MCP Connector Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-06-26 · Version 1.0

These MCP Connector Terms of Service (the "MCP Terms") govern your access to and use of the Veritas connector for the Model Context Protocol (the "Connector") operated by Banah Enterprises, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company that operates the Veritas citation-verification platform (referred to as "Veritas," "we," "us," or "our"). By completing the connection and consent flow, ticking the dedicated acceptance control, or using the Connector, you ("you" or "your") agree to these MCP Terms.

These MCP Terms supplement, and are part of, the Veritas Terms of Service at veritaslaw.app/terms (the "General Terms"). Where the Connector is the subject, these MCP Terms control; on every other matter the General Terms control. Defined terms not defined here have the meaning given in the General Terms. Billing for paid scans through the Connector is governed by a separate Billing and Usage Agreement, which you accept separately at the payment step.

Please read these MCP Terms carefully. They limit our liability, disclaim certain warranties in capitalized text, describe how the Connector may and may not be used, and state plainly that Veritas is a verification aid and is not a substitute for the independent professional judgment of a licensed attorney. If you do not agree, do not connect or use the Connector.

1. The Connector and what it is

The Connector exposes the Veritas citation-verification service to a Model Context Protocol client (for example, an AI assistant you use to draft a filing). Through the Connector you may invoke the verify tool, which submits the citations or document you provide to the existing Veritas verification pipeline, returns hedged per-citation findings and a roll-up, and produces a Verification Certificate.

The Connector is a tool that assists a licensed legal professional. It is not a law firm, it does not provide legal advice, and its use does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Veritas. The Connector does not practice law. It is not a substitute for the independent professional judgment, review, and verification that a licensed attorney is required to exercise over any document the attorney signs or files. You remain solely responsible for the content of your filings and for compliance with all applicable rules of professional conduct, court rules, and law.

Veritas reports findings using measured, hedged language. A finding that an authority was "not located in reporter" or "could not be verified" is a prompt for the attorney to investigate. It is not a legal determination, and the absence of an item from a data source is not, by itself, proof that the item is incorrect.

When your client relays a finding to you in its own words, the relayed text may differ from the language Veritas returned. The authoritative record of any review is the Verification Certificate, not the conversational summary your client generates. Read the Certificate.

2. Definitions specific to the Connector

For these MCP Terms:

“Scan” means one invocation of the verify tool over one document or one set of citations, regardless of how many citations it contains, bounded by the per-document citation limit described in Section 5.
“Regular scan” means a Scan that runs the standard existence, name-match, treatment, and pincite checks.
“Deep scan” means a Scan that additionally runs proposition validation — whether the cited authority supports the point it is cited for. Deep scan is payment-gated: every BILLABLE pay-as-you-go Scan is a deep scan (at the same per-scan price), and active seat subscribers receive deep scans under their subscription. The Free Scans run regular scans only.
“Verification Certificate” or “Certificate” means the hashed, time-stamped record the Connector generates for a Scan, retrievable by the owning account and, if you choose, publishable to a public reference URL.
“Free Scans” has the meaning in Section 3.
“De-duplication window” means the limited period after a Scan during which an identical re-scan of the same content returns the Certificate already produced for that content rather than running and metering a new Scan, as described in Section 5.
“Billable scan” means a Scan that is not a Free Scan, not an identical re-scan within the de-duplication window, and not run by an active seat subscriber.
“Account” means the Veritas account created or resolved through the connection and consent flow.

3. Free tier

A new Connector account receives three (3) Free Scans. Free Scans are regular scans — the existence, name-match, treatment, and pincite checks — that require no payment method and are not charged. Deep scan is payment-gated and is never part of the free tier.

After the three Free Scans are used, a further scan is a billable scan and requires a payment method on file and your acceptance of the separate Billing and Usage Agreement. Until those are in place, the verify tool returns a prompt to add payment rather than running a billable scan or failing silently. The mechanics, price, and all billing terms are stated in the Billing and Usage Agreement and are disclosed to you before you provide any billing information.

