1. Scope: These Terms govern your use of LawY. Your use of other LPM Partner Services remains governed by the applicable LPM Partner Terms.
  2. Definitions. In these terms and conditions (the Terms):
  3. Effective Date. These Terms apply from the date your account is created in LawY.
  4. Services. LawY is an AI-powered platform that aims to provide legal professionals with answers to legal questions in matters covering a range of common areas of law (Queries). LawY uses a third-party artificial intelligence service, OpenAI’s large-scale language-generation model accessed through OpenAI’s corporate API, to create an answer to each Query and, if the AI-generated answer is submitted for verification, an experienced legal professional verifies the answer to that Query.
  5. Right to Use.
    1. Subject to these Terms, we grant you and your Users a non-exclusive and non-transferrable right to use LawY during your LPM Subscription.
    2. LawY may be used by you or your Users to complete legal research via logging Queries and, if desired, submitting the AI-generated answers for verification. LawY must not be used to provide specific legal advice or as a substitute to a qualified solicitor in the relevant jurisdiction preparing a response to a client inquiry.
    3. LawY retains the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to provide an AI-generated and/or a verified answer to a Query that it is outside the scope of the LawY service or is non-compliant with these Terms.
    4. LawY retains the right to charge reasonable costs incurred for providing an answer to a Query. Where applicable, you will be informed and required to agree to such a cost before it is charged.
    5. The right to use under these Terms is for the sole purpose of you or your Users using LawY for your internal business purposes and will end upon any termination of these Terms or your LPM Partner Subscription (whichever occurs first).
  6. Suspension.
    1. We reserve the right to audit your use of LawY and, if we are of the opinion in our sole discretion that your use exceeds Clause 5 above or is otherwise non-compliant with these Terms we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to LawY.
    2. As LawY incorporates third party services, if a third-party service becomes unavailable or unsuitable for use in LawY, LawY may suspend the delivery of LawY while it investigates suitable substitute services. If a suitable substitute service cannot be found, LawY may terminate these Terms and access to the services effective immediately upon written notice to you.
  7. Disclaimer
    1. You acknowledge and agree that LawY includes elements of artificial intelligence to facilitate the delivery of legal research and information.
    2. You acknowledge that this information does not constitute legal advice nor should it be relied upon as such by you, any of your Users or any third party you share it with.
    3. You agree that you will ensure that any information provided by LawY will be reviewed and assessed by a qualified lawyer in the jurisdiction in which you practice before being used in the delivery of legal advice.
  8. No Solicitor Client Relationship. Your use of LawY or any information provided by or through LawY is not intended to create or does create a solicitor-client relationship between you and us.
  9. Warranties. You acknowledge and agree that LawY is provided to you on an “as is” basis and may contain errors or may not otherwise be free from defects. You acknowledge that your use of LawY is entirely voluntary and at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any and all warranties in regards to LawY including, but not limited to, warranties regarding merchantability, fitness for purpose, availability, and completeness or accuracy of information contained in LawY. Verification of an answer by LawY indicates it has been assessed for errors by a qualified lawyer but does not constitute a warranty as to the accuracy or fitness for purpose of an answer.
  10. Termination.
    1. These Terms will terminate automatically on the expiry or termination of your LPM Partner Subscription (whichever occurs first).
    2. We may terminate these Terms at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to you. Terminating these Terms will not have any effect on your existing agreements with your applicable LPM Partner.
  11. Responsibilities. As a user of LawY, you have the following responsibilities:
    1. Where applicable, you will allow your applicable LPM Partner to install new versions of LawY in your IT environment;
    2. You must not submit any harmful or malicious code to LawY;
    3. You agree not to use LawY, or permit any other person to use LawY, other than as set out in these Terms; and
    4. You agree, where applicable, to pay the relevant fees and any applicable taxes as set out in an invoice for the LawY service subject to and in accordance with Clause 5(d).
  12. Intellectual Property.
    1. To the extent applicable, we retain all right, title, and interest in LawY. Except as expressly permitted, these Terms do not confer any intellectual property rights in LawY or any of its components protected by copyright or other laws on you or any other person.
    2. You indemnify and hold us harmless for any loss, damage, or costs associated with a third-party claim related to your breach of our or any third-party’s intellectual property rights.
    3. You acknowledge that we may use any Queries submitted by you through LawY for the purpose of delivering and improving LawY and associated services. You assign to us all Intellectual Property Rights in your Queries so that we are the sole and exclusive holder of all present and future rights in the Queries. To the extent we require you to execute any formal documents required to give effect to such an assignment, you agree to do so.
  13. Privacy. LawY involves the use of third-party services, and you acknowledge and agree that we may transfer any information automatically collected by LawY, submitted in a Query or otherwise through LawY with third parties. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy. Excluding information automatically collected by LawY, we expressly prohibit the inclusion of personally identifiable information such as names, contact information, or other characteristics that identify or relate to an identifiable individual in Queries. Any inclusion of personally identifiable information in a Query may result in suspension or termination of your account under Clause 6 above.
  14. Indemnity. You indemnify and hold us harmless for any costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred in relation to your use of LawY.
  15. Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or any third party for any costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred in relation to your use of LawY howsoever arising. In no circumstances will we be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity or loss or damage to data. To the extent permissible by applicable law, our aggregate liability, for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount of fees paid, if any, by you directly to LawY under these Terms in the six (6) months immediately preceding the date on which the claim arose.
  16. No Agency. Nothing in these Terms will create or imply an agency, employment, partnership or joint venture relationship between you and us.
  17. No Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach or default in any terms in these Terms will not be a waiver of any other breach of the same or other provisions; nor will any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise any right that it has or may have, operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the other party.
  18. Amendments. We may amend these Terms by notice on our website or by e-mail to you at any time. Your continued use of LawY following any amendment of the Terms will mean you accept the amendments.
  19. Applicable Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
  20. Entire Agreement. These Terms sets out the entire agreement relating to your use of LawY and supersede all prior agreements, discussions, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to LawY.
