Mike Terms of Service

Effective October 20, 2026

1.1 Parties. These terms are between Summation Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation that provides Mike ("we", "us"), and the company on whose behalf they are accepted ("you"). The person accepting confirms they have authority to bind that company.

1.2 The Service. Mike is software that reviews commercial agreements. It reads agreements you send it and agreements you have signed, proposes changes with reasons and citations to your own signed agreements, answers questions about them, and prepares draft replies and questions for you to review and send (the "Service").

1.3 Not a law firm. We are not a law firm and Mike is not a lawyer. The Service does not provide legal advice, legal opinions or legal representation. Using it does not create an attorney-client relationship with us or with anyone who works for us.

1.4 Not a substitute for a lawyer. Mike's output is generated by AI models to help you make your own decisions. It may be wrong or incomplete, including its citations and quotes, even after Mike checks its own work. It is not a substitute for a lawyer's judgment. Where Mike flags a clause for counsel, has nothing to cite, or the stakes are high for you, have a licensed lawyer review it.

1.5 Business use only. The Service is for businesses. It is not for personal, family or household use, and everyone who uses it must be at least 18.

2.1 Early access. The Service is a pre-release product. Features may change, break or be withdrawn without notice. We do not commit to any service level or to a general release.

2.2 Invitation. Access is by invitation. We may decline or withdraw access at any time.

2.3 Your organization. The person who sets up your company on Mike is its owner. The owner and the admins they appoint decide who joins: anyone with your company's email domain, or only people an admin approves, plus anyone they invite. Everyone in your organization can see its Recall, contracts and reviews. You are responsible for who you let in and for what they do in the Service.

2.4 Your sign-in. Keep your sign-in secure and tell us promptly at privacy@summation.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

2.5 Authority to connect. If you connect a mailbox or file store, you confirm your company's policies allow you to.

3.1 What you connect. Any member of your organization may connect a Google or Microsoft 365 account so Mike can read that mailbox and the files they can open in Google Drive or OneDrive, including files shared with them. Mike asks Google for permission to read mail, manage drafts and read files, and asks Microsoft for permission to read and write mail and read files. Both grants are broader than what Mike does: Google's includes sending email, and Microsoft's includes changing and deleting mail. Mike never asks Microsoft for permission to send mail. Mike reads connected sources in the background until you disconnect, checking for forwards every few minutes and for new agreements every week, and agreements it finds are visible to everyone in your organization. Your use of Google and Microsoft remains governed by your agreements with them.

3.2 What Mike does with that access. Mike uses it only to:

  • find and read documents that look like commercial agreements, and the mail about them;
  • build your organization's record of signed terms ("Recall");
  • read contracts you forward or upload for review, and the other side's answers in threads where Mike drafted your reply;
  • create draft replies in your mailbox, with attachments, when you ask; and
  • create drafts of questions to the people you name, such as your insurance broker or outside counsel, and read their answers in those threads, except answers from your outside counsel.

3.3 What Mike does not do. Mike does not send email from your mailbox. It does not delete or change your existing mail or files. It does not open mail to or from your outside counsel, meaning the domains you list in settings and the person you name as outside counsel. When you send counsel a question through Mike, Mike notes that counsel replied and links to the thread, but does not open the reply. Mike can recognize only counsel you list, and only from the time you list them, so list them when you set up your company, before anyone connects a mailbox, and keep the list current.

3.4 Documents that are not commercial agreements. When Mike identifies a document as something else (for example HR, financing or lease documents), it deletes its copy and does not use it. Mike may have to read part of a document to make that call.

3.5 Google and Microsoft data. Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements, and the Google Workspace user data and developer policy. We hold data from Microsoft 365 to the same commitments. We do not sell this data, use it for advertising, or use it to train generalized AI models. No person at our company reads it except (a) with your permission for specific items, (b) to investigate a security incident or abuse, or (c) where the law requires. We will not transfer it in a merger, acquisition or sale of our business without your explicit consent first.

3.6 Disconnecting. You can disconnect a mailbox at any time in settings. Mike then stops reading it and its files. What Mike already added to Recall stays until you remove it or delete your organization's data (Section 8.2).

3.7 Mailboxes your colleagues connect. Agreements found in any member's mailbox or files become part of your organization's Recall and are visible to its members. Connect only a mailbox whose agreements you may share with your colleagues.

