on your behalf.
4.3 What we may change
We improve the underlying prompts, models, voices, and tooling over time, and a change can alter how she sounds or behaves. We will not change your own configuration — your facts, questions, and routing — except at your request or to comply with law.
5. Professional Responsibility
You are the lawyer; we are a tool you supervise. Using an AI receptionist does not move any professional obligation from you to us.
- Supervision. Treat your AI employee as nonlawyer assistance under your rules of professional conduct (ABA Model Rule 5.3 and your state’s equivalent): review her work, and keep a person accountable for it.
- Advertising and solicitation. What she says about your firm, and the widget you put on your site, are your communications about legal services, subject to your bar’s advertising rules.
- Unauthorized practice. Do not configure her to give legal advice, quote a likely recovery, or tell a caller what the law requires.
- Confidentiality and privilege. You decide what she collects and what you connect her to. Ask for what intake needs, not more. We cannot advise you on whether a particular disclosure affects privilege.
- Conflicts. Turn on adverse-party questions where you need them, and run your own conflict check before you take a matter. She flags; she does not clear.
- Jurisdiction. Keep her service-area screening current so she does not invite matters you cannot take.
6. Recording, AI Disclosure, and Consent
Calls and website conversations run through our voice provider, which records and transcribes them so you can hear what happened, read the summary, and keep a record. Recording is how the Services work; if you cannot record, you cannot use them.
6.1 Consent is your obligation
You are responsible for giving notice and obtaining consent for recording, in every place you take calls. Some states require every party to consent; some require notice at the start of the call; requirements differ for calls that cross state lines. Your greeting and your website are where that notice lives, and you control both. We give you the tools — an opening line you can edit, and a recording notice on the website widget — and we cannot tell you what your jurisdictions require.
6.2 Saying she is not a person
Several states now require disclosure when someone is talking to an automated system rather than a human, and you should assume a caller may ask. Do not configure her to claim she is a person, do not give her a real employee’s name or photograph without that person’s permission, and do not remove the disclosure the website widget shows before a visitor starts a conversation.
6.3 What we do with recordings
We store recordings, transcripts, and summaries so they are available to you in your dashboard and in the systems you connect, and we process them to deliver the Services. We do not use them to train our own models. See section 15 and our Privacy Policy.
7. Not for Emergencies or Deadlines
7.1 No emergency service
Numbers we provide are not emergency lines and do not support 911 or E911 dialing. Your AI employee cannot summon help. She tells a caller in danger to hang up and call 911, and that is all she can do. Keep a way for people to reach emergency services that does not depend on us.
7.2 Do not rely on us for time-sensitive matters
A message can be delayed, a summary can be wrong, a transcript can mis-hear a date, and a call can be lost entirely. Do not use the Services as your record of a limitations period, a filing deadline, a court date, or any other obligation where a missed or garbled message causes harm. Check your dashboard and your own systems, and treat her output as a lead to verify rather than a fact to act on.
8. The Website Widget
Studio can generate a script you paste onto your own website so visitors can talk to your AI employee from the page. If you install it, these terms apply to it as much as to your phone line.
8.1 Your sites only
Name the domains you are installing it on. The widget will open a conversation only from those sites, and we may refuse or disable installations elsewhere. Do not embed another firm’s widget, and do not let anyone embed yours.
8.2 Your site, your disclosures
The widget lives on your website, so your site’s privacy notice, terms, cookie disclosures, and accessibility obligations cover it. Tell visitors that conversations are recorded and that an automated assistant answers — the widget says so before a visitor starts, and you should say it in your own privacy notice too. Because the widget is voice-only today, keep another way to reach you visible on the page for anyone who cannot or would rather not speak.
8.3 Widget minutes are your minutes
Website conversations consume your included minutes and then bill as overage, exactly like phone calls. Anyone who can reach your website can start one, so watch your usage, keep your domain list tight, and turn the widget off if you see abuse. We rate-limit and may suspend a widget that looks abused, and we are not obliged to credit minutes someone else consumed through your site.
