Actually Good Legal: Single-User License

Version 1.1 · Effective November 9, 2026

Licensor: Actually Good Ideas, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("we," "us")

In plain words

One license, one person. The license belongs to the person who paid for it. A copy you didn't pay for is not licensed.
Change anything. Edit, rename, rebrand, combine, extend or rewrite any part of it, for any purpose in your own work. Your changes are yours to keep.
Don't share it. Not with colleagues, not with your firm, not with anyone else, and not publicly. Each person who uses it needs their own license. Modified versions count too.
Colleagues with their own licenses. If a colleague has bought their own license, you may share your modified version with them.
Your work product is yours. Contracts, letters, briefs and other documents you make with it can go to clients, courts, co-counsel and opposing parties as usual.

The rest of this document is the binding text. If it conflicts with the plain-words summary, the binding text controls.

1. Definitions

"Materials" means Actually Good Legal and everything delivered with it or for it: the course, course hub, workbook, videos, plugin, skills, agents, hooks, tools, scripts, workflows, prompts, templates, playbooks, sample and test files, answer keys, QA materials, and every update. It also includes any copy, modification, translation or derivative of any of them, in whole or in part.
"Licensee" means the single individual who paid for the Materials through our checkout. If an employer or other organization paid for one license, the Licensee is the one individual named at checkout.
"Licensed User" means any individual who holds their own paid license to the Materials.
"Work Product" means documents and other output the Licensee creates by using the Materials, such as contracts, redlines, letters, memos, briefs, summaries and spreadsheets. Work Product is not part of the Materials.

2. License grant

We grant the Licensee a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, conditioned on full payment and perpetual subject to Section 7, to: (a) use the Materials in the Licensee's own legal practice or work, including to serve clients; (b) copy and install the Materials on devices and accounts that the Licensee uses. This includes a firm-owned computer, a Claude account, or a private folder or repository, as long as only the Licensee can use the Materials there; (c) modify the Materials in any way, for any purpose in the Licensee's own work. That includes editing, renaming, rebranding, translating, combining with the Licensee's own materials, and creating new skills, templates and tools from them; and (d) share the Licensee's modified version with other Licensed Users only, for their use under their own license.

3. What is not allowed

Except as Section 2 allows, you may not, and may not let anyone else: (a) share, distribute, disclose or transfer the Materials, or any modified version, to anyone who is not a Licensed User. That includes colleagues, staff and others at your own firm, other firms, co-counsel, clients, vendors and consultants; (b) make the Materials available to anyone other than you. That includes shared drives, a Claude Team or Enterprise organization's shared or published plugins, or a firm network, unless every person who can access them is a Licensed User; (c) publish or post the Materials or any modified version where others can access them. That includes public or shared code repositories, websites, blogs, social media, plugin or skill marketplaces and directories, public or link-shared AI artifacts, course platforms, and file-sharing links; (d) sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend or give away the Materials, or include them in any product, service, training or course offered to others; (e) use the Materials to provide services to other people or organizations, such as consulting, implementation, training or managed services, so that they get the benefit of the Materials without their own license; (f) use the Materials to build, train or improve an AI model, product or service that is offered to others; or (g) remove or change copyright, license, attribution or "not legal advice" notices in the Materials. You may restyle them in modified versions as long as they remain present and legible.

4. Work Product

As between you and us, you (or your firm, if your arrangement with it says so) own your Work Product. You may give Work Product to clients, courts, agencies, co-counsel, opposing parties and anyone else in the ordinary course of practice. That remains true when the Work Product contains text taken from the Materials' templates, as long as it is shared as part of a document prepared for a matter and not as a template collection or toolkit. You may also tell anyone that you use Actually Good Legal.

5. Your modifications

You own the changes you make, as between you and us. The underlying Materials remain ours and stay subject to this license, so your modified version may be shared only as Section 2(d) allows. You don't have to share your changes with us. If you send us suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

6. Third-party material

Some items are licensed by others under their own terms, and those terms govern those items. - Common Paper templates and standard terms (harness-starter/templates/common-paper/) are © Common Paper, Inc., under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), with our changes noted. You may use and share those items as CC BY 4.0 allows, with attribution. - Anthropic's Claude for Legal plugins are not included. You install them from Anthropic under their own license. - All parties, cases and documents in the sample and test files are fictional, except two well-known U.S. Supreme Court citations used for practice.

7. Termination

This license ends automatically if you breach Section 3 or fail to pay, including after a chargeback or refund. Once it ends, you must stop using the Materials and delete all copies, including modified versions. You may keep Work Product created before the termination. We may also seek any other remedy available, including an injunction, because unauthorized sharing causes harm that money alone may not repair.

7A. What survives

Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 survive the end of this license.

8. Changing jobs

The license is personal to the Licensee. If you change firms, it goes with you, and your former firm may not keep using your copy. You may not otherwise assign or transfer this license without our written consent.

9. Compliance

If we reasonably believe the Materials have been shared with someone who is not a Licensed User, we may ask you to confirm in writing that you comply with this license. You agree to respond within 30 days and to help us stop any unauthorized copies you are responsible for.

10. Terms of Service, disclaimer and limits

This license is part of the Actually Good Legal Terms of Service (legal/TERMS-OF-SERVICE.md). The Terms, the Disclaimer (legal/DISCLAIMER.md) and the Privacy Policy (legal/PRIVACY-POLICY.md) also apply, including their provisions on no legal advice, no warranty, limitation of liability, indemnification, and Ohio law and venue. If this license and the Terms conflict on what you may use, modify or share, this license controls.

11. Licenses for colleagues and firms

Colleagues can buy their own licenses. For firm-wide or multi-user licensing, or to give the Materials to clients, use them in a consulting or training business, or share them publicly, contact us through actuallygoodideas.com about a separate written license.
