FD AI Platform & Services

2.1
Nature of our Services

Founders Doc (trading as “Founders Doc AI” or “FD AI”) provides AI-powered tools that assist with drafting and reviewing legal documents based on user-provided information. You acknowledge that our Services use artificial intelligence models and automated logic to generate content in response to information you have provided to them.

The documents produced through our platform are general in nature and do not constitute legal advice. They may not reflect all relevant facts, legal requirements, or best practices, and should not be relied upon without independent legal or professional review. The outputs may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, and any use of such documents is entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for reviewing and validating all outputs before using them.

You acknowledge and agree that any output is provided strictly on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and any reliance on such output is entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and obtaining independent professional advice before using any output for legal, regulatory, commercial, or operational purposes.

2.2
AI Disclaimer

You acknowledge that our Services use artificial intelligence models to produce content. These models may not be able to comprehend fully the information that you put into it, and may occasionally generate inaccurate, misleading, or non-compliant outputs. Outputs are not tailored legal advice, and Founders Doc does not guarantee that any output is suitable, complete, or legally valid. You will therefore use our Services responsibly, and carefully consider the limitations of its abilities when relying on it for any purpose.

We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees that any output is accurate, complete, legally effective, enforceable, compliant, or fit for purpose. We do not undertake any obligation to verify, fact-check, or update any output unless expressly agreed in writing under a separate paid engagement.

We may use anonymised or de-identified User Content and outputs generated through the Services for internal testing, quality assurance, model evaluation, and product improvement. We use reasonable industry-standard practices in handling User Content and do not sell User Content to third parties in any form.

2.3
Direct-to-User Service

Founders Doc (trading as “Founders Doc AI” or “FD AI”) operates as a direct-to-user service and does not facilitate direct communication with legal professionals. Any inquiries for additional legal support may be redirected to other service lines offered by Founders Doc or our law firm affiliates.

2.4
No Reliance

Our Services provide general-purpose automated tools that support the generation and review of legal documents. We do not guarantee the suitability, enforceability, or legal effect of any document generated.

You acknowledge and accept that any recommendations, suggestions or actions taken or made by our Services are not legally binding and that the content of any Legal Document(s) generated by our Services are not endorsed by or reflective of our views or opinions. You are responsible for reviewing, modifying, and validating any output before using it. No part of the Services constitutes legal advice.

2.5
Our Status as a Legal-Tech Platform

We are not a law firm, but our Platforms and Services are operated by legal professionals and support personnel. If you require legal representation or advice, we may, at our discretion, introduce you to law firms, including law firms affiliated with the FD Group. Any engagement with such law firms is separate and subject to their own terms of engagement.

2.6
No Solicitor-Client Relationship or Legal Professional Privilege

Your use of our Platforms, Services, and Legal Document(s) does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Founders Doc. Any communications sent to us will not be subject to legal professional privilege.

No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee any outcomes or results from use of the Platforms or Services. Any examples, case studies, testimonials, sample outputs, or past results are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any user will achieve the same or similar outcomes. All outcomes depend on the user’s circumstances, actions, and other factors outside our control.

Your use of such services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

2.9
Service Availability & Disruptions

We do not guarantee that our Platforms and Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from bugs. Access may be temporarily restricted due to maintenance, software updates, technical issues, or other factors beyond our control.

You acknowledge that such disruptions may occur and agree that we are not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from any service interruptions, errors, or software updates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability relating to the availability, performance, and functionality of our Platforms and Services.

2.10
Beta & Preview Features

Certain Services may be made available as beta, preview, or early access features. These features are provided “as is” and “as available”, may contain errors, may change substantially before general release, and may be discontinued at any time. We make no guarantees regarding the stability, accuracy, or performance of beta or preview features and disclaim all warranties related to them to the fullest extent permitted by law.
