1. INTRODUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE

1.1 About These Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website legal.ge and all related services (collectively, the "Platform") operated by Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company").

1.2 Acceptance

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.

These role-specific terms supplement (and in case of conflict, take precedence over) these general Terms for matters specific to that role.

1.4 Three-Tier Document Hierarchy

The legal.ge framework operates on a three-tier document hierarchy:

Tier 1 — Master Terms and Conditions (this document): Governs your overall access to and use of the Platform. Establishes baseline obligations, eligibility, acceptable use, intellectual property, liability, and dispute resolution.

Tier 2 — Role Terms and Conditions: Governs your role-specific obligations when you take on a specific role on the Platform (User, Solo Specialist, Company Specialist, Company, Trainer, Trainee, Author, Moderator, Organisation). Each Role T&C incorporates these Master Terms by reference and supplements them with role-specific provisions.

Tier 3 — Function Rulebooks: Binding rules governing specific Platform features. Each Function Rulebook addresses one feature area and operates as the single source of truth for that feature. Current Function Rulebooks include:

Posting Function Rulebook — content publication;
Reviews & Ratings Function Rulebook — Specialist reviews and rating mechanics;
Inquiries & Messaging Function Rulebook — Inquiry submission, Quote, Pre-Authorization, Capture, Appeals;
Subscriptions & Billing Function Rulebook — subscription tiers, billing, renewals, downgrades;
Video Consultations Function Rulebook — video session mechanics;
Specializations & Pricing Function Rulebook — specialization selection, pricing publication, book-from-calendar Standing Offer;
Calendar Function Rulebook — calendar publication, Google Calendar OAuth integration, Personal Blocks;
Cabinet (Litigation) Function Rulebook — Litigation Case management, multi-Specialist team, privilege protection.

Conflict Resolution Rule: Where matters cross tiers and conflict, the more specific instrument prevails over the more general:

(a) On matters governed by a specific Function Rulebook, that Rulebook prevails over Role T&Cs and Master T&C;

(b) On matters governed by a Role T&C but not a Function Rulebook, the Role T&C prevails over Master T&C;

(d) Where conflicts cannot be resolved by specificity, the instruments shall be interpreted to give effect to all provisions and avoid conflict; if irreducible, the more specific document prevails.

Master Terms and Conditions (this document);
Privacy Policy — data protection and privacy practices;
Cookie Policy — cookie usage and consent mechanics;
Role Terms and Conditions — 9 role-specific documents;

3. ABOUT THE PLATFORM

3.1 Platform Description

Legal.ge is a professional services marketplace operating in Georgia, offering legal consultation services, training, content publishing, and related services.

The Platform:

Connects clients with professional service providers (Specialists);
Enables companies and organisations to manage their presence and affiliated specialists;
Provides legal education and training services;
Publishes legal content and resources;
Supports ongoing engagements through the Cabinet (Litigation) Case management module;
Operates the Inquiry, Calendar, Subscription, and other framework features under their respective Function Rulebooks.

3.2 Platform Role

We are a marketplace and technology provider, not a law firm.

We do not provide legal advice or legal services directly;
We do not employ the Specialists listed on the Platform;
We do not guarantee outcomes of any legal matter;
We facilitate connections but are not a party to engagements between Users and Specialists;
We provide infrastructure for engagement management; the substantive engagement is between Specialist and Client.

3.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship with Platform

Your use of the Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship with Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC. Any attorney-client relationship is solely between you and the Specialist you engage. Cabinet's privilege framework (per Cabinet Function Rulebook Article 5) protects the Specialist-Client relationship through technical and contractual measures, but the substantive relationship remains between Specialist and Client.

3.4 Professional Responsibility

Licensed Attorneys on the Platform remain subject to the rules of professional conduct of the Georgian Bar Association and any other applicable professional bodies. The Platform does not interfere with or modify these professional obligations.

11.3 Cabinet Privacy

Cabinet content receives enhanced privacy protection per Cabinet Function Rulebook Article 5 and Privacy Policy Section 9.

11.4 Marketing and Conversion Tracking

The Platform operates a marketing and conversion tracking stack consisting of Meta Pixel (client-side) and Meta Conversions API (server-side), both gated behind explicit user consent in the Marketing category of the cookie consent banner. Until the user grants marketing consent, no Meta tracking data is collected or transmitted.

When the user grants marketing consent, certain data (including IP address, user agent, browser identifiers, and conversion event data) is transmitted to Meta Platforms, Inc. infrastructure in the United States. The lawful basis for this international transfer is dual: explicit user consent and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Detailed disclosure is in Privacy Policy v2.1 §3.1.7, §6.1.1, and §6.3, and in Cookie Policy v2.0 §3.5 and §5.

The user may withdraw marketing consent at any time via Cookie Settings. Withdrawal ceases new transmissions; data already transmitted to Meta is subject to Meta's own retention policies.

15.2 Function-Specific Dispute Mechanisms

Many Platform features have built-in dispute mechanisms in their Function Rulebooks (e.g., Inquiries Rulebook §12 Appeal mechanism, Reviews Rulebook Appeal Window).

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
