Scope of the Service
Not legal advice.
A plain-language summary of the boundary between what Tova does and what employment counsel does. The full terms live at Terms & Disclaimers (§§ 1, 2, 3, 5). Data practices are in the Privacy Policy.
What Tova is
An AI HR business partner. Tova interrogates the facts, assesses risk, drafts scripts and documentation, coaches you through the conversation, and flags when counsel should be looped in, the workflow of an experienced HRBP, encoded.
What Tova is not
- Not a lawyer and not a law firm.
- Not a substitute for advice from employment counsel licensed in your jurisdiction.
- Not the decision-maker on any employment action, that authority remains with your organization.
- Not a source of attorney-client privilege or work-product protection.
- Not an employer, agent, fiduciary, joint employer, or co-decision-maker.
Where AI can be wrong
Output is generated by large language models. It can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date on federal, state, or local law, and it cannot verify facts you have not provided. Review every draft, script, risk call, and document before acting on it, and confirm jurisdiction-specific requirements.
When to escalate to counsel
Whenever the situation involves a pending charge, litigation, government investigation, protected activity in close proximity to adverse action, a reduction in force implicating WARN or disparate impact, high-risk accommodation or leave denials, restrictive-covenant enforcement, or executive separations, engage qualified counsel. When Tova flags "attorney check," that is a signal to escalate, not a substitute for engaging counsel.
Litigation-discovery reminder
Conversations, uploads, and drafts inside the Service are business records of your organization and can be discoverable on the same basis as email, Slack, or HRIS content. Keep entries factual, avoid speculation about protected class or motive, and apply your normal litigation-hold and record-retention practices.