9. Outbound Calls and Messages
If you turn on outbound calling, texting, or email, your AI employee contacts people you tell her to contact, and you are the caller and the sender.
- You warrant that you have the consent and legal basis to contact every number, address, and person you upload or trigger, for the purpose you are contacting them.
- You comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, state calling-time and automated-dialing rules, do-not-call lists (federal, state, and your own), and CAN-SPAM.
- You honor opt-outs immediately, in every channel. When someone asks not to be contacted by an AI, that goes on your do-not-call list and stays there.
- Text messaging depends on carrier registration (10DLC) that must be approved before we can send on your behalf.
- We may suspend outbound features without notice in response to complaints, carrier action, or a pattern that puts our numbers or other customers at risk.
10. Phone Numbers
10.1 How you get one
We provision numbers through our telephony providers and assign them to your AI employee. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the number is assigned to you for use with the Services — you do not own it, and you cannot transfer it to someone else.
10.2 Forwarding your own number
You may instead forward a number you already control. Your carrier’s terms govern that number, and how you forward it is your configuration to maintain.
10.3 What happens when you leave
When your subscription ends we release the numbers we provisioned for you, and they may be reassigned to someone else. If you want to port a number out, ask us before you cancel and we will cooperate with a valid port-out request while your account is active. We cannot recover a number once it is released.
10.4 Fair use
Numbers we provide are for your firm’s own intake and client communication. No robocalling, no traffic pumping, no spoofing, and no use that violates carrier rules or telecom law.
11. Connected Accounts
You can connect your calendar, case-management system, CRM, messaging, and e-signature tools so your AI employee can read availability and write what she learns where your team already works.
- You authorize each connection, and you can revoke it at any time in our settings or in the provider’s own security settings.
- We use the access you grant only to provide the Services you turned on. Where a provider imposes additional rules on us — for example Google’s Limited Use requirements for Workspace data — we follow them, and our Privacy Policy describes them.
- Those systems are not ours. We are not responsible for their availability, their pricing, their changes, or data loss inside them, and a change on their side can break a feature here.
- Writes are not always reversible. A stage change, a calendar event, or a note our agents create in your system may trigger your own automations, and you are responsible for what those automations then do.
11.1 AI clients and outbound calls
You may authorize a supported AI client — ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, or another — to use a limited set of Lawtte tools. The connection is scoped to the Studio you select when you authorize it, and you can revoke it from Lawtte Studio at any time.
A call placed through a connected client reaches a real person and cannot be undone once dialing starts. Before you authorize one, verify the recipient’s name, telephone number, and the purpose of the call, and make sure you hold every notice, permission, and consent the law requires. Calling-hour, do-not-call, duplicate-call, and account limits may stop a call from going out.
Do not put payment-card information, protected health information, government identifiers, passwords, authentication codes, API keys, or other credentials through a connector. Your use of the connected client is also governed by that client’s own terms and privacy policy.
12. Plans, Minutes, and Payment
12.1 Plans and what is included
Self-serve plans, their prices, and their included minutes are published at lawtte.ai/studio/pricing and shown before you subscribe. Included minutes reset at the start of each billing period and do not roll over. Managed accounts are billed on the terms in their own order form, which controls where it differs from this section.
12.2 What counts as a minute
Talk time on calls your AI employee handles: inbound calls, outbound calls, and conversations through the website widget. We total the period’s talk time and round to the nearest minute. Your own test calls — the preview in the builder and the test call in your dashboard — are not billed.
12.3 Overage
Minutes past your plan’s allowance are billed at the overage rate shown on the pricing page (currently $0.80 per minute) and appear on the same invoice. Usage is metered continuously, so heavy call volume increases what you owe within the period.
12.4 Free trial
Where we offer a trial, it includes a limited number of minutes. When the trial’s minutes run out, your AI employee pauses until your first payment goes through. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your plan begins and your payment method is charged automatically.
12.5 Automatic renewal and how to cancel
Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year until you cancel, and your payment method is charged at the start of each period. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard’s billing screen — Billing opens the Stripe portal, where plan changes and cancellation live — or by emailing contact@lawtte.ai. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period: your AI employee keeps answering until then, and we do not prorate a period you have already started. Fees already paid are not refundable except where the law requires it.
12.6 Payment, taxes, and failed charges
Payments are processed by Stripe; you authorize recurring charges to the method you provide. Prices exclude taxes, which we add where we must collect them. If a charge fails, we may retry it and pause your AI employee — she stops answering, and the widget stops offering conversations — until the balance clears. An account left unpaid may be terminated and its numbers released.
12.7 Price changes
We may change plan prices or included minutes with at least 30 days’ notice by email, effective on your next renewal. If you do not agree, cancel before that renewal.
13. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Present an AI employee as a human being, or give her the identity of a real person without that person’s written permission.
- Configure her to give legal advice, guarantee an outcome, or assert an attorney-client relationship.
- Collect payment card numbers, Social Security numbers, or account credentials through a conversation.
- Use the Services for anything other than your firm’s legitimate legal work — no robocalling, no lead-generation spam, no deceptive scripts, no impersonating another business.
- Resell, sublicense, white-label, or run another organization’s intake on your account without our written agreement.
- Reverse engineer the Services, extract our prompts or models, scrape our interfaces, circumvent rate limits or usage metering, or use our outputs to build or train a competing service.
- Upload malware, probe or attack our infrastructure, or interfere with anyone else’s use of the Services.
- Break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or violate a carrier’s or provider’s rules through your use of the Services.
We may investigate suspected violations and suspend features or accounts while we do. Where the risk is to other customers, our numbers, or the public, we may act first and explain afterward.
14. Your Content
14.1 What you give us
“Your Content” is everything you put into the Services: your firm’s facts and fee information, intake questions, documents and knowledge you upload, contact lists, avatars and images, and the recordings, transcripts, and records generated for you. Your Content stays yours.
14.2 The license we need
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, process, and display Your Content, and to share it with the providers listed in our Privacy Policy, solely to operate and support the Services for you. It ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups we cycle out and records we must keep.
14.3 What you promise about it
You have the rights to everything you upload — including any photograph, name, likeness, or voice you use for your AI employee — and the right to give it to us for processing. Do not upload content that infringes someone’s rights or that you are not permitted to disclose.
14.4 No protected health information
The Services are not configured for HIPAA, and we do not sign business associate agreements. Do not use the Services as a repository for protected health information, and do not connect systems that would push it to us. Personal-injury and mass-tort intake inevitably touches a caller’s health — that is expected — but the Services are not a HIPAA-compliant environment and you should not treat them as one.
15. Data, Confidentiality, and Subprocessors
15.1 Who plays which role
For the information your callers, clients, and website visitors provide, you are the controller and we are your processor: we handle it on your instructions to deliver the Services. When a caller asks us for access to or deletion of their information, we point them to you. For your own account, billing, and support records, we act for ourselves.
15.2 Confidentiality
We treat Your Content as confidential. Our people access it only to operate, support, secure, and debug the Services, or where you ask us to. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to train our own models. We may use aggregated, de-identified operational statistics — call volumes, error rates, feature usage — to run and improve the Services.
15.3 Subprocessors
Delivering the Services requires other providers: voice and telephony, model providers, hosting, database and storage, payments, email, and analytics. We will provide the current list of these subprocessors, and what each one touches, on request — email contact@lawtte.ai, as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of the Services is your authorization for us to use them.
15.4 Security and incidents
We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege service credentials, and audit logging — and no system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a breach affecting Your Content, we will notify you without undue delay and share what we know so you can meet your own obligations.
15.5 Retention, export, and deletion
While your account is active, your records stay available in your dashboard and in the systems you connect. Export what you need before you cancel. After termination we delete or de-identify Your Content within 90 days, except what we must retain for legal, accounting, or security reasons. Ask us in writing if you need deletion sooner.
