1. The Service
SettlePro provides software for personal injury law firms to model settlement disbursements, apply state-specific lien rules, generate negotiation letters, and produce client-facing settlement statements. The Service is delivered through the web at settle-pro.com and any related applications.
2. Accounts and teams
Customer's use of the Service is organized into "teams" that represent a firm or workspace. The team owner controls billing and member access. Customer is responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of all login credentials and authentication factors.
- All activity that occurs under accounts associated with its team.
- Ensuring that each team member is authorized to access the case data they handle.
- Promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized access.
3. Acceptable use
Customer will not, and will not permit any user to:
- Use the Service in violation of applicable law or rules of professional conduct.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to derive source code, except as expressly permitted by law.
- Resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to third parties outside Customer's firm without our written consent.
- Upload material that infringes third-party rights, contains malware, or attempts to disrupt the Service or other customers.
- Bypass usage limits, share API keys publicly, or circumvent security or authentication measures.
- Use the Service to generate documents that misrepresent calculated figures as legal advice from SettlePro.
4. Subscriptions, credits, and billing
Plans and credits
Access is sold on a subscription basis with monthly or annual billing intervals. Each plan includes a set allotment of case credits per billing period. Additional credits can be purchased in packs as needed. Credits included in a subscription do not roll over between periods unless expressly stated; purchased overage credits remain available until used.
Payment
Payment is processed by Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise. Customer is responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file. If a charge fails, we may suspend access until the balance is brought current.
Cancellation
Customer may cancel a subscription at any time from inside the application. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Customer remains responsible for charges accrued before cancellation.
Changes to fees
We may change pricing for future renewal periods. Material price changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance. Continued use after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.
5. Customer data and confidentiality
Customer retains all rights in the case, client, and firm information it submits to the Service ("Customer Data"). Customer grants SettlePro a limited license to host, process, and display Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Service.
SettlePro will not access Customer Data except to operate, maintain, secure, or support the Service, comply with law, or with Customer's permission. Our handling of Customer Data is further described in our Privacy Policy.
Customer is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Service is consistent with its obligations to clients, including under applicable rules of professional conduct, attorney- client privilege, and any client engagement agreements.
6. Calculator results and professional responsibility
Nothing in the Service constitutes legal advice from SettlePro. The supervising attorney for each matter remains responsible for the accuracy of disbursements, the completeness of lien resolution, and compliance with any applicable statutory requirements.
7. Intellectual property
SettlePro retains all right, title, and interest in the Service, including software, designs, templates, calculation logic, and brand. Customer receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its internal business purposes during the term of its subscription. No rights are granted by implication.
If Customer provides feedback or suggestions, SettlePro may use them without restriction or obligation, including to improve the Service.
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." To the maximum extent permitted by law, SettlePro disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
SettlePro does not warrant that calculations will match a particular court, opposing counsel, lienholder, or auditor's interpretation of applicable law in any specific case. Customer is responsible for independent verification.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SettlePro and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenues, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. SettlePro's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees paid by Customer to SettlePro in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
10. Indemnification
Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SettlePro from and against any third-party claim arising out of or related to (a) Customer Data, (b) Customer's use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) Customer's representations to its clients regarding settlement figures, distributions, or document content generated using the Service.
11. Suspension and termination
SettlePro may suspend or terminate access if Customer materially breaches these Terms, fails to pay, or uses the Service in a way that creates risk for SettlePro or other customers. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure. On termination, Customer's right to use the Service ends; we will make Customer Data available for export for a reasonable period, after which we may delete it.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced inside the application and emailed to the team owner before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
