End User Licence Agreement

1. Grant of Licence

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and conditional upon the warranties in Clause 15 (Export Control and Sanctions) being and remaining true, Legal Hi Tech Limited grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to download, install, and use the Software solely for your own or your firm's internal legal practice purposes, strictly in accordance with the conditions set out in this Agreement.

This licence does not include the right to sub-licence, resell, or make the Software available to any third party.

2. Licence Restrictions

You agree not to, and you will not permit others to:

• Licence, sell, rent, lease, assign, distribute, transmit, host, outsource, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit the Software or make it available to any third party.
• Modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, decrypt, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Software, except to the extent that the licence of a third-party component described in Clause 12 permits you to do so in respect of that component.
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notice (including any notice of copyright or trademark) of Legal Hi Tech Limited or its affiliates, partners, or suppliers.
• Use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement.
• Download, install, use, export, re-export, transfer or otherwise make available the Software or any licence key in contravention of any sanctions or export control law, as further set out in Clause 15.

3. Device Restriction

The licence granted under this Agreement is strictly limited to the installation and use of the Software on one (1) single computer within your firm, unless you are explicitly authorised in writing by Legal Hi Tech Limited to use it on more than one computer. Installation, deployment, or use of the Software on multiple computers, shared networks, or by unauthorised third parties without such authorisation is expressly prohibited. For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction does not prevent you from moving your licence from one computer to another at any time from within the app.

If you wish to install the Software on additional computers within your firm, please contact us to obtain the appropriate multi-device licence.

To enforce this restriction, the Software generates an identifier derived from your computer's hardware and transmits it to our licence server on activation and periodic verification. No other information about your computer or its contents is transmitted.

4. Jurisdictional Restriction

You are authorised to use the Software primarily within the jurisdiction or jurisdictions that you declared at the time of purchasing, downloading, or registering the Software. Operating the Software predominantly or exclusively outside of your authorised jurisdiction constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

Should your firm relocate, expand, or require the Software to be used in a different or additional jurisdiction, you must contact Legal Hi Tech Limited in advance to request a formal amendment to your licence. We will endeavour to accommodate such requests at a reasonable additional charge where applicable.

This Clause is concerned only with the scope of your licence. It is separate from, and in no way limits, Clause 15 (Export Control and Sanctions), which prohibits any download, registration or use that would contravene sanctions law wherever in the world you are.

5. Intellectual Property

Save for the third-party components described in Clause 12, which remain the property of their respective owners, the Software, including without limitation all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Legal Hi Tech Limited. This Agreement does not transfer to you any ownership of or title to the Software or any intellectual property rights contained therein.

6. Updates and New Versions

Legal Hi Tech Limited may from time to time release updates, patches, or new versions of the Software. Where updates are made available to you during an active subscription period, they are covered by this Agreement unless a separate licence agreement is presented at the time of update.

Legal Hi Tech Limited reserves the right to modify, add, or remove features of the Software at any time. We will endeavour to provide reasonable advance notice of any material adverse changes to functionality where practicable.

Optional Modules. Legal Hi Tech Limited may from time to time make available optional modules, extensions or add-on features (each an "Optional Module"). An Optional Module is not an update, patch or new version for the purposes of this Clause 6, and is not included in your subscription fee. Each Optional Module is offered separately, for a separate or additional fee, and will be supplied to you only if you expressly choose to acquire it. An Optional Module is accessible only from within the Software and requires a current and valid licence; if this Agreement terminates or your licence expires, your access to any Optional Module ceases at the same time.

Once acquired, an Optional Module forms part of the Software for all purposes of this Agreement, save that it continues to be charged separately notwithstanding that it forms part of the Software. This Agreement governs your use of every Optional Module. Legal Hi Tech Limited may, but is not obliged to, present supplemental terms in respect of a particular Optional Module at the time you acquire it; where supplemental terms are so presented and accepted, they apply in addition to this Agreement and, to the extent of any inconsistency, prevail over it in respect of that Optional Module only. Where no supplemental terms are presented, this Agreement applies to that Optional Module without modification.

