Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Motion Granted website and services ("Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Motion Granted, LLC ("Motion Granted," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

Motion Granted provides AI-assisted legal drafting support to licensed attorneys. Our platform uses a 14-phase workflow pipeline to generate draft legal motions, memoranda, supporting documents, and related materials based on information and instructions provided by the ordering attorney. Our pipeline includes human checkpoints, citation integrity verification, and quality gates at multiple stages. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or representation. See our Disclaimer for important information about the nature of our services.

2.1 Use of AI Technology

Motion Granted uses artificial intelligence (AI) systems as drafting tools to assist in the preparation of legal documents. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that:

• AI systems are used to generate drafts of legal documents through a multi-phase workflow pipeline
• AI systems assist with legal research, citation verification, and quality checking
• All AI-generated content passes through quality gates and citation integrity verification
• AI is a tool that enhances, but does not replace, human professional judgment

2.2 No Guarantee of Outcome

While we strive to provide high-quality work product, we make no guarantee regarding the outcome of any legal proceeding. The use of AI technology does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or success. You are responsible for verifying all work product before use.

2.3 AI Disclosure Compliance

Certain jurisdictions may require disclosure of AI assistance in legal documents filed with courts. You are solely responsible for determining applicable disclosure requirements, making any required disclosures, and complying with all applicable rules of professional conduct regarding AI use. Our filing packages include an AI disclosure page option and jurisdiction-specific guidance in the Attorney Instruction Sheet, but the decision and responsibility to include disclosures remains with you.

3. User Eligibility

Our Services are available only to licensed attorneys in good standing with their state bar(s). By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are a licensed attorney authorized to practice law in at least one United States jurisdiction and that all information you provide is accurate and complete. We reserve the right to verify your bar status and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet this requirement.

4. Account Registration

To use our Services, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
• Maintain the security of your password and account
• Accept responsibility for all activities under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use

5. Service Tiers & Pricing

5.1 Motion Tiers

Motion types are organized into four tiers based on complexity. Pricing starts at the amounts listed below and may vary based on specific motion requirements:

• Tier A ($299+) — Procedural motions: extensions of time, continuances, pro hac vice admissions, motions to withdraw, and similar procedural filings
• Tier B ($499+) — Standard substantive motions: motions to compel discovery, motions to dismiss, demurrers, motions to strike, and similar substantive filings
• Tier C ($799+) — Complex motions: anti-SLAPP motions, motions in limine, motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV), complex discovery motions, and similar multi-issue filings
• Tier D ($1,499+) — Highly complex and dispositive motions: motions for summary judgment, motions for summary adjudication, preliminary injunctions, temporary restraining orders, class certification motions, Daubert/expert exclusion motions, habeas corpus petitions, and similar major dispositive filings

5.2 Expedited Processing Fees

Expedited delivery is available at additional cost applied as a multiplier to the base tier price:

• 72-Hour Expedited: +25% of base price
• 48-Hour Expedited: +50% of base price

Expedited availability depends on current capacity. We reserve the right to decline expedited requests when capacity does not permit timely completion.

5.3 Additional Fees

Each order includes one round of revisions at no additional charge. Additional revision rounds beyond the included revision may incur additional fees, which will be disclosed before the revision work begins. No additional charges will be applied without your prior approval.

5.4 Jurisdiction-Based Pricing

Pricing may vary based on the jurisdiction of filing. State-specific formatting requirements, local court rules, and complexity factors may affect the final price displayed at checkout. All pricing, including any jurisdiction-based adjustments, is disclosed before payment is collected. Price changes do not affect orders already placed and paid for.

6. Turnaround Times

6.1 Standard and Expedited Delivery

Estimated turnaround times by tier under standard delivery:

• Tier A: 2–3 business days
• Tier B: 3–5 business days
• Tier C: 5–7 business days
• Tier D: 10–14 business days

Expedited delivery (72-hour or 48-hour) reduces the turnaround for all tiers. Delivery times are estimates and not guarantees. We will make reasonable efforts to meet deadlines but are not liable for delays beyond our control. If we determine we cannot meet your stated filing deadline, we will notify you before processing begins.

