You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement. If you use the Service for a firm, company or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and 'you' includes it.

The Service is a tool for advocates, law students, researchers and other people who work with the law. It does not replace an advocate.

• Free trial: each new account gets one 24-hour trial of Research & Case Law and Kenya Law Live, with the limits shown in the Service. The trial is used once; paying also uses it up.
• Day pass: a one-off payment that opens Research & Case Law and Kenya Law Live for 24 hours from payment.
• Pro and Pro+: access for the period you pay for (for example a week, a month or a year) to the features listed for each plan. Pro+ also gives access to the bonus features (such as the Resume Builder, the Remuneration Calculator and Advocate Search) and the practice-management tools.
• Features, limits and prices may differ from what is listed on the day you pay; what is shown at payment applies to that payment.

We may add, change, limit or remove features, and we may suspend the Service for maintenance or because of events outside our control. We will try to give notice of changes that significantly reduce what you have paid for. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available.

LexContinuum is a research and drafting aid. Nothing in the Service, including every answer, draft, summary, brief, calculation, checklist, flag, reminder or other output, is legal advice, and nothing in it creates an advocate–client relationship between you and us or any person we work with. We are not a law firm and do not practise as advocates.

• Outputs written or helped by artificial intelligence can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. They can name cases, statutes or facts that do not exist or do not say what is claimed. The checks the Service runs on authorities and citations reduce this risk but cannot remove it.
• Case law, legislation and other material can be amended, overruled or repealed after the Service shows it. Limitation periods, court deadlines, fees and procedures depend on the facts and the current law.
• You must verify every authority, quotation, date, amount and statement against the original and current source before you rely on it, file it, send it to a client or a court, or act on it.
• If you are an advocate or other professional, you stay fully responsible for your work, your advice and your compliance with your professional rules. If you are not a lawyer, you should consult an advocate before acting on anything you find here.

Give accurate information and keep it up to date. Your account is personal to you: do not share it, and keep your password secret. You are responsible for everything done through your account until you tell us it has been compromised. Tell us at once if you suspect unauthorised use.

We may ask you to verify your email address and may restrict an account until you do.

• Prices are in Kenya shillings and are shown before you pay. They may include or be subject to taxes such as VAT as shown at payment.
• Payments are made through Paystack and the mobile-money or card provider you choose. Their terms also apply, and we do not receive your card details or mobile-money PIN.
• A plan or Day pass starts when your payment is confirmed. Plans are for a fixed period and do not renew automatically. When the period ends, access ends unless you pay again.
• If you pay for a plan while you have time left on another, the Service will tell you how the time is added or replaced before you pay.
• Because access to the Service is given immediately, payments are not refundable once access has started, except where the law requires, or where we failed to provide the Service you paid for, or you were charged twice or in error. Tell us within 7 days of the payment at the contact address below, with the payment reference, and we will put it right.
• We may change prices for future payments. A price change does not affect a period you have already paid for.
• If a payment is reversed or disputed (a chargeback), we may suspend the account until the matter is settled.
• Nothing in this section limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act, 2012 or any other law that cannot be excluded.

You agree not to, and not to let anyone else:

• break any law, including the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018, the Data Protection Act, 2019 and the Copyright Act, 2001, or infringe anyone's rights;
• upload or create content that is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, or that you have no right to use or share, or that breaches a duty of confidentiality;
• use the Service to commit fraud or to give legal services if you are not authorised to give them;
• copy, scrape, harvest or bulk-download the Service or its content, build a competing product from it, or resell or share access;
• get around limits, paywalls, rate limits or security, probe or test the Service's security without our written permission, or interfere with it or with other people's use of it;
• reverse engineer or copy the software, except as the law allows;
• use the AI features to produce unlawful, deceptive or harmful material, or to try to extract the instructions or workings of the Service;
• pass off AI output as verified work without checking it, or present it to a court or client as if it were your own checked authority when it is not.

We may remove content, limit use, suspend or end your account if we reasonably believe you have broken this section, and may report unlawful activity to the authorities.

You keep all rights in the content you put into the Service. You give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, copy, process and display it, and to send it to our service providers (including the AI providers described in the Privacy Policy), only as needed to provide, secure and support the Service for you.

You promise that you have the right to put your content into the Service and to let us process it, including any consent and any permission from your clients that your professional duties require. You are responsible for your content and for keeping your own copies. Features that let you export your content are there for that purpose.

If you tell us, or we reasonably believe, that content is unlawful or infringes rights, we may remove it. To report content, write to us at the contact address below with enough detail for us to find it and a statement of why it should be removed.

The Service shows and links to material that belongs to others. We do not own it, we credit its source, and we do not endorse it or promise that it is accurate, complete or current.