Your decision not to acquire an Optional Module will not affect your continued use of the Software as otherwise licensed to you. No feature that is included in the Software without separate charge at the commencement of your then-current subscription period will be withdrawn from it and made available only as a paid Optional Module during that period.

7. Subscription and Payment

Access to the Software may be provided on a free or paid subscription basis, as specified at the time of registration or purchase.

• Paid subscriptions are billed annually in advance. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in writing at least 14 days before the renewal date.
• Payment must be made in accordance with the payment terms presented at the time of purchase. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in suspension or termination of your licence. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice where circumstances permit, but are not obliged to do so.
• Refunds are not available for annual subscriptions once the licence period has commenced, except where required by applicable law.
• Early Access, free, beta, and freemium versions are provided at no charge and may be subject to feature limitations or time restrictions as notified by Legal Hi Tech Limited.
• Time and dates. All licence periods, expiry dates, renewal dates and notice periods referred to in this Agreement are determined by reference to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). A licence stated to be valid until a given date expires at 23:59:59 UTC on that date, irrespective of your local time zone. Where your local time is ahead of UTC, your licence will therefore expire during your following calendar day.
• Price changes will be notified to you at least 30 days before the next renewal date. Continued use of the Software after the renewal date constitutes acceptance of the revised pricing.
• Renewal reminders. We will notify you by email at least 30 days before each automatic renewal, stating the renewal date and the amount that will be charged.
• Optional Modules (as described in Clause 6) are charged separately from, and in addition to, your subscription fee. The price, billing frequency and any supplemental terms for an Optional Module will be presented to you before you acquire it, and no charge will be made unless you expressly accept them. The fee for an Optional Module does not vary your subscription fee for the Software. Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, an Optional Module runs co-terminously with your subscription for the Software and renews with it.

Consumers. Where you acquire a licence as an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession, you are a consumer, and the following apply in addition to, and where inconsistent in place of, the terms set out above in this Clause 7:

• You may cancel a paid subscription at any time before the renewal date by any clear statement of your intention to cancel, including by email. No particular form of notice is required, and the 14-day written notice requirement does not apply to you.
• Where a price increase is to take effect on renewal, you may cancel at any time before that renewal date and will not be charged the increased amount.
• Nothing in this Agreement affects your statutory rights, including any right to cancel a distance contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and your rights in respect of digital content under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
• No Optional Module will be added to your subscription, and no additional payment will be taken, without your express consent given at the time.

8. Termination

This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated by you or by Legal Hi Tech Limited.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing all use of the Software and deleting all copies from your devices. Termination by you does not entitle you to any refund of subscription fees already paid.

Legal Hi Tech Limited may terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice if you fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Legal Hi Tech Limited may also terminate or suspend this Agreement on 30 days' written notice without cause in the case of paid subscriptions, in which case a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the subscription period will be provided.

In addition, Legal Hi Tech Limited may deactivate a licence key and terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice in the circumstances set out in Clause 15.4 (Export Control and Sanctions).

Upon termination for any reason, you shall immediately cease all use of the Software and permanently delete all copies from your devices.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided to you on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and defects, and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Legal Hi Tech Limited expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, with respect to the Software, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Legal Hi Tech Limited does not warrant that the Software will operate without interruption or error, that defects will be corrected, or that the Software or its third-party components are free from vulnerabilities or unexpected interactions with your system environment.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• In the case of paid subscriptions, the total aggregate liability of Legal Hi Tech Limited to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall not exceed an amount equal to the fees paid by you to Legal Hi Tech Limited in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
• In the case of free, Early Access, beta, or freemium versions, the liability of Legal Hi Tech Limited is wholly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
• In no event shall Legal Hi Tech Limited be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss or damage, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
• You should always thoroughly check any output file generated by the Software before using or relying on it in any legal or professional context.
• Where the Software is used to download from or otherwise interact with any court e-filing portal, you remain solely and exclusively responsible for verifying that the download is complete, each downloaded document accurately reflects the name and date, the job was correctly done by the software, and that it complies with all applicable laws including access to the filing portal through the software. The Software does not relieve you of any professional, regulatory, curial or legal obligation. Legal Hi Tech Limited accepts no liability for any failed or inaccurate or incomplete download and naming of the downloaded files, or for any consequence arising from it and from access to the e-filing portal through the software.
• Where an Optional Module provides any facility intended to exclude a window, document or page from screen sharing, screen capture or screen recording, that facility depends on features of your operating system and of the conferencing, recording or presentation software then in use, over which Legal Hi Tech Limited has no control. It is not a guarantee of confidentiality and must not be relied upon as one. In particular, it does not prevent capture by a camera, an external capture device, a second display, or any recording made by the court or tribunal. You remain solely responsible for what is displayed or shared, for compliance with any direction of the court or tribunal, and for the protection of privileged or confidential material. Legal Hi Tech Limited accepts no liability for any disclosure, however caused.

