Effective Date: May 22, 2026 Version: 1.0
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding legal agreement between you (“you” or “Customer”) and CourtPulse LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“CourtPulse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your use of the CourtPulse software-as-a-service platform, website at mycourtpulse.com and app.mycourtpulse.com, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating a CourtPulse account, accessing the Service, or clicking “I Agree” (or any similar acceptance mechanism), you represent that you (a) have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms; (b) are a licensed attorney in good standing in at least one United States jurisdiction; (c) have the legal authority to bind yourself (and, if applicable, your firm or employer) to these Terms; and (d) are at least 18 years of age. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.
These Terms incorporate by reference the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy, each as published at mycourtpulse.com.
“Account” means your CourtPulse user account.
“Court Records” means filings, dockets, orders, and other case documents accessible through the Maricopa County Superior Court’s Electronic Court Record system or other court records systems supported by the Service.
“ECR Credentials” means the username, password, and any other authentication credentials issued to you by the Maricopa County Superior Court Clerk’s office (or any other court records system supported by the Service) for accessing Court Records.
“ECR System” means the Maricopa County Superior Court’s Electronic Court Record online system, located at ecronline.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov, or any successor system, and any other court records system supported by the Service.
“Notification” means an email, in-app message, or other communication sent by CourtPulse to you alerting you to activity on a case you have selected to monitor.
3.1 What the Service Does. CourtPulse periodically polls the ECR System, using ECR Credentials you have provided, to detect new filings on cases you have selected to monitor. When a new filing is detected, CourtPulse sends you a Notification.
3.2 What the Service Does Not Do. The Service is a notification convenience. The Service is not a substitute for your independent monitoring of Court Records, and Notifications do not constitute legal advice or a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. You remain solely responsible for compliance with all court deadlines, rules of professional conduct, and obligations to your clients.
3.3 Beta Status. The Service is currently offered as a beta product. The Service may be incomplete, contain errors, be unavailable from time to time, and undergo material changes without notice. The beta status of the Service is a material consideration in the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in these Terms.
3.4 Modifications to the Service. CourtPulse may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice. CourtPulse shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.
4.1 Eligibility. The Service is available only to licensed attorneys in good standing in at least one United States jurisdiction, and only for use in connection with the attorney’s professional practice. The Service is not available to legal support staff, paralegals, victims, victim advocates, or members of the general public.
4.2 Account Registration. You will provide accurate, complete, and current information when registering for an Account, and will update such information promptly upon any change. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for all activities that occur under your Account.
4.3 Account Security. You will notify CourtPulse immediately of any unauthorized access to your Account or any other security breach. CourtPulse is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your Account, except to the extent caused by CourtPulse’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5.1 You Provide ECR Credentials. To use the Service, you will provide CourtPulse with your ECR Credentials. By doing so, you make each of the following representations and warranties to CourtPulse:
You are a registered user of the ECR System;
You have the right to access the ECR System using the ECR Credentials and the right to provide the ECR Credentials to CourtPulse for the purposes of the Service;
Your use of the Service does not violate the terms of use of the ECR System or any rule, order, or instruction of the Maricopa County Superior Court Clerk’s office or any other court (collectively, the “Court Terms”); and
You will at all times remain responsible for compliance with the Court Terms, and you will indemnify CourtPulse against any claim or action by any court, court clerk, or other governmental authority arising from your use of the Service.
5.2 Authorization to Access ECR System on Your Behalf. You hereby expressly authorize CourtPulse, acting as your agent, to use your ECR Credentials to access the ECR System for the sole purpose of detecting new filings on the cases you have selected to monitor and sending you Notifications. This authorization continues until you terminate your Account or revoke this authorization in writing.
5.3 Storage of ECR Credentials. ECR Credentials are stored by CourtPulse encrypted at rest, with the encryption master key stored separately from the credentials database, as more fully described in the Privacy Policy.
