LEGAL

Terms of Use

Effective August 20, 2026

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Daniel Croxall, operator of Federal Rules Explorer. By accessing or using the service, you agree to these terms.

Research aid; not legal advice

Federal Rules Explorer provides educational and legal-research information. It does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or replace review of official rules, statutes, court opinions, local rules, standing orders, or advice from qualified counsel. You are responsible for verifying authorities, deadlines, and procedural requirements.

Accounts and permitted use

You must provide accurate account information and protect access to your account. A subscription is for the individual subscriber and may not be shared, resold, scraped, systematically downloaded, reverse engineered, or used to create a competing database or service. You may use reasonable excerpts for personal research, teaching, scholarship, and legal practice, subject to applicable law and proper attribution.

Subscriptions and renewal

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval disclosed at checkout until canceled. You authorize the payment processor to charge the payment method on file for each renewal. You may cancel online through Manage billing. Cancellation stops the next renewal, and access continues through the end of the paid term.

Refunds and failed payments

Payments are final and nonrefundable except where required by applicable law or for a confirmed duplicate or erroneous charge. If a renewal payment fails, access may continue during the seven-day payment-retry period and may be paused afterward. The Cancellation & Refund Policy is incorporated into these terms.

Ownership

Official federal rules, statutes, and judicial opinions remain subject to their applicable public-law status. The site’s original selection, organization, annotations, summaries, design, and software are owned by or licensed to Daniel Croxall and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Availability and changes

The service may be updated, corrected, suspended, or discontinued. Features and research content may change as authorities develop. Material subscription changes will be disclosed as required by law.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Daniel Croxall will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of profits or data, missed deadlines, or reliance on research content. Aggregate liability arising from the service will not exceed the amount you paid for the service during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.

Suspension and termination

Access may be suspended or terminated for nonpayment, unlawful use, account sharing, security threats, or material violation of these terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective.

California law

California law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these terms limits nonwaivable consumer rights under applicable law.

Changes to these terms

Revised terms will be posted with a new effective date. When required, material changes will be communicated before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
