Terms of Service
Effective May 11, 2026
Read these carefully before using SPEIDER. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to be bound by them.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Speider, a California general partnership ("Speider," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Speider platform, including all associated software, services, features, and content (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you may not access or use the Service.
Speider is a legal intelligence monitoring platform that aggregates publicly available information from sources including SEC filings, federal court opinions, the Federal Register, and business news publications. The Service generates structured briefings, summaries, alerts, and considerations based on client profiles created and managed by users.
The Service allows you to upload documents to assist with the creation of client profiles. When you upload a document, Speider extracts a narrow set of structured fields (such as industry, counterparty names, and agreement types), transmits the file temporarily to its AI processing service for that extraction, and discards the file when the extraction call returns. Speider does not retain the original text of uploaded documents in its database or persist uploaded documents to disk. You should not upload documents containing attorney-client privileged communications, work-product materials, or other information you are not authorized to disclose to a third-party processor.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
Fair use. Individual and per-seat plans are described as including unlimited briefings, and for ordinary practice they do: typical use is well under 100 briefings per user per month, and we do not meter anything below that. 100 per user per month is the point at which we may get in touch to talk about how you are using the Service, and on a team plan that allowance is pooled across your seats rather than applied to each person separately. We will contact you before anything changes; we do not cut off access at a threshold, and we do not bill overages without an agreement.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Speider expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Speider does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, complete, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Speider does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any content, data, or output generated by the service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Speider, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities — arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of or inability to use the service, even if Speider has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Speider's total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or related to these terms or the service shall not exceed the greater of (i) the total fees paid by you to Speider in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) one hundred dollars ($100.00). Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms (other than payment obligations) to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, pandemic or epidemic, failure of third-party infrastructure (including hosting providers, internet service providers, telecommunications providers, or upstream AI or data providers), denial-of-service attacks, or other events of force majeure. The affected party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of such event and shall resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
Any notice, demand, or other communication required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and given (a) by email to hello@speider.ai (for notices to Speider) or to the email address associated with your account (for notices to you), or (b) by registered or certified mail to Speider at the address published on the Speider Contact page. Notices given by email are deemed received upon successful transmission; notices given by mail are deemed received three (3) business days after deposit with the postal service. Notices regarding the commencement of legal proceedings or any arbitration must be sent by registered or certified mail.
You may, but are not required to, submit suggestions, ideas, comments, requests, bug reports, or other feedback regarding the Service (collectively, "Feedback"). You agree that all Feedback is non-confidential and that Speider may use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and incorporate any Feedback into the Service or any other product or service, in any manner and for any purpose, without obligation to you and without any compensation or attribution. This clause does not grant Speider any rights in your User Data or Outputs, which remain governed by Section 6.
The Service generates briefings that may reference, link to, or summarize content from third-party sources, including SEC EDGAR, CourtListener, the Federal Register, news publications, and other publicly available data sources. Speider does not control, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any third-party content, and is not responsible for the practices of any third-party website or service. Your interactions with any third-party content or service are governed solely by the terms and policies of that third party. Speider disclaims all liability for any claims, damages, or losses arising from your use of, reliance on, or inability to access any third-party content or service referenced by or accessed through the Service.