An active seat subscriber who connects the Connector runs scans under that subscription, not under the pay-as-you-go tier, consistent with the seat plan's terms.

4. The account, identity, and account security

The Connector authenticates through an authorization and consent flow that resolves to a Veritas account. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for the security of your credentials and of any client you authorize to hold a Connector access token, and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly at andrew@veritaslaw.app of any suspected unauthorized use of your account or token.

An access token issued to your Connector is the key to your account, including to any unpublished Verification Certificate. Treat it as a credential. We may revoke a token, and you may disconnect the Connector at any time, which stops further token-authorized access. Disconnecting the Connector does not by itself cancel billing; cancellation is governed by the Billing and Usage Agreement.

5. Acceptable use and API terms

In addition to the acceptable-use terms in the General Terms, you agree, when using the Connector, that you will not, and will not permit any client, agent, or third party acting through your account to:

Circumvent, disable, or attempt to circumvent the metering, the Free-Scan allotment, the de-duplication mechanism, the payment gate, or any usage limit or access control. Each billable scan is metered server-side; you may not structure inputs, manipulate identifiers, split or recombine documents, or otherwise act to obtain a billable scan without it being metered and charged.
Exceed or attempt to exceed the per-document citation limit. A document is bounded by that limit; a submission over the limit is rejected and is not a completed Scan. You may not split a single document across multiple Scans for the purpose of defeating the limit, nor combine unrelated documents to defeat metering.
Submit, through the Connector, any content prohibited under the "Prohibited and sensitive data" section of the General Terms, including criminal justice information and sealed or protected materials. The input gate is a safeguard, not a guarantee, and you remain responsible for what you submit.
Use the Connector, the verify tool, or the returned findings to build, train, benchmark for the purpose of building, or improve a competing product, or to reverse engineer the verification methods.
Share, sublicense, resell, or make the Connector or your access token available to any person outside the account, or operate a verification service bureau through the Connector, except as expressly permitted in a separately signed agreement.
Use the Connector in violation of any applicable law, court rule, rule of professional conduct, the General Terms, or these MCP Terms.

We may set, publish, and enforce rate limits and other technical controls on the Connector, and may suspend or limit access that we reasonably believe abuses the metering, threatens the integrity or security of the service, or violates this section.

6. Not legal advice

The Connector and its output are informational only. They are not legal advice, do not create an attorney-client relationship with Veritas or Banah Enterprises, LLC, are not privileged, and are not a substitute for your own independent professional judgment. Nothing the Connector returns relieves you of any duty you owe as a licensed attorney.

7. An automated aid, not a legal conclusion

Each finding the verify tool returns is a signal for attorney review, not a legal conclusion. The Connector does not guarantee that it will detect every error, omission, mis-citation, or unsupported proposition, and findings that warrant review may, on review, prove unfounded, just as a clean result does not guarantee that every authority is sound. You are solely responsible for independently verifying every citation, quotation, and proposition in any document you file or rely on. This responsibility is consistent with, and does not displace, your professional obligations, including the duty of technological competence and the duties that recent courts and bar authorities have applied to the use of generative artificial intelligence in legal work.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE CONNECTOR, THE VERIFY TOOL, THE VERIFICATION CERTIFICATE, AND ALL RELATED OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BANAH ENTERPRISES, LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

VERITAS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONNECTOR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT IT WILL IDENTIFY EVERY ERROR, OMISSION, MIS-CITATION, OR UNSUPPORTED PROPOSITION IN A DOCUMENT, THAT EVERY AUTHORITY WILL BE CORRECTLY RESOLVED, OR THAT THE RESULTS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. THE CONNECTOR IS A VERIFICATION AID. IT DOES NOT REPLACE THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND VERIFICATION YOU ARE PROFESSIONALLY OBLIGATED TO PERFORM. YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE CONNECTOR AND FOR ANY DOCUMENT YOU SIGN OR FILE.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONNECTOR OR THESE MCP TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF BANAH ENTERPRISES, LLC ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONNECTOR OR THESE MCP TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO VERITAS FOR CONNECTOR USAGE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, VERITAS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SANCTION, FINE, ADVERSE RULING, MALPRACTICE CLAIM, DISCIPLINARY ACTION, LOSS OF A MATTER, OR OTHER HARM ARISING FROM A FILING OR DOCUMENT, INCLUDING ANY AUTHORITY, QUOTATION, OR PROPOSITION THAT THE CONNECTOR DID NOT FLAG OR RESOLVED INCORRECTLY. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONTENT OF FILINGS RESTS WITH THE SIGNING ATTORNEY. THESE LIMITATIONS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, AND IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Nothing in this Section limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or for any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

