Effective date: July 4, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Bengos (the "Service"), operated by Bengos LLC ("we," "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. These Terms apply each time you use the Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Bengos is a typing practice application built around legal rule statements and related study tools. The Service is an educational tool. It is not legal advice, it is not a bar review course, and it does not guarantee any exam result. Content is provided for typing practice and study support only, and may contain errors; you are responsible for verifying any statement of law against primary sources.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate registration information, including your legal name, and to keep your credentials confidential. Accounts are personal; you may not share an account or permit anyone else to use it. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
New accounts receive a free trial of 7 days. When the trial ends, access to practice content is suspended until a subscription is purchased. Subscription pricing, billing, and cancellation terms will be presented at the point of purchase. We may modify pricing prospectively with notice.
The Service, including all rule-statement passages, the organization and arrangement of the content library, highlights and annotations supplied by us, software, and design, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your own study while your account is active. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, export, scrape, or systematically download any content from the Service, and you may not use automated tools, scripts, or bots to access it. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Your use of the Service does not transfer to you any ownership of, or other interest in, the Service or its content.
The Bengos name, wordmark, and logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission. Other product and company names appearing on the Service may be trademarks of their respective owners.
Where the Service lets you add your own content, such as supplemental rule statements, you retain ownership of the content you write, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, create derivative works of, back up, and display that content to operate, secure, and improve the Service and to develop new features and content, without compensation or attribution to you. Content you add is private to your account and is not displayed to other users. You represent that you have the rights necessary to add the content you add. You acknowledge that short statements of legal rules may have little or no copyright protection, and in any event you agree not to assert against us any copyright or similar claim arising from our exercise of the license above. We may add, change, or remove this capability at any time. You authorize us to use information about your use of the Service in any manner consistent with our Privacy Policy.
You agree not to: (a) access the Service by any automated means; (b) circumvent or probe any security or access-control measure; (c) reverse engineer any part of the Service; (d) resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to any third party; or (e) use the Service in violation of any law. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.
Extended typing carries a risk of repetitive strain injury. During onboarding you acknowledged a separate Warning and Waiver regarding this risk. Take regular breaks to rest and stretch, and follow ergonomic guidance. Stop and consult a medical professional if you experience pain or numbness.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of certain damages. If those laws apply to you, some of the exclusions and limitations in Sections 9 and 10 may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our members, managers, employees, and agents harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or content you add to the Service, including any claim that content you added infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property or other rights of a third party.
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, and we may modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. Sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights, including your right to bring a claim in court and to participate in a class action.
Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at legal@bengos.io with a written description of the dispute and give us 60 days to resolve it.
Arbitration. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, by videoconference or telephone, or, at your election, in the county where you live. Filing and arbitrator fees are allocated under the AAA rules. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief that a court could award.
Exceptions. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court. We may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect our intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to, copying of, or scraping of the Service. Nothing in this section waives any non-waivable right you may have to seek public injunctive relief.
Class action waiver. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. If this class action waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, must proceed in court, and this waiver remains in effect for all other claims.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing legal@bengos.io within 30 days of creating your account, stating your username and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other section of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 15 will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
