Terms of Service

Beta Limitations

During the beta period, the Platform is intended for use with routine commercial non-disclosure agreements only. The Platform is not designed or intended for use in connection with matters involving extraordinary confidentiality requirements, including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, litigation, regulatory investigations, or government contracts. Use of the Platform for such matters during the beta period is at the user's sole risk. Final makes no representations regarding the suitability of the Platform for high-stakes or mission-critical agreements. Final does not monitor or verify the nature of matters negotiated on the Platform.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

Final ("Platform") is operated by Final Contracts LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" includes that entity and its authorized representatives, including outside counsel acting on the entity's behalf. We may update these Terms as described in the Modifications section.

The Platform is currently offered for negotiations between organizations based in the United States. Each user, whether an account holder or a participant accessing a negotiation through an invitation link, represents that the organization on whose behalf it uses the Platform has its principal place of business in the United States, that neither it nor that organization is subject to U.S. sanctions or named on any U.S. government restricted-party list, and that the information it provides to Final is accurate and current. You are responsible for having the right to share the contact information of the people you invite with Final, and for obtaining any consent that sharing requires.

2. Platform Description

Final is a bilateral contract negotiation platform for non-disclosure agreements ("NDAs") and other contract types as they become available. Both parties upload their respective templates; the Platform uses AI to prepare a merged draft (a "Finalist") based on the templates submitted and common market practice. Both parties may approve or submit revisions for up to three AI-assisted rounds, after which the Platform transitions to direct exchange mode (or earlier, as described in Section 8).

Final is a negotiation facilitator, not a legal advisor. It does not provide legal advice, does not represent either party, and does not guarantee any particular outcome. Final reviews both parties' inputs with equal consideration, applying common market practice as a neutral methodology. Every decision to approve, modify, or reject any provision remains with the parties and their legal counsel.

3. Accounts and Access

Initiating parties must create an account to start negotiations and are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for all activity under their account. Counterparties access the Platform via a secure token link, scoped to a single negotiation and a specific recipient and valid until it expires, without creating an account; they are bound by these Terms upon accessing the Platform through an invitation link. Subscribers may add team members to a negotiation; team members access the Platform by invitation and are likewise bound by these Terms.

4. Information Sharing and Confidentiality

Final is a shared platform where both parties work toward a final document. Some of what you provide is shared with the other party and some is not:

• Your starting template is reviewed by the Platform's AI and made available to the other party for download. A revised markup you submit in a later round is used to prepare the next version and is not shared with the other party during AI review rounds; if the negotiation moves to direct exchange, the exchange opens with one side's most recent markup, which may be yours.
• The other party's starting template is made available to you for download. Later-round markups are not exchanged in AI rounds. In direct exchange mode, documents are exchanged directly between the parties.
• Chat messages you post are visible to all team members on both sides. Chat is not read by the Platform's AI and is not used to prepare any version.
• Each party receives the prepared version, a tracked-changes document against that party's own previous version (their template in round 1), and a summary of changes prepared for that party's side. The other party's tracked-changes document and their unsuccessful requests are not shown to you during AI review rounds. If the negotiation moves to direct exchange, documents are exchanged directly between the parties and reflect each party's own requests.
• Your response to a version (whether you approved or submitted a revision) is not disclosed to the other party unless both parties approve the same version.

The Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Final, its operators, or its AI systems. Communications on the Platform are not privileged.

5. Subscription and Billing

Your first negotiation is free and requires no credit card. Paid subscription plans are offered at introductory beta rates: $149 per month (Tier 1, up to 5 negotiations per month), $349 per month (Tier 2, up to 15 negotiations per month), and $549 per month (Tier 3, up to 25 negotiations per month). These introductory rates may increase as the Platform adds features, on 30 days prior notice to existing subscribers. A negotiation counts toward your monthly total only when Final prepares the first Finalist. The free credit is used on the same event. Invitations that are pending, declined, or abandoned do not count, and unused negotiations do not roll over. Counterparties pay nothing and need no account. Subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe. You may cancel at any time; access continues through the end of your current billing period. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first paid month: if you are not satisfied for any reason, email support@finalcontracts.com within 30 days of your first subscription charge and we will refund the amount you actually paid. The guarantee is available once per organization and applies to the first paid month only. Upon refund, your subscription is cancelled; completed and active negotiations are unaffected. Apart from that guarantee, refunds are not provided for partial months. When you reach your tier limit mid-month, you will be notified and may upgrade to continue or wait until your next billing cycle; there are no surprise overage charges.

6. AI Output and Training

The Platform uses Anthropic's Claude AI model to prepare Finalists. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, data submitted through its API is not used to train Anthropic's models. Final does not use your identifiable templates, clause wording, or deal details to train AI models, and Final does not train or fine-tune any artificial-intelligence model. Final may use de-identified and aggregated data, not attributable to you, your company, or your negotiation, to improve the Platform's synthesis methodology and systems.

