TOS · Clio /tos · Practice management SaaS — your outside counsel uses this
+ §16.6 added: "Themis may de-identify and aggregate Content submitted to AI Services to improve service quality. Subscriber's use of AI Services does not grant Themis the right to use Confidential Information to train generalized LLMs." + §16 new obligation: "Subscribers agree to use AI Services only with human oversight and are responsible for reviewing AI Output before disclosing or using it." flagged: AI training, confidentiality, human oversight impact: any matter files uploaded to Clio for AI summarization are now subject to de-identified aggregation for Clio's quality improvement. Review your outside counsel's Clio usage policy. The human-oversight clause shifts liability for AI output accuracy to the subscriber — relevant if your counsel uses Clio Duo on your matters. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
SLA · CloudOps MSP /service-level-agreement · Primary IT vendor
- "Provider guarantees 99.9% uptime, measured monthly. Credits: 10% of monthly fee per hour of downtime exceeding SLA." + "Provider guarantees 99.5% uptime, measured quarterly. Credits: 5% of monthly fee per incident, capped at 15% of monthly fees per quarter." flagged: SLA, uptime, credits, quarterly impact: uptime guarantee dropped 0.4 points; measurement window shifted monthly → quarterly (harder to claim credits); credit cap reduced. This is a unilateral downgrade. Review your MSA for amendment-notice requirements and whether you have a right to terminate for material change. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
Sub-processor list · Harvey AI /legal/subprocessors · Legal AI tool (outside counsel)
+ Added: Cerebras Systems (high-performance compute, US) flagged: sub-processor, AI impact: Harvey's DPA gives customers 15 days to object to new sub-processors. Object by June 3 if Cerebras poses a data-residency concern. Note: Harvey's no-train commitment extends to all sub-processors — this addition does not affect that protection.
Regulatory · Illinois EPA /air/permits · State regulator page
+ Updated fee schedule: permit renewal application fees increased 8% effective July 1, 2026. impact: non-material operationally. Flag to EHS team for budget update if you have permits renewing after July 1.
Privacy Policy · Competitor — Apex Industrial /privacy-policy
+ Added: "We may share aggregated, de-identified operational data with industry benchmarking partners." impact: if Apex is a current or potential vendor/partner, review what data you share with them — this new clause expands their downstream sharing rights.
Terms · DocuSign /terms-of-service
+ §12 updated: 30-day advance notice now required before any price changes on auto-renewing contracts. Previously: 14 days. impact: favorable change. Updated your vendor-monitoring checklist to note DocuSign now provides more notice than the contractual minimum.
