1. Nature of the pre-release
The LawFuze platform is an active test environment during the pre-release period. Features may change, break or be withdrawn without notice. We will tell you what is changing in advance where we can. Data you put in is protected the same way as in production, but availability targets are not the production SLAs.
2. Fees during pre-release
Pre-release access is a paid subscription. Early-access firms pay their published tier price less 30%, invoiced quarterly by bank transfer — no card is taken and no auto-renewal is set up against a stored payment method. The early-access price is locked until 12 months after public launch (1 September 2026). You may cancel at the end of any invoiced quarter, and a 14-day cooling-off right applies from signature under UK distance-selling rules. Card-based self-serve billing (Stripe) arrives at public launch.
3. Solicitor supervisor responsibility
LawFuze is a technology platform, not a law firm. AI outputs are research and drafting support; they are not legal advice. Every action you take using LawFuze remains the responsibility of the supervising solicitor on each matter under the SRA Standards and Regulations and the SRA Code of Conduct. You retain professional judgment on every output before it reaches a client.
4. Scope of case-law features in pre-release
UK case-law search in the pre-release runs as per-query federated lookupsof judgments published by The National Archives' Find Case Law service, used under the Open Justice licence terms — results link out to the official record and no judgment text is bulk-stored. Deeper semantic research over judgment text activates only once our Computational Analysis Licence is granted (expected around public launch). As with every AI output, verify citations against the linked official source before relying on them in client work.
5. Confidentiality & client data
You may upload real client data subject to your own client engagement terms and your SRA confidentiality duties. LawFuze processes that data under our Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement available at /dpa. We do not train any AI on customer data. Per-firm tenant isolation is enforced at the database and search index level.
6. Feedback licence
If you give us feedback, bug reports or feature requests you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable licence to use that feedback to improve the product. We will not identify you publicly without written consent.
7. Cancellation & data export
You may cancel pre-release participation effective at the end of any invoiced quarter, on 14 days' notice, by emailing legal@lawfuze.com. We will export your data in JSON + ZIP within 30 days under UK GDPR Article 15 and erase it within 30 days of cancellation under UK GDPR Article 17 (excluding records we are legally required to retain, such as immutable audit-log entries for 6 years under SRA guidance).
8. Liability during beta
Aggregate liability of LawFuze AI Systems Limited to a early-access firm is capped at the fees that firm has paid to LawFuze in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This reflects the pre-release environment status in clause 1. The cap does not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law (death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under UK law).
9. Governing law & jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
10. Signing
