Legal Data Hunter General Service Agreement

Effective date: August 11, 2026. This document applies prospectively and does not alter pre-publication records or obligations.

This General Service Agreement, the GSA, is between Legal Data Hunter, Inc., a Delaware corporation, LDH, and the business or professional customer identified in an Order Form, Customer. Each is a Party and together they are the Parties.

This GSA applies to every paid B2B Service purchased from LDH. Product terms appear in the applicable Service Terms. Customer and transaction facts appear in the Order Form.

1. Agreement structure

Agreement means this GSA, each Order Form, the applicable Service Terms, the DPA when it applies, and any schedule expressly incorporated by an Order Form. Services means the products, access, data, deliverables, support, or professional services selected in an Order Form. Source means an origin of legal material or metadata. Capitalized terms may also be defined in the applicable Service Terms.

Each Order Form is a separate transaction and is binding when accepted by both Parties through signature or another agreed affirmative method. It must identify the version of this GSA and each applicable Service Terms. Later website changes do not amend an existing fixed-term Order Form unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise.

In a conflict: (a) the DPA and mandatory transfer instruments control Processing of Customer Personal Data; (b) the Order Form controls transaction facts and any negotiated change that expressly identifies the affected clause; (c) the applicable Service Terms control their product subject; and (d) this GSA controls all other matters. A Source and Inventory Schedule controls only dataset identity, technical scope, qualifications, and Source-specific restrictions. Customer purchase orders and procurement terms do not modify the Agreement.

2. Services and use

Subject to payment and the Agreement, LDH grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right during the applicable Order Term to use the Services for the authorized purpose. Customer is responsible for its users, credentials, integrations, environments, instructions, and results.

Customer may not use the Services unlawfully or in violation of third-party rights, professional duties, Source restrictions, sanctions, or export controls; share credentials with an unrelated organization; defeat access, security, or usage controls; introduce malicious code or interfere with the Services; reverse engineer non-public elements except where law prohibits the restriction; extract, distribute, resell, sublicense, publish, or commercialize content beyond the Agreement; or create a substitute or competing service, database, feed, or corpus unless expressly authorized.

LDH may suspend affected access where reasonably necessary for overdue undisputed fees, unlawful or unauthorized use, a material security risk, Source restrictions, or material breach. Where practicable, LDH will give notice and an opportunity to cure and will restore access after the issue is resolved.

3. Legal materials

LDH is not a court, official publisher, law firm, or legal-services provider. The Services provide research, information, data, and technical access, not legal advice or an attorney-client relationship.

Legal materials and results may be incomplete, delayed, duplicated, inaccurately classified, unavailable, or affected by Source changes. A missing result does not prove that a document or authority does not exist. Customer remains responsible for professional judgment, citation checking, deadlines, filings, advice, and verification against an issuing authority or other canonical source before consequential reliance.

LDH grants no rights in underlying materials that it does not possess. Use remains subject to law and Source-specific attribution, privacy, court-record, copyright, database-right, removal, and downstream-use requirements. Demonstrations, roadmaps, estimated counts, coverage pages, and support statements are not commitments unless expressly made binding in an Order Form.

4. Data, privacy, and security

Customer Data means information submitted by or for Customer to the Services, excluding Usage Data. Customer retains its rights in Customer Data and grants LDH the limited rights needed to provide, secure, support, administer, and terminate the Services and comply with law. Customer represents that it has all rights, notices, consents, and lawful bases needed for Customer Data and its Processing instructions.

The LDH DPA applies automatically whenever LDH Processes Customer Personal Data on Customer's behalf as Processor or Subprocessor. LDH's independent-controller activities are governed by its Privacy Notice. LDH will maintain reasonable safeguards appropriate to the Services and Customer Data, as further described in the applicable DPA and verified security materials.

Usage Data means technical, operational, security, billing, and aggregated usage information generated in operating the Services. It excludes Customer Data and information revealing the substance of a request or result. LDH may use Usage Data to operate, secure, bill, support, and improve the Services.

5. Confidentiality

Confidential Information means non-public information that is marked confidential or should reasonably be understood as confidential, including Customer Data, credentials, pricing, business, product, technical, and security information. The recipient will use it only for the Agreement, protect it with at least reasonable care, and disclose it only to persons who need access and owe appropriate confidentiality duties.

Confidential Information excludes information the recipient can show was lawfully known without restriction, independently developed without use of the disclosure, lawfully received without restriction, or made public without breach. A legally required disclosure is permitted after advance notice where lawful and reasonably practicable.

These duties continue for five years after termination. Trade secrets remain protected while legally qualifying as trade secrets. Credentials, security-sensitive information, and Customer Personal Data remain protected while retained and while disclosure would create a material legal or security risk.

6. Intellectual property

LDH and its licensors retain all rights in the Services, software, interfaces, Documentation, source inventory, selection and arrangement, proprietary metadata, enrichment, normalization, ranking, compilation, Usage Data, branding, and related technology. Customer retains its rights in Customer Data, its original software, and materials created independently of the Services. Ownership does not enlarge any licence.

