Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Motion Ready, LLC (“Motion Ready,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Motion Ready platform, website, and AI-assisted legal motion drafting services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, submitting a matter, or otherwise accessing the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, including our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Data Processing Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time pursuant to Section 20 below.

Eligibility

The Service is available exclusively to licensed attorneys in good standing with their state bar(s). You must be admitted to practice law in at least one United States jurisdiction and must remain in good standing throughout your use of the Service. The Service is not available to:

• Individuals who are not licensed to practice law;
• Attorneys whose license has been suspended, revoked, or placed on inactive status;
• Persons subject to any bar association disciplinary order prohibiting law practice; or
• Any entity organized primarily to provide legal services without attorney supervision.

Authorized non-attorney staff — including paralegals, legal assistants, and law clerks — may use the Service only under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney who holds an active account and accepts full responsibility for all work product generated on their behalf. We reserve the right to verify bar admission status at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements without advance notice.

Description of Services

Motion Ready provides a structured AI-assisted drafting workflow for legal motion documents. Upon submission of a matter through our intake portal, case materials are processed through our 14-step drafting workflow and a complete filing package is delivered to you for attorney review and filing.

What the Service Provides

Every order delivers a complete filing package consisting of: a formatted motion document; a memorandum of points and authorities with cited legal authority; supporting declarations prepared for attorney review and signature; a proposed order formatted for judicial signature; a citation verification report with line-by-line verification status; and one round of substantive revisions delivered within 24 hours of your revision request.

Service Tiers

The Service is offered in four tiers based on the complexity of the motion type:

• Tier A — Procedural / Routine ($299): Motions to continue, extend deadlines, withdraw as counsel, pro hac vice admission, consolidate or sever matters, substitution of parties, seal, relate cases, and set for trial. Delivered in 2–3 business days.
• Tier B — Intermediate ($599): Motions to compel discovery, protective orders, motions to quash subpoenas, declinatory / dilatory / peremptory exceptions, single motions in limine, and motions to recuse. Delivered in 3–4 business days.
• Tier C — Complex ($999): Complex motions in limine, anti-SLAPP motions, JNOV, motions for new trial, remittitur / additur, and complex sanctions motions. Delivered in 4–5 business days.
• Tier D — Highly Complex / Dispositive ($1,799): Motions for summary judgment, motions for summary adjudication, partial summary judgment, class certification and decertification, preliminary injunctions, temporary restraining orders, and Daubert / Robinson motions. Delivered in 5–7 business days.

Rush processing is available at an additional charge: 72-hour delivery adds 25% to the base tier price; 24-hour delivery adds 50%. Rush availability is subject to capacity and is confirmed at the time of order.

The 14-Step Workflow

Every order — regardless of tier — proceeds through all 14 steps of the drafting workflow. Steps cannot be skipped or abbreviated. The workflow includes two mandatory human review checkpoints: a strategy hold triggered when critical evidence or authority gaps are identified during legal research, and a final approval gate that blocks delivery until a supervising attorney releases the completed package. No deliverable bypasses either checkpoint.

What the Service Does Not Provide

The Service does not constitute the practice of law. Motion Ready is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed between Motion Ready and you or your clients by your use of the Service. All deliverables are drafts for attorney review only. Motion Ready does not guarantee any specific legal outcome, court ruling, or judicial response to any filing prepared using the Service.

AI Assistance Disclosure

Motion Ready utilizes generative artificial intelligence systems to produce motion drafts through a multi-step drafting workflow. You acknowledge and agree to the following disclosures regarding the use of AI in the Service:

• AI generates drafts; attorneys supervise all output. Every deliverable is produced by AI and reviewed by licensed attorneys as part of the workflow's human checkpoint process. The final deliverable requires your independent review before filing.
• No guarantee of outcome. The use of AI in drafting does not guarantee any particular result in any legal proceeding. Courts make independent determinations, and no drafting service — AI-assisted or otherwise — can predict or ensure a favorable outcome.
• Citation verification is included but not infallible. The Service includes automated citation verification against publicly available judicial opinion databases. While this process is designed to minimize citation errors, no verification system is infallible, and you are independently responsible for verifying the accuracy and current validity of every citation before filing.
• AI training policy. Motion Ready does not use your case-specific matter submissions to train or fine-tune AI models. Your data is processed solely to deliver the Service to you.

By submitting a matter for processing, you confirm that you are aware of your professional obligations regarding the use of AI-assisted tools in legal practice under the rules of professional conduct applicable to you, and that your use of the Service complies with those obligations.

