1. About Acquit Intel
Acquit Intel is a criminal defence intelligence platform operated from New South Wales, Australia. It provides AI-powered legal research and strategic analysis tools for criminal defence practitioners across Australia, England & Wales, New Zealand, Ireland, and Canada. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the platform at acquitintel.com.
By creating an account, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
2. Professional use only
Acquit Intel is designed exclusively for qualified legal practitioners, including solicitors, barristers, defence counsel, and supervised legal staff acting under the direction of a qualified practitioner. By accessing the platform you confirm that you are a qualified legal professional or are working under the direct supervision of one, and that you will use the platform only in connection with lawful legal practice.
Use of this platform by members of the public seeking legal advice for their own matters is not permitted.
3. Not legal advice
Outputs generated by Acquit Intel do not constitute legal advice. All analysis, recommendations, case citations, sentencing data, and strategic suggestions are research tools designed to support the professional judgment of qualified practitioners. They are not a substitute for it.
All professional decisions — including advice given to clients, submissions made to courts, and strategy adopted in proceedings — remain entirely the responsibility of the practising legal professional. Acquit Intel accepts no liability for decisions made in reliance on platform outputs.
4. Citation accuracy and verification
Acquit Intel searches current legal databases including AustLII, BAILII, NZLII, CanLII, and Irish legal resources in real time. However, the platform uses AI which may produce errors, including incorrect or fabricated citations. All case citations, legislative references, sentencing data, and legal principles generated by the platform must be independently verified before reliance in court proceedings, legal submissions, client advice, or any other professional context.
You accept full responsibility for verifying all platform outputs before use.
5. Data and processing
When you submit a query, it is transmitted securely via TLS to Acquit Intel's Cloudflare Worker, which forwards it to Anthropic's AI infrastructure for processing. The response is returned to you. Acquit Intel does not log, store, or access the content of your queries or the AI responses beyond what is necessary to route them. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
6. Your professional obligations
You are responsible for compliance with your applicable professional conduct rules, court practice directions, confidentiality obligations, and any rules or guidance governing the use of AI tools in legal practice in your jurisdiction. Acquit Intel does not provide advice on these obligations and accepts no responsibility for your compliance with them.
7. Subscription, billing, and cancellation
Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. Where a free trial is offered, your trial begins on the date you create your account and provide payment details. You will not be charged during the trial period. If you cancel before the trial ends, you will not be charged.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from within your account settings or via the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access until that date. Refunds are not provided for partial billing periods.
Pricing is displayed in local currency for your selected jurisdiction and is subject to change with 30 days written notice by email.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) use Acquit Intel to generate content intended to mislead a court or fabricate evidence; (b) present AI-generated citations as verified without independent verification; (c) share your account credentials with anyone outside your subscription tier; (d) attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract the platform's prompts, algorithms, or infrastructure; (e) use the platform in any manner that would constitute professional misconduct in your jurisdiction; or (f) use the platform for any unlawful purpose.
9. Intellectual property
The Acquit Intel platform, including its design, code, prompts, and branding, is the intellectual property of its operator. You retain ownership of any content you input into the platform. You grant Acquit Intel a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your inputs solely for the purpose of delivering the service. Outputs generated by the platform may be used freely in your professional practice.
10. Service availability
Acquit Intel is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The platform depends on third-party infrastructure and the availability and quality of public legal databases, which are outside our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the platform with reasonable notice.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Acquit Intel's total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from or related to your use of the platform is limited to the subscription fees actually paid by you in the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Acquit Intel is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, professional liability claims, or damage to professional reputation. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability under the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Acquit Intel from any claims, losses, damages, and expenses arising from: (a) your use of the platform; (b) your reliance on platform outputs without independent verification; (c) your breach of these terms; or (d) any claim by a third party arising from your professional use of platform outputs.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified by email at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. If you are located outside Australia, these terms do not override any mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
