Terms of Service

Effective date: July 10, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of NoticeForge (the “Service”), operated by NoticeForge (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What NoticeForge Is

NoticeForge is professional-grade, self-directed document drafting software for Florida Chapter 558 construction-defect notices of claim. The Service extracts facts from documents you upload, ties each extracted fact to its location in your source material, assembles structured notice drafts from the facts and selections you review and approve, dispatches approved notices by USPS Certified Mail through a third-party mail provider, and tracks delivery status.

Everything the Service produces is built from your source documents, your entries, and your confirmed selections. The Service does not add facts of its own, and it flags — rather than papers over — gaps and inconsistencies in the record you provide.

2. NoticeForge Is Not a Law Firm and Does Not Provide Legal Advice

NoticeForge is not a law firm, is not a lawyer referral service, and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Service, by any output it generates, or by any communication with us.

The Service provides self-directed document-assembly software and neutral, general legal information (such as the statutory response periods stated in Chapter 558, Florida Statutes). It does not and cannot advise you about your legal rights or remedies, whether you should pursue a claim, whom to pursue it against, what to include in or omit from a notice, or any other question that calls for legal judgment. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed Florida attorney.

You direct the Service at every step: you supply the source documents, you review the extracted facts, you confirm every factual and legal selection before it is used, and you approve every draft before anything is served. We strongly recommend that a licensed Florida attorney review any notice before it is served.

3. Self-Representation and Your Responsibility

If you use the Service without an attorney, you are representing yourself. You are solely responsible for: the accuracy and completeness of the documents and information you provide; reviewing and confirming every extracted fact and selection; the decision to serve any notice, on whom, and when; compliance with all statutory requirements and deadlines that apply to your matter; and the legal sufficiency of any document you serve. Deadline dates displayed by the Service are informational computations based on dates you provide or confirmed delivery data — verify them independently before relying on them.

4. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@noticeforge.app of any unauthorized use.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of the documents you upload, the information you enter, and the drafts generated from them (collectively, “Your Content”). You grant us a limited license to host, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate the Service — including processing by the service providers described in our Privacy Policy (for example, AI processing of uploaded documents and printing/mailing of approved notices). You represent that you have the right to upload and use Your Content and that doing so does not violate any law or third-party right, including obligations of confidentiality.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: use the Service to harass, defraud, or serve legally baseless demands; upload content you lack the right to use; attempt to probe, disable, overload, or circumvent the Service’s security or access controls; use the Service to violate any law; resell or provide the Service to third parties as your own offering; or use the Service to provide legal services to others in violation of applicable rules governing the practice of law.

7. Fees

The Service is currently offered under an early-access program described on our Pricing page. We will provide clear notice before any charge applies to your account, and continued use after fee changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated fees. Certified-mail dispatch may carry per-letter costs, which will be disclosed before you send.

8. Certified Mail

Approved notices are printed and mailed by a third-party mail provider via USPS Certified Mail. Once a letter is dispatched, it cannot be recalled. You are solely responsible for confirming recipient names and mailing addresses before sending. Delivery timelines and delivery itself are controlled by USPS and are not guaranteed by us; tracking and delivery information is presented as reported by the postal service and our mail provider. The Service surfaces per-recipient delivery status, including failures, and provides re-send tools — monitoring that status remains your responsibility.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DOCUMENT GENERATED BY THE SERVICE IS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT, COMPLIANT WITH CHAPTER 558 OR ANY OTHER LAW, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR MATTER, AND WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST CLAIMS, MISSED DEADLINES, OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or any notice you serve using the Service.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, for legal or security reasons, or upon discontinuation of the Service, with notice where practicable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 2, 3, 9, 10, and 11) survive.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email, and the effective date above will be updated. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