Account Registration

To access the Service, you must register for an account by providing accurate and complete information, including your full name, law firm affiliation, bar number, jurisdiction(s) of admission, and a valid email address. You agree to keep this information current and accurate at all times. Providing false registration information — including misrepresenting your bar admission status — is grounds for immediate termination.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must immediately notify us at support@motion-ready.com of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach. Motion Ready will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain adequate account security.

You may not transfer your account to any other person or entity without our prior written consent. Each account is personal to the registered user, though firm-level accounts with multiple authorized users are available as set forth in a separate order form.

Orders and Payment

An order is placed when you complete the intake form, provide all required case materials, and submit payment through the Service. All payments are processed by Stripe. Motion Ready does not store your payment card information. Fees are quoted and charged in U.S. dollars and are due in full at the time of order submission. We do not begin processing an order until payment is confirmed by Stripe.

Pricing

Pricing is determined by the applicable service tier (A, B, C, or D) as described in Section 3 and as set forth in detail on our Pricing page. Rush processing fees are added at checkout when a rush option is selected. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time, with at least 30 days' advance notice of any increase delivered by email to registered users. Price changes do not apply to orders that have already been submitted and paid.

Conflict Check Process

Prior to beginning workflow processing, Motion Ready runs a conflict check against our internal conflicts database. If a conflict is identified — meaning a party to your matter is also a party to another matter currently in the workflow — we will notify you before beginning work. Orders cancelled due to a conflict identified by Motion Ready are not charged; any payment collected will be refunded in full.

Delivery and Review

Upon completion of the final assembly step and release by the supervising attorney at the final blocking checkpoint, the complete filing package is delivered to you through your account dashboard. Delivery timelines are tier-dependent as stated in Section 3 and begin from the time we confirm receipt of all required case materials — not from the time of payment.

Attorney Review Checkpoint

Once a completed filing package is delivered to your account, you have 14 calendar days to review the deliverable and either: (a) accept the deliverable and proceed to filing; (b) submit a revision request using the included revision round; or (c) request a cancellation under the refund schedule in Section 9.

Inactivity Timeout

If no action is taken on a delivered order within 21 calendar days of delivery, the order is deemed accepted and closed. At that point, no refund is available. If you become unreachable or fail to respond to communications regarding your order during order processing, and the order remains stalled for 21 calendar days, the order will be cancelled and you will receive a 50% refund of the amount paid.

Revision Round

Each order includes one round of substantive revisions. Revision requests must be submitted through the revision portal within your account dashboard. Revisions are delivered within 24 hours of your revision request. Additional revision rounds beyond the included round are available at published rates. Revision requests that constitute a fundamentally new matter — including a change in motion type, new parties, or new claims — are not covered by the included revision round and will be treated as a new order.

Your Responsibilities

Your use of the Service does not diminish or transfer any of your professional obligations as a licensed attorney. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the following responsibilities:

• Supervise all work product. You are responsible for independently reviewing every deliverable produced by the Service before filing or serving it on any party. The Service produces drafts; your professional judgment controls what is filed.
• Verify all citations independently. The citation verification report included with each order is a tool to assist your review, not a substitute for it. You must independently verify that every citation is accurate, current good law, and supports the proposition for which it is cited before filing any document.
• Bear full professional responsibility. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and compliance of any document you file with a court, regardless of whether that document was drafted using the Service. Motion Ready's role is limited to drafting assistance.
• Comply with ethics rules. You must comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct, including any obligation to supervise non-attorney work product, disclose the use of AI-assisted tools to clients or courts where required, and obtain informed client consent before sharing client information with third-party service providers.
• Provide accurate materials. You represent that all case materials submitted through the Service are accurate, relate to actual litigation or proceedings, and do not contain fabricated facts, fabricated citations, or misrepresentations of any kind.
• Maintain a filing record. You are responsible for retaining copies of all filed documents, court responses, and associated correspondence. Motion Ready's data retention policy is limited as described in Section 12.

Cancellations and Refunds

Because Motion Ready commits significant resources immediately upon payment, refund eligibility decreases as an order progresses through the review workflow. Refunds are calculated based on the stage at which a cancellation request is received and confirmed.

Milestone-Based Refund Schedule

This schedule is currently under counsel review for a final customer-milestone restatement. The percentages below remain in force; the stage descriptions will be finalized before the next material update to these Terms.

Special Circumstances

• Conflict cancellations: If Motion Ready cancels your order due to a conflict of interest identified in our conflicts database, you will be refunded 100% of the amount paid — no charge.
• Inactivity timeout: If an order is cancelled due to your failure to respond or provide required materials for 21 calendar days during order processing, you will receive a 50% refund.
• Attorney review period: Cancellations requested during the 14-day attorney review window after delivery are not eligible for a refund. Your remedy at that stage is the included revision round.

To request a cancellation, submit a written request through your account dashboard or by email to support@motion-ready.com. The applicable refund amount is determined by the phase confirmed at the time your request is received. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7–10 business days.

Intellectual Property

Your Content

You retain ownership of all case materials, documents, and information you upload to the Service (“Your Content”). By submitting Your Content, you grant Motion Ready a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and use Your Content solely as necessary to deliver the Service to you and to fulfill our obligations under these Terms.

Delivered Work Product

Upon full payment for an order, Motion Ready assigns to you all right, title, and interest in the specific motion drafts, memoranda, declarations, proposed orders, and citation verification reports delivered to you for that order (“Deliverables”). Motion Ready retains no continuing ownership interest in completed Deliverables. This assignment is subject to the confidentiality obligations and the restrictions on reverse engineering set forth in these Terms.

Motion Ready's Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including its underlying software, AI workflow architecture, citation verification system, prompt engineering, phase configuration, and all associated documentation and website content — is and remains the exclusive property of Motion Ready and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any license to use Motion Ready's trademarks, service marks, trade names, or logos without our prior written consent. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying AI models, prompts, or workflow logic of the Service.

Confidentiality

Motion Ready recognizes that case materials you submit may constitute attorney work product or privileged communications. We treat all matter submissions as confidential and implement technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect that confidentiality.

We do not sell, license, or disclose your case-specific matter submissions to any third party, except: (a) to the extent necessary to deliver the Service using contracted AI infrastructure subprocessors operating under data processing agreements; (b) as required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory obligation; or (c) with your express prior written consent.

You are responsible for ensuring that your submission of client materials to the Service complies with your professional obligations under applicable rules of professional conduct, including any obligation to obtain informed client consent before disclosing client information to third-party service providers.

Data Retention

Motion Ready retains your case materials, submitted documents, and delivered work product for a period of 365 days from the date of order completion or cancellation. At the end of the 365-day retention period, all matter-specific data — including uploaded documents, generated drafts, revision history, and citation verification reports — is permanently deleted from our systems and from all subprocessor systems under our control.

You may request earlier deletion of your matter data at any time by submitting a written request to support@motion-ready.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 calendar days. Note that earlier deletion will render us unable to support any warranty or revision claim related to that order.

Account registration data — including your name, bar number, and email address — is retained for the life of your account and for a period of 3 years following account closure, unless earlier deletion is required by applicable law. Billing records are retained for 7 years as required for financial compliance purposes.

For full details on how we collect, process, and store personal information, see our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

Conflicts of Interest

Motion Ready maintains an internal conflicts database and runs a conflict check on every new order before beginning workflow processing. A conflict exists when a party to your submitted matter is also a party to another matter currently active in the workflow, creating a risk that confidential information from one matter could inform or influence the processing of another.

If a conflict is identified, Motion Ready will notify you before any work begins. You will have the option to proceed on an acknowledged basis if the conflict does not implicate your professional obligations, or to cancel the order at no charge.

This conflict-check process is designed to protect the confidentiality of all users' client information. It does not substitute for your own independent conflict analysis under applicable rules of professional conduct. You remain solely responsible for conducting your own conflicts check with respect to your clients and matters before submitting any order.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MOTION READY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, MALPRACTICE CLAIMS, COURT SANCTIONS, OR DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS — ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF MOTION READY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ALL CASES, MOTION READY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO MOTION READY FOR THE SPECIFIC ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain categories of damages. If these limitations apply in your jurisdiction, some or all of the limitations above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights under applicable law.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. MOTION READY MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT DELIVERABLES WILL BE FREE FROM ERROR OR OMISSION, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR FREE FROM DEFECT.

Motion Ready does not warrant the legal sufficiency, accuracy, or completeness of any deliverable for your specific matter. All deliverables require independent attorney review before filing. The citation verification process, while rigorous, does not guarantee that every citation is current good law or that no adverse authority exists. You must conduct your own independent legal research before relying on any citation in a deliverable.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MOTION READY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Motion Ready and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or any applicable law;
• Your submission of false, misleading, or unauthorized case materials;
• Your filing of any deliverable with a court without adequate independent attorney review;
• Any breach of your professional obligations to your clients in connection with the Service;
• Any claim by a third party arising from documents you filed that were drafted using the Service; or
• Any infringement of a third party's intellectual property or other rights by Your Content.

Motion Ready reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate fully with Motion Ready in asserting any available defenses and will not settle any claim without Motion Ready's prior written consent.

Termination

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. You may close your account by submitting a written request through your account dashboard or to support@motion-ready.com. Account closure does not affect any order already in progress; the refund schedule in Section 9 applies to any active orders at the time of closure.

Motion Ready may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without notice or liability, if: (a) you violate these Terms; (b) we are unable to verify or authenticate your bar admission status; (c) your bar license is suspended, revoked, or placed on inactive status; (d) we have reason to believe your account has been compromised; or (e) your use of the Service creates risk of harm to Motion Ready, other users, or third parties.

Upon termination of your account: your right to access the Service ceases immediately; any orders in progress will be cancelled and refunded pursuant to Section 9; your data will be retained for the remainder of the 365-day retention period as described in Section 12 and then permanently deleted; and all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including confidentiality, intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will continue in full force.

Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to contact Motion Ready at support@motion-ready.com and provide written notice describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The parties will attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of that notice.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. The award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment on the award may not be appealed except on grounds specified in the Federal Arbitration Act.

Class Action Waiver

These Terms govern a commercial agreement between two businesses — a licensed law firm or attorney acting in a professional capacity and Motion Ready, LLC. You and Motion Ready each expressly waive any right to bring or participate in claims on a class, consolidated, or representative basis. All claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacities only. Because this is a business-to-business agreement between commercial parties, consumer protection statutes restricting class action waivers do not apply. If this class action waiver is nonetheless found unenforceable in a particular proceeding, the arbitration clause will not apply to that proceeding.

Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, without first pursuing informal resolution or arbitration.

The provisions of this Section 18 are severable from each other and from the remainder of these Terms. If any provision of this Section 18 is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

For any dispute not subject to the arbitration provision in Section 18, or for any proceeding to enforce an arbitration award, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Tarrant County or Dallas County, Texas.

Changes to Terms

Motion Ready may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email to the address associated with your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

For changes required by applicable law or necessary to address an urgent security issue, we may provide shorter notice or no advance notice, but will notify you as promptly as practicable following the change.

We maintain an archive of prior versions of these Terms, available upon written request at support@motion-ready.com. The date at the top of this page reflects when the current version was last revised.

Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms — except for the obligation to pay fees when due — to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by events beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including: acts of God or natural disasters; pandemics or public health emergencies; acts of war, terrorism, or civil disorder; governmental orders or regulations; labor disputes; failures of telecommunications networks or internet infrastructure; outages or service disruptions by third-party cloud infrastructure providers; outages, service disruptions, or policy changes by third-party AI model providers; deprecation or discontinuation of AI model versions or APIs upon which the Service depends; failures of third-party payment processors; cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party infrastructure; or any other event or circumstance not within the reasonable control of the affected party, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The preceding list is illustrative and not exhaustive.

If a Force Majeure Event prevents delivery of your order for more than ten (10) consecutive business days, you may cancel the affected order and receive a full refund. This refund right is your sole remedy for a Force Majeure Event. The affected party must notify the other party within forty-eight (48) hours of becoming aware of the event.

General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If reformation is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Each limitation of liability clause set forth in these Terms is independently severable from all other provisions and shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Data Processing Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Motion Ready with respect to the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings — whether written or oral — relating to the subject matter hereof. No course of dealing or usage of trade shall be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter in any manner the express terms of these Terms.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Motion Ready. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision is void. Motion Ready may freely assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without your consent and without notice, provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms.

Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party to be effective, and any such waiver shall apply only to the specific instance for which it is granted.

Notices

Notices to Motion Ready under these Terms must be sent in writing to support@motion-ready.com. Notices to you will be sent to the email address you provided at registration or as subsequently updated in your account settings. Notices are deemed received twenty-four (24) hours after electronic transmission, provided no automated delivery failure notification is received by the sending party.

Survival

The following sections survive any expiration or termination of these Terms and continue to bind the parties: Section 4 (AI Assistance Disclosure), Section 8 (Your Responsibilities), Section 10 (Intellectual Property), Section 11 (Confidentiality), Section 12 (Data Retention), Section 14 (Limitation of Liability), Section 15 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 16 (Indemnification), Section 18 (Dispute Resolution), Section 19 (Governing Law), Section 21 (Force Majeure), and this Section 22 (General Provisions).

Headings

Section headings in these Terms are for convenience and reference only. They do not constitute a part of these Terms and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of any provision herein.

Electronic Acceptance

Your acceptance of these Terms by clicking an acceptance button, checking a box, or otherwise indicating agreement through an electronic interface constitutes a valid, binding signature with the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature under applicable electronic signature laws, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
