Current terms at a glanceLast update: Mar 15, 2026

Section	What it says	Why it matters
§4	AI Processing — aiR for Review	Relativity's aiR for Review AI uses document-level analysis without persistent retention of content for model training in standard contracts. Enterprise and RelativityOne Premier contracts have more explicit carve-outs. Verify your tier — base tier language is less restrictive. Monitor
§9.1	Data Residency — US data centers by default	RelativityOne stores data in US data centers by default. Non-US residency requires a separate Data Processing Agreement and geographic workgroup configuration. Cross-border litigation matters require explicit configuration — not auto-enforced. Note
§11	Liability Cap — Fees paid in prior 6 months	Liability capped at fees in the prior 6 months. For large eDiscovery projects, this can run millions — but a major privilege breach or ransomware incident on a high-stakes matter could dwarf that cap. Risk
§6	Workspace Deletion — 30 days post-termination	On contract termination or workspace closure, 30-day export window before permanent deletion. eDiscovery matters with ongoing litigation holds require explicit workspace preservation configuration before account changes. Monitor
§14	Governing Law — Illinois, USA	Disputes governed by Illinois law in Cook County courts. No arbitration clause in standard commercial contracts — litigation venue is Chicago. Note
