I agree to Grella's Terms of Service and acknowledge the Privacy Policy.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Grella's website, application, APIs, support channels, and related services.
By creating an account, accessing Grella, inviting users, uploading content, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the organization you represent.
If you use Grella on behalf of a law firm, company, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If your organization has a separate written agreement with Grella, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.
2. The Grella Service
Grella is a software service that processes uploaded matter files to extract facts, generate cited answers, build chronologies, and produce work product grounded in the uploaded record.
Grella may include features such as:
- Organization workspaces
- Matters, projects, and knowledge bases
- Document upload, OCR, extraction, chunking, embedding, and search
- AI chat with citations to source materials
- AI-generated matter overviews, facts, summaries, chronologies, and work product
- User roles, permissions, sharing controls, and selected audit logs
- Export and collaboration features
Grella may change, improve, limit, or discontinue features over time. Some features may be available only to certain customers, plans, regions, or deployment configurations.
3. Business Use
Grella is intended for business and professional use by law firms, legal teams, and other organizations that need to review and reason over documents.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Grella complies with your professional, ethical, regulatory, confidentiality, and client obligations.
Grella is not designed for consumer personal use.
4. Accounts, Organizations, and Users
You must provide accurate account, organization, and contact information and keep it up to date.
Organization owners and administrators are responsible for:
- Managing users, invitations, roles, and permissions
- Deciding who may access each organization, matter, chat, knowledge base, file, and work product
- Removing users who should no longer have access
- Ensuring users comply with these Terms
- Protecting login credentials and account access
You are responsible for activity that occurs through your account or organization, except to the extent caused by Grella's breach of these Terms.
You must notify Grella promptly at [email protected] if you believe an account has been compromised or used without authorization.
5. Customer Content
"Customer content" means documents, files, data, text, prompts, queries, messages, outputs, metadata, work product, and other content uploaded, created, submitted, or processed by you or your users in Grella.
As between you and Grella, you retain ownership of customer content. Grella does not claim ownership of customer content.
You grant Grella a limited license to host, process, transmit, display, copy, format, index, analyze, and otherwise use customer content only as needed to provide, secure, support, maintain, and improve Grella for your organization, comply with law, and enforce these Terms.
You represent that you have the rights, permissions, and authority needed to upload and process customer content in Grella.
You are responsible for customer content and for decisions made based on customer content or outputs generated from it.
6. AI Features and Legal Review
Grella uses AI to help search, summarize, extract, classify, draft, and reason over customer content. AI-generated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable for your intended use.
Grella does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, legal representation, or legal services. Grella is a software tool. It does not replace professional judgment.
You are responsible for:
- Reviewing all AI-generated outputs before relying on them
- Verifying citations, extracted facts, dates, summaries, chronologies, and drafted work product
- Deciding whether outputs are appropriate for legal, business, client, filing, court, regulatory, or other use
- Ensuring that use of Grella complies with applicable professional obligations
Grella does not guarantee legal outcomes, litigation results, regulatory outcomes, filing acceptance, settlement results, or business results.
7. AI Providers and Processing
Grella uses third-party AI, OCR, embedding, reranking, search, infrastructure, and document-processing providers to operate the service.
AI providers process your document text and queries to provide Grella's AI features. We use business API providers that state they do not train models on customer API data.
Grella does not use customer content to train Grella-owned foundation models or to build models for other customers.
The Privacy Policy explains how Grella handles customer content, personal information, service providers, retention, and security.
8. Acceptable Use
You must not use Grella to:
- Violate any law, regulation, court order, professional rule, or third-party right
- Upload content you do not have authority to process
- Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or contractual rights
- Submit malware, exploit code, or harmful technical material
- Attempt to bypass security, access controls, usage limits, rate limits, or authentication
- Access another customer's data or interfere with another customer's use of Grella
- Reverse engineer, scrape, copy, benchmark, or probe Grella except as allowed by law or written permission
- Use Grella or its outputs to build, train, or improve a competing product or model
- Resell, sublicense, or make Grella available to third parties unless Grella agrees in writing
- Use Grella for high-risk automated decisions without appropriate human review
- Misrepresent AI-generated content as independently verified legal analysis without review
Grella may investigate suspected misuse and may suspend or restrict access where necessary to protect the service, customers, users, or third parties.
9. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential information from the other. Confidential information includes non-public technical, business, product, security, pricing, customer, matter, and legal information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential.
Each party will use the other party's confidential information only to perform under these Terms or a related agreement and will protect it using reasonable care.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, already known without confidentiality restriction, independently developed, or lawfully received from a third party without confidentiality restriction.
