These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between you and RAS Consulting Services, LLC (doing business as "SecureJusticeAI"), a New York limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the securejusticeai.com website and the AI strategy, AI governance, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure services delivered through the SecureJusticeAI consortium (collectively, the "Services").

SecureJusticeAI is a four-partner consortium — RAS Consulting Services, LLC, Cognify Solutions, CHIPS Cyber Defense Solutions, LLC, and TechBridge Unlimited — that plans, governs, and delivers the Services together. RAS Consulting Services, LLC is the contracting party for every engagement described in these Terms, and Services are delivered in coordination with its consortium partners as described in Section 10 below.

2. Services Provided

SecureJusticeAI provides an integrated suite of services built exclusively for nonprofit legal services organizations:

• Clarity Audit: A structured two-week assessment of your organization's AI readiness, cybersecurity posture, and IT infrastructure, producing a prioritized roadmap, a funder-ready ROI narrative, and a 90-day deployment plan
• AI Strategy & Custom Agents: Strategic AI planning together with the design, build, and deployment of custom AI agents and automation for your organization's workflows
• AI Governance & Compliance: Governance frameworks, compliance documentation, and risk-assessment architecture aligned to recognized standards such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001
• Zero Trust Cybersecurity: Zero Trust security architecture, endpoint protection, and prevention-first defense designed to reduce operational risk
• IT Infrastructure & AI Solutions: Infrastructure modernization, systems integration, and the technical foundation that supports the services above

3. Eligibility and Client Relationship

Our Services are intended exclusively for nonprofit legal services organizations — including civil legal aid societies, public defender offices, immigration and housing advocacy nonprofits, and pro bono programs — and their authorized representatives. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age
• You have the legal authority to enter into this agreement
• You are a Managing Attorney, Executive Director, Development Director, in-house counsel, or other authorized decision-maker for a nonprofit legal services organization
• All information you provide is accurate, current, and complete

4. Service Delivery and Data Access

4.1 Delivery Within Your Environment

When we design, build, or deploy AI strategy, governance, cybersecurity, or IT infrastructure solutions, our work is performed within your existing technology infrastructure wherever feasible. Specifically:

• We access your organization's data exclusively within your network and behind your firewall
• We do not copy, extract, or remove your data from your systems except as necessary to deliver the specific Service you have engaged us for, and only with your authorization
• We implement agents, automation, and security tooling that interact with your systems via MCP servers, APIs, and other secure integration methods
• Where a Service involves cloud-hosted infrastructure (for example, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configuration), data processing occurs within your own organization's tenant and controlled environment, not on infrastructure owned by the Company

4.2 Your Data

You retain all ownership rights to your organization's data, your clients' information (subject to attorney-client privilege, where applicable), and the work product generated using our tools. You may request export or deletion of any data we hold on your behalf at any time, subject to Section 13.3.
