IMPORTANT SUMMARY
These Terms govern your use of Amicus. Amicus is a professional networking platform for law students and legal professionals. We do not verify professional credentials (except limited student email verification), do not provide legal advice, do not guarantee matches, responses, employment, or outcomes, and are not responsible for user conduct on or off the platform.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Amicus.
By using Amicus, you agree to these Terms and related policies.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Amicus, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Amicus," "we," "us," or "our").
These Terms govern your access to and use of:
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and any additional terms disclosed at the time of purchase.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
We may update these Terms and will notify you.
We may modify or update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will provide notice by one or more of the following methods:

You may not misrepresent your status, credentials, affiliations, or experience.

Matches are not guaranteed.
Amicus may use automated systems to suggest connections or rank profiles. We do not guarantee:
Amicus uses automated tools, including AI, to suggest connections.
Amicus uses automated systems, including artificial intelligence and machine-learning tools provided by third parties such as OpenAI, to analyze profile information and activity signals in order to suggest potential matches, connections, and recommendations on the Service.
These automated systems:
