Terms of Service

The agreement for using settled.biz and the settleD pilot.

Last updated September 24, 2026Effective [Effective date]
These Terms take effect on [Effective date]. They form an agreement between you and [Operating entity]. By using settleD you agree to them. If you use settleD for an organization, you confirm that you're authorized to accept them on its behalf.

1. The service

settleD turns your raw time, mileage and expense records into documents in the format your payer uses, and helps you track them until they're paid. settleD is a finishing tool. It isn't a practice-management system, a law firm, a legal advisor, a filer or a signer.

2. Invite-only pilot

settleD is in an invite-only pilot. Features may change, be interrupted, or be withdrawn. Templates exist only for the payers and jurisdictions we've verified, and a profession listed on our site isn't a promise that its forms are supported. We'll tell you what's verified for your work before you rely on it.

3. Your account

Keep your sign-in secure and tell us promptly about any unauthorized use. You're responsible for activity under your account. Accounts are personal. Don't share them.

4. Your responsibilities

  • You review, certify and file. Every document settleD produces is a draft until you release it. You're solely responsible for its accuracy and completeness, and for any certification you sign, including one made under penalty of perjury.
  • You'll use settleD in line with the law, the court rules and orders that apply to you, and your confidentiality obligations. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
  • You'll keep your own backups and exports. During the pilot, your workspace is stored only on your device.

5. Your data

You own your Customer Data. You give us permission to host, process and display it only to provide settleD to you, as described in the Data Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information about you.

6. Fees

Pricing is being set with the pilot group. No fee applies unless you agree to it in writing, or in the product before you're charged. If fees apply, they're billed in advance and are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice of any price change.

7. Our property

settleD, including its software, templates, designs, name and logo, is owned by its owners and licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use settleD for your own professional work while these Terms are in effect. Don't copy, resell, reverse engineer (except where the law allows), or build a competing product from settleD. If you send us feedback, we may use it without owing you anything.

8. Guides and automation

settleD may include an in-product guide (TY.sn) that explains features, runs tours and drafts support replies. Guides can't sign, approve, release, submit, pay or send anything. See AI & Agents.

9. Third-party services

Exports made for other software (for example, accounting or practice-management tools) are provided as a convenience. Verify the first import into each destination, because we haven't tested them against every live system. We aren't responsible for third-party services.

10. Disclaimers

settleD is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that any payer, court or agency will accept a document, or that you'll be paid in any amount or by any time. settleD doesn't provide legal, tax or accounting advice. See the Disclaimer.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for all claims relating to settleD is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose and (b) US $100. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they apply only as far as the law permits.

12. Indemnity

You'll defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Customer Data, the documents you release or file, or your breach of these Terms or the law.

13. Suspension and termination

You can stop using settleD at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if the pilot ends. We'll give you reasonable notice and a chance to export where we can. Sections 5, 7 and 10–15 survive termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing-law state], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in [Venue], and both parties consent to those courts' jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, each party agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after written notice.

15. General

These Terms, together with the policies they link to, are the entire agreement about settleD. If any part of them is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Notices to us go to wolf@ward.bz and [Notice address]. We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we'll give 30 days' notice, and continuing to use settleD after the change means you accept it.
