By creating an account, downloading our mobile applications, accessing the Legal Search Console, or using any of our advocate utility tools, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Verified Source Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all access and use of the Platform.

You expressly understand, acknowledge, and agree that:

1. Lawqet is a Technology Enabler: Lawqet is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and legal informatics utility platform. Lawqet is not a law firm, does not engage in the practice of law, and does not provide formal legal representation, advocacy, or counsel before any court of law or judicial tribunal.
2. No Client Solicitation or Lawyer Referral: Lawqet does not solicit clients on behalf of any advocate, nor does it recommend, endorse, or refer specific advocates to citizens for a fee or commission.
3. No Attorney-Client Privilege with Lawqet: Use of the Platform, including automated legal searches, Bare Act queries, or court fee calculations, does not establish an advocate-client relationship between Grahmur Innovations Private Limited and any end-user.
4. Informational Nature & General Disclaimer: The information provided in this app is for general information purposes only. While we strive to keep it accurate and up to date, it may not always be complete or free from error. You rely on this information at your own risk. All legal materials, judgments, Bare Act provisions, and penal code mappings provided on the Platform are purely for informational, research, and legal workflow optimization purposes.

When utilizing Lawqet's AI-assisted features (such as query synthesis, automated case summarization, or draft structuring):

• Independent Professional Judgment: AI outputs are generated as computational aids to accelerate legal research. They do not constitute formal legal opinions. You, as a legal practitioner or user, retain the sole and exclusive responsibility to review, independently verify, and validate all citations, ratios, and statutory provisions prior to relying on them in judicial proceedings, pleadings, or legal advice.
• Zero Foundation Model Training: In accordance with our Privacy Policy, your uploaded pleadings, draft briefs, and case queries are strictly segregated and never used to train public LLM models.
• No Warranty of Completeness: While Lawqet enforces a strict "Zero Web Hallucination Standard" referencing only authenticated judicial sources, we do not warrant that AI-generated summaries will capture every nuances of a multi-volume judicial precedent.

Lawqet retrieves publicly accessible court records, daily cause lists, case statuses, and judicial orders from the official eCourts National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), High Court registry portals, and the Supreme Court of India registry:

1. Public Domain Data: Judicial orders, judgments, statutes, and cause lists are public records under Indian law.
2. "As-Is" Availability: The availability and real-time refresh rates of case tracking alerts depend upon the operational status and uptime of governmental eCourts and National Informatics Centre (NIC) servers. Lawqet shall not be liable for missed hearing notifications caused by court registry server outages, API throttling, or network delays.
3. Bench Roster Supremacy: Advocates are advised to verify urgent court appearances and bench pass-overs directly with the physical cause list displayed by court bench masters.
