Draft pending legal review. These terms must be reviewed by counsel and completed with the operating entity, the governing law and venue, a notice address, and any dispute resolution provisions before launch. A product that assesses severance agreements is held to a higher standard on the unauthorized practice of law than an ordinary consumer site, and that question in particular should be reviewed in every state where the service is offered.
1. Not legal advice, and not a law firm
Severance.help is an informational service. It is not a law firm, it does not practise law, and it does not provide legal advice. Using this site, completing an assessment, uploading a document, or generating a letter does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing you submit is protected by attorney-client privilege.
The assessment is a commercial evaluation of how a severance offer compares to common practice, based on the information you provide. It is not a determination of your legal rights, an opinion on whether any law was violated, or a substitute for advice from an employment attorney licensed in your state. If your situation involves potential discrimination, retaliation, unpaid wages, restrictive covenants, or a significant sum, you should consult a lawyer.
2. The assessment is AI-generated
The recommendation, the explanation, and any generated letter are produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence, grounded in calculations and a defined factor set. AI systems can be wrong. Outputs may contain errors, may not account for facts you did not provide, and may not reflect law or practice specific to your state or industry.
You are responsible for reviewing anything generated here before relying on it or sending it to anyone. A generated letter is a draft for you to edit and send in your own name.
3. No guarantee of outcome
Nothing on this site is a prediction or promise about what your employer will do. We do not guarantee that negotiating will produce a better offer, that an offer will not be withdrawn, or that any particular result will follow from using the service. Any ranges, benchmarks, or suggested requests are estimates and are described as such.
4. Accuracy of what you provide
The assessment is only as good as its inputs. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter, and for confirming any information extracted from a document you upload. Extracted values are always presented for your confirmation and are never treated as authoritative without it.
5. Your account
You must be at least 18 to use the service. If you create an account, you are responsible for the security of the email address used to access it. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the service to provide legal advice to others, or hold yourself out as doing so on the basis of it.
- Upload documents you do not have the right to submit, or that contain another person’s confidential information without authority.
- Submit false information in order to distort benchmarking data.
- Scrape, copy, or systematically extract the content or data of the service.
- Attempt to interfere with, probe, or gain unauthorised access to the service.
- Resell or commercially redistribute the assessment or generated content.
7. Your content and ours
You keep ownership of the information and documents you submit. You grant us the licence needed to operate the service, which includes storing and processing your submissions to produce your assessment, and creating de-identified aggregate data as described in the privacy policy.
The site’s content, design, tools, and underlying methodology are ours. Assessments and letters generated for you are yours to use for your own purposes.
8. Free service and changes
The assessment and letter generation are currently provided free of charge. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service, and may introduce paid features in future, in which case pricing will be disclosed before any charge.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost income, lost severance, lost profits, or lost opportunity, arising from your use of the service or from any decision you make in reliance on it.
To complete before launch. Liability cap, indemnity, governing law and venue, dispute resolution, notice address, and the operating entity, all subject to counsel review.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the date above, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
