Terms of Service

Eligibility and lawful use

Services are available to businesses, legal representatives, and authorized agents operating lawfully in their jurisdictions. By contracting with CodeRLegal you confirm authority to bind the relevant legal entity and to submit necessary information for legal services.

Users must be of legal age to enter into contracts in their jurisdiction or act through an authorized legal representative capable of forming binding agreements on behalf of the customer entity.

Services must be used for lawful purposes only. You must not use our services to facilitate unlawful activity, infringe third-party rights, or engage in fraudulent conduct. CodeRLegal reserves the right to decline or terminate services when lawful concerns arise.

Availability of specific services may vary by jurisdiction due to local regulatory or licensing requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure the requested services comply with local laws where you operate.

Account obligations

When you register for an account or engage CodeRLegal for a project, you are responsible for maintaining accurate account information and for all activity that occurs under your credentials. Prompt updates to contact and billing data help ensure continuity of service.

Provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or submitting matters for legal review. Failure to provide truthful information may affect our ability to provide appropriate legal guidance.

Protect account credentials and restrict access to authorized personnel. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. We will assist with account recovery measures but are not liable for losses resulting from compromised credentials due to user negligence.

Accounts, subscriptions, or service rights are non-transferable without prior written consent from CodeRLegal. Assignment without consent may be deemed a material breach.

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support immediately at [email protected]. Include relevant details to help us assess and contain the incident.

We may suspend access to services where necessary to protect clients, comply with legal obligations, or address breaches. Suspension may occur without prior notice if urgent security or compliance concerns arise.

Services and deliverables

CodeRLegal provides legal advisory, contract drafting, compliance reviews, IP advisory, and related services tailored for IT businesses. Deliverables and scope are defined in engagement letters or project statements. Professional standards and ethical obligations guide all work.

Service scope may be amended by mutual written agreement. We retain the right to change certain non-essential features of our offering; material changes to core service delivery will be communicated in advance where practicable.

While we strive for reliable service delivery, availability may be affected by operational factors such as staffing, platform maintenance, or third-party dependencies. Project timelines are estimates and may be adjusted for reasonable cause.

Acceptable use rules

When using our services or platforms, you agree not to engage in prohibited activities that could harm CodeRLegal, its clients, or third parties. Prohibited activities include the following examples.

• Submitting unlawful or fraudulent content or instructions that facilitate illegal conduct.
• Attempting to breach security, impersonate another individual, or gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
• Uploading content that infringes intellectual property rights or violates privacy of others.
• Interfering with service operations, including denial-of-service attacks or other disruptive behavior.
• Misusing billing, trial, or promotional programs to obtain services under false pretenses.
• Attempting to decompile or reverse engineer proprietary deliverables provided by CodeRLegal without explicit authorization.
• Circumventing service restrictions or using automated means to scrape confidential materials.

Client content and responsibilities

Client content includes data, materials, and documents you provide to CodeRLegal for the purpose of receiving services. You retain responsibility for the accuracy and lawfulness of such content.

You retain ownership of client content you submit. Except as necessary to provide services, CodeRLegal acquires no ownership rights in your content.

By submitting client content you grant CodeRLegal a limited, non-exclusive license to use, copy, and process the content solely for the purpose of delivering the contracted services and for internal quality assurance.

You are responsible for obtaining any required consents or licenses for third-party content included in your submissions and for ensuring content does not infringe third-party rights.

Requests for removal of client content should be made in writing. Removal may be subject to legal retention obligations and may not be immediate if the content is necessary for ongoing matters or dispute resolution.

Intellectual property

CodeRLegal and its licensors retain ownership of all intellectual property in methodologies, templates, software, and materials developed prior to or independently of client engagements. Client-specific deliverables and licensed materials will be addressed in the engagement agreement.

• You may not reproduce, distribute, or adapt our proprietary templates or tools outside permitted use under the engagement agreement.
• Reverse engineering or attempts to extract proprietary algorithms or processes from our deliverables is prohibited.
• Use of CodeRLegal branding, logos, or activity requires prior written permission, except as permitted for referencing engagement.

Paid services, fees and billing

Paid services are provided under the terms set forth in the engagement letter, statement of work, or subscription plan. Fees reflect the scope, complexity, and estimated effort required.

Pricing is based on the agreed fee structure and may include hourly rates, fixed project fees, or subscription charges. Estimates provided are for planning and may be revised for scope changes.

Invoices are payable in accordance with the payment terms specified in the engagement agreement. Accepted payment methods will be specified on invoices or in the engagement documentation.

Subscription services are billed periodically as described in the subscription agreement. Renewals occur automatically unless canceled in accordance with the cancellation policy.

Refunds for paid services are considered on a case-by-case basis and depend on the nature of the service delivered and applicable contractual terms. Where partial refunds are appropriate, they will be calculated reasonably based on work performed.

Cancellation rights and procedures are set out in the engagement documentation. Fees for services performed prior to cancellation remain payable and certain pre-paid fees may be non-refundable when work has commenced.

Clients are responsible for any taxes arising from payments for services, excluding taxes based on CodeRLegal’s net revenue. Where required, taxes will be itemized on invoices.

We may adjust pricing for new engagements or renewals to reflect changes in scope, market conditions, or regulatory obligations. Existing locked-in rates will remain in effect for the agreed term unless otherwise specified.

Non-payment may result in suspension of services, withholding of deliverables, or termination as provided in the engagement agreement. Interest or collection costs may apply as permitted by law.

Disclaimers

Legal information and advisory provided by CodeRLegal are tailored to client instructions and the facts presented. Advice is based on prevailing law and available information at the time of delivery. Outcomes depend on multiple factors and are not assured.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CodeRLegal’s liability for direct damages arising from our services is limited to fees paid for the specific engagement during which the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of benefits, or loss of business opportunity.

Third-party services and integrations

Third-party providers used to support services (hosting, payment processors, or external counsel) are independent contractors. You consent to necessary data sharing with third parties to deliver services and accept their terms where applicable.

Termination and suspension

Either party may terminate the engagement in accordance with the termination provisions set out in the engagement agreement. Termination does not relieve either party of obligations accrued prior to termination.

Upon termination, outstanding fees and expenses become due. We will provide reasonable assistance in transitioning matters to another provider subject to settlement of outstanding invoices and any applicable transition fees.

Privacy and data protection

Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy available at CodeRLegal.digital/privacy. We process data for service delivery, compliance, billing, and legitimate business interests, and implement appropriate security measures.

Communications and notices

Official notices under these terms should be sent by email to [email protected] or by mail to our registered address. Electronic communications to the account contact are effective when sent to the verified address on file.

Changes to terms

We may update these Terms of Service to reflect legal or operational changes. Material changes will be communicated in advance for existing clients where feasible. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the substantive law of Switzerland, excluding its conflict of law rules. Applicable mandatory local law where you are established may provide additional rights that are preserved.

Dispute resolution

Parties should first seek to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiations. If unresolved, disputes arising under these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Lucerne, Switzerland, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
