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").
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.
Depending on how you use the Platform, additional terms may apply:
| If You... | Additional Terms Apply |
|---|---|
| Register as a User | User Terms and Conditions |
| Become a Solo Specialist | Solo Specialist Terms and Conditions |
| Become a Company Specialist | Company Specialist Terms and Conditions |
| Register a Company | Company Terms and Conditions |
| Become a Trainer | Trainer Terms and Conditions |
| Enrol as a Trainee | Trainee Terms and Conditions |
| Publish as an Author | Author Terms and Conditions |
| Serve as a Moderator | Moderator Terms and Conditions |
| Register or join an Organisation | Organisation Terms and Conditions |
These role-specific terms supplement (and in case of conflict, take precedence over) these general Terms for matters specific to that role.
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:
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;
(c) On matters not addressed in Function Rulebooks or Role T&Cs, this Master T&C governs;
(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.
The complete legal.ge document library accessible to users:
All documents are available in English, Georgian, and Russian. The Georgian version prevails in case of conflict.
These Terms, together with applicable Role Terms and Conditions, Function Rulebooks, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy, constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC. Please read them carefully.

Legal.ge is a professional services marketplace operating in Georgia, offering legal consultation services, training, content publishing, and related services.
The Platform:
We are a marketplace and technology provider, not a law firm.
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.
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. Specialists' professional ethical obligations to their clients (including conflict checking, privilege maintenance, fee handling, and Bar discipline) are independent of and additional to Platform protections.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.
By using the Platform, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.
Visitors may browse publicly available portions of the Platform without registration. However, registration is required to:
To register an Account, you must:
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You must:
Each person may maintain only one Account unless expressly authorized by us.
When using the Platform, you agree to:
You must NOT:
Each Function Rulebook contains role-specific prohibited conduct provisions tailored to that feature. Violations of Function Rulebook prohibitions are violations of these Terms. Refer to the applicable Function Rulebook for feature-specific obligations.
We reserve the right to:
The Platform, including its design, features, functionality, code, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC and protected by Georgian and international intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for its intended purposes, subject to these Terms.
This license does NOT include the right to:
You retain ownership of Content you create and upload to the Platform, subject to the licenses granted below.
By uploading Content to the Platform, you grant Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to operate the Platform, including:
This license is strictly limited to operating the Platform. It does NOT include the right to use your Content for product development, training data, analytics (except aggregated/anonymised analytics), marketing, or any purpose other than operating the Platform.
This license continues for Content that remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period after removal (for backup and archival purposes).
The license in §6.3.2 does NOT apply to Cabinet content stored in the Litigation Case management module. Cabinet content is governed by the Cabinet (Litigation) Function Rulebook Article 5 (Privilege Protection).
For Cabinet content:
Content you make publicly available (such as published articles or public profile information) may be viewed, shared, and indexed by search engines.
If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Platform ("Feedback"), you grant us the right to use that Feedback without restriction or compensation to you.
The Platform may contain content from third parties (including other Users). We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of third-party content.
Certain Services on the Platform require payment. Specific fees, payment terms, and refund policies are set forth in the applicable Function Rulebooks and Role Terms and Conditions.
The Platform's fee structure is governed by the applicable framework documents — this Master T&C does not duplicate those specifics. Refer to:
All prices are displayed in Georgian Lari (GEL) unless otherwise indicated. Some prices may be displayed in equivalent foreign currency (e.g., USD for Organisation tiers) at the National Bank of Georgia exchange rate.
We reserve the right to change pricing with notice to affected users per the applicable Function Rulebook.
Payments are processed through our payment processor, Bank of Georgia. By making a payment, you agree to the payment processor's terms of service.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes on your purchases or earnings through the Platform, except where we are required by law to collect and remit taxes. Tax-inclusive vs. tax-exclusive pricing is governed by the applicable Function Rulebook and Role T&C.
The Platform facilitates payments between Users and service providers (Specialists, Trainers, etc.) but is not responsible for:
The Cabinet supports a hybrid payment model (off-Platform default + 7% Platform-handled per-payment) governed by Cabinet Function Rulebook Article 16. Engagement letter terms between Specialist and Client are independent of the Platform and govern the substantive payment relationship.
THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including:
WE DO NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.
We are not responsible for third-party services, websites, or content accessed through the Platform, including:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEGAL SANDBOX GEORGIA LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:
For registered users, our total liability for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of:
(a) The amount you paid to us (in commission, subscription fees, or other payments) in the 12 months preceding the claim;
(b) The amount specified in your applicable Role-specific Terms and Conditions or applicable Function Rulebook for the relevant matter; OR
(c) 1,000 GEL (one thousand Georgian Lari).