4.1 Your Content. "Your Content" means the mail, documents and other material Mike reads from your connected sources or that you send it, and the records Mike builds from them. As between you and us, you own Your Content.

4.2 Our permission to use it. You allow us to host, copy and process Your Content only to provide the Service to you, keep it secure, fix problems with it and comply with the law. People at our company read Your Content only in the cases Section 3.5 allows.

4.3 Other people's confidential information. Your Content will include agreements and correspondence with your customers, vendors and other counterparties. You confirm you are allowed to share them with us as your service provider, including under any confidentiality terms you have agreed with those parties. You are responsible for any notice or consent the law requires from people whose mail or documents Mike reads for you.

4.4 Confidentiality. We will keep Your Content confidential, use it only as these terms allow, and protect it with at least reasonable care. We will share it only with our personnel who need it to run the Service and with the subprocessors in 4.6, each bound by written terms that require it to protect Your Content and use it only to provide its service to us. This does not cover information that is public through no fault of ours or that the law requires us to disclose. Where the law allows, we will tell you before disclosing.

4.5 No training. We do not use Your Content to train or fine-tune AI models, and we do not allow our model providers to.

4.6 Subprocessors. Mike runs on agent.cloud, our own platform. We use third parties to run it: Anthropic for AI models, Google Cloud for the infrastructure agent.cloud runs on, Google Workspace for Mike's forwarding mailbox, an email delivery provider for service emails, and Stripe for payments, which handles card details so we never see the full card number. Section 4 of the Mike Privacy Notice lists them. We will email your organization's owner at least 14 days before adding a subprocessor that handles Your Content.

4.7 Separation between customers. Your Content is used only for your organization. Recall is built from your agreements alone. Mike does not use one customer's agreements, positions or negotiating history in another customer's review, and its output for one customer does not reveal anything Mike holds for another.

4.8 Security. We maintain safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of Your Content, including encryption in transit, encryption of stored Google and Microsoft tokens, and access limited to the people who need it to run the Service.

4.9 Incidents. If we learn of unauthorized access to Your Content, we will tell you without undue delay and within 72 hours of confirming it, with what we know and what we are doing about it, and we will cooperate reasonably with your response.

4.10 Personal data. Your Content will contain personal data, such as names and contact details in mail and agreements. We process it on your behalf, on your instructions and only for the limited purpose of providing the Service. Where the California Consumer Privacy Act or a similar state privacy law applies, we act as your service provider or processor, and we will: not sell or share that data; not use, keep or disclose it outside our relationship with you or for any other purpose; not combine it with personal data from other sources except as that law allows; give it the protection that law requires; help you respond to requests from individuals about it; and bind our subprocessors to the same terms. We will comply with that law for this data and tell you within five business days if we decide we can no longer meet these obligations. You may take reasonable steps to check that we use the data in line with that law, such as a written security questionnaire once a year, and, after notice, to stop and fix any unauthorized use.

4.11 Privacy notice. The Mike Privacy Notice at mikecheck.legal/privacy describes how we handle personal data and data from the mailboxes you connect.

5.1 Output. "Output" means everything Mike produces: proposed changes, reasons, citations, extracted terms and obligations, summaries, answers to your questions, suggested negotiating ranges, checks, reminders, and draft replies and questions.

5.2 You review and decide. Every Output is a proposal. You decide what to accept, modify, reject or send to a lawyer, what goes to the other side, and whether to sign. Mike never sends anything to your counterparties or advisers; you do. What you send, agree to or sign is your company's act and position, and you are solely responsible for those decisions and for the agreements that result.

5.3 Accepting in bulk. The Service lets you accept Mike's proposals together, by issue or by section, including with "Dangerously accept all". If you do, you are responsible for every proposal accepted that way as if you had read each one, including any statement Mike marked as needing your confirmation.

5.4 Recall, obligations and reminders. Mike's record of what you have signed, and the obligations and dates it lists, are generated by software. Terms stay "proposed" until you confirm them, and extracted terms, dates and amounts may be wrong or incomplete. The signed agreement always controls. Reminders may be late, wrong or not sent. Do not rely on the Service as your only record of an obligation or deadline.

5.5 No privilege. We are not your lawyer, so what you send Mike and what Mike produces are not protected by attorney-client privilege on that basis, and could have to be disclosed in a dispute. Sending privileged material to Mike may put its privilege at risk. Do not forward your lawyers' advice to Mike.

