Effective date: August 2, 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. Its content includes legal rule statements and related study tools, and may include other materials such as public-domain texts and writing, grammar, and style examples. The Service is an educational tool. To the extent it presents statements of law, 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. The email address you register must be your own and one you are authorized to use; you may not sign up with an email address belonging to another person. 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. The Service is directed to and intended for users in the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
New accounts receive a free trial of 7 days. No payment method is required for the trial. Free trials are limited to one per person. You may not create multiple accounts, use multiple or disposable email addresses, or take other steps to obtain more than one free trial. We may decline, shorten, or revoke a trial, and may suspend or terminate accounts, if we believe you have done any of these things or are otherwise abusing the trial.
When a trial ends, access to practice content is suspended until you purchase access. Access is sold as a single payment and is not a subscription: it does not renew, your payment method is not charged automatically, and there is nothing to cancel. Access for a later examination administration requires a new purchase. Pricing is presented at the point of purchase.
A purchase of access covers a single bar examination administration: the next scheduled administration following your purchase. It gives you access through the Friday of that administration's examination week. If you sit a later administration, you will need to purchase access again for it. The access end date is fixed when you purchase, and we may adjust it at our discretion if you write to us.
Except where the law requires otherwise, access fees are non-refundable. We may change our trial offering and our pricing prospectively; a price change does not affect access you have already purchased.
Subscriptions purchased before the effective date of these Terms continue under the terms presented at their point of purchase, including their automatic renewal and cancellation terms, until they are canceled or otherwise end. We no longer offer subscriptions.
The Service, including the passages and other content we provide, the selection, organization, and arrangement of the content library, highlights and annotations supplied by us, software, algorithms, and design, is owned by us or our licensors, or used with permission or as the law allows, and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights under United States and other laws, whether registered or unregistered. 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 passages, 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. You represent that you have the rights necessary to add the content you add, and your obligation to defend and indemnify us for content you add is described in Section 12. You acknowledge that short statements of rules, facts, or ideas 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. Except where required by applicable law, we are not obligated to provide any means to export or download your data or content, and any export or download capability we may offer is at our discretion and may be changed or removed at any time. You authorize us to use information about your use of the Service in any manner consistent with our Privacy Policy. If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you agree that we may use them for any purpose without obligation, confidentiality, attribution, or compensation to you, and you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to do so.
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed; (c) identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; (d) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (e) a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Our designated agent for notices of claimed copyright infringement is the Copyright Agent, Bengos LLC, 355 S. Grand Ave., Suite 2450, Los Angeles, CA 90071, email legal@bengos.io. If your content is removed and you believe the removal was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent containing the information the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires, and we will proceed as that Act provides. We may remove material claimed to be infringing, and we may terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.
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.
Typing and screen use for extended periods carry health risks. These include strain and repetitive-stress injuries to the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, and back; eye strain, headaches, and effects of prolonged sitting. During onboarding you acknowledged a separate Warning and Waiver that describes these risks in more detail. Take regular breaks to rest and stretch, follow ergonomic guidance, and do not practice for longer than is comfortable. Stop and consult a medical professional if you experience pain, numbness, tingling, or other symptoms.
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, IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING, THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE OF ONE PURCHASE OF ACCESS.
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 10 and 11 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.
We may deactivate or delete accounts that no longer have active access. We may send notice to the email address associated with your account before deletion, giving you an opportunity to keep the account by signing in or purchasing access. We may give you notice by email, and any notice is effective when sent to your account email address; you are responsible for keeping that address current and monitored. Deletion may be permanent and irreversible. This section does not limit our right to retain records we are required or permitted to keep, or to retain de-identified or aggregated data, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Sections 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 survive termination.
You agree to receive communications from us electronically, including by email and through the Service, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. You agree that your electronic acceptances and signatures, including when you click to accept these Terms, sign the Warning and Waiver during onboarding, or authorize a charge, have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures. We rely on email to communicate with you, so you are responsible for keeping the email address on your account current and monitored. Because the Service operates only electronically, we do not provide it, or related records, on paper.
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 we make a material change to Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), we will give notice by email to your account address before it takes effect, and you may reject that change by using the opt-out in that Section or by closing your account.
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.
Mass filings. If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are submitted against us by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, or in a coordinated manner, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and the associated AAA fee schedule will apply to those demands. This does not change the individual basis of each claim or the class action waiver above.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing legal@bengos.io within 30 days of creating your account, stating the email address associated with your account 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 16 will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
We may assign or transfer these Terms, and our rights and obligations under them, including the licenses you grant in Section 6, without your consent, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account, and any attempt to do so is void. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Warning and Waiver you acknowledge during onboarding, and any terms we present at the point of purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and they replace any earlier or contemporaneous understanding on that subject. 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. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it, and no waiver is effective unless in writing. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by conditions beyond our reasonable control. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of restricted or prohibited parties, and you agree to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws when using the Service.
