PART I — LEGAL DISCLAIMER
1. NOT A LAW FIRM — NO LEGAL ADVICE
1.1 Platform Identity
Legalica OÜ ("Legalica") operates an AI-powered software platform. LEGALICA IS NOT A LAW FIRM. NONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES ACT AS ATTORNEYS, BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, ADVOCATES, OR LEGAL ADVISORS FOR USERS.
1.2 No Legal Advice
THE PLATFORM AND ALL AI-GENERATED OUTPUT — INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LEGAL ANALYSIS, DOCUMENT DRAFTS, RISK ASSESSMENTS, UBO DETERMINATIONS, KYC REPORTS, COMPLIANCE EVALUATIONS, STATUTORY CITATIONS, AND MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL COMPARISONS — DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE, LEGAL OPINIONS, OR LEGAL SERVICES.
All AI Output is generated by artificial intelligence systems and is provided for informational, educational, and analytical purposes only. It should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal advice from a qualified attorney licensed to practice in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
1.3 Not a Substitute for Counsel
The use of the Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship or any similar fiduciary relationship. IF YOU REQUIRE LEGAL ADVICE, YOU MUST CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED LEGAL PROFESSIONAL LICENSED IN YOUR JURISDICTION.
1.4 No Legal Representation
Legalica does not represent any user in any legal matter, transaction, or dispute. The Platform is a self-service tool requiring users to exercise their own independent professional judgment.
2. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
2.1 No Relationship Created: Your access to and use of the Platform does not create, establish, or imply an attorney-client relationship, lawyer-client relationship, or any similar privileged or confidential relationship between you and Legalica.
2.2 No Privilege Protection: Communications with Legalica — including customer support, feedback, feature requests, and any other interaction — are NOT protected by attorney-client privilege, legal professional privilege, work product doctrine, or any similar privilege or immunity recognized in any of the 324 Supported Jurisdictions.
Do not disclose confidential, privileged, or sensitive client information to Legalica unless strictly necessary for technical support and only after implementing appropriate protective measures.
2.3 Independent Counsel Recommendation: We strongly recommend that all users seek independent legal advice from a licensed attorney before:
- (a) Making any legal, financial, or business decisions based on AI Output;
- (b) Relying on any information provided by the Platform;
- (c) Using any AI-generated documents in legal proceedings or transactions;
- (d) Taking any action that could have legal consequences;
- (e) Providing legal advice to third parties based on AI Output.
3. NO WARRANTY AND AI OUTPUT LIMITATIONS
3.1 No Accuracy Warranty
LEGALICA MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT ANY AI OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
AI systems may generate content that:
- (a) Is factually incorrect — contains factual errors, misstatements of law, or incorrect citations;
- (b) Is incomplete — fails to address all relevant legal issues or considerations;
- (c) Is outdated — does not reflect recent legislative changes, judicial decisions, or regulatory updates;
- (d) Contains "hallucinations" — generates plausible-sounding but entirely fabricated content, including fictitious cases, statutes, legal authorities, or regulatory references;
- (e) Is jurisdictionally inappropriate — fails to account for local variations, exceptions, or specific requirements;
- (f) Omits critical nuances — fails to capture subtle legal distinctions, exceptions, or conflicting authorities;
- (g) Misinterprets foreign law — incorrectly applies or compares laws across different legal traditions (civil law, common law, Islamic law, customary law);
- (h) Contains translation errors — mistranslates or misinterprets legal concepts across the 187+ supported languages.
3.2 Mandatory Independent Verification
ALL AI OUTPUT MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY A QUALIFIED LEGAL PROFESSIONAL LICENSED IN THE RELEVANT JURISDICTION(S) BEFORE BEING RELIED UPON OR USED IN ANY LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR BUSINESS CONTEXT.
Specifically, users must independently verify:
- (a) The accuracy and currency of all legal citations and references;
- (b) The applicability of cited laws, regulations, and cases to the specific facts and jurisdiction;
- (c) The completeness of legal analysis and identification of all relevant issues;
- (d) The suitability of AI-generated documents for the intended purpose and jurisdiction;
- (e) Compliance with all applicable local rules, procedures, and professional conduct requirements;
- (f) The correct interpretation of foreign law in cross-border matters.
3.3 No Liability for Reliance
SUBJECT TO MANDATORY LAW, LEGALICA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR ADVERSE OUTCOME ARISING FROM YOUR RELIANCE ON AI OUTPUT OR YOUR FAILURE TO INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY AI OUTPUT.
This includes, without limitation:
- (a) Adverse judgments or rulings in legal proceedings;
- (b) Financial losses in transactions;
- (c) Regulatory sanctions or penalties;
- (d) Breach of professional duties or ethical obligations;
- (e) Damage to professional reputation;
- (f) Loss of client confidence or business opportunities;
- (g) Any consequential, incidental, or indirect damages.
4. UBO IDENTIFICATION AND RISK CLASSIFICATION LIMITATIONS
4.1 Algorithmic Limitations: The Platform's UBO identification uses algorithmic analysis of publicly available data with significant limitations: (a) Incomplete data — registries may not reflect recent ownership changes, trust arrangements, or nominee structures; (b) Hidden ownership — cannot detect concealed, indirect, or beneficial ownership not publicly disclosed; (c) Threshold assumptions — based on standard regulatory thresholds (typically >25%) and may not capture all influence mechanisms; (d) Jurisdictional variations — UBO definitions and requirements vary significantly; (e) Dynamic risk — classifications based on published lists at a point in time, not current conditions.
4.2 Not a Substitute for Due Diligence: UBO IDENTIFICATIONS AND RISK CLASSIFICATIONS ARE PRELIMINARY AND INDICATIVE ONLY. THEY DO NOT SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL DUE DILIGENCE, LEGAL ADVICE, OR COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT.
4.3 No AML/CFT Determination: Risk classifications do not constitute a determination of money laundering or terrorist financing risk. Such determinations must be made by qualified compliance professionals.
5. PROFESSIONAL USER RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 Duty of Competence: Professional Users (attorneys, barristers, solicitors, advocates) are solely responsible for: (a) evaluating AI Output with independent professional judgment; (b) verifying all AI Output before relying on it or presenting it to clients; (c) complying with all rules of professional conduct in their jurisdiction(s); (d) maintaining technology competence; (e) ensuring client confidentiality; (f) supervising subordinate staff.
5.2 Technology Competence: Many jurisdictions require technology competence. The use of AI tools does not relieve attorneys of their obligation to: (a) understand the capabilities and limitations of the technology; (b) supervise the work product generated by technology; (c) ensure technology use complies with professional ethics rules; (d) maintain client confidentiality.
5.3 Client Disclosure: Professional Users should consider whether to disclose AI tool use to clients. This determination should be made per applicable professional conduct rules and specific circumstances.
6. NON-LAWYER USER RESPONSIBILITIES
6.1 Not a Substitute for Counsel: If you are not a qualified legal professional, do not use the Platform as a substitute for legal advice.