11. Data Protection and Privacy

Legal Hi Tech Limited is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

• Credentials and case data entered into the Software (including e-filing portal login credentials and case information) are stored locally on your device only. This data is not transmitted to or accessed by Legal Hi Tech Limited. The Software does not transmit the contents of your documents to Legal Hi Tech Limited or to any third party, save where you yourself direct it to do so. Where an Optional Module you have chosen to acquire involves any transmission of data, the nature and extent of that transmission will be set out in the privacy notice on this website before you acquire it.
• Registration data provided when purchasing, downloading, or registering the Software (such as your name, firm name, email address, and jurisdiction) is processed by Legal Hi Tech Limited for the purposes of pricing, licence administration, support, and product communications.
• Sanctions screening. Registration data is also screened against the UK Sanctions List and other lists maintained under sanctions and export control law, and is retained for that purpose, as set out in Clause 15. Where disclosure to a competent authority is required by law, your rights of notification and access may be restricted to the extent permitted by the Data Protection Act 2018.
• You may exercise your rights under UK GDPR — including access, rectification, erasure, and objection — by contacting us at the address below.

Full details of how we collect, use, and protect your personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of our relationship with you.

12. Third Party Components

The Software incorporates certain open-source and third-party components, including Tesseract OCR, its dependency Leptonica, Playwright and the Chromium-based browser supplied with it, and the Python runtime and libraries on which the Software is built. These components are subject to their own respective licence terms, which are unaffected by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, including Clause 2, restricts any right that the licence of such a component gives you in respect of that component. Legal Hi Tech Limited acknowledges the contributions of these open-source projects.

Tesseract OCR and Leptonica are bundled with the installation. Tesseract OCR is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and Leptonica under its own BSD-style licence. Any additional OCR language data you choose to download is obtained from the Tesseract project and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. A list of the third-party components included with the Software, with their licence texts and notices, is provided in the file THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt in the installation folder (on macOS, inside the application bundle), and is available from us on request. Feature availability, including bundled components, may vary by platform.

Components you install yourself. Certain optional functions of the Software call programs that are neither supplied nor distributed by Legal Hi Tech Limited, and which you obtain and install separately under their own licence terms. In particular, conversion of Word documents to PDF uses Microsoft Word, WPS Office (on Windows) or LibreOffice, depending on which you have installed, each under its own licence terms. Legal Hi Tech Limited does not distribute, bundle, incorporate, modify or create any derivative work of those programs; where you have installed them, the Software invokes them through the operating system as separate executable programs. Your use of them is governed solely by their own licence terms, and the corresponding functions of the Software are unavailable until you install them. Logging in to a court e-filing portal from inside the Software likewise uses Google Chrome or, where Chrome is not installed, Microsoft Edge, neither of which is supplied by Legal Hi Tech Limited.

Your use of any third-party services accessed through the Software (including court e-filing portals) is additionally governed by the terms and conditions of those respective services.

13. Amendments to This Agreement

Legal Hi Tech Limited reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time. Registered users will be notified of any material amendments at least 30 days before the amended Agreement takes effect, by email to the address provided at registration or by a notice within the Software.

Your continued use of the Software after the effective date of an amended Agreement constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept the revised terms, you must cease using the Software before the effective date of the amendment.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation.

