Document Type: Function Rulebook (Binding) Version: 1.4 Effective Date: 13 May 2026 Document Language: English (Georgian version prevails in case of conflict) Status: Binding contract, incorporated by reference into all applicable Role Terms and Conditions
This Subscriptions & Billing Function Rulebook ("Rulebook") establishes the rules governing subscription enrollment, pricing, billing, renewals, plan changes, refunds, and disputes on the legal.ge platform operated by Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC, Registration Number 405713768 (the "Platform").
This Rulebook is a binding part of the Terms and Conditions of every role permitted to enroll in or be subject to a subscription. By activating, modifying, renewing, paying for, or otherwise interacting with the Subscription system, You agree to be bound by this Rulebook.
In the event of any conflict between this Rulebook and a specific Role Terms and Conditions document, the Role Terms and Conditions prevail with respect to that role's specific obligations not addressed in this Rulebook; this Rulebook prevails on matters of subscription mechanics, billing, and rules common to all roles.
Changes in v1.2: Cross-Rulebook integration with Specializations & Pricing Function Rulebook v1.0. New §1.2.2(g) excluding specialization/pricing/book-from-calendar matters. Cross-reference notes added in §5.1 and §6.1 confirming canonical specialty slot counts referenced by Specializations & Pricing Rulebook §4.3. No operational rules changed; no re-consent required.
Changes in v1.3: Cross-Rulebook integration with Calendar Function Rulebook v1.0. Added 'Calendar Functionality' and 'Google Calendar Integration' rows to Solo Specialist tier matrix (§5.1.1) and Company tier matrix (§6.1.1). Added §1.2.2(h) referencing Calendar Rulebook scope. Calendar Functionality available to Pro/Expert (Solo) and Established/Enterprise (Company); Google Calendar Integration exclusive to Expert (Solo) and Enterprise (Company). Additive feature change; no re-consent required.
Changes in v1.4: Cross-Rulebook integration with Cabinet (Litigation) Function Rulebook v1.0. Added §1.2.2(i) excluding Cabinet matters from this Rulebook's scope. Enriched §8.4.1(f) and §9.3.1(a) with explicit cross-references to Cabinet Rulebook §7.2 (read-only fallback) and Article 20 (retention). Active Cases per Month tier features unchanged. No operational rule changes; no re-consent required.
1.1.1 This Rulebook provides a single authoritative source of truth governing the Subscriptions function on the Platform.
1.1.2 This Rulebook serves to:
(a) Define the subscription tiers available to Solo Specialists and Companies;
(b) Establish billing mechanics, including auto-renewal, proration, and grace periods;
(c) Govern plan switching (upgrade and downgrade) and plan deprecation;
(d) Define the subscription lifecycle and state transitions;
(e) Clarify the relationship between subscription tier and feature entitlements;
(f) Establish refund eligibility, dispute resolution, and chargeback handling;
(g) Allocate liability for billing-related matters.
1.2.1 This Rulebook applies to:
(a) Solo Specialist subscription tiers (Freemium, Pro, Expert);
(b) Company subscription tiers (Basic, Established, Enterprise);
(c) Company Specialists' inheritance of features from their Affiliated Company's subscription;
(d) All Subscription-related billing, including renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and refunds;
(e) Promotional codes, gifts, and discounts applied to Subscription fees.
1.2.2 This Rulebook does NOT govern:
(a) Trainer income (commission-based, not subscription-based) — governed by the Trainer Terms and Conditions;
(b) Inquiry-derived Consultation payments (12% commission model) — governed by the Inquiries & Messaging Function Rulebook;
(c) Free consultation Platform fees (10 GEL) — governed by the Inquiries & Messaging Function Rulebook §10.5;
(d) Organisation subscriptions and Token economy — governed by the Organisation Terms and Conditions Articles 5 and 6 (incorporated by reference herein for boundary purposes only). The member-side mechanics of any Solo Specialist subscription funded in whole or in part by Organisation Tokens remain subject to this Rulebook (see Section 1.2.5);
(e) Trainee enrollment fees for Trainings — governed by the Trainee Terms and Conditions;
(f) Bank-side fees, FX conversion rates, or processing fees imposed by issuing banks.
(g) Specialization selection (L2 specializations), pricing publication (FIXED, RANGE, QUOTE), and book-from-calendar Standing Offer mechanics — governed by the Specializations & Pricing Function Rulebook v1.0. The specialty slot counts referenced in Specializations & Pricing Rulebook §4.3 are sourced from this Rulebook (§5.1.1 for Solo tiers, §6.1.1 for Company tiers, §7 for Company Specialist inheritance) and remain canonical here.
