Olive Legal – Terms of Service

Version 1.2 — Effective Date: 10/6/2025

By clicking "I agree" (or similar) and creating an account, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not accept the Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Overview of Service

Olive Legal Inc. ("Olive Legal," "we," "our," or "us") provides an AI‑powered platform that allows legal professionals to:

• Upload case‑related medical records containing protected health information ("PHI");
• Automatically generate medical chronologies from those documents;
• Interact with an AI chatbot to edit, reference, and query the chronologies;
• Perform retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) over underlying medical records; and
• Download both generated chronologies and the original uploaded documents.

The website located at https://www.olive.legal (and any successor or sub‑domain) together with associated software and APIs are collectively referred to as the "Service."

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3. Acceptance & Clickwrap

You accept these Terms when you create an account, click an "I agree" (or similar) button, or otherwise access or use the Service. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" and "your" will refer to that organization.

4. HIPAA Compliance & Business Associate Agreement ("BAA")

Olive Legal is designed to operate as a Business Associate under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Our Business Associate Agreement located at https://v2.olive.legal/baa ("BAA") is incorporated by reference and applies to all Customers that qualify as Covered Entities or Business Associates under HIPAA. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the BAA, the BAA controls with respect to PHI.

4.1 PHI Handling

• All uploaded PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Olive Legal does not use PHI to train its AI models.
• Olive Legal does not sell or disclose PHI to third parties.
• Access to PHI is restricted to the uploading Customer and any users to whom that Customer grants permission.

4.2 Breach Notification

In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, Olive Legal will notify affected Customers without unreasonable delay and, in any case, no later than sixty (60) days after discovery, consistent with 45 C.F.R. §164.410.

4.3 Data Retention & Deletion

Upon termination of the Service or at your written request, Olive Legal will retain PHI for thirty (30) days to allow you to retrieve it, after which Olive Legal will securely delete or de‑identify the PHI, except to the extent we are required to retain certain records (e.g., backups, audit logs) under applicable law or legitimate business purposes.

4.4 De‑Identification Option

At your written request, Olive Legal can return or de‑identify PHI in accordance with 45 C.F.R. §164.514(b).

5. Privacy & Data Protection

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy available at /privacy, which explains what personal data we collect and how we use it.

6. User Responsibilities

You agree that you will:

1. Authorization & Legal Rights. Upload or transmit only content—including PHI—for which you have full legal rights and proper authorization, and ensure you have obtained any consents required by HIPAA or other applicable law.
2. Regulatory Compliance. Maintain your own compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and any other data‑protection or professional‑ethics obligations that apply to your use of the Service and the PHI you upload, access, or disclose.
3. Safeguards & Account Security. Implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (including secure workstation practices and credential hygiene) to protect your account and any PHI you handle through the Service, and immediately notify Olive Legal of any unauthorized use or security incident.
4. Not use the Service for any unlawful, abusive, or unauthorized purpose.

Olive Legal is not liable for any PHI disclosures or HIPAA violations arising from your failure to comply with the foregoing obligations.

7. Payment & Pricing

Olive Legal charges per page processed or by monthly or annual subscription when generating medical chronologies, with automatic discounts for blank, duplicate, or short pages. Custom or enterprise pricing may be agreed upon in a separate written order form.

8. Security Practices

We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, including but not limited to encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

The Service is intended to assist with document review and is not a substitute for professional medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment guidance. You remain solely responsible for any decisions or actions taken based on the Service's output.

The Service uses artificial intelligence models to generate chronologies, summaries, classifications, and other content (“AI Output”) from documents you upload. AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or include errors (including misread OCR text, wrong dates, missed records, or hallucinated content). You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all AI Output against the underlying source records and for any reliance thereon.