5.4 Court Action Against Your Account. If the Maricopa County Superior Court Clerk’s office (or any other court records authority) takes action against your ECR Credentials or your access to the ECR System (including without limitation suspension, revocation, or terms-of-use enforcement) arising from your authorization of CourtPulse to access the ECR System on your behalf, you acknowledge and agree that:
such action is the result of your authorization, not of any breach of these Terms by CourtPulse;
CourtPulse shall have no liability to you for any such action, except to the extent caused by CourtPulse’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
CourtPulse may immediately suspend or terminate the Service, or modify the Service’s access patterns, if CourtPulse reasonably believes that the court records authority has objected to or may object to the Service’s access patterns.
5.5 Limited Scope. CourtPulse will not use your ECR Credentials for any purpose other than as expressly authorized in Section 5.2. CourtPulse will not, and will not permit any third party to, use your ECR Credentials to access cases on which you are not an attorney of record or party.
6.1 Independent Verification. You acknowledge and agree that the Service is a notification convenience and is not a substitute for your independent monitoring of Court Records. You shall not rely solely on Notifications (or the absence of Notifications) for any deadline, filing, or matter on which professional obligations or client interests depend. You will independently verify all Court Records relevant to your professional practice.
6.2 Compliance with Law and Professional Rules. You will use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws, court rules, and rules of professional conduct applicable to attorneys in the jurisdiction(s) in which you practice.
6.3 Confidentiality of Client Information. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service does not constitute an impermissible disclosure of client confidences. The cases you select to monitor and the Court Records accessed through the Service may contain client information; you will configure and use the Service consistent with your obligations to your clients.
6.4 No Misuse. You will not (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose, (b) use the Service to access cases on which you are not an attorney of record or party, (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service or any other accounts, (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service, (e) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except as expressly permitted by law, (f) use the Service to develop or train any competing product or service, or (g) violate the Acceptable Use Policy.
7.1 Beta Period. During the beta period of the Service, the Service is provided to you at no charge. CourtPulse reserves the right to begin charging fees for the Service at any time, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to you.
7.2 Post-Beta Fees. Following the beta period, fees for the Service will be set forth at mycourtpulse.com or in a separate order form or invoice. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars, in advance, in accordance with the payment terms specified at the time of order.
7.3 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all taxes associated with your use of the Service, except taxes based on CourtPulse’s net income. CourtPulse may invoice and collect Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax and applicable city and county taxes on your fees as required by law.
7.4 No Refunds. Except as required by law or expressly stated by CourtPulse in writing, fees paid are non-refundable.
8.1 CourtPulse Property. CourtPulse and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, designs, trademarks, logos, content, and documentation. No rights are granted to you except as expressly set forth in these Terms.
8.2 Limited License. Subject to these Terms, CourtPulse grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service during the term of your subscription for your internal professional use.
8.3 Customer Data. As between you and CourtPulse, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Court Records and case information you provide to or that CourtPulse retrieves on your behalf from the ECR System (collectively, “Customer Data”). You grant CourtPulse a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Customer Data solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service.
8.4 Aggregated and Anonymized Data. CourtPulse may use aggregated and anonymized data derived from Customer Data (in a form that does not identify you or any specific case) for any lawful purpose, including improvement of the Service, analytics, and reporting.
8.5 Feedback. If you provide CourtPulse with feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service, CourtPulse may use and incorporate such feedback without any obligation or compensation to you.
9.1 Privacy Policy. Your use of the Service is governed by the CourtPulse Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and is available at mycourtpulse.com.
9.2 Security Measures. CourtPulse implements commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data, including encryption of ECR Credentials at rest. However, no security measures are perfect, and you acknowledge that no system can be guaranteed to be free of vulnerabilities.
9.3 Breach Notification. In the event of a security incident involving Customer Data, CourtPulse will respond as required by Arizona law (including A.R.S. § 18-552), as further described in the Privacy Policy.
10.1 SERVICE PROVIDED “AS IS.” THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COURTPULSE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
10.2 No Guarantee of Notifications. COURTPULSE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (a) NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE SENT TIMELY OR AT ALL, (b) ALL RELEVANT FILINGS WILL BE DETECTED, (c) NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE FREE OF ERRORS, (d) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR (e) THE ECR SYSTEM WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. Notifications may fail to be sent or may be delayed for many reasons outside CourtPulse’s control, including without limitation ECR System outages, changes to the ECR System interface, email delivery failures, your email provider’s spam filtering, network outages, and changes in court records access policies.
