Doc. L-001 · LegalDRAFT — NOT YET REVIEWED BY A U.S. ATTORNEY
Terms of Service
WHAT CHANGED IN THIS VERSION
- v1.1 (October 7, 2026, before launch): the residential lease is no longer offered in the United States; § 1.4 and the note to § 2.2 changed accordingly.
- First published version for the United States (v1.0). From here on, every material change appears in this box — and a change to a subscription you already have reaches you by email first (§ 6.1).
EVERY CLAUSE HAS A PLAIN-ENGLISH NOTE — HOVER OR FOCUS TO READ IT →
1 The service
1.1Clausebook provides legal document templates, guided setups and plain-English explanations (“the Service”). The Service is operated by Clausebook ApS (Danish company number (CVR): to be confirmed before launch), street address to be confirmed before launch, Copenhagen, Denmark, a Danish private limited company (an ApS). You can reach us at help@clausebook.dk.
What this meansWho you are dealing with: a company in Copenhagen. The CVR is its number in the Danish register of companies, which anyone can look up.
1.2This is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Clausebook is not a law firm: the Service provides documents and information, not legal advice, and buying or using a document does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What this meansUnder Texas law, selling forms and software is not the practice of law when they say this clearly (Government Code § 81.101(c)). We would say it anyway.
1.3For unusual, high-value or disputed situations we recommend talking to an attorney — and our documents say so where we think you should.
What this meansWe would rather lose a sale than see you use the wrong tool.
1.4Our documents are written from Texas law: the power of attorney for use in Texas, the bill of sale for a car sold in Texas, and the NDA governed by Texas law. They are not written for any other state. If you live in another state, or your car or your company is elsewhere, they may not be the right documents.
What this meansFifty states, fifty sets of rules. We write for one of them, and we say which.
1.5Each document is a print-ready page that you open in any current browser to print it or save it as PDF; your order page shows it too. We do not offer electronic signing, notarization, recording, filing with any office, or a search of any title, lien or vehicle record. Signing, having a signature acknowledged before a notary, and any filing stay your steps — each document tells you what they are.
What this meansWhat you get — and what you don’t. We would rather say it here than let a word on a page suggest more.
2 Your license
2.1When you buy a document, you receive a perpetual, personal license to use, edit and complete it for your own matters, personal or business.
What this means“Perpetual” means it never runs out: the pass and the subscription pay for access and edits; what you have downloaded stays yours.
2.2You may reuse a template you have bought for your own future matters without paying again. You may not resell, redistribute or publish our template text. The words of a statute that a form reproduces belong to everyone; our notes, guides and drafting do not.
What this meansBuy the bill of sale, use it for every car you ever sell. Just don’t open a template shop with our text. (No one can own the law, says the U.S. Copyright Office — so we don’t claim the statutory form.)
2.3Documents you complete with your own information are yours entirely. We claim no rights in your finished documents.
What this meansYour contract is your contract. Obviously — but worth writing down.
3 Payment, the pass and the subscription
3.1Prices are in U.S. dollars, and the price you see is the whole price: no fee is added, and no sales tax is added. A pass costs $1 and gives 48 hours of access to every document, with unlimited edits. Unless you cancel before the 48 hours are up, the access continues automatically as a subscription at $22 every 4 weeks (about $23.90 a month), charged in advance to the card you paid with, until you cancel. There is no minimum term: you can cancel online at any time, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.
What this meansThe whole deal, stated at the payment step before you pay and in full right under the button — what California’s automatic renewal law and the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act ask for, and what we would say anyway.
3.2You are responsible for giving a working email address — your documents, your receipt and the record of your consent are delivered there.
What this meansA typo in the email field is the most common reason a document goes astray. Check it twice.
3.3How the order works: you answer the questions while the document is drafted beside them, and you can go back and correct any answer before you pay. At the payment step the terms of the pass and the subscription stand directly under the button “Pay $1 and start the pass”, and they say that pressing it agrees to them: pressing it is your consent, and nothing is charged without it. We keep the record of your consent — the words you agreed to and the time — with your order for at least three years, or until one year after the subscription ends if that is later, and your confirmation email repeats it with these terms and how to cancel. You can print or save these terms from this page.
What this meansExpress consent, a record of it, and a copy you can keep: what California’s automatic renewal law asks of every subscription sold to a Californian (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17602(a)(2)–(6)).
3.4To cancel the subscription, use the cancellation page — “Cancel your subscription” at the foot of every page, or clausebook.co/cancel — with the order number and the email on your receipt, and press “Cancel now”: no account, no call and no reason needed. You can also reply to your confirmation email and say you want to cancel. We confirm by email right away. Your pass runs to its end, and nothing is charged after it.
What this meansOne page, one button. California wants a subscription bought online to end online, at will (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17602(d)); we think every buyer should have that.
3.5Two parts of the subscription are not in place yet: the automatic payment after 48 hours, and the pass on other devices. Until they are, no subscription payment is taken, and your pass works in the browser you bought it in. We will email you at least 7 days before the first subscription payment is ever taken, with how to cancel, and you can cancel before then without paying anything more.
What this meansWe would rather tell you what is not built yet than let you find out.
4 Updates and availability
4.1We review the templates whenever the relevant law changes, and update them accordingly.
What this meansThat is the core of what you pay for beyond the text itself.
4.2Updated versions of documents you have bought are available to you at no extra cost.
What this meansThe law changed? Download the new version, free.
4.3We tell you by email when a change in the law materially affects a document you have bought.
What this meansYou shouldn’t have to follow the Texas Legislature to keep your paperwork current.
5 Liability and your rights
5.1We provide the Service with reasonable skill and care. To the extent the law allows, our liability for a document is limited to the amount you paid for it.
What this meansStandard for template products — and the reason § 1.2 and § 1.3 matter.
5.2Nothing in these terms waives or limits a right that the law does not let you give up — including your rights under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (Business & Commerce Code § 17.41 and following) and under the consumer protection laws of the state where you live.
What this meansThe safety valve: your statutory consumer rights always win over this document. Texas accepts a waiver of them only on strict conditions — among them a signed waiver in bold print, made with an attorney of your own choosing (§ 17.42) — and we will never ask you for one.
6 Changes, law and complaints
6.1We may change these terms for future orders. A change to a subscription you already have — including its price — applies only after we have emailed you about it, with how to cancel: no less than 7 and no more than 30 days before it takes effect. You can cancel before then, and nothing more is charged.
What this meansThe summary is the blue box at the top of this page. No silent edits, and never without a way out (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17602(g)).
6.2These terms are governed by the law of Texas and by federal law. Nothing in them takes away the protection that the consumer laws of the state where you live give you, and you may bring a claim against us in the courts where you live. These terms contain no arbitration clause, no class-action waiver and no jury waiver.
What this meansTexas documents under Texas law — but your home state’s protections and your own courts stay yours.
6.3If something goes wrong, write to help@clausebook.dk first — a human answers within one business day. We do not belong to any dispute resolution program. The rules on online subscriptions in the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and by state attorneys general (15 U.S.C. §§ 8404–8405).
What this meansWhere to turn if we don’t sort it out ourselves. We hope it never comes to that.