(h) Calendar publication mechanics, Google Calendar OAuth integration, sync semantics, and Personal Block management — governed by the Calendar Function Rulebook v1.0. Calendar Functionality and Google Calendar Integration tier-gating is defined here (§5.1.1 / §6.1.1) and referenced operationally in the Calendar Rulebook §4.1.1(e) and §7.1.
(i) Cabinet (Litigation Case) management mechanics, multi-Specialist team structures, Cabinet financial model (off-Platform default + 7% Platform-handled commission), document/credential/notes management, withdrawal of representation, and Case File Delivery — governed by the Cabinet (Litigation) Function Rulebook v1.0. The Active Cases per Month tier features remain canonical here (§5.1.1 / §6.1.1) and are referenced by the Cabinet Rulebook §7.1 for Cabinet access gating.
1.2.5 Token-Funded Member Subscriptions — Boundary:
(a) Where an Organisation funds a member Solo Specialist's subscription via Organisation Tokens per the Organisation Terms and Conditions Article 6, this Rulebook continues to govern the member-side mechanics of the Solo Specialist subscription, including:
(i) Card on File requirement (preserved at all coverage levels including 100% Token coverage);
(ii) Past Due grace periods and feature degradation;
(iii) Renewal proration on member-initiated tier changes;
(iv) Member-side notifications;
(v) Member's individual obligations including chargeback policies.
(b) The Organisation Terms and Conditions governs the Organisation-side mechanics, including:
(i) Token issuance, expiry, and forfeiture;
(ii) Coverage Rule configuration and modification;
(iii) Pool depletion handling;
(iv) Organisation Administrator notifications.
(c) Conflict resolution: Where a question concerns mechanics applicable to a member's Solo Specialist subscription, this Rulebook prevails. Where a question concerns Token allocation or Organisation subscription mechanics, the Organisation T&C prevails.

3.1.1 The Platform operates two distinct Subscription categories:
(a) Solo Specialist Subscriptions — held by individual independent specialists;

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freemium | 0 GEL | ✅ Mandatory at activation | ✅ Yes (post-Verification) | ❌ Hidden |

5.1.1 The following table sets forth the feature entitlements for each Solo Specialist tier. Tier features may be modified at the Platform's discretion per Article 13.
Cross-reference: The "Specialty Slots" feature value for each tier (1 / 3 / 7 for Freemium / Pro / Expert) is the canonical source for the L2 specialization count limit referenced in Specializations & Pricing Rulebook §4.3.

|---|---|---|---|
| Card on File Requirement | ✅ Mandatory at activation | ✅ Required | ✅ Required |

5.2.1 Freemium is a zero-cost paid tier with mandatory Card on File at activation.
5.2.2 The Card on File requirement enables seamless tier upgrades without re-authentication.
5.2.3 Freemium does NOT unlock contact information disclosure on Profile; off-Platform engagement via Profile contact (per Inquiries Rulebook §4.6) is unavailable to Freemium-tier Specialists.
5.2.4 Freemium-tier Specialists may receive and process Inquiries on the Platform without limitation. The 12% Inquiry commission applies regardless of tier (per Inquiries Rulebook §10.4).
5.3.1 Pro tier unlocks contact information disclosure, priority position in search, advanced analytics, advanced SEO and LLM optimization, and the verified badge.
5.4.1 Expert tier provides the broadest feature set including unlimited posts, full analytics depth, priority support, and full SEO/LLM optimization.
5.5.1 Inquiry intake, processing, and Consultation conversion are not gated by Subscription tier beyond the contact-disclosure feature in Section 5.2.3. A Freemium-tier Specialist may receive an unlimited number of Inquiries.
6.1.1 The following table sets forth the feature entitlements for each Company tier. Tier features may be modified at the Platform's discretion per Article 13.
Cross-reference: The "Specialization Slots" feature value for each Company tier (5 / 10 / Unlimited for Basic / Established / Enterprise — applied as a Pool with first-come-first-served allocation) is the canonical source for the L2 specialization count limit referenced in Specializations & Pricing Rulebook §4.3 and §12.2 (Company Specialist Pool constraint).
| Feature | Basic (0 GEL) | Established (259 GEL/mo) | Enterprise (799 GEL/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card on File Requirement | ✅ Mandatory at activation | ✅ Required | ✅ Required |

6.2.1 Basic is a zero-cost Company tier with mandatory Card on File at activation.
6.2.2 Basic does NOT unlock contact information disclosure or verified badge.
6.3.1 Established adds priority position, advanced analytics, LLM optimization, and verified badge for affiliated Specialists. Note that Established does NOT unlock contact information disclosure at the Company-Profile level (this is reserved for Enterprise).