10.3 Reliance on Notifications. YOUR RELIANCE ON NOTIFICATIONS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. As more fully described in Section 6.1, you remain solely responsible for the independent verification of Court Records relevant to your professional practice.
10.4 Third-Party Systems. CourtPulse uses third-party services (including but not limited to Railway, Amazon Web Services, Resend, and 2Captcha) to provide the Service. CourtPulse makes no warranty regarding such third-party services and is not responsible for any failure, error, or unavailability of any third-party service.
11.1 EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COURTPULSE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR FROM ANY FAILED OR DELAYED NOTIFICATION, EVEN IF COURTPULSE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11.2 CAP ON LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COURTPULSE’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO COURTPULSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
11.3 Acknowledgment of Risk Allocation. You acknowledge that the disclaimers in Section 10 and the limitations in this Section 11 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties; that the fees (if any) charged by CourtPulse for the Service reflect this allocation of risk; that the Service would not be provided to you on these terms without these disclaimers and limitations; and that these disclaimers and limitations shall apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
11.4 Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
12.1 By Customer. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CourtPulse, its officers, members, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:
your use of or reliance on the Service or any Notification;
your authorization of CourtPulse to use your ECR Credentials and any action by any court, court clerk, or other governmental authority arising from such authorization;
your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms;
any claim by your clients, opposing parties, or other third parties arising from your professional services, including any claim of legal malpractice based in whole or in part on your use of or reliance on the Service;
your violation of any law, court rule, rule of professional conduct, or the Court Terms; or
your infringement or misappropriation of any third party’s intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights.
12.2 Procedure. CourtPulse will promptly notify you of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 12. CourtPulse may participate in the defense of any such claim at its own expense. You will not settle any such claim without CourtPulse’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement requires any admission of fault by, or imposes any obligation on, CourtPulse.
13.1 Term. These Terms commence when you accept them and continue until terminated as provided herein.
13.2 Termination by Customer. You may terminate your Account and these Terms at any time by following the account-deletion procedures in the Service or by emailing support@mycourtpulse.com.

CourtPulse may terminate or suspend your Account or these Terms at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, including without limitation if (a) you breach these Terms, (b) CourtPulse reasonably believes your use of the Service violates the Court Terms or applicable law, (c) the ECR System or other court records authority objects to the Service’s access patterns, or (d) CourtPulse discontinues the Service.
13.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. CourtPulse will delete your Account, including your ECR Credentials, in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

14.1 Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
14.2 Venue and Personal Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, or in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.
14.3 No Class Actions. You and CourtPulse each agree that any dispute shall be brought solely in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. This provision does not preclude joinder of parties or consolidation of proceedings as may be ordered by a court.
14.4 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding Section 14.2, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or to enforce non-monetary obligations under these Terms.
14.5 Notices. Notices to CourtPulse shall be sent to support@mycourtpulse.com. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on file for your Account. Notices are effective upon receipt (or, in the case of email, upon transmission absent evidence of non-delivery).
14.6 Modifications. CourtPulse may modify these Terms at any time. The amended Terms will be posted at mycourtpulse.com with an updated Effective Date. Material modifications will be communicated to you by email or in-app notice at least thirty (30) days prior to taking effect. Your continued use of the Service after modifications take effect constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modifications, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your Account.
14.7 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without CourtPulse’s prior written consent. CourtPulse may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without notice or consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or change of control.
14.8 Force Majeure. CourtPulse shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental actions, power or network outages, denial-of-service attacks, third-party service failures, or pandemics.
14.9 Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship.
14.10 No Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms constitutes a waiver of that right. No waiver of any provision of these Terms is effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party.
14.11 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to give effect to the parties’ intent to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14.12 Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and any order forms expressly referencing these Terms) constitute the entire agreement between you and CourtPulse with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.
