Terms of Use for Docketizer
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Astrial Realty, LLC dba Astrial Foundry ("Astrial Foundry"), together with the developers, owners, distributors, licensors, partners, and affiliates of the Docketizer App (collectively, "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Docketizer software application (the "App"), the Docketizer account and licensing service, the Docketizer.com website, and any related services or materials (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, signing in to, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all provisions of these Terms, you must not install, access, or use the App.
2. Scope and Modifications
These Terms apply to all versions of the App, whether licensed, trial-based, free, or paid, and whether downloaded directly from Docketizer.com or obtained through the Apple App Store, the Mac App Store, Google Play, the Microsoft Store, Flathub, or any other authorized or unauthorized distribution channel. We may modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted within the App or on our website and will be effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
3. Grant of License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and to a valid trial, subscription, firm seat, or access grant on your Docketizer account, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the App on up to five (5) devices that you own or control and that are signed in to your account, solely for personal or authorized professional use. Signing in on a sixth device signs out the least recently used device. This license does not grant any ownership or intellectual property interest in the App or its components.
4. Restrictions
You agree not to:
- Modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or internal workings of the App
- Circumvent, bypass, or disable any licensing, trial enforcement, security, or authentication mechanism
- Distribute, sublicense, lease, sell, share account credentials for, or commercially exploit the App without our express written consent
- Use the App to develop a competing product or service
- Use the App to place an unreasonable load on any court or clerk website, including by running multiple copies against the same website at once or by altering the App's request pacing
- Represent any document produced by the App as an official, certified, or clerk-issued copy of a court record
- Violate any applicable law, court rule, or regulation, or the terms of use of any court or clerk website, in connection with your use of the App
- Use the App in a manner that infringes upon the intellectual property or privacy rights of others
5. Court Records and Third-Party Websites
The App retrieves publicly available court records from the websites of the courts and clerks you select, using the case number you enter, on your behalf and at your direction. Those websites are operated by third parties and are subject to their own terms, notices, and availability. You are solely responsible for your use of court records and for compliance with any terms or notices of the court or clerk whose website you access. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee the content, accuracy, completeness, or availability of any court record or website. Court websites may change, restrict, or remove access at any time, and the App may stop working with a court without notice. The App removes the clerk's "not an official copy" stamp and sets document properties in the files it saves; the resulting files are not official or certified copies and must not be presented as such. The App is not a docketing, calendaring, or deadline service, does not provide legal advice, and must not be relied upon as the sole source of notice of any filing, order, hearing, or deadline. Always verify against the court's own records.
6. Trial, Subscriptions and Licensing
- Account. Most features of the App require a Docketizer account identified by your email address. You are responsible for keeping access to that email address secure and for all activity on your account.
- Free trial. The App may include a time-limited free trial of ninety (90) days (offered as a three-month introductory period on Apple's stores). One trial is available per person, per account, and per device; trials obtained through a store are governed by that store's terms. We may change or withdraw trial offers at any time.
- Subscriptions. Paid access is sold as an auto-renewing subscription. Subscriptions purchased in the Apple App Store, the Mac App Store, or Google Play are billed, renewed, cancelled, and refunded by Apple or Google under their terms. Subscriptions purchased on Docketizer.com are processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy (a Stripe company), which handles checkout, taxes, invoices, renewals, and cancellation through its billing portal; refunds follow our published refund policy and applicable law. A subscription renews at the then-current price until cancelled. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. A subscription bought in any channel unlocks the App on every platform when you sign in with the same account.
- Firm licenses. A firm or organization may purchase a number of seats. The firm's administrator assigns seats by email address and may reassign or revoke them. Each seat is one person's access and may not be shared. The firm is responsible for its members' compliance with these Terms.
- Access grants. We may, at our sole discretion, grant lifetime or other access to specific accounts without charge. Such grants are personal, non-transferable, may be limited to the major version of the App current when granted, and may be revoked at any time.
- Enforcement. Trial and licensing status may be enforced using local or remote mechanisms, including system identifiers, device names, usage logs, timestamps, and file-based or cryptographic data. You agree not to interfere with, modify, or attempt to reset any licensing or trial enforcement component. We may terminate or restrict access to the App if we detect tampering, unauthorized use, or violation of licensing terms. The App requires a periodic connection to our licensing service; it continues to work offline for a limited grace period, after which it requires a connection to verify your license.
- Versions. An active subscription or seat covers every version of the App released while it is active. There is no guarantee or obligation that a future version of the App, support for any court, or continued development will be provided; availability of future versions, updates, patches, enhancements, or court support is at our sole discretion.
7. Ownership and Intellectual Property
The App and all associated intellectual property, trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, design, text, and graphics are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Court records retrieved by the App are public records and are not claimed by us. Third-party open-source components are licensed under their own terms, listed in the App's third-party notices. You are not granted any rights or licenses except as expressly stated in these Terms.