AI outputs may contain errors or omissions and do not constitute legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing all Platform outputs before approving them. The summary of changes is a navigational guide only; the tracked-changes document is the authoritative record of what changed. Consult qualified legal counsel before entering into any agreement.

7. Approval and Execution

When both parties approve a version on the Platform, the approved version is confirmed and made available for download as both PDF and .docx. Approval on Final does not form any obligation between the parties or constitute execution of the approved agreement. The Platform does not currently offer electronic signature; parties execute the approved agreement through their own signature processes.

8. Rounds and Direct Exchange

The Platform prepares AI-generated Finalists for up to three Finalist rounds per negotiation. The Platform transitions to direct exchange mode after three rounds, or earlier when neither party's response provides new material for AI review. In direct exchange mode, parties continue exchanging documents directly through the Platform without AI synthesis. The Platform assigns the first markup based on its analysis of the parties' positions in the final AI round. The Platform forwards the opening markup automatically and may attach Platform-generated comparison documents; these are mechanical renditions, not AI review. Documents exchanged in direct exchange mode are not reviewed or modified by the Platform's AI.

9. Intellectual Property

Your Content. You retain all rights in your templates, documents, and any content you upload. By uploading content, you grant Final a limited license to process, analyze, and use your content solely to provide the Platform's services to you and the other party in the negotiation.

Platform Output. Platform-generated outputs (Finalists, summaries of changes, tracked-changes documents) are derived from both parties' templates and the Platform's analysis, including compromise terms that appear verbatim in neither template; neither party claims exclusive ownership of them, and both parties may use, modify, and incorporate them into their negotiations and agreements.

License to Use the Platform. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, Final Contracts LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Platform for your own internal business purposes during your subscription term. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Platform IP. The Platform itself, including its design, functionality, and underlying technology, is the intellectual property of Final Contracts LLC.

Restrictions. You may not:

• (a) resell, sublicense, or make the Platform available to any third party, except counterparties and team members you invite to a negotiation;
• (b) use the Platform or its outputs to develop, train, or improve any competing product or artificial-intelligence model;
• (c) copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Platform;
• (d) access the Platform for benchmarking or competitive analysis;
• (e) circumvent usage limits, access controls, or the free-NDA limitation;
• (f) use the Platform on behalf of an organization based outside the United States, or while subject to U.S. sanctions or named on a U.S. government restricted-party list; or
• (f) use the Platform in violation of applicable law.

10. Privacy and Data Retention

When a negotiation ends (by agreement, cancellation, or a declined invitation), it enters a 30-day deletion window; negotiations with no activity for 90 days are treated as abandoned and placed on the same clock. After 30 days, the Platform permanently deletes the uploaded templates, every AI-prepared draft and tracked-changes version, the final document, all chat messages, and the verbatim text of negotiated provisions, from both file storage and our database. What remains is account and participant identity, negotiation metadata (status and dates), and the audit trail. Substantive documents are also delivered by email throughout the negotiation, so the Platform is not intended to be your sole record. We do not sell your personal information or your documents, and we share data only with the service providers needed to operate the Platform. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.

11. Document Upload Requirements

The Platform accepts .docx files only; PDF files are not accepted for upload. Upload clean documents with all blanks and brackets filled in for the transaction. During AI review rounds, if a document contains tracked changes or comments, the Platform alerts you and, with your confirmation, accepts all tracked changes and removes comments before processing so that internal markup is not shared with the other party. In direct exchange mode, documents you upload are delivered to the other party exactly as uploaded, including any tracked changes and comments.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." Final Contracts LLC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

12.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Final Contracts LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

12.3 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.4, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF Final Contracts LLC FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO Final Contracts LLC IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

12.4 FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR DATA SECURITY, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF Final Contracts LLC SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) TEN THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($10,000) OR (ii) THREE TIMES THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO Final Contracts LLC IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12.5 The warranty disclaimers and liability limitations in this Section apply, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to Final Contracts LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents, including claims asserted against them personally.

12.6 Final Contracts LLC is not responsible for the outcome of any negotiation conducted on the Platform, including the terms of any agreement reached, any failure to reach agreement, or any consequences of entering into an agreement based on Platform outputs.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Final Contracts LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents from any third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law.

14. Dispute Resolution

14.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

14.2 Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days after written notice of the dispute.

14.3 If the dispute is not resolved within that period, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Pennsylvania. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

14.4 Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction.

14.5 Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court, and the remainder of this Section, including the agreement to arbitrate all other claims, remains in effect.

15. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us; your account settings manage your subscription. Final Contracts LLC may terminate or suspend your account for violation of these Terms or for any other reason on 30 days notice; in the event of termination for cause, no refund is provided. Upon termination, your access to the Platform ceases, active negotiations continue for the other party's benefit, and the data retention and deletion provisions above continue to apply.

16. Modifications to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and, for subscribers, by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

17. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Final Contracts LLC regarding the Platform. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent; Final Contracts LLC may assign its rights without restriction.