Grella may disclose confidential information where required by law, court order, subpoena, government request, or similar legal process, subject to notice where legally permitted.
10. Security
Grella implements technical and organizational measures intended to protect customer content and personal information. These may include encryption, organization-level isolation, role-based access controls, key management, selected logging, and secure-development practices.
No system is completely secure. Grella does not guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss, service interruption, or security incidents will never occur.
You are responsible for configuring organization access appropriately, using strong authentication practices, managing user permissions, and promptly removing users who should no longer have access.
Additional security and privacy details are described in Grella's Privacy Policy and Security materials.
11. Fees, Payments, and Taxes
Fees, billing terms, usage limits, renewal terms, and payment methods may be stated in an order form, invoice, checkout flow, written agreement, or plan description.
Grella may use third-party payment processors, including providers such as Airwallex, Stripe, or other payment platforms. Payment processors may process payment and billing information under their own terms and privacy notices.
Unless otherwise stated in writing:
- Fees are due as described in the applicable order, invoice, checkout flow, or plan
- Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly agreed by Grella
- You are responsible for taxes, duties, levies, and similar charges, excluding taxes on Grella's income
- Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of access
If your organization purchases Grella through a separate order form or customer agreement, that document controls payment terms where it conflicts with this section.
12. Trials, Beta Features, and Changes
Grella may offer trials, pilots, previews, beta features, or early access features. These may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time.
Beta or preview features may be less reliable than generally available features and may be provided without support, service commitments, or warranties.
Grella may update the service to improve performance, reliability, security, usability, or functionality. Grella may also make changes required by law, provider requirements, security needs, or product strategy.
13. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using Grella at any time. Subscription cancellation and termination rights may be governed by your order form, invoice, written agreement, or plan terms.
Grella may suspend or terminate access if:
- You breach these Terms
- Payment is overdue
- Use of Grella creates a security, legal, operational, or abuse risk
- Grella is required to do so by law or provider requirement
- Your use may harm Grella, other customers, users, or third parties
After termination, Grella may retain customer content for a limited period as needed for export, backup, legal, security, billing, dispute, or operational purposes, unless a separate agreement states otherwise.
14. Export and Deletion
Organization administrators may request export or deletion of customer content, subject to technical, legal, billing, security, backup, and operational limits.
Some deleted information may persist for a limited period in backups, logs, audit records, caches, or security records before being overwritten or deleted according to operational processes.
Grella may retain information where required or permitted by law, to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, prevent abuse, or keep necessary business records.
15. Third-Party Services
Grella may integrate with or rely on third-party services, including hosting, infrastructure, AI providers, OCR providers, payment processors, analytics, communications, support, and search providers.
Grella is not responsible for third-party services that you choose to connect, access, or use outside Grella. Your use of third-party services may be governed by separate terms and privacy notices.
Grella may change third-party providers where needed to operate, secure, or improve the service.
16. Intellectual Property
Grella and its licensors retain all rights in the service, software, designs, interfaces, workflows, models, prompts, code, documentation, trademarks, and related technology, except for customer content.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from Grella except as allowed by these Terms, a written agreement, or applicable law.
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas, Grella may use them without restriction or compensation.
17. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Grella is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
Grella disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, and accuracy of outputs, except where such disclaimers are not permitted by law or where a separate written agreement states otherwise.
Grella does not warrant that:
- AI outputs will be complete, accurate, or suitable for any specific purpose
- Citations, summaries, classifications, extracted facts, chronologies, or work product will be free from error
- The service will meet every professional, regulatory, court, client, or evidentiary requirement
- The service will be uninterrupted, secure, or available at all times
Nothing in these Terms excludes guarantees, warranties, or rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Grella will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, loss of goodwill, or legal or professional consequences arising from use of the service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Grella's total liability for claims arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:
- The amounts paid by your organization to Grella for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
- AUD $100.
This limitation applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some limitations may not apply to you.
19. Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grella from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses arising from:
- Customer content
- Your use of Grella in breach of these Terms
- Your violation of law, professional obligations, or third-party rights
- Your unauthorized disclosure, upload, or processing of content
- Your decisions, filings, advice, or professional work based on Grella outputs
Grella will promptly notify you of any claim for which it seeks indemnity and will allow you reasonable control of the defense, subject to Grella's right to participate and approve any settlement that imposes obligations on Grella.
20. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in New South Wales, Australia, unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
Before starting legal proceedings, each party will use reasonable efforts to resolve disputes informally by contacting the other party at the notice address in these Terms.
21. Changes to These Terms
Grella may update these Terms from time to time. When Grella makes material changes, Grella will update the "Last updated" date and provide notice where required by law or applicable agreement.
Your continued use of Grella after updated Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
