MootQourt Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 9, 2026

Welcome to MootQourt. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and J. Sebastian Van Coevorden, an individual sole proprietor doing business as MootQourt ("MootQourt," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the MootQourt website at mootqourt.com, the MootQourt oral argument simulation platform, and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 15 THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. The Service is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

2. Description of the Service

MootQourt is an artificial intelligence-powered oral argument simulator designed for law students, attorneys, and other legal professionals. The Service allows users to upload legal briefs, select a simulated tribunal, engage in a simulated oral argument with an AI-generated judge, and receive an automated performance debrief. The Service is provided for educational, training, and practice purposes only.

3. Accounts

To use most features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:

(a) provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration;

(b) maintain and promptly update your account information;

(d) be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account; and

(e) notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

We reserve the right to reject, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion.

4. NOT LEGAL ADVICE; NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE. All content generated by the Service — including judge questions, hypothetical scenarios, feedback, critiques, scores, and debriefs — is produced by artificial intelligence models and is intended solely for educational and practice purposes. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, outdated, or legally wrong, and should never be relied upon as a substitute for independent legal research, professional judgment, or advice from a licensed attorney.

Your use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and MootQourt, Sebastian Van Coevorden, The Cochran Firm, or any other person or entity. No information you submit to the Service is protected by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine by virtue of that submission, and no duty of confidentiality arises from your use of the Service beyond what is expressly set forth in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Do not use the Service to make decisions in any actual legal matter without independent verification by a licensed attorney.

5. Attorney Professional Responsibility

If you are a licensed attorney, law student, or legal professional, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable rules of professional conduct, including but not limited to rules governing:

(a) confidentiality of client information (e.g., ABA Model Rule 1.6 and its state analogs);

(b) competence and supervision of technology (e.g., ABA Model Rule 1.1, Comment 8);

(d) advertising and solicitation; and

(e) candor toward tribunals.

You are solely responsible for determining whether uploading any particular document to the Service is consistent with your professional obligations, including any duty to obtain informed client consent before submitting client information to a third-party AI service. MootQourt is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not supervise or advise on your compliance with any rule of professional conduct.

6. User Content and Uploaded Briefs

6.1 Your Content

You may upload legal briefs and other documents to the Service ("User Content"). You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.

6.2 License to Us

By uploading User Content, you grant MootQourt a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use your User Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete the User Content or close your account, except to the extent that residual copies may remain in backups or logs for a commercially reasonable period.

6.3 We Do Not Train Models on Your Content

We do not use your User Content to train artificial intelligence models. Your User Content is transmitted to third-party AI providers (including Anthropic, Deepgram, and Groq) solely for the purpose of generating summaries, simulated judicial responses, speech-to-text transcription, text-to-speech audio, and performance debriefs during your session. Use of your data by those third parties is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

6.4 Confidentiality Within MootQourt

We will not intentionally disclose the contents of your uploaded briefs to any other user of the Service, and we take commercially reasonable measures to protect your User Content from unauthorized access. However, the Service is not a secure environment for privileged, confidential, or sensitive information, and we make no representation that uploaded content is protected by attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, or any other legal protection. You should not upload any document containing information you are not authorized to disclose to a third-party AI service.

6.5 Your Representations

You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have all necessary rights to upload your User Content; (b) your User Content does not infringe any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other right of any third party; (c) your upload and use of the User Content does not violate any law, court order, protective order, confidentiality agreement, or rule of professional conduct; and (d) your User Content does not contain malicious code.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

(a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;

(b) upload content that is infringing, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable;

(c) attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or extract the underlying models, prompts, or source code of the Service;

(d) use the Service to build a competing product or to train any machine learning model;

(e) circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or rate-limiting features;

(f) use automated means (bots, scripts, crawlers) to access the Service without our prior written consent;

(g) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;

(h) upload documents subject to a sealing order, protective order, or other court-imposed restriction without appropriate authorization; or

(i) use the Service to engage in the unauthorized practice of law.

8. Subscriptions, Billing, and Payments

8.1 Paid Plans

Certain features of the Service may be available only through a paid subscription. Pricing and features for each plan are described on the Service at the time of purchase.

8.2 Payment Processing

Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's own terms of service and privacy policy. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.

8.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless canceled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

8.4 Refunds

Except where required by applicable law, all payments are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods, unused portions of a subscription, or features you did not use.

8.5 Price Changes

We may change subscription fees at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any price increase, and the new price will apply at your next renewal.

8.6 Taxes

You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes associated with your subscription, other than taxes based on our net income.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, text, graphics, logos, the MootQourt name and mark, and all AI-generated outputs displayed through the Service interface (excluding your User Content), is owned by MootQourt or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you.

You may use AI-generated outputs from your own sessions for your personal educational and professional development purposes. You may not resell, redistribute, or publicly republish substantial portions of the Service or its outputs without our prior written consent.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers including but not limited to Anthropic (AI judge), Deepgram (speech-to-text and text-to-speech), Groq (brief summarization and debrief generation), Modal (backend hosting), Vercel (frontend hosting), Clerk (authentication), Supabase (database), and Stripe (payments). We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these providers, and your use of the Service is subject to their respective terms where applicable.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature, if available. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any pre-paid fees.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MOOTQOURT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

MOOTQOURT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE; OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL IMPROVE YOUR LEGAL SKILLS OR PROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES.

YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON ITS OUTPUTS.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MOOTQOURT OR J. SEBASTIAN VAN COEVORDEN BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO MOOTQOURT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH MOOTQOURT THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and MootQourt agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction.

15.2 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at support@mootqourt.com with a written description of the Dispute and allow sixty (60) days for us to attempt to resolve it informally.

15.3 Arbitration Procedure

Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be New York, New York, though you may elect to participate by telephone or video. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.4 CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND MOOTQOURT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

15.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@mootqourt.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

15.6 Severability

If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remainder of these Terms shall remain in effect.

15.7 Governing Law

These Terms and any Dispute shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MootQourt and J. Sebastian Van Coevorden from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; or (e) your violation of any rule of professional conduct.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms on the Service and updating the "Last Updated" date, and where appropriate by email. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.

18. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MootQourt regarding the Service.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control.

Contact. Questions about these Terms may be sent to support@mootqourt.com.