Customer grants LDH a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use feedback without publicly identifying Customer as the source without permission. Neither Party may publicly use the other's name, logo, trademarks, or endorsement without prior written consent.

7. Fees and taxes

Customer will pay the fees in each Order Form on its stated schedule. Customer must dispute an invoice in good faith within fifteen days after receipt and timely pay undisputed amounts. Except as expressly stated, fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Late undisputed amounts may accrue interest at the maximum lawful rate, plus reasonable collection costs.

Fees exclude sales, use, value-added, withholding, and similar taxes, other than taxes on LDH's net income. Customer is responsible for taxes associated with its purchase. If Customer is legally required to withhold tax from a payment, Customer will increase the payment so that LDH receives the amount it would have received without the withholding, except for taxes imposed on LDH's net income or where the Order Form expressly states otherwise. Customer will provide the legal basis and official evidence of payment and reasonably cooperate in obtaining available treaty or other relief.

8. Warranties and disclaimers

Each Party warrants that it has authority to enter the Agreement. LDH warrants that paid professional services will be performed professionally and workmanlike. Customer's exclusive remedy is re-performance after reasonably detailed notice within thirty days after performance.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, all other Services, Sources, materials, and outputs are provided as is and as available, with all faults. LDH disclaims all implied and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, currency, availability, results, security, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

9. Indemnification

Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LDH and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from Customer Data, Customer's products or services, Customer's violation of law or third-party rights, or Customer's material breach of Section 2 or 3.

LDH will give prompt notice and reasonable cooperation at Customer's expense. Customer controls the defense and settlement but may not admit fault by, impose obligations on, or restrict LDH without consent. LDH provides no indemnity unless expressly stated in an Order Form or signed amendment.

10. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Party nor its affiliates, suppliers, or licensors is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or reliance damages, or for lost profits, revenue, business, goodwill, opportunity, anticipated savings, or data, even if advised of the possibility.

LDH's total aggregate liability arising from an Order Form will not exceed fees actually paid to LDH under that Order Form for the affected Services during the twelve months before the event giving rise to liability. Customer's payment and indemnification obligations are not subject to this cap. Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. The limits apply in the aggregate and under every legal theory. The DPA creates no separate cap unless an Order Form expressly says otherwise.

11. Term and termination

This GSA begins with the first Order Form and continues until all Order Forms end. Each Order Form states its term, renewal, and any additional termination rights. There is no automatic renewal unless expressly selected.

Either Party may terminate an Order Form for material breach not cured within thirty days after notice, or immediately if the breach cannot reasonably be cured. Either Party may also terminate for insolvency, cessation of business, assignment for creditors, or a bankruptcy proceeding not dismissed within sixty days, to the extent lawful.

Termination does not create a refund except when Customer terminates for LDH's uncured material breach, in which case LDH will refund prepaid fees for the terminated period. On termination, access ends and accrued fees are due. Product-specific return, deletion, retention, and transition duties are governed by the Service Terms and DPA. On request, each Party will return or destroy the other's non-personal Confidential Information, subject to lawful retention, legal hold, routine backup expiry, and immutable contract or compliance archives. Retained information remains protected.

Payment, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, indemnification, liability limits, dispute terms, and accrued rights survive.

12. Governing law and disputes

Delaware law governs without regard to conflicts rules. The Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts in New Castle County, Delaware, and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Each Party waives jury trial and agrees to bring claims only individually, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Before filing, the complaining Party must give written notice describing the dispute and allow thirty days for good-faith executive discussions, except where urgent injunctive relief is reasonably necessary.

13. General

Legal notices must be sent by email to the notice addresses in the Order Form. A notice of termination, uncured material breach, indemnification claim, or commenced litigation must also be sent by nationally recognized courier to the applicable physical address in the Order Form. LDH's notice details are zach@legaldatahunter.com and 2810 N Church St STE 89040, Wilmington, DE 19802, United States. An email notice is effective when sent unless the sender receives a delivery-failure message. A required courier copy is effective on documented delivery or refusal.

Customer may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any right or obligation under it, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without LDH's prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this provision is void. LDH may assign or transfer this Agreement and may delegate any of its rights or obligations under it, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Customer's consent, to any person or entity selected by LDH. Customer consents in advance to each such assignment, transfer, and delegation. LDH will notify Customer of the effective assignment, transfer, or delegation. As a condition to any such assignment, transfer, or delegation, the selected person or entity must assume LDH's applicable obligations in writing. Upon that written assumption, the assignee will become the provider under this Agreement and the assigning LDH entity will be released from obligations arising after the effective date, without releasing liabilities accrued before that date. This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

The Parties are independent contractors. The Agreement creates no partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, employment, agency, attorney-client, or exclusive relationship. There are no third-party beneficiaries.

Neither Party is liable for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including Source restrictions, internet or cloud failures, disasters, government action, war, civil disorder, epidemics, or critical-supplier failures. This does not excuse accrued payment.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. The Agreement is the entire agreement on its subject and supersedes prior discussions and proposals. Amendments must be written and signed by authorized representatives. Electronic signatures and counterparts are effective. Headings do not affect interpretation.