5.6 No conflict checks. A law firm may not act for both sides of a deal. We are not a law firm and do not run conflict checks. Your counterparty in a negotiation may also be our customer. Section 4.7 is your protection in that case.

5.7 Similar output. Other customers may receive Output similar to yours, because agreements share common terms.

5.8 Facts you give Mike. Mike relies on what you tell it and confirm about your company, such as insurance limits or certifications. You are responsible for the accuracy of those statements, including when they appear in a draft you send.

5.9 No reliance. You are not relying on us or on Mike for legal advice. No statement outside these terms, including on our website, in our marketing, in the Service or from our staff, is a promise about what Mike will find or how a negotiation or agreement will turn out. Comparisons with outside counsel describe what the software does, not a professional service.

5.10 People you bring in. Answers from people you send questions to through Mike, such as your counsel or broker, are their advice, not ours.

6.1 Acceptable use. You will not:

  • present Output to anyone as legal advice or as the work of a lawyer;
  • resell the Service or use it to provide legal services to others;
  • send Mike material you have no right to share, or anything malicious;
  • use the Service for consumer, employment, litigation, criminal or immigration matters, or to prepare filings with a court or government agency;
  • use the Service or Output to build a competing product or to train AI models;
  • use the Service in a way that breaks Anthropic's Usage Policy, which applies to the AI models Mike uses;
  • probe, disrupt, overload or reverse engineer the Service, or reach it by automated means other than those it offers; or
  • use it to break the law.

6.2 Fees. Recall, NDAs and your first contract review are free. After that, each contract costs the price the Service shows before you export it (currently US$99, as on our pricing page), with every round included until it is signed. Documents sent together for review, such as an agreement and its DPA, count as one contract. A contract is charged once, the first time Mike's redline or clean copy of it leaves the Service, as a draft or a download. Reviews you never export, as a draft or a download, are not charged. If we agree other pricing with you in the Service or in writing, such as a pilot, that pricing applies instead. Your organization's owner adds a card through our payment processor, and you authorize us to charge it for each contract when it is charged, until the owner removes the card. Fees are in US dollars, are non-refundable except under Section 7.4 or where the law requires, and exclude taxes; you pay any sales, use or similar taxes on them, other than taxes on our income. We may hold new reviews or exports while a payment is outstanding or your organization is over the limits the Service shows. We will give 30 days' notice before changing a price, and a new price applies only to contracts started after it takes effect.

6.3 Our property. We own the Service, including its software, prompts, review methods and design. These terms give you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your company's internal business while they are in force, and nothing more. We keep all rights not granted.

6.4 Your property. As between you and us, you own Your Content and the Output produced for you. We do not promise that Output can be protected as intellectual property.

6.5 Usage data. We may use data about how the Service is used and how it performs, such as counts, timings and error rates, to run and improve it. This data does not include the text of Your Content.

6.6 Feedback. If you give us suggestions about the Service, we may use them without restriction or payment. We will not name you as the source without your permission.

6.7 Publicity. Neither party will use the other's name or logo without written consent.

7.1 Provided as is. Except as Section 7.4 provides, the Service and all Output are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Output is generated by AI models, and we do not warrant that it is correct, complete, current, enforceable or right for your jurisdiction, that its citations and quotes are accurate, or that Mike will find every issue in an agreement. We are not responsible for services we do not control, including Google, Microsoft, our payment processor and our model providers.

7.2 No indirect damages, and no liability for your outcomes. Neither party is liable to the other for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, or indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, even if told they were possible. We are also not liable for any loss arising from:

  • a proposal you accepted, modified or rejected, one at a time or in bulk;
  • an agreement you signed, did not sign or negotiated using the Service, or its terms;
  • a dispute with your counterparty;
  • a missed deadline or obligation;
  • a loss of privilege; or
  • anything you sent using a draft from Mike.

7.3 Cap. Each party's total liability under these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) US$100.

7.4 Your remedy for a review. If a review fails to do what Section 1.2 describes, tell us within 30 days of receiving it. Your sole and exclusive remedy, and our entire liability for that failure, is that we run the review again or refund the fee you paid for that contract.

7.5 What the limits do not cover. Sections 7.2 to 7.4 do not limit liability for fraud, willful misconduct, your breach of 6.1, your obligations under 7.6, our obligations under 7.7 (which are limited to US$50,000 instead), amounts you owe us, or anything the law does not allow to be limited.

7.6 Your indemnity. You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from (a) Your Content, including a claim that you had no right to share it with us, (b) your decisions on Output and what you send, agree to or sign using it, including any claim by your counterparty, or (c) your breach of 6.1.

7.7 Our indemnity. We will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the Service itself, as we provide it, infringes that party's copyright or trademark or misappropriates its trade secrets. This does not cover patent claims, or claims arising from Your Content, from Output based on it, or from changes to the Service or combinations with it that we did not make. If we believe the Service may be subject to such a claim, we may change it, get you the right to keep using it, or end your access to the affected part.

7.8 How indemnities work. The party asking for a defense tells the other promptly, lets it control the defense and any settlement, and gives reasonable help at the defending party's cost. A late notice matters only to the extent it harms the defense. No settlement may admit fault for, or put obligations on, the other party without its consent.

7.9 Why these limits. These limits reflect the price of the Service and the fact that you, not Mike, make the final decision on every agreement.

8.1 Term. These terms start when you accept them and run until you or we end them. Either may end them at any time by notice. You can also end them by deleting your organization in settings. Ending them does not undo fees already charged.

8.2 Deletion. You can delete everything Mike holds for your organization at any time in settings. When these terms end, we will delete Your Content, including stored Google and Microsoft tokens, within 30 days. The exceptions are backup copies, which are overwritten within 90 days, and anything the law requires us to keep. Drafts Mike already put in your mailbox and files you downloaded stay with you, so download anything else you want before these terms end.

8.3 What survives. Sections 1.3, 1.4, 3.5 and 4 (for as long as we hold Your Content), 5, 6.1, 6.2 (for fees owed), 6.3 to 6.6, 7 and 8 continue after these terms end.

8.4 Changes. We may change these terms. We will email the organization owner at least 30 days before a material change takes effect. We may also ask you to accept the new version in the Service. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept it. Changes that are not material take effect when we post them. A change does not apply to a dispute that arose before it took effect.

8.5 Governing law and disputes. These terms are governed by Washington law, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. Before starting a claim, each party will try for 30 days to resolve it informally, starting from written notice. A dispute that is not resolved goes to binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's Commercial Arbitration Rules, before one arbitrator in King County, Washington, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Claims are brought only individually, not as a class or representative action; if that limit is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to the courts named below instead of arbitration. Either party may go to the state or federal courts in King County for injunctive relief, intellectual property claims, or to enforce an award. Both parties consent to those courts and waive a jury trial there. A claim must be brought within one year after it arises.

8.6 Assignment. Neither party may assign these terms without the other's consent, except to an affiliate, or to a successor to all or most of its business (for us, the business of Mike) by merger, reorganization or sale, with notice. Any other assignment is void.

8.7 Notices. We send notices to the organization owner's email address. Send notices to us at contact@summation.com. An email notice is received when sent, unless the sender gets a delivery failure.

8.8 Whole agreement. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about Mike and replace any earlier understanding about it. If you and we sign a separate written agreement for Mike, it controls where the two conflict. The Mike Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal data; where it conflicts with these terms, these terms control. If you also accept terms for agent.cloud when you sign in, these terms control for Mike. Summation's Terms of Use do not apply to Mike, and these terms are separate from any agreement you have with Summation for its other products. If a term is unenforceable, it is limited only as far as needed and the rest stay in force.

8.9 Where Mike is available. The Service is offered to businesses in the United States. We may limit it to certain states or offer it in other countries.

8.10 Accepting these terms. You accept these terms by clicking to agree where the Service presents them. Each person who accepts does so for your company. We record who accepted, for which company, when, and which version. You agree to receive notices and records electronically.

8.11 Suspension. We may suspend access to protect the Service or other customers, or for fees past due, with notice where practical.

8.12 Events beyond our control. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as outages at providers we depend on. This does not excuse fees owed.

8.13 Sanctions and export. You confirm you are not in a sanctioned country or on a U.S. restricted-party list, and you will not use the Service in breach of export or sanctions laws.

8.14 General. The parties are independent contractors. No one else has rights under these terms. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. "Including" means including without limitation, and headings are for convenience only.
