Terms of Service
Last Updated: June 29, 2026
Reede is a service of Reede Systems Inc.("Reede", "we", "us", or "our"), a corporation incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on May 21, 2026. These Terms of Service govern your use of that service. Read them carefully — by creating an account or using the service, you agree to them.
1. About these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and Reede Systems Inc. ("Reede", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your use of the Reede service (the "Service") accessed through reede.ca and any related domains.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy, Subprocessor List, and Security Whitepaper. The Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service.
The Service is currently available only to users in Canada. If you are not in Canada, you may not use the Service.
You represent that the information you provide when creating an account is accurate and that you are authorized to use the Service on behalf of any firm or organization you identify.
3. The Service
Reede is an AI-assisted legal workflow platform for Canadian legal practice. Its workflows are jurisdiction-specific and are being rolled out province by province, beginning with British Columbia. Current capabilities include minute book review, ongoing entity record management, document generation, and in-app document signing, with additional practice areas and provinces in development. Reede generates structured drafts and reports for you to review; you verify the findings and outputs against the applicable law and your own professional judgment.
Reede also offers the Reede Room, a separate subscription that gives you access to a library of practice resources — precedents, document templates, guides, and checklists for transactional work. These resources are working drafts built on established practice structures; they are not legal advice and not a substitute for your firm's own executed precedents, and you remain responsible for reviewing and adapting any resource before relying on it. If you request a resource that is not in the library, we will use reasonable efforts to provide it but do not guarantee that any particular resource will be created or made available.
Reede is a software tool, not a law firm, and does not practice law or provide legal advice. The Service produces analysis and drafts intended to support a qualified paralegal or lawyer, not to replace one. Outputs identify items a careful reviewer would want to investigate. They do not constitute legal advice, do not establish a solicitor-client relationship between you and Reede, and must not be treated as a final determination of compliance.
You remain professionally responsible for any work you perform or deliver based on a Reede output. You are responsible for verifying findings, exercising professional judgment, and complying with the obligations of your profession (including the rules of your professional regulator — such as your provincial law society — and your employer's policies).
4. Your account
You are responsible for:
- Keeping your account credentials confidential
- Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Ensuring that your use of the Service complies with your firm's policies and any duties you owe to clients
We may suspend or terminate accounts that are inactive, that we reasonably believe are being used in breach of these Terms, or where we are required to do so by law.
5. Acceptable use
You agree that you will not:
- Upload content you are not authorized to share with Reede or its service providers
- Use the Service to violate any law or any obligation owed to a client, employer, or regulator
- Attempt to access another user's account or data
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or training data of the Service
- Use the Service to build a competing product, including by scraping output for training another AI model
- Attempt to bypass usage limits, rate limits, or security controls
- Upload malware, malicious files, or content unrelated to your legitimate use of the Service
- Use the Service in a manner that interferes with its operation or with other users' use of it
We may suspend access immediately for serious or repeated breaches of this section.
6. Your content
You retain all rights to the documents and files you upload and the documents and reports we generate for you. We do not claim ownership of your content.
You grant Reede a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your uploaded content solely for the purpose of operating the Service — that is, generating your documents and reports, displaying them to you, and supporting your use of the Service. We do not use your content to train AI models. The contractual posture governing our AI provider is described in the Privacy Policy. Your rights over your personal information — including access, correction, withdrawing consent, and complaining to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial privacy regulator — are set out in the Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for having the right to upload the documents you submit. By uploading content, you represent that you have the necessary authority — for example, that you are a paralegal or lawyer authorized by the client (or the entity or its representatives) whose matter you are working on.
7. Documents and reports generated by the Service
Documents and reports generated by the Service are made available to you for your professional use. You may use them for any lawful purpose related to your professional practice, including delivering them to your clients.
You acknowledge that:
- Generated documents and reports are AI-assisted and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies
- They require human review by a qualified paralegal or lawyer before being relied upon
- Where a report includes a verification checklist (such as a minute book review), the checklist is a working tool; it does not guarantee that a complete review has been performed
You take professional responsibility for any deliverable you produce based on a Reede output.
8. Fees and billing
If you are on a paid plan, you authorize us to charge the payment method on file through our payment processor (Stripe) for all subscription and per-matter fees.
Subscription fees are billed monthly or annually in advance. Per-matter fees, where they apply, are billed for each matter you open. All AI processing is included in these fees — there are no per-document or other usage-metered charges.
Taxes.Fees stated for the Service are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, GST, HST, PST, or similar taxes imposed on the Service, other than taxes based on Reede's net income. Where Reede is required to collect tax, it will be added to your invoice.
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access until the end of that period.
We do not offer prorated refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by law or where we determine in our discretion that a refund is warranted.
We may change pricing for new subscription periods on at least 30 days' notice. Existing subscriptions continue at their current rate until renewal.
9. Intellectual property
The Service itself — including the software, design, prompts, checklists, and other materials provided by Reede — is owned by Reede or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any of this to you.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms for the duration of your subscription.
10. Confidentiality
We treat the content of your uploads and reports as confidential. We will not access them except as needed to operate the Service, to respond to your support requests, or to comply with legal obligations. Where we do access them for these purposes, the access is logged.
Our Privacy Policy and Security Whitepaper describe these protections in more detail.
11. Suspension and termination
You may terminate your account at any time through the Service or by contacting us. On termination, we will delete your account data in accordance with the retention rules described in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your account if:
- You materially breach these Terms
- We are required to do so by law
- Your continued use creates a risk of harm to Reede, other users, or third parties
- Your subscription has lapsed for non-payment, after reasonable notice
We aim to provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure where possible. Where the breach involves potential harm or legal risk, we may act without notice.
Data access on termination.When you cancel your subscription, your account remains in read-only mode for 30 days. During this window you can continue to access and download your reports and individual entity documents, and may request a complete export of your entity data by emailing privacy@reede.ca. After 30 days, your account, reports, entity records, and personal information are permanently deleted from Reede's primary systems, subject only to audit log and billing record retention as described in the Privacy Policy.
If Reede ceases operations.If we discontinue the Service, we will give active users at least 90 days' advance notice by email and on-platform notification, and will keep user data accessible for download for at least 90 days after the Service is no longer operating, before permanently deleting customer data.
On termination by either side, your access to the Service ends (subject to the read-only window above). Sections of these Terms that by their nature survive termination — including ownership, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure, or that it will produce results meeting your specific requirements.
Without limiting the foregoing: Reede does not warrant that any report is complete, accurate, or sufficient for any particular purpose. Reports are AI-assisted analyses requiring professional review. Reliance on a Reede report without independent professional review is at your own risk.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility.
- Reede's total cumulative liability to you under or in connection with these Terms or the Service, regardless of the legal theory, is limited to the amount you paid Reede for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
These limits apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited (such as for fraud, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct, where applicable).
14. Indemnification
By Reede:Reede will defend you against, and pay any final award arising from, a third-party claim that the Service as provided by Reede infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, provided you promptly notify us of the claim, give us sole control of the defence and any settlement, and reasonably cooperate. This is Reede's sole liability and your sole remedy for IP infringement claims.
By you: You will defend Reede against, and pay any final award arising from, a third-party claim arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Service, (c) your upload of content you were not authorized to upload, or (d) any deliverable you produce or provide to a client based on a Reede report — provided we promptly notify you of the claim, give you sole control of the defence and any settlement, and reasonably cooperate.
The party seeking indemnification will not settle a claim in a way that admits liability on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent.
15. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in British Columbia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the courts of British Columbia, and you and Reede submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent change.
For material changes, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and through a notice in the Service before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, your remedy is to stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.
17. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other documents incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and Reede about the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate transaction (such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all assets).
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
No agency. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Reede.
Notices. We may give notice to you by email to the address on file or by posting in the Service. You may give notice to us at the email below.