• Judgments, legislation and other law reports: these come from public sources, in particular Kenya Law (new.kenyalaw.org), and from the library you or others have added. Credit and copyright for that material remain with Kenya Law, the National Council for Law Reporting, the courts and the other original owners. The official source is always the authority. Follow the source's own terms when you use it.
• Advocate register information: the register of advocates and practising certificates belongs to the Law Society of Kenya (online.lsk.or.ke), and certificate verification is run by the Judiciary of Kenya. Advocate Search shows the Law Society's own page, with credit to the Law Society. For privacy, LexContinuum does not read, search or record any advocate's details: if you need a record of a check, keep it in your own files. We do not control or guarantee that register, and the Law Society's note and disclaimer on its page apply. Always check the official source for the current position.
• Fee schedules: the Remuneration Calculator follows the Advocates (Remuneration) (Amendment) Order, 2014 as built into the Service. It is only an aid. The taxing master has a discretion, the Order may have been amended or replaced, and some figures are not included. Check every figure against the current Order before you rely on it.
• Other websites and tools that we link to are outside our control, and we are not responsible for them.

The Service, its software, design, text, logos, the name LexContinuum and everything we create belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for its intended purpose during your access period, on these Terms. All other rights are reserved.

If you give us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.

Documents you generate with the Service are yours to use. Where the Service adds our name or a footer to a download, you may switch that off in the download options.

• Drafting and documents: drafts are starting points. Placeholders and assumptions must be completed and the whole document checked by a suitably qualified person before use. We do not guarantee that a draft meets the rules of any court, registry or authority.
• Case Tracker, diary and reminders: they help you keep track of dates but may be late, missed or wrong, for example if a notification does not arrive. Time limits such as limitation and appeal periods are shown as an aid only. You must work out and diarise every deadline yourself.
• Accounting, client money and invoices: they are record-keeping tools and not accounting, tax or trust-account advice. You remain responsible for complying with the Advocates Act and its rules on accounts and client money, and with tax law.
• Resume Builder: the ATS check uses general rules of thumb and does not guarantee that any employer's system will read or rank your document. You are responsible for the truth of what you state.
• Searches and analyses: results depend on the material available and on how you ask. An absence of results does not mean that no authority exists.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service is provided 'as is' and 'as available'. We give no warranty, express or implied, about accuracy, completeness, currency, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted or secure operation, or that defects will be fixed. Any warranty that the law says cannot be excluded remains, but is limited to the extent the law permits.

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• we are not liable for any loss caused by your reliance on content or output of the Service, including any claim, loss, costs, penalty, adverse costs order, missed deadline, professional-negligence or disciplinary claim, or loss of a case or client, that results from outputs you did not verify;
• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, reputation or data, even if we were told it might happen;
• we are not liable for faults, delays or loss caused by third parties or events outside our reasonable control, including internet, power, hosting, payment-network, AI-provider and public-register outages, acts of government and force majeure;
• our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Service in any period of 12 months is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose and KES 10,000.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2012. If a clause is not allowed in your case, it applies only as far as the law permits.

You agree to indemnify and hold us, our officers, staff, developers and service providers harmless against claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your breach of these Terms, your content, your unlawful use of the Service, or your use of outputs without verifying them, including claims by your clients or other third parties. We will tell you of any claim in good time and you will give us reasonable help.

You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or end your access immediately, with or without notice, if you break these Terms, if we must by law, if we suspect fraud or abuse, or if payment is reversed. If we end your account without fault on your part, we will refund the unused part of a plan you paid for.

Before an account ends you should export your content. We will keep your content available to you for a short period after a planned ending where we can, but we do not promise to keep it. Sections that by their nature should continue (including 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17 and 18) continue after the account ends.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and forms part of these Terms. Where you put other people's personal data into the Service, you are responsible as described in it.

We may send notices to the email address on your account or show them in the Service, and they count as received when sent or shown. Notices to us must be sent to stakweblimited@gmail.com. You agree that electronic communication is a valid form of writing.

These Terms and any dispute connected with the Service are governed by the laws of Kenya. Before you start a claim, write to us at the contact address and give us 30 days to try to resolve it by discussion, and if that fails, by mediation if both sides agree. Subject to that, the courts of Kenya have jurisdiction, and the High Court of Kenya sitting in Nairobi is the proper place for any claim, except that either side may ask any competent court for urgent protective relief.

We may change these Terms. The new version applies from the effective date shown on it. For important changes we will tell you by email or in the Service. If you keep using the Service after the effective date, you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service. A change does not reduce what you have already paid for.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a part is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your rights or duties without our written agreement; we may transfer ours to a successor of the business. No one else has any right to enforce these Terms. The English text governs.
