Terms of Use
Last updated: September 23, 2026
These Terms of Use are a binding legal agreement. They include a disclaimer of warranties, a limitation of liability, an indemnification obligation, and a binding arbitration provision and class-action waiver that affect how disputes are resolved. By creating an account, purchasing, or using DocVault, you agree to these Terms and to our Legal Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the DocVault — Consumer Debt Defense website, applications, and services (collectively, the “Service”), operated by DocVault (“DocVault,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service you represent that you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract, and you agree to be bound by these Terms and all documents incorporated by reference, including our Legal Disclaimer.
2. What the Service Is — and Is Not
DocVault is a self-help document-preparation and information service. It provides tools, templates, and general information that help you prepare your own documents based on information you provide. DocVault is not a law firm, is not your attorney, and does not provide legal advice or representation. Use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship. You are responsible for reviewing, correcting, and deciding how to use any document. Please review the full Legal Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms.
3. Eligibility and Account
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used unlawfully.
4. Fees, Payment, and Refunds
Certain features require payment (for example, per-document fees or subscription plans). Prices are shown at the point of purchase and may change. By purchasing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method. Because documents are digital products powered by paid AI compute that is consumed immediately upon generation, all sales are final and fees are non-refundable except where required by law. See Section 4a (Non-Refundable Computing Credits; No Chargebacks) for the full policy, including the Right to Cure and chargeback waiver. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; you may cancel at any time to stop future renewals.
4a. Non-Refundable Computing Credits; No Chargebacks
Each document you generate is powered by paid, on-demand artificial-intelligence compute. When you authorize a purchase, you are buying one (1) Non-Refundable Computing Credit priced at $5.00 (or unlimited Computing Credits under a subscription plan). A Computing Credit is consumed instantly and permanently at the moment of generation to pay for the server processing power required to run the AI model. Because that server resource is used up and cannot be recovered, all sales are final, the fee is fully non-refundable, and you expressly waive any right to a refund or to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for a Computing Credit that has been consumed.
Right to Cure (free regeneration). If you are unsatisfied with the text or formatting of a generated document, your exclusive remedy is our unlimited free regeneration tools, which let you modify and regenerate the output during your session at no additional charge. This Right to Cure is provided in lieu of any refund.
Authorization and fraud protection. Before each generation you must affirmatively authorize the charge by checking a consent box that restates this policy verbatim. We record evidence of that authorization (including timestamp, IP address, and device information) and of the compute consumed. All card purchases are processed with 3-D Secure (SCA) authentication where supported, which verifies the transaction with your card-issuing bank. By completing a purchase you acknowledge and agree to these terms.
Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable right you may have under applicable law. Where the law grants you a right that cannot be waived, that right controls to the extent required.
5. License and Acceptable Use
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service and the documents you generate for your own personal, non-commercial, self-help use. You agree not to: (a) resell, redistribute, or provide the Service or generated documents to third parties as a service; (b) use the Service to practice law or provide legal advice to others; (c) submit false, fraudulent, or unlawful information; (d) copy, scrape, reverse engineer, or misappropriate the Service or its content; (e) attempt to circumvent payment, content protection, or security measures; or (f) use the Service in violation of any applicable law.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, text, and templates, is owned by DocVault or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted above, no rights are transferred to you.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL DOCUMENTS AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DOCUMENT WILL BE LEGALLY SUFFICIENT OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. See our Legal Disclaimer for details.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DOCVAULT OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR ANY DOCUMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO DOCVAULT IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DocVault and its owners, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service or any document; (b) your violation of these Terms or the Legal Disclaimer; (c) the accuracy or truthfulness of information you provide; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
10. Binding Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except for claims that qualify for small-claims court and requests for injunctive relief, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may seek relief in small claims court for qualifying claims. You and DocVault waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which DocVault is organized, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provision. Subject to the arbitration provision, the state and federal courts located in that state will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matters not subject to arbitration.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and arbitration) will survive.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above indicates the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Legal Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and DocVault regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on that subject.
This document is a general template provided for DocVault’s use and does not itself constitute legal advice. DocVault should have these Terms and the Legal Disclaimer reviewed and customized by a licensed attorney — including inserting its legal entity name, governing-law state, arbitration provider, and contact address — before relying on them.
