Terms of Use
Effective August 18, 2026
Legal information, not legal advice
Child Evidence provides legal information and scientific research support, not legal advice. Nothing on this site is a substitute for the judgment of a licensed attorney applied to the facts of a specific matter, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using this site, creating an account, saving work, or contacting us. The law governing the admissibility and weight of scientific evidence varies by jurisdiction and changes over time.
Your duty to verify
Every citation on this site resolves to a real, stored bibliographic record, and no citation is ever generated from an AI model’s memory. Even so, you are responsible for independently verifying any study, quotation, or characterization before relying on it in a filing or in court. Follow the source link, read the study, and confirm it says what you need it to say. Professional -responsibility rules in every United States jurisdiction place the duty of candor and the duty of technological competence on the filing attorney, not on any research tool.
Confidentiality — do not store client information
The workspace exists to organize research about published science, and it is designed so that it never needs privileged case facts. Do not enter client-identifying information, privileged or work-product material you are not prepared to store with a third party, or protected health information (PHI) into searches, matter names, tags, or notes. Child Evidence is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, does not sign Business Associate Agreements, and is not warranted for the storage of PHI or sealed material. Your professional obligations regarding confidentiality (including ABA Model Rule 1.6 and its state analogues) remain yours.
How the AI is and is not used
- AI systems assist editors in drafting and screening content offline. A human editor performs every act of judgment — the canonical phrasing of each claim, both evidence ratings, the guardrails, and publication sign-off.
- No content on a published claim page is generated by a model at request time, and no citation can render unless it is a database reference to a stored, verified study record.
- Search uses an AI embedding of your query for ranking only. Your inputs are never used to train models. See the Privacy Policy and the Method page for the full disclosure.
Acceptable use
You may use the site and its exports in your research and practice, including filing exported documents with courts. You may not scrape the site at abusive volume, attempt to circumvent access controls or rate limits, misrepresent Child Evidence certifications, or present modified exports as unmodified Child Evidence documents.
No warranty; limitation of liability
The site is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose. Science evolves; studies are superseded; grading reflects editorial judgment at the stated review date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Child Evidence and its operator are not liable for any damages arising from use of, or reliance on, the site or its exports.
Accounts and termination
You are responsible for activity under your account. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your Account page. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms.
Changes and contact
Material changes to these terms will update the effective date above and be noted in the public ledger. Questions: legal@childevidence.com.
