Chronodocs Terms of Service

Last Revised: March 16, 2026

Please also review our Privacy Policy.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Chronodocs, LLC (“Chronodocs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Chronodocs website, application, software, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, clicking to accept, or otherwise indicating assent, you agree to these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a law firm, company, or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” includes that organization.

1. The Service

Chronodocs is a software platform designed to help users organize, review, annotate, and present timeline- and document-based information. The Service may include features for uploading, storing, linking, annotating, filtering, sharing, exporting, presenting, and collaborating around documents and timeline events.

Chronodocs is a technology provider only. Chronodocs is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, strategy, or representation, and does not act as your attorney, paralegal, records custodian, litigation support provider, or agent unless expressly agreed in a separate written agreement signed by Chronodocs.

Use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Chronodocs, between your clients and Chronodocs, or between any third party and Chronodocs.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract and are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law.

The Service is intended primarily for users located in the United States unless Chronodocs expressly states otherwise.

3. Accounts and Access

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and keep that information reasonably updated.

You must promptly notify Chronodocs if you believe your account or credentials have been compromised or used without authorization.

Chronodocs may, in its sole discretion and without liability, refuse access to the Service, impose limits on use, suspend accounts, or terminate access if we reasonably believe: (a) you have violated these Terms; (b) your use creates security, legal, reputational, or operational risk; (c) suspension is necessary to protect the Service, Chronodocs, or other users; (d) we are investigating suspected misconduct; or (e) suspension or termination is required by law, a third-party provider, or a governmental request.

4. Free Use, Paid Plans, Billing, and Cancellation

Chronodocs may offer free plans, trials, promotional access, feature-limited use, or beta features. We may modify, limit, or discontinue those offerings at any time without liability.

Paid subscriptions, pricing, billing intervals, included features, storage limits, file limits, usage limits, and plan restrictions will be described at the time of purchase, on the pricing page, or in the Service.

Unless otherwise stated, paid subscriptions automatically renew for successive billing periods until canceled.

You authorize Chronodocs and its payment processors to charge all applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts to your selected payment method.

If payment cannot be completed, if your account becomes past due, or if our payment processor reports a billing issue, Chronodocs may suspend, downgrade, or terminate your access to paid features without liability.

You may cancel your subscription at any time, and cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current billing period unless otherwise stated. Except as required by law or expressly stated by Chronodocs in writing, fees are non-refundable and no partial refunds, credits, or prorations will be given.

Chronodocs may change pricing, plan features, or plan limits prospectively by providing notice through the Service, by email, on the website, or by other reasonable means. Continued use of the applicable paid Service after the effective date of the change constitutes acceptance of the updated pricing or plan terms.

5. Your Content

“User Content” means files, documents, images, text, annotations, notes, labels, metadata, timeline events, comments, and other content that you or your authorized users upload, create, store, transmit, synchronize, or otherwise submit through the Service.

As between you and Chronodocs, you retain ownership of your User Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to Chronodocs.

You represent, warrant, and covenant that: (a) you own or control the necessary rights to your User Content, or otherwise have sufficient authority to submit, share, host, process, and use it through the Service; (b) your User Content and use of the Service do not and will not violate any law, court order, rule of professional conduct, confidentiality obligation, privacy right, intellectual property right, contractual duty, or other third-party right; and (c) you are solely responsible for obtaining all permissions, consents, notices, waivers, and authorizations needed for your use of the Service and your submission of User Content.

You are solely responsible for your User Content, your legal and factual assertions, your legal work product, your matter strategy, your decisions regarding privilege and confidentiality, and your use of the Service in any legal, business, or personal matter.

Chronodocs has no obligation to review User Content, but we may remove, disable access to, or refuse to process User Content if we believe it may violate law, these Terms, third-party rights, or the security or integrity of the Service.

6. License You Grant to Chronodocs

You grant Chronodocs a non-exclusive, limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, adapt, cache, and otherwise use your User Content solely as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure, maintain, support, improve, and administer the Service for you and your authorized users, and to comply with law and enforce our agreements.

This license includes the right to use subprocessors, infrastructure providers, storage providers, payment processors, email providers, analytics providers, and other service providers acting on Chronodocs’s behalf as reasonably necessary to provide and support the Service.

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, Chronodocs does not acquire ownership of your User Content.

If you provide suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, ideas, or other feedback regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Chronodocs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, display, perform, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any lawful purpose without restriction, attribution, payment, or obligation to you. Do not submit confidential or sensitive information as Feedback unless you are willing to allow Chronodocs to use it in this manner.

7. Chronodocs Property and Service License

As between you and Chronodocs, the Service, including its software, code, design, interfaces, workflows, branding, documentation, visual elements, and related materials, is owned by Chronodocs and/or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Chronodocs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Service for your internal professional, business, or personal purposes.

Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Service is transferred to you. The Service is licensed, not sold.

8. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any other person to:

(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Service, except to the limited extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
(b) copy, modify, create derivative works from, mirror, frame, scrape, republish, or exploit the Service except as expressly allowed by these Terms;
(c) access or use the Service to build, train, benchmark, or improve a competing product or service;
(d) bypass, disable, or circumvent security measures, authentication requirements, access controls, usage limits, or technical restrictions of the Service;
(e) upload, transmit, or distribute malware, malicious code, harmful content, or unlawful material;
(f) use the Service in violation of any law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or professional responsibility obligation;
(g) interfere with, disrupt, degrade, or impair the integrity, security, availability, or performance of the Service;
(h) allow unauthorized persons to access the Service through your account or workspace;
(i) use automated means to access the Service in a manner that imposes unreasonable load or is not expressly permitted by Chronodocs; or
(j) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the Service.

9. Collaboration, Client Access, and Third Parties

You are responsible for deciding whether and how to invite clients, colleagues, staff, contractors, experts, vendors, or other users into a workspace, project, or matter within the Service.

If you permit third parties, including clients, to access materials through the Service, you are solely responsible for ensuring that such access is appropriate, authorized, and consistent with your legal, ethical, contractual, confidentiality, and privilege obligations.

By using shared or collaborative features, you understand and agree that authorized workspace or project members may be able to view shared documents, timeline events, annotations, filters, project details, member information, and activity or audit history relating to changes made within the shared workspace or project.

Chronodocs is not responsible for legal strategy, privilege determinations, confidentiality designations, filing decisions, deadlines, evidentiary decisions, records retention choices, or other professional judgments made by you or your users.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service may interoperate with, depend on, or include links to third-party products, services, infrastructure, storage providers, hosting providers, authentication providers, analytics providers, communication providers, and payment processors.

Chronodocs does not control and is not responsible for third-party services, including their availability, performance, security, acts, omissions, data handling, policies, or terms.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms, privacy policies, and fees. Chronodocs is not liable for any loss or damage arising from third-party services or your dealings with third parties.

11. Local-Only and Offline Use

Certain features of the Service may permit local-only, offline, anonymous, or pre-signup use in which content remains stored on your device or in browser storage unless and until you choose to create an account, migrate data, or use hosted features.

For local-only, offline, anonymous, or pre-signup use, you understand that Chronodocs may not receive, host, access, or retain that content unless and until it is transmitted to Chronodocs systems.

You are solely responsible for your own device security, browser storage, backups, export practices, and local data retention. Content stored only on your device or in your browser may be lost if your device is damaged, replaced, reset, shared, compromised, or if browser data is cleared, storage quotas are exceeded, or storage becomes unavailable.

Chronodocs is not responsible for loss, corruption, inaccessibility, or compromise of content stored solely on your device or not transmitted to Chronodocs systems.

12. Privacy and Security

Chronodocs will handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Chronodocs uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect hosted Service data and accounts. However, no system, network, or service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, uninterrupted, or error-free.

You acknowledge that use of collaborative features may make certain content, project details, member information, and activity history visible to authorized users within the relevant workspace or project.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your devices, networks, browser environment, credentials, local browser storage, and internal access practices.

13. Availability, Changes, and Support

Chronodocs may modify, update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including any feature, integration, function, storage limit, file limit, plan offering, or supported workflow.

We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, compatible, or error-free, or that data loss, corruption, or delay will never occur.

Support, if any, is provided at our discretion or as described in your plan or a separate written agreement. Unless expressly stated in a signed written agreement, Chronodocs does not guarantee any support availability, response time, resolution time, uptime, or service level.

14. Copyright and Complaints

Chronodocs respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us at:

support@chronodocs.com

Any notice should include sufficient detail for us to identify the allegedly infringing material, the rights claimed, and how to contact you.

Chronodocs may remove, disable, or restrict access to content that we reasonably believe violates law, these Terms, or the rights of others.

Chronodocs may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with that defense at your expense.

18. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time.

Chronodocs may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, remove or disable content, downgrade your account, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any lawful reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or potential liability, failed to pay fees, or if we are discontinuing the Service.

Upon termination, your right to access and use the Service will end immediately. Chronodocs may delete or disable access to data associated with your account subject to applicable law and our internal retention practices.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions relating to ownership, licenses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, accrued payment obligations, and any other terms intended to survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws rules, except to the extent federal law governs.

20. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.Before initiating arbitration or litigation, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and informal discussion for at least thirty (30) days.

Except for claims that qualify for small claims court or claims seeking temporary injunctive relief to prevent immediate and irreparable harm, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration in Travis County, Texas, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules.

YOU AND CHRONODOCS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If the arbitration provision is found unenforceable, then exclusive venue for any permitted court proceeding will be the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and each party consents to that venue and jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws rules, except to the extent federal law governs.

21. Changes to These Terms

Chronodocs may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we may provide notice by reasonable means, such as posting the updated Terms on the website, updating the “Last Revised” date, sending notice through the Service, or sending email.

Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

22. Entire Agreement; Severability; Assignment

These Terms, together with any incorporated policies, referenced policies, and any written order form, subscription terms, or other written agreement between you and Chronodocs regarding the Service, are the entire agreement between you and Chronodocs regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Chronodocs’s prior written consent. Chronodocs may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or as otherwise permitted by law.
