3. Service description

Verdictia is an AI-assisted contract analysis tool intended for authorized users acting in a professional context, including legal professionals, in-house legal teams and business users. It helps structure contract analysis, surface points of attention and prepare items to validate.

Verdictia does not provide legal advice. Outputs are indicative and must be verified by the user or by a qualified professional. The service does not replace professional judgment.

3.1 Nature and limits of the service

Verdictia is a software tool that assists with contract review, intended for authorized users, including legal professionals, in-house legal teams and business users acting in a professional context.

Verdictia helps structure analysis, identify points of attention and prepare review elements. Verdictia is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice and does not create any lawyer-client relationship with the user.

Generated outputs may contain errors, omissions or inaccuracies and do not guarantee the exhaustive detection of all risks. They must be verified by the user or by a qualified professional before any legal, financial or commercial decision.

Usage or audience profiles, where available, only adapt the presentation, vocabulary and rendering of analyses. They do not modify risk detection, severity, scores, criteria, references, contractual reasoning or conclusions.

The user must not present Verdictia as a lawyer, a law firm, a service approved by a professional regulator, or as a substitute for professional validation.

4. Access

Access to the Verdictia service may be provided as part of a trial, self-serve access, a supervised pilot, a subscription, or an enterprise deployment, depending on the terms applicable to the account, the selected offer, or the agreement entered into with Verdictia.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the service only for legitimate professional purposes, not to bypass security measures, not to submit sensitive personal information without an appropriate legal basis, and to respect third-party rights in submitted documents.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Verdictia does not use advertising cookies, advertising trackers or tracking technologies for commercial profiling.

Use of the Verdictia application by an authorized user requires certain strictly necessary technical cookies, including for authentication, session security, session renewal, prevention of unauthorized access and maintaining the connection.

These cookies are required for the normal operation of the application. If the user, browser or organization blocks these necessary cookies, some features may become unavailable, including login, workspace access, document analysis, AI-assisted review streams and correct logout.

These necessary cookies are not used for advertising or commercial profiling. The public Verdictia website may use other cookies or similar technologies only as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Contract documents and AI

Documents submitted to Verdictia are processed exclusively for the requested analysis. They are not used to train, fine-tune or improve artificial intelligence models. You retain all rights in your documents.

Verdictia treats submitted documents as confidential and limits access to personnel and technical service providers who need access to provide, secure, maintain or improve the service, under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Documents may contain personal information. Their processing is described in the Privacy Policy. The user remains responsible for having the necessary rights, authorizations and legal bases to submit documents to the service.

For documents submitted by the user for the requested analysis, Verdictia generally acts as a service provider or processor handling personal information on behalf of the user, unless otherwise agreed in writing or where Verdictia processes information for its own legal, security or rights-protection obligations.

At the end of the use of the service, the client organization may request export or deletion of its documents, subject to legal, security, evidentiary retention obligations or applicable written agreements.

Verdictia may retain metadata-only technical logs and telemetry for up to twelve (12) months where needed for security, diagnostics, AI cost tracking, operational audit, abuse prevention and protection of its rights, without including raw contracts, full prompts, full AI responses, secrets or authentication tokens.

8. Service availability

Verdictia uses reasonable efforts to keep the service available and secure. The service may nevertheless experience temporary interruptions for maintenance, updates, service improvements, security incidents or technical reasons. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, continuous or uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.

9. Suspension and termination

Verdictia may suspend or terminate access to the service in case of abusive use, non-compliance with these terms, risk to service security, attempted circumvention of access controls or use that may infringe third-party rights.

Where the situation allows, Verdictia provides reasonable notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach before suspension or termination. Immediate suspension may occur in case of security risk, apparent illegality, urgency or necessary protection of users, Verdictia or third parties.

The user may stop using the service and request account closure or deletion of documents, subject to legal, security, evidentiary retention obligations or applicable written agreements.

10. Indemnification

The user agrees to indemnify Verdictia Inc. for third-party claims, damages and reasonable costs directly resulting from non-compliant use of the service, a material breach of these terms or infringement of third-party rights related to documents, data or content submitted by the user.

This obligation does not apply to the extent the claim results from fault, breach of confidentiality or security obligations, or unauthorized use attributable to Verdictia.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Verdictia Inc. is not liable for indirect losses, loss of profit, loss of opportunity or consequential damages resulting from use of the service. Analyses generated by Verdictia are aids for contract analysis and preparation of items to validate; they do not constitute legal advice and must be verified before any legal, financial or commercial decision.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing or required by mandatory law, Verdictia's maximum liability is limited to the amounts actually paid by the user during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

In the event of a breach by Verdictia Inc. of its confidentiality or data security obligations directly attributable to Verdictia Inc., Verdictia Inc. will cooperate with the affected user, provide notice within the time required by applicable law and take reasonable corrective measures. Verdictia Inc.'s liability in such a case remains subject to the caps and exclusions set out in this section, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

12. Intellectual property

Verdictia's analysis methods, interface, algorithms, system prompts, taxonomies, scoring models, templates, workflows, output models and marks are the exclusive property of Verdictia Inc. and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Documents submitted by the user remain the user's exclusive property. Analysis outputs generated from those documents may be used by the user for the user's own purposes. Verdictia Inc. retains all of its methods, know-how, software and technical components independently of documents or outputs specific to the user.

12.1 Commercial terms

Applicable fees are those agreed in the written agreement, order form or pricing page in effect at the time of subscription. Unless otherwise stated, fees are billed in advance, in Canadian dollars, and are non-refundable except as expressly provided in these terms or in a separate written agreement.

Fees are stated exclusive of applicable taxes. The user is responsible for all taxes, duties or levies applicable to use of the service, excluding taxes on Verdictia Inc.'s income.

Unless terminated in accordance with these terms before the expiry date, subscriptions automatically renew for an equivalent period under the same pricing conditions, unless written notice of non-renewal is sent at least thirty (30) days before expiry or otherwise agreed in writing.

Any amount not paid when due may bear interest at the applicable legal rate. Verdictia Inc. may suspend access to the service after written notice remains uncured for ten (10) business days.

The user may terminate a subscription in accordance with the applicable agreement. If termination occurs during a prepaid period, no refund is provided except under a separate written agreement or mandatory law. Pilot or free trial access ends when the agreed period expires, without renewal obligation or refund.

13. Service changes

Verdictia may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the service, with reasonable notice to active users where a material change may affect their use. Where reasonably possible, Verdictia allows affected users to retrieve or delete their documents in accordance with the privacy policy and applicable agreements.

14. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to treat as confidential the other party's non-public information disclosed in connection with use or provision of the service, and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent, except where the information is or becomes public without fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party before disclosure, or must be disclosed by law, court order or competent authority.

Where disclosure is required by law, the receiving party will notify the other party within a reasonable time where legally permitted. The confidentiality obligations in this section survive termination or expiry of these terms for three (3) years.

The user remains solely responsible for complying with any professional or legal confidentiality obligations applicable to documents submitted to the service, including professional secrecy obligations where applicable.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and applicable federal laws of Canada. Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of Montreal, Quebec.