10. Your professional responsibilities

You acknowledge and agree that you are independently responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving every authority, quotation, and proposition in any document you file or rely on, whether or not the Connector flagged it. A finding warrants your review; the absence of a finding does not excuse it. A result that flags nothing is not a representation that every citation is sound, and you may not treat a clean result as a substitute for your own reading of the cited authority. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the inputs you submit, for the quality of the documents you provide, and for your compliance with all court rules and professional-responsibility duties. Nothing in the Connector or its output relieves you of any such duty.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Banah Enterprises, LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to the content you submit through the Connector, your use of the Connector in violation of these MCP Terms, your submission of prohibited or sensitive data, your filings, or your violation of any law or third-party right. Government customers' indemnification obligations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Software tool, not a law firm

Banah Enterprises, LLC and Veritas are a software tool. They are not a law firm, are not engaged in the practice of law, and do not render legal services. The Connector produces an automated signal for a licensed attorney to review. Your licensed attorney makes all legal judgments. The practice-of-law judgment over any filing is, and remains, the attorney's.

13. Data and confidentiality

Documents you submit through the Connector may contain client-confidential or privileged material. We process them only to provide the Connector and the verification service, we apply the retention, deletion, security, and no-model-training commitments described in our Privacy Policy, and we do not use the content of your documents to train general-purpose models. Our full handling of personal information and your content is described in the Veritas Privacy Policy at veritaslaw.app/privacy, which is incorporated into these MCP Terms by reference. Submitting client material to any third-party service implicates your own duty of confidentiality, which remains yours.

14. Changes to these MCP Terms, and re-acceptance for material changes

We may modify the Connector and may update these MCP Terms. Every revision carries a new version identifier and effective date, and we retain the record of each version and of your acceptance.

For a change that is not material, we will post the updated MCP Terms with a new effective date, and your continued use after the effective date is acceptance. For a material change, including any change to the billing terms, the price, or your or our core obligations, we will present the updated terms and require your fresh affirmative acceptance through a renewed acceptance step before the change applies to you. If you do not accept a material change, you must stop using the Connector; we may then limit or end your Connector access for terms you have not accepted. A price or billing-mandate change is governed by the re-acceptance provision of the Billing and Usage Agreement.

15. Term, suspension, and termination

These MCP Terms apply for as long as you use the Connector. You may disconnect the Connector at any time. We may suspend or limit Connector access immediately if your use poses a security risk, abuses the metering, may harm the service or others, or violates the acceptable-use or prohibited-data terms, or if required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination survive, including the disclaimers, the limitation of liability, indemnification, the professional-responsibility acknowledgments, the data and confidentiality terms, and governing law. Termination of Connector access does not relieve you of fees accrued before termination, which are governed by the Billing and Usage Agreement.

16. Governing law and disputes

These MCP Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any separately signed agreement and to the rights of government customers under applicable law, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Colorado for any dispute. Each party waives any objection to that venue.

17. General

These MCP Terms, together with the General Terms, the Billing and Usage Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and any separately signed agreement, are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Connector and supersede all prior understandings on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these MCP Terms without our prior written consent, except to a successor in a merger or sale of substantially all assets; we may assign to an affiliate or successor. Notices to Veritas may be sent to andrew@veritaslaw.app. Banah Enterprises, LLC is the entity responsible for the Connector.
