Terms of Service

Eligibility and age requirement

CaseGuardian is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. By creating an account you represent that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Not legal advice

CaseGuardian is a documentation and evidence-organization tool. It is not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. Use of the app, AI parsing features, the Legal Glossary, and Help content does not create an attorney-client relationship. Always confirm legal questions with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Acceptable use and user-generated content

You agree to use CaseGuardian only for lawful purposes related to documenting and sharing materials you have a right to capture and share. You will comply with applicable recording-consent laws in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for content you upload, capture, or share through the app.

You will not upload, transmit, or share content that:

• is illegal, obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, or hateful, or that incites violence;
• sexually exploits or endangers minors (CSAM is strictly prohibited and will be reported to authorities);
• infringes intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of any third party;
• contains malware, spam, or attempts to compromise the service;
• impersonates another person or misrepresents your affiliation.

We reserve the right to review, refuse, or remove user content that violates these Terms. We will act within 24 hours on credible reports of objectionable content or abusive users. Reports may be sent to support@case-guardian.com.

AI features (opt-in)

AI parsing is off by default on every item. It runs only when you affirmatively toggle it on for that specific item. Before any AI request leaves your device, CaseGuardian runs an on-device PII pass that redacts your name, phone number, email, mailing address, payment information, and the names of people in your life. The redacted item is then sent to our AI sub-processor, Anthropic, for the limited purpose of producing the output you asked for. Anthropic is contractually prohibited from training on or retaining your content.

AI output is informational only, may be inaccurate, and is not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying AI output before relying on it.

Review before sealing

Sealed share links, attorney packages, and Kid Calendar exports show a full review screen before anything is transmitted. You are responsible for reviewing each package and confirming its accuracy and appropriateness before tapping Seal.

Bitcoin anchoring and cryptographic timestamps

CaseGuardian uses the Bitcoin blockchain via the public OpenTimestamps calendar network to anchor cryptographic fingerprints (32-byte SHA-256 hashes) of your captures. By using CaseGuardian, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. No money service business activity. CaseGuardian L.L.C. does not buy, sell, hold, custody, or transmit cryptocurrency on your behalf or its own. CaseGuardian L.L.C. is not registered as, and does not operate as, a money service business or money transmitter.
2. You are not buying Bitcoin. You do not need a wallet, an exchange account, or any cryptocurrency to use the Service. You pay no transaction fees, no gas, and no on-chain costs.
3. Third-party dependency. Anchoring depends on the continued operation of the OpenTimestamps calendar network and the Bitcoin blockchain, both of which are public, independent infrastructure outside CaseGuardian's control.
4. Verification is math, not adjudication. A successful verification proves the fingerprint was present at or before a specific Bitcoin block. It does not authenticate who captured the file, prove the contents are truthful, or guarantee admissibility under any rules of evidence.
5. Public-ledger permanence. Bitcoin anchors exist in the public ledger forever, by design. The fingerprint alone is on-chain with no personal information included. Account deletion does not remove past anchors.

Intellectual property

CaseGuardian and the CG Share Link feature, including all related names, logos, brand marks, software, source code, designs, screens, copy, documentation, and underlying technology, are the exclusive property of CaseGuardian L.L.C. and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. © CaseGuardian L.L.C. All rights reserved.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, redistribute, sublicense, or create derivative works of CaseGuardian without the prior written consent of CaseGuardian L.L.C.

Subscriptions and in-app purchases

CaseGuardian offers auto-renewing subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Pricing, billing period, and any free-trial terms are shown on the in-app paywall before purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

You can manage and cancel subscriptions at any time in:

• iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
• Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions.

Deleting the app alone does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

SMS messaging

By providing a phone number, you agree to receive transactional SMS from CaseGuardian (verification codes, share-link access codes, and security alerts). Separately and optionally, you may opt in to promotional SMS; marketing messages are sent only with that additional, explicit consent. Reply STOP to opt out of either at any time.

Account deletion

You may delete your account and associated data at any time from inside the app under Profile → Legal and Privacy → Delete Account. For your protection, account deletion is gated behind your device's biometric authentication with a passcode fallback. You can also email support@case-guardian.com. Deletion removes your account data from active systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

CaseGuardian is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. AI output is informational only and may be inaccurate.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CaseGuardian L.L.C. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the service. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) amounts you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) US $100.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CaseGuardian L.L.C. from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your user content, your use of the service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be the state or federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming. Disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may bring claims in small-claims court. Class actions and class arbitrations are waived to the extent permitted by law.

Apple App Store - Licensed Application terms

The following applies if you obtained CaseGuardian through the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and CaseGuardian L.L.C. only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
• Your license to use CaseGuardian is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products you own or control.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal / regulatory compliance, or consumer-protection claims.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights, Apple will have no responsibility for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of such claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in-app or by email at least 7 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
