Terms Of Services

To use the Platform, you must be of legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under the laws of your jurisdiction. You must not be prohibited from using the Platform under any applicable law.

To register as a lawyer or law firm on the Platform, you must be a qualified legal practitioner who has been duly called to the Bar in your jurisdiction. TLS requires submission of your Call to Bar certificate and completion of a liveness check as part of the registration process. By registering as a lawyer, you represent and warrant that the credentials you submit are genuine, current, and accurately reflect your professional standing.

Clients must be individuals of legal capacity seeking legal information or services. By registering as a client, you represent that you are an adult capable of entering into legal agreements.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide during registration and throughout your use of the Platform is true, accurate, current, and complete. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes. TLS reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account where information is found to be false, misleading, or incomplete.

You may create an account on TLS using an email address and password or through Google Sign-In. Where required, you will complete OTP verification and email verification before gaining full access to the Platform. Each individual or entity may hold only one active account on the Platform.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must not share your credentials with any other person. You agree to notify TLS immediately at thelegalspace01@gmail.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any security breach affecting your credentials. TLS will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.

TLS offers three account types: Lawyer, Law Firm, and Client. Each account type has its own permissions, features, and verification requirements. You must register under the account type that accurately reflects your identity and intended use of the Platform.

TLS offers membership plans that unlock additional features on the Platform. The features available under each membership tier are described on the Platform and are subject to change. Law firms may add up to seven member lawyers under a single firm account.

All payments on the Platform are processed through Paystack, our third-party payment processor. By making a payment on the Platform, you agree to Paystack's terms and conditions. TLS does not store your card details. All financial transactions are subject to the terms imposed by Paystack.

Membership fees are as published on the Platform from time to time. Unless otherwise stated, memberships are recurring and will renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle. It is your responsibility to manage your subscription, including cancellation, through your account settings before the renewal date.

All membership payments are non-refundable. Once a membership payment has been processed, TLS will not issue a refund for any reason, including early cancellation, non-use, or dissatisfaction with the Platform. By subscribing to a membership, you acknowledge and accept this policy.

TLS charges a fee for the publication of events on the Platform. Event publication fees are non-refundable once an event has been published. However, where TLS is unable to verify the legitimacy of an event or has reasonable grounds to doubt the accuracy or appropriateness of an event submission, TLS will contact the event organiser directly. Where a resolution cannot be reached and the event is not published, a refund will be issued. TLS's determination in such matters is final.

TLS reserves the right to modify its pricing at any time. Where a price change affects an existing subscription, we will provide reasonable advance notice through the Platform or by email. Your continued use of the Platform following such notice constitutes your acceptance of the revised pricing.

TLS provides an AI-powered matching feature that enables clients to describe their legal issue and receive a recommendation of lawyers on the Platform best suited to assist them. The matching system draws on publicly available data and the professional profiles of lawyers who hold an active Professional Membership. Clients do not have the ability to directly browse all lawyer profiles or initiate direct contact with a lawyer outside of the matching process.

The AI matching feature is an assistive tool only. TLS does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any match. The final decision to engage any lawyer rests entirely with the client, and any engagement is a matter solely between the client and the lawyer.

Once a client has been matched with a lawyer through the AI matching feature, the Platform enables direct messaging between the two parties. Users may send text messages, documents, images, PDFs, and other files through the messaging feature. You are solely responsible for the content of any messages you send and any files you share. TLS is not a party to any communication between a lawyer and a client and does not monitor message content except where required for safety, security, or legal compliance purposes.

The TLS community allows users to create posts, follow lawyers, report content, and engage with the professional legal community on the Platform. Certain community features are available only to users with an active Professional Membership. Community participation is subject to the conduct standards set out in Section 8 of these Terms.

You may use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree to use the Platform in a manner consistent with its intended purpose as a legal technology and professional networking platform.

You retain full ownership of all Content you upload, post, or share on the Platform. By submitting Content to the Platform, you grant TLS a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, store, and distribute that Content on the Platform for the purpose of operating and delivering the Platform's features to you and other users. This licence exists only for as long as your account remains active. Upon deletion of your account, TLS's right to display your Content will cease, subject to any retention obligations described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to the Content you submit and that your Content does not infringe the rights of any third party.

All intellectual property on the Platform that is not User Content — including but not limited to the TLS name, logo, branding, design, software, technology, and written materials — is owned by or licensed to TLS and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use TLS's intellectual property for any purpose outside of your use of the Platform.

If you provide TLS with feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Platform, you grant TLS the right to use that feedback for any purpose without any obligation to compensate you.

TLS is a technology platform. Nothing on the Platform — including any content generated by the AI matching feature, any lawyer profiles, or any community posts — constitutes legal advice. The AI matching feature provides recommendations based on professional profile data and publicly available information; it is not a substitute for qualified legal counsel. Any legal advice you receive is provided by the individual lawyer you engage and is entirely their professional responsibility.

TLS does not endorse, recommend, or vouch for the competence, quality, or suitability of any lawyer or law firm listed on the Platform. Verification of credentials confirms that a lawyer has been called to the Bar; it does not assess their skill, experience, or fitness for any specific legal matter.

TLS provides the Platform on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the Platform as a whole at any time, with or without notice.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TLS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform, including damages for loss of data, loss of revenue, or loss of business opportunity, even if TLS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. TLS's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform shall not exceed the amount you have paid to TLS in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You may delete your account at any time from within the application. Deletion of your account will terminate your access to the Platform. Membership fees already paid will not be refunded upon voluntary termination.

TLS reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, with or without prior notice, where:

• You have submitted spam, repeated unsolicited requests, or have demonstrated a pattern of cancelling in bad faith that disrupts the Platform or other users.
• You have been the subject of multiple verified reports from other users regarding your conduct on the Platform.
• You have submitted false, forged, or misleading credentials during or after the verification process.
• You have violated any provision of these Terms or any applicable law.
• TLS determines in its reasonable discretion that your continued presence on the Platform poses a risk to other users, the Platform's integrity, or TLS's reputation.

Where possible and where circumstances permit, TLS will notify you of the grounds for suspension or termination. However, TLS is not obligated to provide advance notice where the breach is serious, where there is a risk of harm, or where doing so would be contrary to applicable law.

Upon termination of your account, your right to access and use the Platform ceases immediately. TLS may retain certain data following termination in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal obligations.