16. Support and Availability
Support runs through the Help & support screen in your dashboard, which opens a ticket, and by email to contact@lawtte.ai. We aim to respond to self-serve tickets within one business day. Unless you have a written agreement that says otherwise, we do not commit to an uptime percentage, a response time, or a fix time.
We maintain, update, and occasionally take parts of the Services offline. Features marked beta, preview, or experimental may change or disappear, and you use them knowing that.
17. Suspension and Termination
17.1 By you
Cancel any time from your billing screen or by email; see section 12.5 for what cancellation does and when it takes effect.
17.2 By us
We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, if your account goes unpaid, if your use creates legal or security risk, or if we are required to. Where circumstances allow, we give notice and a chance to fix the problem first.
17.3 What termination means
Your AI employees stop answering, the widget stops offering conversations, provisioned numbers are released and may be reassigned, and access to your dashboard ends. Sections that should outlive the agreement — fees owed, content licenses needed for wind-down, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnities, and dispute resolution — survive.
18. Changes
We may change these terms. When a change is material, we will give notice by email or in the product at least 30 days before it takes effect, and we will publish the new version with a new version number and effective date. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not, cancel before then. We record which version each account accepted.
We may also add, change, or retire features. We will not materially reduce a paid plan’s core function mid-term without offering you a way out.
19. Disclaimers
19.1 No legal advice, no outcome
Lawtté does not provide legal advice and makes no representation about the quality, viability, or value of any matter a caller brings you. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or fabricated. Review it.
Except as expressly stated here, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every call will be answered, recorded, transcribed, summarized, or delivered.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost clients, or lost or inaccurate data — including a matter you did not sign, a caller you did not reach, or a deadline you did not learn about.
- Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to these terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars.
- These limits do not apply to your obligation to pay fees, to either party’s liability for fraud or willful misconduct, or to anything the law does not permit us to limit.
You accept that these limits reflect the price of the Services and that we would not offer them on these terms otherwise.
21. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lawtte, Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, penalties, and reasonable legal fees arising from:
- your use of the Services and how you configured your AI employee;
- recording, AI-disclosure, wiretap, privacy, or consent claims relating to calls or website conversations at your firm, including claims arising from the widget on your website;
- outbound calls, texts, or emails sent on your instructions, including TCPA and do-not-call claims;
- Your Content, and anything you uploaded that you did not have the rights to;
- your breach of these terms or of your professional obligations.
We will tell you promptly about a claim, let you control the defense of claims that are only about money, and cooperate at your expense. You will not settle anything that admits our fault or binds us without our consent.
22. Dispute Resolution
22.1 Talk to us first
Before filing anything, email contact@lawtte.ai describing the dispute and what you want. We will do the same for you. Both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
22.2 Arbitration
If that fails, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before one arbitrator, seated in Los Angeles County, California, in English. The arbitrator decides the dispute and their award may be entered as a judgment. Either party may still bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
22.3 No class actions
Claims are brought individually. Neither party will bring a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator has no authority to hear one. If this paragraph is held unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of section 22 still applies.
22.4 Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For anything not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to venue there.
23. General
23.1 Entire agreement
These terms, our Privacy Policy, the pricing page, and any order form or written agreement we sign with you are the whole agreement. Where a signed order form conflicts with these terms, the order form wins for that account.
23.2 Assignment
You may not assign this agreement without our written consent. We may assign it to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, and we will tell you if that changes who provides the Services.
23.3 Notices and electronic records
We send notices to the email on your account; you send them to contact@lawtte.ai. You consent to receive communications, agreements, and notices electronically, and you agree that electronic acceptance — the box you ticked at signup — is a signature.
23.4 Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events outside its reasonable control, including carrier or cloud provider outages, failures at an AI provider we depend on, natural disasters, and government action. Payment obligations are not excused.
23.5 Severability, waiver, independence
If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. We are independent contractors: nothing here creates a partnership, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship, and nothing creates rights for anyone who is not a party.
23.6 California customers
California residents may report a complaint to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210. California privacy rights are described in our Privacy Policy.
