Last updated: April 10, 2026

1. Agreement

By downloading, installing, or using Lex Redactus ("the Software"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Software. These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Redactus Legal Inc, a Florida corporation ("we," "us," "our," "Company").

2. Description of Service

Lex Redactus is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that detects and redacts personally identifiable information (PII) from legal documents. The Software processes all documents locally on your device. No document content is transmitted to our servers or any third party.

The Software requires a valid license key and periodic online validation to verify your subscription status. This validation transmits only your license key and device identifier — never document content.

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and a valid paid subscription, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on up to two (2) devices you own or control, for your personal or professional use.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, or distribute the Software
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software
  • Sublicense, lease, or rent the Software to third parties
  • Share your license key with others
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent license validation

4. Subscriptions and Payment

Lex Redactus is offered as a subscription service. Plans are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. Prices are listed on our website and may change with 30 days' notice.

Free trial: New subscriptions include a 14-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial period. If you cancel before the trial ends, no payment is collected.

Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal or by contacting support. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Grace period: If a payment fails, your license remains active for 14 days while we retry the charge. After the grace period, your license is deactivated until payment is resolved.

5. Offline Operation

The Software is designed to operate offline. After initial activation, the Software performs periodic license checks (typically daily when online). The Software will continue to function offline for the duration of your current billing period plus the 14-day grace period.

6. Intellectual Property and Ownership

Our Intellectual Property: The Software, including its code, design, documentation, and all related intellectual property, is and remains the exclusive property of Redactus Legal Inc. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Your Data and Output: You retain full ownership of all documents you process, all redacted output, all entity maps, and any other data generated by the Software on your device. We claim no rights, license, or interest in your data or output. Because the Software operates locally, we have no access to and no possession of your data at any time.

Feedback: If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Software, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use such feedback to improve the Software without obligation to you.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Software only for lawful purposes consistent with its intended function — the detection and redaction of personally identifiable information in documents. You may not use the Software to:

  • Conceal, destroy, or alter evidence in connection with any legal proceeding, investigation, or regulatory inquiry
  • Facilitate the obstruction of justice or any violation of applicable law
  • Process documents you do not have the legal right to access or modify
  • Circumvent any legal obligation to disclose or preserve information, including litigation holds, discovery obligations, or regulatory record-keeping requirements
  • Assist in the commission of fraud, identity theft, or any criminal activity

Violation of this section constitutes grounds for immediate license termination without refund.

8. Data and Privacy

We are committed to your privacy. The Software processes all documents entirely on your local device. We do not collect, transmit, store, or have access to any document content, redacted output, or entity maps you create.

The only data transmitted to our servers is: license key, device identifier, device name, and basic usage telemetry (app version, activation events). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SOFTWARE WILL DETECT ALL PII IN ALL DOCUMENTS; (B) REDACTION WILL BE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, OR ERROR-FREE; (C) THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET ANY SPECIFIC LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS; OR (D) THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE FREE OF DEFECTS.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SOFTWARE IS A TOOL TO ASSIST WITH DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL LEGAL JUDGMENT. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING ALL REDACTED OUTPUT BEFORE SHARING, FILING, OR OTHERWISE RELYING UPON IT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REDACTUS LEGAL INC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM INCOMPLETE OR INACCURATE PII DETECTION, UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION, LOSS OF DATA OR REVENUE, COURT SANCTIONS, REGULATORY FINES, OR REPUTATIONAL HARM.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Redactus Legal Inc, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Software, including any reliance on its output; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or professional obligation; (d) any claim by a third party resulting from documents you processed, redacted, or distributed using the Software; or (e) your failure to review redacted output before use.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of these Terms.

12. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at legal@lexredactus.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Manatee County, Florida.

Exceptions: Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights. Small claims within the jurisdiction of small claims court in Manatee County may be brought there instead.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND REDACTUS LEGAL INC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

13. Limitation on Claims

Any claim arising under or related to these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the event giving rise to the claim. Claims brought after this period are permanently barred.

14. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service outages, cyberattacks, or labor disputes. If a force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate these Terms upon written notice.

15. Termination

We may terminate your license immediately if you violate these Terms, including the Acceptable Use provisions. Upon termination, you must uninstall the Software and destroy all copies. Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16 survive termination.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under Section 12, the exclusive venue shall be the state or federal courts located in Manatee County, Florida.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Redactus Legal Inc regarding the Software.

19. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Software after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Software and cancel your subscription.
