Terms of Service
Effective date: October 30, 2026
These terms govern use of the sjq.legal website, the free questionnaire editor, and, during early access, the SJQ Processor processing service provided by Timbre Solutions, Inc. ("Timbre Solutions," "we," "us"). Early-access engagements are additionally governed by a written engagement agreement, which controls if it conflicts with these terms.
1. The service
SJQ Processor has two parts. The questionnaire editor, which is free, builds court-ready supplemental juror questionnaires on your computer. The processing service reads scanned completed questionnaires, checks the answers for gaps and inconsistencies, and produces a report for counsel's use in jury selection. Processing is available to licensed attorneys and their staff, and to litigants' authorized trial consultants, in connection with a specific court matter.
2. Not legal advice; counsel remains responsible
SJQ Processor is a litigation-support tool. It does not provide legal advice, and its output is not a substitute for the professional judgment of counsel. Strike decisions, cause challenges, and all other decisions in jury selection remain the sole responsibility of the attorneys of record. Extracted answers should be checked against the scanned pages; the report marks the answers that most need checking.
3. Court rules control
Use of the service must comply with all applicable court orders, local rules, and professional-conduct obligations, including any rules governing juror questionnaire confidentiality, distribution, and destruction. Where a court order is stricter than these terms or our Privacy Policy, the court order controls, and you are responsible for telling us about it.
4. Your responsibilities
- Provide only materials you are authorized to possess and process — juror questionnaires obtained through lawful court process in a matter in which you are counsel of record or an authorized consultant.
- Keep your case passphrase safe. It is the only way to open a case and its report. We never receive it and cannot reset it; if it is lost, the case cannot be recovered.
- Decide whether to allow AI re-read, and for which questions. It is off unless you turn it on, and names and signatures are never sent.
- Maintain the confidentiality of juror data on your side: completed questionnaires and the reports you download.
- Do not use the service, or attempt to use it, to make juror decisions based on protected-class characteristics. The software will not assist in doing so; attempting to circumvent that restriction is a violation of these terms and grounds for immediate termination.
- Do not resell, sublicense, or provide the service to third parties.
5. Juror data
Juror data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy: encrypted with a key only you hold, processed only for your case, never warehoused, and destroyed 7 days after the case is created or 24 hours after you first download its report, whichever comes first, with a signed Certificate of Destruction. You retain all rights in your case materials; we claim no ownership of anything you submit.
6. The questionnaire editor and saved drafts
The editor is free to use. Questionnaires you build are your work product, and we claim no rights in them. Drafts saved with an early-access code are encrypted with your passphrase and deleted 30 days after your last save; keep your own copy of anything you need longer.
7. Early access
Processing is in early access. Access requires a code we issue, features may change, and turnaround expectations are set per engagement. While the processing page says it is in test mode, do not upload real juror questionnaires. We will be candid about what is production-ready and what is not.
8. Intellectual property
The SJQ Processor software, questionnaire-generation system, and this website are the property of Timbre Solutions and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Questionnaires generated for your case may be filed and used in your matter without restriction.
9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. Handwriting recognition is probabilistic; no reading technology is perfect, which is why answers should be checked against the scanned pages and why the report marks those that most need checking. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Timbre Solutions' total liability arising out of the service is limited to the amounts paid for the engagement giving rise to the claim, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including any claim arising from the outcome of any litigation.
10. Termination
Either party may end an engagement as provided in the engagement agreement. On termination, juror data is destroyed as described in the Privacy Policy.
11. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date above will change when we do. Material changes during an active engagement will be communicated directly.
