General questions

Why am I being asked to sign an AI Addendum?

If someone in your organization has requested access to our new AI Assistant feature, we’ll ask your organization’s authorized signatory to sign an AI Addendum.

Our AI Assistant is completely new. It has features we didn’t anticipate when you signed your master services agreement (MSA).

The AI Addendum sets out what you can expect from our AI Assistant and what you can’t.

The AI Addendum is essential, and we don’t allow access to AI Assistant without an AI Addendum being signed.

What is the AI Addendum?

The AI Addendum is an amendment to your contract with Juro. It changes the terms necessary to allow us to provide AI Assistant to you.

Why won’t you negotiate the AI Addendum?

We’ve spent a long time thinking about the AI Addendum and the terms required to offer AI Assistant at this experimental stage in the development of AI. This is reflected in the AI Addendum. We've also agreed the language with our insurers.

We’ll take feedback on board but - at this stage - we can’t offer alternative terms.

What will happen to my existing Juro subscription if I don’t want to sign the AI Addendum?

Nothing. You just won’t be able to access AI Assistant or any other AI-enabled features we release.

AI Addendum: clause-by-clause

Letter

The letter part of the AI Addendum is purely mechanical. It explains how the AI Addendum amends your existing contract with Juro.

The letter does three things:

  1. It upgrades your Juro subscription to include our AI Assistant.

  2. It adds our AI terms to your existing MSA. There's more about these below.

  3. It deals with other consequences of the AI Addendum (for example, updating our definition of Agreement to include the AI Addendum).

AI terms

The AI terms apply whenever you use one of our AI-enabled features. We call these AI Features. At the moment, this is just our AI Assistant, but we're busy working on further features that use AI to help you agree contracts faster.

1. Customer Content

The first section deals with Customer Content. Customer Content means anything you provide to the AI Features as input (Input) and anything your receive as an output from any AI Feature (Output).

1.1. The Customer owns Customer Content

As between you and Juro, you own your Customer Content.

That means Juro won't try to assert ownership over Customer Content.

This doesn't mean that all Customer Content is capable of being owned. For example, some jurisdictions require works to have a human author for intellectual property rights to subsist, and so don't recognise intellectual property in AI-generated works. But we agree that - if there is any intellectual property in the Customer Content - it's yours (not Juro's).

1.2. Juro may not train models using Customer Content

We don't train foundational models for AI using your Customer Content.

Your contracts contain some of your business's most valuable information. Lawyers at your business also have professional duties of confidentiality. So we made a choice early on that we would not use your Customer Content to train AI. Instead, we partner with market-leading technology providers to use highly sophisticated large language models trained on general datasets. That way you can use our AI Features confident in the knowledge that your confidential information remains secret.

Our technology providers may review your Inputs and Outputs to identify potential abuse or harm, but they have agreed not to train their models using that data.

1.3. Similar output is not Customer Content

Generative AI is predictive, and so the models we use may produce highly similar outputs for other customers. Outputs for other Juro customers are not Customer Content, and so you may not assert that you own those outputs.

2. Restrictions on use

There are some restrictions on what you can do with our AI Features. These apply in addition to the restrictions already in your MSA. Some of these restrictions reflect requirements from our AI technology providers, and also reflect emerging regulation on AI.

3. Disclaimers

There are some important disclaimers. You must read through these because they affect how you might use our AI Features.

3.1. AI Features make mistakes

This seems obvious, but you must check and correct the Output before using it. Generative AI is predictive and - like all predictions - some of them might not turn out to be correct.

You can reduce the likelihood of mistakes by taking time to experiment with your prompts and by reading about best practice for prompting. Most users of AI Assistant can significantly enhance the accuracy of the results they achieve by becoming more skilled at prompting.

Our AI Features will still sometimes make mistakes. It's your job as the user to identify these mistakes and correct them before including them in your documents.

3.2. Warranties are excluded

We don't provide warranties relating to our AI Features.

The quality of your Output depends a great deal on your skill at using the AI Features, and so we can't (for example) say that the accuracy of AI Assistant is X% or Y%.

3.3. Non-infringement remedies are excluded

We don't provide non-infringement remedies for our AI Features.

Juro doesn't produce or train the AI models used in our AI Features. The technology providers who do this won't provide Juro with assurances about intellectual property non-infringement in the way you'd normally expect from traditional SaaS or data tools. This is because large language models are trained on extremely large datasets compiled from trillions of data points, not all of which are verified to have been licensed for that purpose.

For this reason, Juro isn't able to pass those assurances on to its own customers using AI Features or any output from them. You must be willing to accept the risks inherent with AI Features in order to use them. Organizations that do accept these risks do so in exchange for the productivity upsides that come with using AI Features.

4. Termination and suspension of AI Features

This section describes when Juro can permanently or temporarily stop you from accessing AI Features. You aren't entitled to any credit or refund of fees if this happens. Broadly, these reflect requirements from our technology providers.

Permanent termination of AI Features

We can permanently remove your access to AI Features if:

  • You materially breach our Agreement.

  • Our relationship with our AI technology providers changes, so that we can no longer provide the AI Features on acceptable terms.

  • We have to do so to comply with the law or a government request.

Suspension of AI Features

We can temporarily suspend your access to AI Features if:

  • You breach our Agreement.

  • Your use poses a security risk.

  • We think you're using the AI Features for fraud or in a way that exposes someone to liability.

We must restore your access once the issue has been resolved.