6.4.1 Enterprise unlocks the full feature set, including unlimited specialists/specializations/posts, contact information disclosure, verified Company badge, and Meta leads integration.
7.1.1 Company Specialists do not hold individual Subscriptions. Their feature entitlements derive from their Affiliated Company's Subscription tier.
7.1.2 Company Specialist features are pulled from the Affiliated Company's Feature Pool per Section 7.2.
7.2.1 The Feature Pool model operates as follows:
(a) The Affiliated Company holds an aggregate quota of features (e.g., specialization slots, posts per month, active cases) at its Tier;
(b) Affiliated Specialists draw from this pool on a first-come-first-served basis as they consume the features;
(c) The Affiliated Company itself does not pre-allocate features to specific Specialists in v1.0;
(d) When a Specialist consumes a feature instance (e.g., creates a post or opens an active case), it counts against the Company's pool quota.
7.2.2 Example: A Company on the Established tier has 15 posts/month and 5 specialists. If Specialist A publishes 10 posts and Specialist B publishes 5 posts in the same month, the entire pool is consumed and other Specialists cannot publish further posts that month.
7.2.3 When the Company's pool is exhausted, additional feature consumption attempts by affiliated Specialists are blocked.
7.3.1 Specialty slots and Verified Badge entitlements pass from the Company's tier to affiliated Specialists per the Company tier feature matrix in Article 6.
7.3.2 The verification badge for affiliated Specialists is conditional on:
(a) The Specialist's individual Verification (per Role T&C); AND
(b) The Affiliated Company's tier supporting the badge (Established or Enterprise per Section 6.1.1).
7.4.1 First-come-first-served distribution is the v1.0 model. Future Rulebook versions may introduce admin-allocated distribution where the Company explicitly assigns features to specific Specialists.
8.1.1 Subscriptions move through the following primary states:
Active ⇄ Past Due
↓ ↓
Canceled Expired (after grace exhaustion)
Plus three sub-state flags:
(a) Pending Cancellation — User has clicked Cancel; subscription remains Active until current Billing Cycle ends;
(b) Pending Downgrade — User has clicked Downgrade; downgrade applies at next Billing Cycle;
(c) Trialing — Optional state; available only if Trial mechanics are introduced per Article 10.
8.1.2 The "No Subscription" state per Section 8.6 is structurally distinct from the lifecycle above; it applies to verified Specialists who have never activated any Subscription tier or whose grace period after Company departure has expired.
8.2.1 A Subscription enters Active state upon successful payment of the first Billing Cycle (or Card on File acceptance for Freemium / Basic).
8.2.2 While Active:
(a) All Tier Features are available;
(b) Auto-Renewal is enabled by default;
(c) The Subscriber may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel per Articles 9 and 13;
(d) Renewal is attempted on the Renewal Date.
8.3.1 A Subscription enters Past Due state when:
(a) An Auto-Renewal payment fails on attempt 1; AND
(b) The Subscription was previously paid (i.e., not Freemium / Basic, which require no recurring payment).
8.3.2 Past Due grace period mechanics:
| Day | Event |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Renewal payment attempted; fails |
| Day 1 | Auto-retry 1; reminder notification sent |
| Day 2 | Auto-retry 2; reminder notification sent |
| Day 3 | Auto-retry 3 (final); reminder notification sent |
| Day 4 | Reminder notification sent |
| Day 5 | Reminder notification sent |
| Day 6 | Tier Features revert to Freemium-equivalent (for Solo) or Basic-equivalent (for Company) |
8.3.3 During Past Due (days 0–5):
(a) Tier Features remain available;
(b) The Subscriber receives daily reminder notifications;
(c) The Subscriber can update payment method or pay manually to recover.
8.3.4 Recovery from Past Due:
(a) The Subscriber pays the overdue amount;
(b) Subscription returns to Active immediately;
(c) The next Renewal Date is the date that would have applied had renewal succeeded on Day 0;
(d) No late fees apply in v1.0.