This cap reflects framework-wide consistency with specific Function Rulebook caps (e.g., Cabinet Rulebook §26.4.1).
For Visitors (non-registered users), our liability is limited to direct damages only, with no monetary cap but subject to the exclusions in Section 9.1.
These limitations apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Certain Function Rulebooks contain specific liability provisions (e.g., Cabinet Rulebook Article 26, Subscriptions Rulebook Article 22). Where applicable, the specific cap from the Function Rulebook applies to the matter governed by that Rulebook, subject to the framework minimum in §9.2(c).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
We will notify you of any claim subject to indemnification. You must not settle any claim without our prior written consent.
Our collection and use of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy (v2.0 or successor), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Our use of cookies is governed by our Cookie Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Cabinet content receives enhanced privacy protection per Cabinet Function Rulebook Article 5 and Privacy Policy Section 9. Standard encryption-at-rest applies, with the Platform contractually committing to access content only on three narrow grounds (legal compulsion, Specialist's request, suspected serious misuse), with all access logged in an immutable audit trail viewable by the Lead Specialist.
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.
By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.
The supervisory authority for data protection matters in Georgia is the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia (PDPS). Contact details are provided in the Privacy Policy.
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for convenience only.
Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site or its content.
We are not responsible for:
The Platform integrates with the following categories of third-party services, all disclosed in detail in the Privacy Policy v2.1 §6.1:
(a) Hosting and infrastructure (Supabase, Vercel) — operate the Platform itself;
(b) Authentication providers (Google OAuth) — login authentication;
(c) Calendar integration (Google Calendar, Specialist-side OAuth) — for Expert/Enterprise tier Specialists;
(d) Payment processing (Bank of Georgia) — payment infrastructure;
(e) Analytics providers (Google Analytics 4, Vercel Analytics) — performance and usage analytics;
(f) Marketing tracking providers (Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API) — gated behind explicit marketing consent; transmits data to Meta Platforms, Inc. in the United States.
Detailed disclosure of each provider, the data shared, the lawful basis, and the consent treatment is in Privacy Policy v2.1 §6.1.1 and Cookie Policy v2.0 §4.2.
We reserve the right to:
We will provide reasonable notice of material changes where practicable.
We may modify these Master Terms at any time. Changes will be effective when posted unless otherwise specified. For material changes, we will:
Role Terms and Conditions and Function Rulebooks have their own amendment provisions, which generally require:
The specific amendment regime for each instrument is set forth in that instrument. This per-Rulebook regime is preserved and applies independently of Master T&C amendments.
Your continued use of the Platform after Master T&C changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the modified Master Terms. If you do not agree to modified Master Terms, you must stop using the Platform.
For Function Rulebook amendments requiring affirmative re-consent, declining the amendment may result in loss of access to the affected feature while preserving access to other Platform features.
These Terms remain in effect while you use the Platform.
You may stop using the Platform at any time. If you have an Account, you may close it through your account settings or by contacting us.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform:
Upon termination:
A Specialist who initiates account termination with one or more Active Cabinet Cases is subject to Cabinet Function Rulebook §17.8:
(a) The Platform issues a reminder to the Specialist of the Active Cases and the Specialist's professional obligation to transfer or close them properly;
(b) The Platform does NOT block termination based on Active Cases;
(c) The Specialist's failure to properly transfer or close Active Cases prior to termination is the Specialist's professional ethical liability under Bar rules — not a Platform-blocking matter;
(d) Auto-archived Cases at termination preserve Client read-only access per Cabinet Rulebook §17.8.2.
Termination for cause does not entitle you to refunds of any fees paid, except as specifically provided in applicable Function Rulebooks.
Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to contact us at contact@legal.ge to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve disputes within 30 days.
Many Platform features have built-in dispute mechanisms in their Function Rulebooks (e.g., Inquiries Rulebook §12 Appeal mechanism, Reviews Rulebook Appeal Window). Where a Function Rulebook provides a dispute mechanism, that mechanism should be used as the first step before resorting to formal proceedings.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Tbilisi, Georgia (Tbilisi City Court for first instance).
Legal proceedings shall be conducted in the Georgian language.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis and waive any right to participate in class actions or collective proceedings. The enforceability of this waiver under Georgian procedural law is subject to applicable law.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, applicable Role-specific Terms and Conditions, applicable Function Rulebooks, and the Organisation Terms and Conditions where applicable, constitute the entire agreement between you and Legal Sandbox Georgia LLC regarding the Platform.
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.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it later.
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
We are not liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, government actions, internet failures, or pandemics.
Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your Account or posted on the Platform. Notices to us should be sent to contact@legal.ge.
These Terms are provided in Georgian, English, and Russian. In case of conflict between language versions, the Georgian version prevails.
Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
