End-User License Agreement (EULA) — Propound

Last updated: August 6, 2026 Version: 2026-08-06

This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a binding agreement between you and Data Lab Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") for the Propound desktop software, including the application, bundled models, and any updates (collectively, the "Software"). By installing or using the Software, you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

This EULA governs the software installed on your device. Your use of the online Service (including cloud AI, accounts, and billing) is governed by the Terms of Service, and our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy.

1. License grant

Subject to your compliance with this EULA, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the Software on devices you own or control, for your internal professional purposes, during the term of your subscription, your period of authorized free use, or as otherwise authorized by us.

2. Restrictions

You may not:

3. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in this EULA.

4. AI and voice processing

AI drafting features process your content using a cloud AI model; the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy describe what is transmitted. The Software also includes local speech models used for voice features (speech-to-text and text-to-speech) that run on your device; audio processed by those features is not transmitted to us or to any third party by the Software.

The Software does not provide legal advice, and AI output may be inaccurate. As set out more fully in Sections 2 and 3 of the Terms of Service (which apply to your use of the Software's AI features), no attorney-client relationship is created, and you are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and exercising independent professional judgment over all output before any use.

5. Third-party and open-source components

The Software includes third-party and open-source components that are licensed under their own terms, which may grant you additional rights or impose additional conditions. Those terms govern your use of those components and, to the extent of any conflict regarding a given component, control over this EULA for that component. In particular, the bundled speech models are provided under their own license terms (the Whisper speech-recognition model under the MIT License; the Kokoro-82M speech-synthesis model under the Apache License 2.0). A list of third-party components and their licenses is provided in the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES file included with the Software.

6. Updates

We may make updates, upgrades, patches, or new versions of the Software available. You consent to the Software automatically checking for, downloading, and installing updates, which may add, modify, or remove features; you can limit automatic updates only by not using the Software. This EULA governs any such updates unless they are accompanied by a separate license, in which case that license governs. Some updates may be required for continued use of the Software or the Service. We are under no obligation to provide updates, maintenance, or support, and we may discontinue the Software or any feature as described in the Terms of Service.

7. Term and termination

This EULA is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. We may also terminate it if you cease to have an active subscription where one is required. Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and remove copies of the Software from your devices. Termination does not require you to delete — and this EULA does not restrict your continued possession and use of — your own matter content, exported documents, and other work product stored on your device. Sections 2, 3, 5, and 7 through 12 survive termination.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that AI output will be accurate or reliable. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying all output. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Local storage; backups. Your matter content is stored solely in a local database on your device; we hold no copy and cannot recover, restore, or return it in any circumstances, including device failure, loss, or theft, data corruption, software error, or a failed or interrupted update. You are solely responsible for maintaining regular backups of your device and data. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will have no liability for any loss of, corruption of, or inability to access data stored on your device.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Software will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Software or subscription in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Data Lab Inc. and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Software, any use of its output in client matters or court filings, your violation of this EULA, or your violation of any law, professional obligation, or third-party right.

11. Export and compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Software in, a jurisdiction or by a party prohibited under such laws.

12. Governing law; disputes; miscellaneous

This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this EULA or the Software is subject to the dispute-resolution provisions of the Terms of Service (Section 16), including individual binding arbitration, the class-action waiver, and the opt-out right described there. This EULA, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement regarding the Software and supersedes prior agreements on this subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect; our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this EULA without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We may amend this EULA as described in the Terms of Service (Section 15), including by updating the version and posting the revised EULA at https://propoundlegal.com.