8.4.1 On day 6, if the Subscription has not recovered:
(a) For Solo Specialists with prior paid tier (Pro or Expert): Tier Features auto-degrade to Freemium; the existing Card on File is retained;
(b) For Companies with prior paid tier (Established or Enterprise): Tier Features auto-degrade to Basic; the existing Card on File is retained;
(c) Contact Information Disclosure is hidden;
(d) Posts and Active Cases beyond the new tier's quota become read-only (not deleted; Article 14.6);
(e) Active in-flight Inquiries are unaffected (Inquiries Rulebook applies independently);
(f) Cabinet data and case information are preserved per Cabinet Rulebook Article 20 (5-year post-Closure retention standard); the Specialist's existing Cases enter read-only mode per Cabinet Rulebook §7.2;
(g) Verified Badge is removed.
8.4.2 From the auto-degraded Freemium / Basic state, the Subscriber may at any time upgrade to a paid tier per Article 9 to restore features.
8.5.1 Canceled is reached when the Subscriber affirmatively cancels per Article 13.
8.5.2 Expired is reached when grace period exhaustion has occurred without recovery (i.e., upon transition to auto-degraded Freemium / Basic per Section 8.4.1, the original paid Subscription is considered Expired and replaced with the lower tier).
8.5.3 Both states are terminal for the original Subscription record, but the Subscriber retains a Subscription account (Freemium, Basic, or No Subscription per Section 8.6) and may re-activate paid tiers freely per Section 13.4.
8.6.1 "No Subscription" applies in two narrow scenarios:
(a) A newly verified Specialist who has not activated any Subscription tier;
(b) A Company Specialist who has departed an Affiliated Company and whose 15-day grace period (Article 12.5) has expired.
8.6.2 While in No Subscription:
(a) The Specialist's Profile remains publicly visible (post-Verification);
(b) Contact Information is hidden;
(c) No tier Features beyond Profile baseline are available;
(d) The Specialist may not receive Inquiries that require the contact-disclosure feature; standard Inquiries via Platform messaging remain available;
(e) Cabinet and case data are preserved.
8.6.3 Activation of Freemium from No Subscription requires:
(a) Affirmative selection of Freemium tier in account settings;
(b) Saving a Card on File.
8.6.4 "No Subscription" differs from Freemium in that No Subscription has no Card on File and no active Subscription record.
9.1.1 A Subscriber may upgrade to a higher-priced tier at any time during an active Billing Cycle.
9.1.2 Upgrade is effective immediately upon successful payment.
9.1.3 A Pro-Rated Charge is calculated as:
Pro-Rated Charge = (New Tier Price − Current Tier Price) × (Remaining Days / Total Days in Cycle)
Example: Specialist on Pro (119 GEL/month) upgrades to Expert (199 GEL/month) on day 15 of a 30-day Billing Cycle:
9.1.4 The original Renewal Date is preserved; the next renewal occurs at the original date but at the new tier price.
9.1.5 Upgrades are not subject to frequency limits — a Subscriber may upgrade multiple times within a Billing Cycle.
9.2.1 A Subscriber may downgrade to a lower-priced tier at any time during an active Billing Cycle.
9.2.2 Downgrade is effective at the start of the next Billing Cycle, not immediately.
9.2.3 No prorated refund or credit is issued for the unused current tier; the Subscriber retains the higher tier's features until the current cycle ends.
9.2.4 During the period between downgrade request and effective date, the Subscription is in the "Pending Downgrade" sub-state per Section 8.1.1(b).
9.2.5 A Pending Downgrade may be canceled by the Subscriber before the effective date; the original tier continues without interruption.
9.3.1 A Company downgrade that would put the Company below required limits (e.g., active Specialists, active cases, posts published) is handled as follows:
(a) Excess Specialists become auto-blocked but retain read-only Cabinet access per Cabinet Rulebook §7.2 (read-only fallback preserves all Privileged Content protections);
(b) Excess active cases become read-only;
(c) Excess posts become read-only;
(d) The Company is responsible for resolving overage situations through Cabinet management, archiving, or arranging Specialist departures before the downgrade effective date.
9.3.2 The Company is notified of overage implications at the time of downgrade selection.
9.4.1 Upgrades and downgrades may be initiated without limit within a Billing Cycle.
9.5.1 Because upgrades are immediate (Section 9.1.2), no "Pending Upgrade" state typically applies. The state is reserved for edge cases (e.g., payment processing delays).
10.1.1 Trial periods are not offered as a standard Subscription feature in v1.0.
10.1.2 The Platform reserves the right to introduce trial periods for any tier in future Rulebook versions or as a promotional offering.
