Terms of service

Effective 2026-07-04 · PlainLanguage.us is a product of extrAIntelligence LLC

These terms are short because the deal is simple: you pay for a monthly allowance of API calls, we translate legal terms, and nobody surprises anybody.

What the service is

PlainLanguage identifies known legal terms in text you provide and returns plain-language renderings from a curated glossary, through a web workspace and an API. An optional export helps you continue with your own AI tools, outside our service and under your own accounts.

What the service is not

It is not legal advice. A translation helps you understand wording; it doesn't tell you what to do, and it isn't a substitute for a qualified attorney reading your document. For decisions that matter, involve one.

Plans, trial, and billing

• Two plans: Core ($99/month, 5,000 calls) and Professional ($299/month, 50,000 calls). Translation and prompt-export requests are metered; usage checks and term lookups are not.
• The free trial requires a card, costs $0 for 30 days, and converts to the paid Core plan on day 30 unless you cancel first. One trial per email address.
• If you use up a month's calls, requests pause until the period resets. We never bill overage.
• Cancel any time through the self-serve billing portal; service continues to the end of the paid period.

Your API key

The key is shown once. You're responsible for keeping it secret; anyone holding it can spend your quota. If it may have leaked, roll it immediately. The old key stops working the moment the new one is issued.

Acceptable use

• Don't resell raw API access or systematically extract the glossary to build a competing dataset.
• Don't send us content you have no right to process.
• Don't probe, overload, or interfere with the service.

Your content

Text you submit stays yours. We claim no rights to it, we don't store it, and we process it only to return your result (see the privacy policy).

Warranties and liability, plainly

The service is provided "as is". We work hard on the glossary's accuracy, but legal language is contextual and we can't promise a rendering fits your situation. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is capped at what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Changes and contact

If these terms change materially, we'll post the change here with a new effective date and, for subscribers, say so by email. Questions: hello@plainlanguage.us.
