PAXTON AI, INC. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
Last Updated: October 15, 2026
Please read this Acceptable Use Policy ("policy" or "AUP") carefully before using any Paxton AI, Inc. ("Paxton," "we," or "us") website, including paxton.ai, or any service operated by Paxton. This AUP applies to use of the Services, including free trials, paid subscriptions, and nonpublic product demonstrations, and to Paxton websites that link to this AUP.
We may update this policy from time to time. Notice and the effective date of changes are governed by the change provisions in the applicable Terms of Service or other written agreement governing Customer's use of the Services (the "Agreement") and applicable law. The version date appears above.
Capitalized terms not defined in this AUP have the meanings given in the Agreement. Customer ("Customer," "you," or "your") is responsible for compliance by its Authorized Users as provided in the Agreement. This AUP supplements the Agreement. If there is a conflict, the Agreement controls, including its provisions governing the priority of the DPA and any BAA. This AUP does not expand Paxton's rights to use or disclose Customer Data or Output.

- Abusing trial eligibility, promotional benefits, or account access.

- Scraping, crawling, bulk-extracting, or using automated means to access the Services or collect their content other than through supported functionality or as expressly authorized by Paxton. This does not authorize use of the Services for the web-scraping or crawling businesses or applications prohibited by paragraph 16(d).
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Professional review. Content provided to clients, customers, courts, or other third parties must be independently reviewed, verified, and approved by a qualified professional as appropriate to the intended use and applicable law before dissemination or filing. Customer remains responsible for accuracy, appropriateness, and use. Attorneys retain independent judgment, must verify and correct Output (including citations), and must make disclosures of generative-AI use when required by applicable law, court rules, or court orders. Where the responsible attorney must personally verify citations, automated citation checks or third-party review do not replace that responsibility. Arbitrators must not delegate decision-making where prohibited by law and must make required disclosures. Output is draft assistance and may contain errors; Paxton does not provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.
Legal work involving restricted subjects. Lawful legal research, drafting, analysis, or review of existing evidence is not prohibited solely because it concerns a subject, industry, or alleged conduct listed above. This clarification does not permit operating a prohibited business through the Services, carrying out a prohibited decision-making use, actually facilitating prohibited conduct, generating content for sexual gratification, or unlawfully possessing or distributing material. It does not limit the model-training, competitive-intelligence, trial-abuse, or access restrictions.
Genuine evaluations, reviews, and professional adoption of drafts. Paragraph 17 does not prohibit genuine evaluation of Paxton for Customer’s own permitted use, ordinary purchasing comparisons, or honest reviews. The prohibition on deceptive or misleading use does not prevent a legal professional from reviewing, revising, and adopting AI-assisted work as that professional’s own work, subject to applicable disclosure duties. This does not authorize misrepresentation, unlawful conduct, disclosure of confidential information, or use otherwise prohibited by the Agreement. Nothing in this AUP restricts rights or disclosures that applicable law does not permit the Parties to restrict.
Separate evaluations; trial exceptions. Paragraph 18 does not prohibit separate, bona fide evaluations by different individuals at the same firm where consistent with the applicable offer. Paxton may authorize additional trials or extensions but is not obligated to offer, renew, or extend a trial. Trial conversion, charges, and cancellation remain governed by the Agreement and applicable offer.
Customer Data and regulated information. Customer must have the rights and permissions required to submit and use Customer Data. Personal information in Customer Data, Output, or related content-bearing derivatives processed by Paxton on Customer’s behalf is protected under the DPA to the extent it constitutes Customer Personal Data. Submission of PHI on behalf of a HIPAA covered entity or business associate requires a separately executed BAA as provided in the Agreement. This AUP does not create additional approved data uses or replace a required agreement.
Connected services. Customers must have authority to connect third-party accounts and to authorize access to and processing of information available through those accounts, including a Google Drive connection with broad read permission and continuing synchronization. Customers must comply with the third party’s terms and may not bypass its permissions or use data derived from the integration for prohibited purposes. Paxton’s handling of Google API Data is governed by the Terms and the Privacy Policy, including applicable Google requirements.
ENFORCEMENT
Subject to the Agreement and applicable law, Paxton may determine whether a violation has occurred in its sole discretion and may suspend, restrict, or terminate access, deny or revoke trial or promotional eligibility, and restrict new registrations intended to evade enforcement. Paxton may act without advance notice or an opportunity to cure where permitted by the Agreement and applicable law. Violations may also result in other available remedies or referral to law enforcement where appropriate.
Paxton may use available account, subscription, usage, and security information and may request information reasonably needed to assess eligibility or suspected misuse. Paxton may retain limited information to investigate violations, preserve relevant evidence, and identify or restrict attempts to return through other accounts, consistent with the Privacy Policy, the Agreement, any applicable DPA or BAA, and law.
This AUP does not require Paxton to screen every applicant, monitor all activity, detect every violation, or provide a particular investigation or response time. An exception or failure to enforce a restriction does not waive it, subject to the Agreement and applicable law.
Suspension, termination, cancellation, fees, refunds, and any required data access or return remain governed by the Agreement. This AUP does not independently authorize additional charges or penalties. Violations do not automatically require deletion of Customer Data or Output. Retention, deletion, and preservation remain subject to the Agreement, Privacy Policy, DPA, any applicable BAA, and law.
