Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Chamber platform at chamber.law and any related services (together, the “Service”). Chamber (“Chamber,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

The Service is provided to licensed attorneys and law firms in the United States, in good standing with their applicable bar, and is invitation-only. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that (a) you are an attorney duly licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, or you are acting on behalf of a law firm whose attorneys meet that standard; (b) you have authority to bind your firm to these Terms; and (c) your use of the Service does not violate any obligation to which you or your firm is subject, including applicable rules of professional conduct.

Accounts are issued by us to a named individual. You may not share your account credentials, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at the contact below if you suspect unauthorized access.

2. What Chamber Is and Isn’t

The Service is a private workspace and coordination platform for plaintiff-side litigation, where (i) case originators (“Originators”) may share case information, materials, and proposed engagement terms with vetted firms (“Lead Counsel”); (ii) Lead Counsel may evaluate, decline, or take on the matter as lead counsel with the Originator joining as co-counsel; and (iii) related coordination — including scheduled reviews, exclusivity windows, and platform-mediated payments — is facilitated.

Chamber is not a law firm and does not provide legal services to users of the Service. Chamber does not represent any party in any matter, does not refer clients to attorneys, and does not direct or supervise the legal work of any user. You are responsible for your own compliance with the rules of professional conduct, including those concerning attorney advertising, referral fees, fee division, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and the unauthorized practice of law. Nothing on the Service constitutes legal advice from Chamber.

3. Case Materials and Confidentiality

The Service may include sensitive materials, including pleadings, expert reports, investigative findings, evidence summaries, and other case-related information (collectively, “Case Materials”). Access to full Case Materials is gated by per-case access controls, an electronic non-disclosure acknowledgment, and time-limited review windows.

You agree to:

• Use Case Materials solely for the purpose of evaluating, taking on, or co-counseling a matter through the Service;
• Treat Case Materials as confidential and not disclose them to any person outside your firm without the originating party’s prior written consent, except as required by law or applicable court order;
• Maintain reasonable safeguards consistent with your professional and ethical obligations;
• Comply with any case-specific non-disclosure agreement, hold, or exclusivity window indicated within the Service.

These confidentiality obligations survive termination of your account.

4. Originator–Co-Counsel Engagements

Engagements between Originators and Lead Counsel facilitated through the Service are between those parties. Chamber is not a party to any engagement, retention, fee-sharing arrangement, or co-counsel agreement and assumes no responsibility for the conduct, performance, or recovery in any matter. Where the Service surfaces proposed engagement terms (for example, fee splits, exclusivity terms, or origination fees), those terms are between the participating firms and must comply with the rules of professional conduct in the relevant jurisdictions, including informed client consent where required.

5. Payments

The Service may charge platform fees — for example, fees associated with extended review windows or signing a case as lead counsel. Fees are presented in the Service before any charge is initiated. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., subject to its terms. All charges are billed to the firm whose Lead Counsel initiates the payment.

Unless expressly stated otherwise within the Service, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding action (such as opening an extended review or executing a co-counsel engagement) has been performed. Where a payment is associated with funds owed to a specific Originator or other party, Chamber acts as a collection agent for that party; receipt of funds by Chamber does not, by itself, create any attorney-client or other fiduciary relationship between Chamber and you, and Chamber’s payment processing does not constitute legal services.

6. Acceptable Use

You will not (and will not permit any other person to):

• Misrepresent your identity, your firm’s identity, or your bar status;
• Use the Service for any matter you are not authorized to handle in the relevant jurisdiction;
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, copy at scale, or otherwise extract Case Materials except as necessary for the permitted use;
• Introduce malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or interfere with the Service’s operation or security;
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or rule of professional conduct.

We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or for behavior that we determine, in good faith, presents a risk to other users or the integrity of the Service.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights in materials you submit to the Service. You grant Chamber a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, display, and otherwise process the materials you submit, solely as necessary to operate and improve the Service.

The Service, including the underlying software, design, templates, and aggregated/de-identified usage data, is the property of Chamber or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership in the Service to you.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to our privacy practices as described there.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. CHAMBER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CHAMBER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

CHAMBER DOES NOT WARRANT OR ENDORSE THE PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT, LEGAL STRATEGY, OR OUTCOMES OF ANY USER. CHAMBER IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CHAMBER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF CHAMBER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

CHAMBER’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOUR FIRM TO CHAMBER FOR USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chamber and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your or your firm’s use of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your handling of a matter referenced on or taken through the Service, including any claim of professional malpractice, ethics violation, or breach of fiduciary duty; or (d) your violation of applicable law.

12. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, for breach of these Terms or as we determine necessary to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases, but the obligations that by their nature survive (including confidentiality, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will continue.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date above will indicate when the latest version took effect. Material changes will be communicated to active users by email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Chamber regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