15. Export Control and Sanctions

In this Clause 15: "Sanctions Laws" means any trade, economic or financial sanctions, export controls, embargoes or restrictive measures administered, enacted or enforced from time to time by the United Kingdom (including under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and any regulations made under it), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or any of its Member States, or the United States of America (including by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury); "Designated Person" means any person or entity that is the target of Sanctions Laws, including any person named on the UK Sanctions List or on any comparable list maintained under any other Sanctions Laws, together with any person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, such a person; and "Restricted Territory" means any country or territory that is itself the subject of comprehensive or territorial Sanctions Laws.

15.1 Your warranty. You represent, warrant and undertake that, at the time of each download, installation, registration, activation and renewal of the Software, and continuously throughout the term of this Agreement:

• neither you, nor your firm, nor any partner, member, director, owner or person controlling your firm, nor any person who will use the Software under your licence, is a Designated Person;
• you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, organised under the laws of, or downloading, registering or using the Software from or within a Restricted Territory;
• you are not acting, directly or indirectly, for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of a Designated Person or of any person in a Restricted Territory; and
• your download, registration, installation and use of the Software does not and will not contravene any Sanctions Laws.

15.2 Prohibited conduct. You must not download, install, register, activate, use, export, re-export, transfer, sub-licence or otherwise make available the Software or any licence key, directly or indirectly, in any manner that would contravene Sanctions Laws, or to or for the benefit of any Designated Person or any person in a Restricted Territory.

15.3 No authorisation; licence void. Nothing done by Legal Hi Tech Limited authorises any download, registration, activation or use of the Software that would contravene Sanctions Laws. Any licence purportedly granted to a person in breach of Clause 15.1 is void from the outset, and no licence shall be taken ever to have been granted to that person, whether or not a download link or licence key was in fact issued and whether or not the Software was in fact installed or used. Any such download, installation or use is unauthorised, and Legal Hi Tech Limited reserves all rights and remedies in respect of it, including in copyright.

15.4 Immediate deactivation. Where Legal Hi Tech Limited becomes aware, or has reasonable cause to suspect, that any warranty in Clause 15.1 is or has become untrue in any respect, or that a licence key has been obtained or is being held or used in contravention of Sanctions Laws, Legal Hi Tech Limited may, immediately and without prior notice:

• deactivate, suspend or revoke the licence key and any associated registration;
• refuse to issue, reissue or transfer any licence key;
• withhold downloads, updates and support; and
• terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.

No refund of any kind is payable in those circumstances, and Legal Hi Tech Limited shall have no liability to you or to any third party for any loss, cost, expense, delay or disruption arising from any action taken under this Clause 15.4. Where the making of a refund or payment, or the giving of any notice or explanation, would itself contravene Sanctions Laws or prejudice an investigation, it will not be made or given.

15.5 Your duty to notify. You must notify Legal Hi Tech Limited immediately in writing if any warranty in Clause 15.1 ceases to be true, or if you become aware that the Software or any licence key issued to you is or may be held or used in contravention of Sanctions Laws.

15.6 Screening and disclosure. You acknowledge and agree that Legal Hi Tech Limited may screen the registration details you provide, and any other information reasonably available to it, against the UK Sanctions List and other lists maintained under Sanctions Laws; may refuse, delay or make conditional the issue of any licence key pending that screening; and may disclose your details to the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation or to any other competent authority, court or regulator, in each case without notifying you where notification is prohibited by law or would prejudice an investigation.

15.7 Indemnity. You shall indemnify Legal Hi Tech Limited against all losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) suffered or incurred by it arising out of or in connection with any breach by you of this Clause 15.

15.8 Survival. This Clause 15 survives termination or expiry of this Agreement, and continues to apply notwithstanding any determination that a licence was void under Clause 15.3.

16. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision shall be deemed deleted. Any such modification or deletion shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

17. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with our Privacy Policy and any order confirmation or subscription documentation provided to you, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Legal Hi Tech Limited with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, with respect to the Software.

No failure or delay by Legal Hi Tech Limited in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
