Legal Disclaimer
This page exists to be completely transparent about what DecipherDocs is and what it is not.
DecipherDocs Is NOT a Law Firm
DecipherDocs is an AI-powered educational tool. We are not a law firm, not a legal service provider, and not a substitute for professional legal counsel. No attorney-client relationship is created by using this service.
This Tool Does NOT Provide Legal Advice
The plain-English explanations, risk assessments, and suggested questions generated by DecipherDocs are for educational and informational purposes only. They are not legal advice, legal opinion, or legal recommendations.
Legal documents are complex. Their meaning and enforceability depend on:
- The specific laws of your state, county, or municipality
- The full context of the agreement and the relationship between the parties
- Relevant case law and regulatory guidance in your jurisdiction
- Your individual circumstances, which an AI tool cannot fully understand
A clause that is standard in one state may be unenforceable in another. A risk that seems low in isolation may be significant when combined with other terms in the same document. Only a qualified attorney who understands your full situation can provide reliable legal guidance.
AI Analysis May Contain Errors
DecipherDocs uses artificial intelligence to analyze legal text. While we have designed the system to be as accurate and helpful as possible, AI technology has inherent limitations:
- The AI may misinterpret unusual or ambiguous legal language
- The AI may not be aware of recent changes in law or regulation
- The AI may not account for jurisdiction-specific rules that affect enforceability
- Risk assessments are general in nature and based on common patterns — they may not reflect the specific risks in your situation
- The AI cannot assess the full context of your relationship with the other party or the broader agreement
You should never rely solely on DecipherDocs output to make legal decisions.
Always Consult a Qualified Attorney
Before signing any legal document, making legal commitments, or taking action based on a legal document, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can:
- Review the complete document in the context of your situation
- Advise you on the specific laws that apply in your location
- Identify risks and issues that an AI tool may miss
- Negotiate terms on your behalf
- Provide legally binding advice that protects your interests
If you cannot afford an attorney, many jurisdictions offer free or low-cost legal aid services. Contact your local bar association for referrals.
Specialized Legal Matters
If your document involves any of the following areas, we especially recommend seeking specialized legal counsel:
- Criminal matters — Criminal law requires specialized expertise and the stakes are too high for general guidance
- Family law — Divorce, custody, and family agreements involve unique legal frameworks
- Immigration — Immigration law is highly specialized and errors can have severe consequences
- Real estate transactions — Property purchases involve significant financial commitments
- Business formation — Starting a business involves legal, tax, and liability considerations
- Estate planning — Wills, trusts, and estate documents require careful legal drafting
Document Privacy
Documents submitted to DecipherDocs are processed in memory and immediately discarded. We do not store, save, or retain any uploaded documents or pasted text. However, please be aware that:
- Your document content is transmitted over the internet (encrypted via HTTPS)
- Your document content is processed by a third-party AI service (Google Gemini) to generate the analysis
- You should avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information (Social Security numbers, bank account numbers) in documents you submit
For full details on how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy.
Limitation of Liability
DecipherDocs and its operators accept no liability for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from the use of this service or reliance on AI-generated analysis. This includes but is not limited to financial losses, legal consequences, missed deadlines, or unfavorable contract terms.
For complete terms, see our Terms of Service.