10.2.1 When a trial period is introduced:
(a) Trial duration, eligibility, and tier coverage will be specified at introduction;
(b) The Subscriber must save a Card on File before trial activation;
(c) At trial expiration, the Subscription auto-converts to the corresponding paid tier; the saved Card on File is charged automatically;
(d) The Subscriber is notified before trial expiration and may cancel before auto-conversion.
10.2.2 Trial-specific terms supersede general Subscription terms for the trial period only.
11.1.1 The Platform may offer promotional codes ("Promo Codes"), gifts, and discounts at its sole discretion.
11.1.2 Promo Codes may include any of the following types or combinations thereof:
(a) Percentage discount (e.g., 20% off);
(b) Fixed-amount discount (e.g., 50 GEL off);
(c) Trial period extension;
(d) Free month or free Billing Cycle;
(e) First-time-only discount;
(f) Public codes (any user can apply);
(g) Private codes (assigned to specific users);
(h) Single-use or multi-use;
(i) Time-bounded validity;
(j) One-time application or recurring-discount duration.
11.2.1 Each Promo Code is governed by terms specified at issuance, including:
(a) Eligible tiers;
(b) Applicable Subscriber categories (Solo Specialists, Companies, or both);
(c) Discount type and amount;
(d) Validity period;
(e) Usage limits;
(f) Stacking rules.
11.2.2 Promo Code terms are communicated to recipients at issuance or distribution.
11.2.3 Promo Codes may be revoked by the Platform before redemption for fraud, error, or policy violations.
11.3.1 Promo Code stacking and combination rules are defined per Promo Code at issuance.
11.3.2 Default behavior, where not specified, is one (1) Promo Code per redemption.
11.4.1 The Platform may offer special promotional terms (discounts, Promo Codes, gifts) to members of organizations or institutions in partnership with the Platform.
11.4.2 Such offers are governed by the Organization Terms and Conditions (forthcoming) and any specific partnership agreement.
11.5.1 When a Promo Code's discounted period ends:
(a) Subsequent renewals proceed at full tier price;
(b) The Subscriber is notified of the price change at least seven (7) days before the next renewal at full price.
12.1.1 A new Specialist or Company activates Subscription as part of the post-Verification onboarding flow.
12.1.2 Activation requires:
(a) Selection of a tier;
(b) Acceptance of this Rulebook and applicable Role Terms and Conditions;
(c) Saving a Card on File (mandatory for all tiers including Freemium / Basic);
(d) Successful first payment (for paid tiers; Freemium / Basic activate at zero charge).
12.1.3 Upon successful activation, Subscription transitions to Active state.
12.2.1 Auto-Renewal is the default behavior.
12.2.2 Auto-Renewal occurs on the Renewal Date by automatically charging the Card on File.
12.2.3 A Subscriber may cancel Auto-Renewal at any time before the Renewal Date by setting cancellation per Article 13.
12.2.4 Upon Auto-Renewal payment failure, the Subscription enters Past Due per Article 8.3.
12.3.1 A Subscription renews at the price in effect at the time of original activation for the duration of the current Subscription.
12.3.2 If Platform pricing changes during a Billing Cycle, the new price applies only to the next renewal.
12.3.3 If the new price is higher than the existing price, the Platform shall provide at least 30 days' advance notice of the price change before the next Renewal Date. The Subscriber may cancel before the next Renewal Date and pay the original price for the remaining current cycle.
12.4.1 When a Solo Specialist joins a Company:
(a) Any active Solo Specialist Subscription is terminated;
(b) No refund is issued for unused portion of the Solo Specialist Subscription period;
(c) Remaining days do not transfer to the Company;
(d) The Specialist's features become inherited from the Company per Article 7.
12.5.1 When a Company Specialist departs an Affiliated Company:
(a) The Specialist receives a 15-day grace period during which Tier Features equivalent to the departed Company's tier remain available;
(b) During the grace period, the Specialist may activate a Solo Tier Subscription (Freemium, Pro, or Expert);
(c) At the expiration of the 15-day grace period, if no Solo Tier has been activated, the Specialist transitions to No Subscription state per Section 8.6.
12.5.2 The 15-day grace period exists because the departing Company Specialist had no individual Subscription Card on File and requires manual activation to enroll in any individual tier.
12.6.1 A Subscriber may delete their account during a Billing Cycle.
12.6.2 Upon account deletion:
