Witness Terms
The agreement
These terms are an agreement between Truss Legal Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Truss”), and you, the person using a Truss session link. You accept them by checking the box on the session page and starting the session. If you do not agree, do not start the session. You must be 18 or older and located in the United States to use the service.
The attorney or organization that sent you the link (the “arranging organization”) is Truss’s customer under a separate agreement. These terms do not change your relationship with your attorney.
What the session is
The session is a practice exercise. An AI examiner asks questions based on materials the arranging organization provided. It is not a deposition. Truss does not place you under oath, but the recording and transcript may be subject to legal process, such as a subpoena or a discovery request. Ask your attorney about their legal treatment.
Truss is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Truss is not your lawyer, and using the service creates no attorney-client relationship between you and Truss. Questions about your case, your testimony, or how you did belong with your attorney.
Recording and consent
You consent to the session being recorded, including audio and video, transcribed, and analyzed by software, including AI models. You consent to the recording, transcript, and report being shared with the arranging organization, and to their processing by Truss and its service providers to run the service.
You are responsible for not recording anyone else without their consent. Run the session somewhere others will not be recorded, or get their consent first.
Camera analysis computes measurements from the geometry of your face and body, including head position, gaze, blinks, facial expressions, and posture. It is separate and optional. It runs only if you check its own box on the session page. Each time you start or rejoin the session, your answer applies from then on: leaving the box unchecked stops the analysis, and measurements already taken stay in the report until they are deleted. Truss permanently destroys the camera measurements, and the observations made from them, including any backup copies, no later than 90 days after the session, or sooner if the session is deleted. Truss does not use them to identify you.
Your information
The recording, transcript, report, and camera observations belong to the arranging organization’s records. That organization decides who sees them and, within the service’s settings, how long they are kept. Truss handles them under its agreement with that organization. For questions or requests about your information, write to Truss at privacy@trusslegal.com or ask your attorney. Truss may need to consult the arranging organization before acting on a request.
Truss takes reasonable measures to protect your information, but no system is perfectly secure, and Truss does not guarantee that information will not be accessed, lost, or disclosed without authorization. Truss may disclose information when it believes in good faith that the law requires it.
Truss keeps a record that you accepted these terms: when, which version and language, and your answer about camera analysis. The record stays after the session is deleted.
AI output
The examiner’s questions, the transcript, and the report are generated by software, including AI models. They can be wrong, incomplete, or inconsistent, and a transcript can mishear what was said. The session is not a prediction of how a deposition will go.
Using the service
Use only the link sent to you, and do not share it. Do not use the service unlawfully, to harass anyone, or to probe or disrupt its security.
Disclaimer
The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, Truss disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. Truss does not warrant that the session will run, be recorded, or be kept, or that it will improve your testimony or the outcome of any matter.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Truss is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for the outcome of any legal matter, even if told they were possible. Truss’s total liability to you arising out of or relating to these terms or the service is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars.
Governing law and courts
Delaware law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the law of your state requires otherwise. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the service is resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, except where the law of your state lets you bring the claim where you live.
General
Truss may change these terms. The version you accepted applies to the session you accepted it for; a later session may ask you to accept a newer version. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
