The rules while Lawma is still in private prototype.

1 · Who these terms apply to

Access to this site is granted by Lawma, Inc. (“Lawma,” “we,” “our”) to specific invited reviewers — investors, advisors, counsel, partner candidates, and others Lawma has individually invited to evaluate the prototype. If you reached the site without an invitation, please contact us before continuing.

2 · Confidentiality

2.1 — Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means all information you observe, receive, or learn about Lawma in connection with this site, in any form, whether or not marked confidential — including without limitation: text, designs, mockups, financial figures and forecasts, business plans, investor materials, product architecture, engineering plans, source code visible in the browser, screenshots, the existence and identity of partners and counterparties, attorney-supervision structures, the content of any documents linked from the site, and any non-public fact you would reasonably understand to be confidential.

2.2 — Your obligations

You agree:

• Standard of care. To protect the Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care you use to protect your own confidential information, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
• Non-disclosure. Not to disclose the Confidential Information to anyone outside your own organization — including colleagues at other firms, friends, family, journalists, competitors, or social-media audiences. Within your organization, you may share only with people who (a) need to know to evaluate Lawma, and (b) are themselves bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these.
• No copying, no excerpting. Not to forward, screenshot, screen-record, photograph, copy, repost, paraphrase, summarize, or excerpt any portion of the site or the Confidential Information for any purpose other than evaluating Lawma in good faith within your own organization.
• No discussion.Not to discuss non-obvious facts you learn from the site — including but not limited to the financial model, product architecture, go-to-market plans, attorney-supervision structure, partner relationships, or unpublished IP — with people who are not part of your organization's evaluation team.
• Non-circumvent.Not to use the Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to compete with Lawma, to design around or replicate Lawma's product, to advise or assist any competitor, or to make any investment, financing, or business decision in any venture that competes with Lawma.
• Permitted purpose. To use the Confidential Information solely to evaluate a potential relationship with Lawma in good faith — investment, partnership, advisory, counsel review, or similar — and for no other purpose.
• No residual rights.Information “retained in unaided memory” is not a defense. You may not use recollection of the Confidential Information as a shield against breach of these obligations.
• Breach notice + cooperation. To notify Lawma promptly upon discovering any unauthorized use, disclosure, or access, and to cooperate reasonably to contain it.

2.3 — Trade-secret status

The Confidential Information includes Lawma's trade secretswithin the meaning of the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. §§ 1836 et seq.) and the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 3426 et seq.). Lawma takes reasonable measures to keep the information secret (including these terms, restricted access, and confidentiality obligations on personnel and counterparties), and the information derives independent economic value from not being generally known. Misappropriation of trade secrets entitles Lawma to all remedies available under those statutes, including actual damages, unjust-enrichment damages, exemplary damages, and attorneys' fees where the law allows.

2.4 — Notice of immunity (Defend Trade Secrets Act)

Under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), you may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade-secret law for disclosing a trade secret (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (b) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Nothing in these terms prevents you from making such a disclosure or from communicating with any government agency about a suspected violation of law.

2.5 — Equitable remedies

You acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 2 would cause Lawma irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and that Lawma is entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction) without the requirement of posting bond, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

2.6 — Return or destruction

On Lawma's written request, or at the end of your evaluation of Lawma, you will promptly (a) return or destroy all copies of the Confidential Information in your possession or control, including any copies stored in personal devices, third-party services, and backups, and (b) confirm the return or destruction to Lawma in writing on request. You may retain a single archival copy held by your legal department or outside counsel solely to comply with applicable record-retention requirements, which copy remains subject to these terms indefinitely.

2.7 — Term & survival

Your confidentiality obligations begin when you first access the site and continue for a period of five (5) years after Lawma publicly launches the product or sends you a written release, whichever is later. Trade secrets remain protected as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law — i.e., indefinitely while Lawma takes reasonable measures to keep them secret. Sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 survive any termination of your access.

2.8 — Standard exceptions

These obligations do not apply to information that you can show, by contemporaneous written records: (a) was publicly known through no breach of these terms or any other obligation owed to Lawma; (b) was rightfully known to you without confidentiality obligations before Lawma disclosed it; (c) was rightfully received from a third party authorized to disclose it; or (d) was independently developed by you without use of or reference to the Confidential Information. Disclosure compelled by law, court order, or regulatory authority is permitted only after you give Lawma prompt prior written notice (where legally allowed) and reasonable cooperation to seek a protective order or limit the scope of disclosure.

2.9 — Relationship to a separately-signed NDA

If you have signed, or later sign, a separate confidentiality agreement with Lawma, that agreement controls where it conflicts with this Section 2. Otherwise this Section 2 is the operative confidentiality agreement between you and Lawma with respect to the Confidential Information.

3 · Intellectual property

All content on this site — including the Lawma name and wordmark, the product designs, the financial model, the engineering plan, the source code visible in the browser, the written materials, photographs (licensed from Unsplash and Pexels), and the underlying ideas — is owned by Lawma, Inc. or licensed to us. Nothing on the site grants you a license to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works, except as strictly necessary to evaluate Lawma under Section 2.

4 · This is a prototype — no warranties

The site is a pre-launch prototype offered “as is.” Features may be incomplete, broken, or removed at any time without notice. Numbers, claims, and forecasts on the site reflect Lawma's current internal planning and may change. Lawma makes no warranties of any kind regarding the site, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

The site is not legal advice. Nothing on the prototype is a legal opinion, a substitute for counsel, or the basis of an attorney-client relationship. The launched product handles attorney-client relationships through licensed attorneys; the prototype does not.

5 · How you may interact with the prototype

• Demo accounts (when shared with you) are for evaluation only. Don't share credentials with anyone outside your organization.
• Don't attempt to attack, scrape, mass-download, load-test, or reverse-engineer the site or its APIs. If you find a security issue, please report it to hello@lawma.co— we'll thank you.
• Don't upload real, identifiable client case data to the prototype — only synthetic data. The privacy and security infrastructure required to hold real privileged data lives behind the launched product, not here.

6 · Termination of access

Lawma may revoke your access to the prototype at any time, for any reason or no reason. Section 2 (Confidentiality) and Section 3 (Intellectual property) survive any termination.

7 · Governing law & venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes arising under these terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
