Professional disclaimers

Nothing in the service, on this website or in any assistant output is legal, tax, financial or other professional advice, and using it does not create a lawyer-client relationship between us and you, or between us and your clients. If you are not a licensed professional, you should take advice from one. Rules, templates, calculations, checklists and sources are provided to support professional work. They may be incomplete or out of date.

Legal rules in the service, such as workflow gates, limitation periods or duty schedules, are recorded with their source, effective dates and a named reviewer, and can be changed by authorised people at your practice. We do not warrant that any rule, form, template or sample is correct, complete or current for your matter, or that it reflects every amendment, regulation, practice note or court decision. Check the primary source. If you are unsure, do not rely on the service. Rules marked unverified have not been checked by a person.

The signing feature creates a simple electronic signature with a record of who signed, when and from where, and a certificate of completion. A simple electronic signature is not a qualified or advanced electronic signature. Whether it is accepted for a particular instrument depends on the law that governs that instrument, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2014 of Botswana and, where relevant, the EU eIDAS Regulation and UK law. Deeds, documents that must be registered, wills and other documents with prescribed execution formalities may not be capable of being signed this way. The responsible lawyer must decide.

Duty, fee, interest, collection, limitation and ledger figures are computed from the inputs and rules entered. A wrong input or an out-of-date rule gives a wrong result. Have figures checked before you advise a client or pay money. Invoices and tax treatment, including VAT, are your responsibility.

The ledger supports trust accounting controls such as separation of trust and operating money, two-person approval and reconciliation. It does not replace your obligations under the rules that govern trust accounts, or your duty to keep proper records and have them audited as the law and your professional body require.

The service helps you record identity checks, risk ratings, screenings, obligations and internal reports. It does not decide that a person is clear, does not file reports with authorities, and does not guarantee that a check will detect every risk. Your practice is responsible for its anti-money-laundering programme and for meeting its reporting duties.

The recoveries tools help you prepare and track collection steps. Whether a debt is enforceable, whether it has prescribed, which communications are permitted and when, and what a letter may say are matters of law and professional rules that you must determine. The service's checks, such as cooling-off periods and limitation reminders, are aids and may be wrong or incomplete.

Sources, documents and links added by your practice or others are not ours. We are not responsible for their accuracy, legality or availability.

We do not guarantee any outcome in a transaction, a registry lodgement, a filing, a collection or a dispute. We do not guarantee that the service will detect every error, risk or deadline.

Using a cloud service or an AI feature does not of itself waive legal professional privilege, but practices should take their own advice and follow their professional rules about where client information may be stored and processed.

The limits and exclusions of liability in the Terms of Service apply to these disclaimers. Nothing here excludes liability that the law does not allow us to exclude.
