The Service (What TightCase Does)

🔒
Before your report is reviewed, TightCase scrubs all criminal justice information -- names, dates of birth, SSNs, license plates, database query results, and criminal history -- in your browser. Only the scrubbed version is sent for analysis. No CJI or PII is ever transmitted, and no reports are stored.

TightCase provides automated review of text you submit through the Service to help identify issues such as missing elements, potential contradictions, clarity/grammar concerns, timeline inconsistencies, completeness prompts (who/what/when/where/how), and evidence documentation checks. Spelling and grammar checks run entirely in your browser. The scrubbed report is sent for peer-level review of completeness, consistency, and legal sufficiency.

TightCase does not generate sentences or paragraphs for you to insert into your report. The Service is designed to highlight areas of improvement and provide suggestions, prompts, and issue-spotting guidance -- not to draft your report.

CJIS scrubbing is performed on a best-effort basis using automated pattern matching. No automated system is perfect. TightCase does not guarantee that all criminal justice information will be identified and removed in every case. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with your agency's CJIS policies.

3

No Legal Advice; User Responsibility

The Service is provided for informational and assistance purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. TightCase is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

You are solely responsible for:

  • The content you write and submit
  • Verifying accuracy and completeness
  • Ensuring compliance with your agency policies, applicable laws, and any professional obligations
  • Reviewing the Service's outputs before relying on them
4

Account Registration and Security

To use certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information, including email, name, rank/title, department/agency, and state.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Accounts are single-user only and may not be shared.

5

Prohibited Content and Restrictions

You agree that you will not:

  • Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or abusive purposes
  • Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or bypass security measures
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover source code or underlying models (except to the extent prohibited by law)
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by introducing malware, automated scraping, or excessive requests
  • Use another person's account or access the Service without authorization

We may monitor for abuse and enforce these restrictions to protect the Service and users.

We may offer a free trial period. A payment method may or may not be required until the free trial ends. After the free trial ends, you must subscribe to continue using paid features.

Data Handling Summary

🔒
No criminal justice information ever leaves your device. Before review, TightCase scrubs all CJI and PII -- names, DOBs, SSNs, plates, NCIC/TCIC hits, criminal history, and warrant results -- in your browser. Only the scrubbed version is sent for analysis. No reports are stored.
  • TightCase stores limited account information such as account details, subscription status, and timestamps.
  • We maintain operational logs for security and reliability purposes. These logs do not contain your report text or analysis results.

For more detail, please review our Privacy Policy.

8

Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and other content (excluding content you submit), is owned by TightCase or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You retain ownership of the text you submit. Before review, all criminal justice information is scrubbed in your browser. Only the scrubbed version is transmitted for analysis, and it is not stored.

9

Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service without compensation to you.

10

Service Availability; Changes

We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including changing features, pricing, or credit costs. If changes materially affect your subscription, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice.

10A) Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with or rely on third-party services (including Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, and Anthropic). TightCase does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their acts or omissions. Your use of third-party services may be subject to those providers' separate terms and policies.

11

Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if:

  • You violate these Terms
  • We reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
  • Your payment fails or is reversed/charged back
  • We must do so to comply with law or protect the Service, users, or third parties

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion by emailing support@tightcase.com.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIGHTCASE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE.

13

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIGHTCASE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIGHTCASE'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO TIGHTCASE FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TightCase and its owners, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your submitted content
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party rights
15

Arbitration Agreement; Waiver of Class Actions

Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights. You and TightCase agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

No class actions

You and TightCase agree that disputes will be brought only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class proceeding.

Arbitration rules and venue

The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable rules. Unless you and TightCase agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in Dallas County, Texas, or may be conducted remotely where permitted.

Arbitration provider and rules

Unless we both agree otherwise, arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules in effect at the time the arbitration is filed.

Fees and costs

The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award on an individual basis. Payment of arbitration fees and costs will be governed by the AAA rules and applicable law. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards otherwise under applicable law.

Opt-out right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to support@tightcase.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your email must include: (i) your name, (ii) the email address associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, the “No class actions” provision still applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Governing law for arbitration

This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

If a court determines that any part of this arbitration section is unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect.

16

Governing Law and Venue (Non-Arbitration Matters)

To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any such dispute will be brought in state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

17

Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, labor disputes, internet or hosting failures, governmental actions, or widespread service outages.

18

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice by posting the updated Terms on the Site and updating the Effective Date. Your continued use of the Service after the changes become effective constitutes your acceptance.

19

Entire Agreement

These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies posted on the Site) constitute the entire agreement between you and TightCase regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

19A) Miscellaneous

Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Headings
Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Survival
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including (without limitation) intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and miscellaneous terms.
