Product

The operations layer for already-published legal texts.

TermShelf structures the lifecycle of already-approved legal texts — from bringing in existing copy through controlled publishing and HTML/JSON/PDF delivery to live drift checks. And after that: noticing the changes that can make another review necessary.

What TermShelf manages

Legally relevant documents.

Bring your own legal texts: self-authored or externally provided texts are managed in a structured way. TermShelf does not produce legally binding content itself.

Lifecycle

From bringing in existing texts to live drift checks.

An end-to-end, auditable lifecycle for every document — including delivery to websites, apps and transactional systems. And an observation layer that closes the loop.

  1. Bring in

    Existing texts

  2. Structure

    Sections & blocks

  3. Version

    Immutable snapshots

  4. Approve

    Auditable review

  5. Publish

    Targeted per target

  6. Deliver

    HTML / JSON / PDF

  7. Drift check

    Detect divergence

Observation layer

The lifecycle does not end at publication.

Document Intelligence runs around the lifecycle. Three signals can start a new review and drafting cycle at any time — even when nobody touched the text itself.

  • LegalChange

    The legal context changes.

  • WebsiteChange

    Beta

    The website, the offering or the services in use change.

  • Legal Content Drift

    The live version diverges from the approved one.

Each of these signals leads back into review, drafting and approval — never straight into a publication.

Website Change Monitoring is labelled beta: available and under active development. That does not apply to Legal Change Monitoring or Legal Content Drift.

Structural model

Clear hierarchies for complex setups.

From workspace to site profile, TermShelf reflects organizational and technical reality — without duplicating each document in full.

Auditability

History remains traceable.

Versions, approvals, and publications are documented consistently and viewable through timelines.

Versions

Immutable snapshots with version numbers.

Timelines

Chronological view across document events.

Approval history

Who approved what and when — including notes.

Publication history

Which version was live on which target and when.

Delivery

Consume published content as HTML, JSON or PDF.

Published artifacts are available via the Public Delivery API in three forms: HTML fragments for websites, apps, footers and transactional emails, JSON for your own templates and rendering logic, and PDF artifacts for attaching to order, contract or sign-up emails.

Structure, versions and delivery — in one place.

TermShelf brings order to operating already-published legal texts across websites, apps and transactional systems.
