Terms of Service

Welcome to Untangle.

Untangle is an AI-powered legal technology platform that provides information and guidance for use in Connecticut Dissolution of Marriage proceedings. Untangle helps users navigate the divorce process with step-by-step guidance, complete required legal forms pursuant to the Connecticut Rules of Practice, understand Connecticut Dissolution of Marriage requirements and controlling statutes, and organize case information and documentation.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our legal technology application (the "Service"). This document is a binding legal agreement. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Untangle offers several types of accounts. The terms in this document apply to all account types. Certain sections contain additional terms that apply only to specific account types as indicated.

Client accounts

Individual accounts for people navigating a Connecticut divorce. Client accounts may be created directly through Untangle or by invitation from an attorney or firm through Untangle Teams.

Attorney accounts

Accounts for licensed attorneys who use Untangle Teams to manage client cases, collaborate with clients, and supervise AI-assisted work product.

Professional accounts

Accounts for non-attorney professionals — such as mediators, divorce coaches, financial advisors, and accountants — who are invited to collaborate on a client's case through Untangle Teams.

Firm & team accounts

Organizational accounts that allow a law firm or professional practice to manage team members, invite clients, and administer billing through Untangle Teams. The firm administrator is responsible for managing access and permissions for all team members.

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding agreement to use this Service. By using Untangle, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements.

If you create an attorney account, you represent that you are a licensed attorney in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. If you create a professional account, you represent that you hold any licenses or certifications required for your stated role.

Untangle is a technology provider

Untangle is a legal technology company. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The Service provides general legal information, AI-generated suggestions, and automated document generation tools. No attorney-client relationship is formed between you and Untangle by your use of the Service.

Client accounts

If you use Untangle as a client without an attorney, the information provided by the Service is not a substitute for legal advice from a qualified attorney. If you require legal advice for a specific issue, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Attorney-supervised use

If you are a client who has been invited to Untangle by your attorney or law firm, your legal relationship is with your attorney — not with Untangle. Untangle provides the technology platform through which you and your attorney collaborate. Your attorney is responsible for providing legal advice and supervising the use of any AI-generated work product.

If you use Untangle directly as a consumer without an attorney or law firm supervising your use, communications between you and Untangle's AI assistant (Grace) are not attorney-client privileged communications with Untangle. Untangle is not your lawyer and does not provide legal advice.

If an attorney or law firm invites a client to use Grace inside an Untangle Teams workspace created, administered, or enabled by that attorney or law firm, Grace operates as a technology tool made available to help the attorney or law firm with client intake, document preparation, case organization, attorney review, and attorney-supervised legal services. In that setting, the client's legal relationship is with the attorney or law firm, and Untangle acts as a confidential technology service provider facilitating that attorney-client collaboration.

Client messages, documents, responses, AI prompts, AI outputs, attorney notes, case data, and related activity within an attorney-supervised Teams workspace are "Attorney Client Data." Untangle will treat Attorney Client Data as confidential and will use it only to provide, secure, maintain, support, and improve the Service for the applicable attorney or law firm, or as otherwise authorized by that attorney or law firm.

Untangle does not intentionally waive, and is not authorized to waive, any attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, confidentiality protection, or similar protection that may apply to Attorney Client Data. Attorneys and firms remain responsible for advising clients about privilege, confidentiality, work-product protection, professional obligations, access permissions, and the limits of any protection under applicable law. No term in this agreement guarantees that a court or other authority will treat any communication, fact, document, or data as privileged, confidential, or protected from discovery.

Untangle Teams is designed to preserve client confidentiality and support attorney-client privilege and work-product protections when used under attorney supervision. Underlying facts entered into the Service, such as financial information, parenting facts, dates, debts, assets, income, expenses, documents, and court-required disclosures, may still be discoverable or required to be disclosed under applicable law.

If you use the Service under an attorney account, the following additional terms apply:

• You are solely responsible for all legal advice you provide to your clients, whether or not that advice is informed by AI-generated content from the Service
• You must independently review and verify all AI-generated documents, suggestions, and work product before relying on them or providing them to clients
• You are responsible for complying with all applicable rules of professional conduct, including duties of competence, diligence, communication, confidentiality, and supervision
• You are responsible for determining whether and how to disclose your use of AI tools to your clients as required by applicable ethics rules
• You are responsible for managing conflicts of interest and ensuring that your use of the Service does not create impermissible conflicts
• You are responsible for ensuring that access permissions and sharing settings for case data are configured appropriately to protect client confidentiality

If you use the Service under a professional account (mediator, coach, financial advisor, accountant, or similar role), the following additional terms apply:

• Your access to case information is limited to what the inviting party has shared with you through the Service's permissions system
• You must use case information solely for the purpose for which you were invited and in accordance with any applicable professional obligations
• You must not share, export, or disclose case information to third parties except as required to fulfill your professional role or as required by law
• You are responsible for complying with any licensing, certification, or ethical requirements applicable to your profession

If you administer a firm or team account, the following additional terms apply:

• The firm administrator is responsible for managing team member access and ensuring that all team members comply with these Terms
• The firm administrator is responsible for ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to client case data
• When a team member is removed or leaves the firm, the administrator must promptly revoke their access

Legal demands for Attorney Client Data

If Untangle receives a subpoena, discovery request, court order, or other legal demand seeking Attorney Client Data, Untangle will, unless legally prohibited, promptly notify the responsible attorney or law firm and provide a reasonable opportunity to object, seek a protective order, or assert attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, confidentiality protection, or other applicable protections before Untangle discloses the requested Attorney Client Data.

AI processing

Untangle will not use Attorney Client Data to train third-party foundation models or general Untangle AI models. AI model providers and other subprocessors may process Attorney Client Data only as necessary to provide the Service and subject to confidentiality, security, and data-use restrictions.

Support and operational access

Untangle personnel and service providers may access Attorney Client Data only as needed to provide, secure, maintain, support, or improve the Service for the applicable attorney or law firm; comply with law; enforce these Terms; or respond to security, abuse, or reliability issues.