6.2 Attorney Review Checkpoint

Upon completion of the drafting process, your motion package will be made available for your review. You will have 14 days to review, approve, request changes, or cancel. If no action is taken within 14 days, a final 7-day notice will be sent. If no action is taken within the full 21-day review period, the order will be automatically cancelled with a 50% refund.

6.3 Conflict Check

All orders are subject to a conflict check before processing. If a potential conflict is identified, your order will be placed under review and you will not be charged until the review is resolved. We reserve the right to decline any order due to conflicts of interest.

7. Attorney Responsibilities

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You are responsible for supervising and directing all work product
• You must review and approve all drafts before use or filing
• You are responsible for verifying accuracy of all facts and citations
• You bear full professional responsibility for anything filed with a court
• You will comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct, including AI disclosure obligations
• You will maintain confidentiality of your client information
• You will make all strategic and substantive decisions regarding any filing

8. Intellectual Property & Work Product

8.1 Pre-Delivery

Prior to delivery and full payment, all draft work product, intermediate outputs, workflow data, and AI-generated content remain the property of Motion Granted. You may not use, distribute, or file any materials that have not been formally delivered through our platform.

8.2 Post-Delivery

Upon full payment and delivery, you own the final work product delivered to you. You may use, modify, and file the work product as you see fit. This ownership transfer applies to the delivered documents themselves, not to Motion Granted's underlying technology, workflow processes, prompt engineering, or platform software.

8.3 Platform Improvement License

You grant Motion Granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use anonymized, de-identified metadata (such as motion type, tier, jurisdiction, and aggregate quality metrics) for the purpose of improving our platform and services. This license does not include access to your case materials, attorney communications, client information, or any personally identifiable information. Your case data is never used for AI model training.

9. Refunds & Cancellations

9.1 Status-Based Refund Schedule

Refund amounts are determined by the stage of work completion at the time of cancellation request. Our phase-based refund schedule is as follows:

• Before work begins (order submitted, not yet started): Full refund (100%)
• Phases I–IV (Intake through Authority Research): 75% refund
• Phases V–VIII (Drafting through Revisions): 50% refund
• After Phase IX (Quality check complete): 25% refund
• After delivery (Phase X complete / delivered): No refund (satisfaction guarantee applies)

9.2 Phase Determination

The applicable refund percentage is determined by the last completed phase at the time we receive and process your cancellation request. Phase status is tracked automatically by our workflow system and is visible in your order dashboard. If a phase is in progress (but not completed) at the time of cancellation, the refund percentage for the prior completed phase applies.

9.3 Special Cancellation Circumstances

• Conflict-related cancellations: If an order is cancelled due to a conflict of interest detected during our conflict check process, a full refund (100%) will be issued and no charge will be applied.
• Timeout cancellations: Orders that remain unreviewed for 21 days after draft delivery will be automatically cancelled with a 50% refund.
• System errors: If an order cannot be completed due to a platform error or system failure, a full refund will be issued.

9.4 How Refunds Are Processed

Refunds are issued to the original payment method via Stripe. Processing times vary by financial institution but typically complete within 5–10 business days. You will receive email confirmation when the refund is initiated.

10. Data Handling & Retention

10.1 Data Processing

All case materials are processed through encrypted channels. Your data is never used for AI model training. Our AI processing services operate under commercial API agreements that contractually guarantee inputs are not used for model training. Each order is processed in an isolated environment with no cross-client data sharing. We will not disclose your case information to third parties except as required by law.

10.2 Data Retention

Order data and associated work product are retained for 365 days following order completion or cancellation, after which they are permanently and irreversibly deleted from all systems including backups.

Extended retention: You may request an extended retention period of up to 2 years (730 days total) by contacting support before the standard 365-day period expires. Extended retention is available at no additional cost and must be requested per order.

Early deletion: You may request earlier deletion at any time by contacting support. Early deletion requests are processed within 30 days and are irreversible.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MOTION GRANTED'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or our Services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.

13. Modification of Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on our website at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
