Effective September 25, 2026.
These terms govern your use of lemmatic.ai, authorities.lemmatic.ai, and any other site or tool we offer under the Lemmatic name (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by Aspen Little LLC, a California limited liability company, under the name Lemmatic (“we”, “us”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What the Service is
Lemmatic Authorities is a free tool that runs in your web browser. It takes the RTF file that a Westlaw Find & Print export delivers and produces a set of Markdown files containing the court’s or the government’s own text, together with a manifest describing the set. Every copyright notice in the export is carried into the output as delivered. The processing happens on your computer. We do not receive the files you submit, and we do not operate any account, login, or storage for you.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, without notice.
2. What the Service is not
The Service is not legal research, legal advice, or a substitute for reading the authority itself. Its output can contain errors, and the source material can contain errors of its own. In particular, the output may misplace, omit, or misnumber pin cites, page breaks, footnotes, headings, and other elements of the original, and an error of that kind can carry into a brief. Before you rely on, quote, or cite anything the Service produces, independently cite-check it against the original authority. The manifest’s “Check these” list identifies places where the processing was uncertain; it is not exhaustive, and you remain responsible for every authority you cite.
We make software, not legal judgments. Using the Service does not create an attorney–client relationship with us or with anyone associated with us, and nothing on the Service is legal advice.
3. Your files and your licenses
The files you submit to the Service are yours, and we never receive them. Their content is subject to whatever terms you obtained it under. If you export material from a legal-research service, your use of that material is governed by your agreement with that service, to which we are not a party. By submitting a file to the Service you represent that you are entitled to download it and to use it as you intend, and you are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service and its output complies with those agreements and with applicable law.
The output carries every copyright and source notice that arrived with your export. You agree not to delete, obscure, or alter those notices. You, not we, are responsible for what you do with the output.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aspen Little LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to the files you submit to the Service, your use of its output, or your breach of these terms.
4. Ownership
The software that makes up the Service, and the text and design of our sites, belong to us or our licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Service for your own purposes, including in your professional work. You may not copy, sell, or redistribute the Service itself, or represent it as your own.
The output the Service produces from your files is yours. Where that output consists of the text of court opinions, statutes, regulations, and other government works, we claim no rights in that text.
Westlaw and Westlaw Find & Print are trademarks of Thomson Reuters and its affiliated companies. Lemmatic and Aspen Little LLC are independent of Thomson Reuters and are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by it.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to violate any law or any third party’s rights, not to interfere with its operation or with other people’s use of it, and not to misrepresent its output as something it is not.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND “AS IS”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, HOWEVER CAUSED. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these limitations; in those places our liability is limited to the extent the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. The current version is always at lemmatic.ai/terms, with its effective date. Your continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the changed terms.
9. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you and we each consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
Class action waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, A COURT MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING IT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. If a court finds any part of this waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that part is severed as to that claim or request only, and the waiver applies in full to every other claim.
10. About these terms
These terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the fullest extent the law allows and, if necessary, modified or severed to the minimum extent needed, and the rest of these terms remains in full effect. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. Our Privacy statement, which describes what happens to information when you use the Service, is at lemmatic.ai/privacy.
