Terms of Use

Last updated April 27, 2026.

Welcome to intelligencebyintent.com. These terms govern your use of the site and the resources we make available on it. By using the site you accept these terms.

Informational only, not legal advice

Intelligence by Intent is a legal AI advisory firm. Everything on this site, including the Legal AI Playbook, articles, and workshop materials, is provided for general information and educational purposes. It is not legal advice. It does not create an attorney-client relationship between you, your firm, and Intelligence by Intent or Steve Smith. Always confirm regulatory, ethical, and client-confidentiality requirements with your own counsel before applying anything you read here.

What you can do with our content

You are welcome to read, share, and forward our articles and public resources. The Legal AI Playbook and any downloadable materials are licensed for your firm's internal review and use. You may not republish, resell, or distribute our content outside your organization without our written permission.

The site, its design, and all original content are the intellectual property of Intelligence by Intent. The IBI mark and the "Intelligence by Intent" name are ours.

Form submissions and communications

When you submit a form on the site, you are giving us permission to contact you about your request. Please do not include privileged or confidential client information in form fields. If you need to share something sensitive, schedule a call first and we will agree on a secure channel.

Third-party links and services

We link to external sites and services we find useful, including Substack, YouTube, Beverly Hills Bar Association, AAML, and other organizations. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those third parties. Linking does not imply endorsement of any specific tool, vendor, or position.

No warranties

The site and its content are provided "as is." We do our best to keep information accurate and current, but legal AI moves quickly and your particular situation may differ from any example or framework on the site. We disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Intelligence by Intent and Steve Smith will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or its content. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied with the site is to stop using it.

Engagements

These terms govern site use only. Any consulting, workshop, speaking, or case-support engagement with Intelligence by Intent is governed by the separate engagement agreement signed between us and your firm.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

Changes

We may update these terms over time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
