This Disclaimer applies to the Querious website (www.querious.ai) (the "Website") and the Querious AI meeting intelligence platform (the "Platform"), both operated by Querious, Inc. ("Querious," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Website or the Platform, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

‍

1. No Legal Advice

Querious is a technology company, not a law firm. Neither the Website nor the Platform provides legal advice, legal opinions, legal analysis, or legal recommendations of any kind.

Information on the Website, including blog posts, articles, case studies, marketing materials, and product descriptions, is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a qualified attorney.

AI-Generated Outputs produced by the Platform (including meeting summaries, action items, conversation insights, issue-spotting prompts, and follow-up task suggestions) are generated by artificial intelligence systems and are intended solely to assist licensed attorneys in their legal practice. Querious does not provide legal advice or legal opinions. However, AI-Generated Outputs may constitute attorney work product and may be protected by the attorney-client privilege depending on the circumstances of their creation and use. Specifically: (a) AI-Generated Outputs derived from privileged attorney-client communications may retain the privilege of the underlying communication under the derivative-document doctrine, provided the conditions for privilege are otherwise satisfied; (b) AI-Generated Outputs created by an attorney in anticipation of litigation may constitute attorney work product under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(3), and may qualify as opinion work product to the extent they reflect the attorney’s mental impressions, conclusions, or legal theories (see Tremblay v. OpenAI, Inc., No. 23-cv-03223-AMO (N.D. Cal. 2024)); and (c) the determination of whether privilege or work product protection applies to any particular output depends on the specific facts, circumstances, and applicable law. Querious’s architecture is designed to support these protections through its Kovel agency framework (Terms of Service Section 2), ephemeral processing, and confidentiality obligations, but Querious cannot guarantee that any court will find privilege or work product protection applicable in a given case. The Authorized User retains sole professional responsibility for all legal judgments, advice given to clients, professional obligations, and the proper assertion and preservation of privilege and work product protection.

‍

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of the Website or the Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Querious. Querious does not practice law. Submitting information through the Website (via contact forms, demo requests, or other means) does not create a confidential or privileged relationship with Querious.

The attorney-client relationship exists solely between the Authorized User (the attorney) and their client. Querious’s role under the Terms of Service is that of a technology service provider operating in a capacity analogous to a paralegal or court reporter for the limited purpose of preserving attorney-client privilege.

‍

3. AI Accuracy Disclaimer

AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS ARE PRODUCED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, HALLUCINATIONS, OR MISATTRIBUTIONS.

Specifically, AI-Generated Outputs may:

(a) Incorrectly attribute statements to the wrong meeting participant;

(b) Omit material information discussed during a meeting;

(c) Generate content that was not actually discussed ("hallucinations");

(d) Mischaracterize the substance, tone, or context of meeting discussions;

(e) Contain factual errors in legal research prompts, issue-spotting suggestions, or follow-up task recommendations; or

(f) Fail to capture nuance, sarcasm, ambiguity, or non-verbal communication.

The Authorized User is solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and correcting all AI-Generated Outputs before relying upon them for any purpose, including but not limited to client advice, court filings, legal strategy, or settlement negotiations. Querious does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose of any AI-Generated Output.

‍

4. Privilege and Work Product Protections

Querious’s Terms of Service establish a contractual framework designed to support the preservation of attorney-client privilege and work product protection, including Kovel agency provisions (TOS Section 2), ephemeral processing (TOS Section 3.1), a subpoena response protocol (TOS Section 4), and confidentiality obligations (TOS Section 14.14). These provisions are specifically designed to enable attorneys to assert that communications processed through the Platform, and the AI-Generated Outputs derived from those communications, retain their privileged and protected status.

Authorized Users may assert attorney-client privilege and work product protection over AI-Generated Outputs when the conditions for such protections are met. For example, when the Platform processes a confidential attorney-client meeting and generates a summary of that meeting, the attorney may assert that: (a) the underlying meeting content is a privileged attorney-client communication; (b) the AI-Generated Output is a derivative of that privileged communication and retains its privilege; and (c) the AI-Generated Output constitutes attorney work product prepared in anticipation of litigation to the extent it reflects the attorney’s mental impressions, legal theories, or case strategy.

However, Querious cannot and does not guarantee that any court will find privilege or work product protection applicable in a given case.

The determination of whether attorney-client privilege or work product protection applies to any particular communication or output is a legal question that depends on the specific facts and circumstances, the applicable jurisdiction, and the relevant law. No technology provider, including Querious, can make this determination on the attorney’s behalf. The Authorized User is solely responsible for asserting, preserving, and defending privilege and work product claims, including maintaining litigation holds on AI-Generated Outputs when litigation is reasonably anticipated.

Querious strongly recommends that Authorized Users:

(a) Seek an FRE 502(d) protective order at the outset of any litigation in which the Platform has been used;

(b) Document their rationale for selecting Querious, including its security and privilege protections, in the client’s matter file;

(c) Consult the Querious Engagement Letter Addendum for client disclosure guidance; and

(d) Consider whether the sensitivity of any particular matter warrants additional protective measures beyond those provided by the Platform.

‍

5. Website Content Disclaimer

The Website may contain marketing materials, blog posts, articles, case studies, testimonials, product descriptions, pricing information, and other content. This content:

(a) Is provided for general informational and promotional purposes only;

(b) May not reflect the complete, current, or precise functionality of the Platform;

(c) May describe features that are planned, in development, or available only on certain subscription tiers;

(d) Does not form part of any contractual agreement between Querious and its users; and

(e) Should not be relied upon as a substitute for reviewing the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or BIPA Addendum.

In the event of any conflict between Website content and the governing contractual documents, the contractual documents shall control.

‍

6. Third-Party AI Provider Disclaimer

The Platform uses AI models provided by third-party providers (currently including OpenAI and Anthropic) operating within private, isolated cloud instances. While Querious contractually prohibits these providers from using Authorized User data for any purpose other than real-time processing, Querious does not control and cannot guarantee the internal operations of third-party AI providers. Querious’s representations regarding third-party provider behavior are based on contractual commitments and architectural controls, not direct control over third-party systems.

‍

7. Biometric Data Disclaimer

When speaker identification features are enabled, the Platform may process voice characteristics (voiceprints) of meeting participants. While Querious’s architecture processes voiceprint data ephemerally (in volatile memory only, destroyed within 60 seconds of meeting conclusion), the legal classification and regulatory treatment of biometric data varies by jurisdiction. Querious’s compliance measures are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14/1 et seq.) and similar state statutes, but Querious does not represent that its measures satisfy the requirements of every jurisdiction in which the Platform may be used. The Authorized User is responsible for determining whether additional biometric privacy compliance measures are required in their jurisdiction.

‍

8. No Professional Malpractice Coverage

Querious maintains errors and omissions insurance and cyber liability insurance. However, Querious’s insurance does not cover the Authorized User’s professional malpractice liability. The Authorized User is responsible for maintaining their own professional liability (malpractice) insurance sufficient to cover their legal practice, including any claims arising from the use of AI tools in their practice.

‍

9. Service Availability

Querious does not guarantee that the Website or the Platform will be available at all times, in all locations, or without interruption. The Website and Platform may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server failures, internet disruptions, cyberattacks, or other causes beyond our reasonable control. Querious shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience resulting from the unavailability of the Website or Platform.

10. Applicable Agreements

This Disclaimer supplements but does not replace the following governing documents, each of which contains additional important terms:

(a) Website Terms of Use — governs your use of the querious.ai website;

(b) Terms of Service — governs registered users’ access to and use of the Querious Platform;

(d) BIPA Addendum — governs biometric data processing for meetings involving Illinois participants; and
