1. Who we are
LawyerUp is operated by Blackwood Fund Australia. By using lawup.com.au you agree to these terms.
2. We are not a law practice
LawyerUp is a technology platform. We don't give legal advice. Advice is given by independent Australian law practices, who are responsible for it. General information on this site, including the guides and state pages, is not advice about your situation.
3. No lawyer and client relationship until you engage a firm
Doing a case check doesn't make any law practice your lawyer. That only happens when you sign an engagement or costs agreement with a practice.
4. Time limits
Legal claims have time limits. Doing a case check doesn't stop them running. If a deadline is close, act on it yourself or tell us straight away.
5. What you give us
Please give accurate information and only upload material you're entitled to share. You keep ownership of what you upload. You permit us to store, process and share it as set out in the privacy policy.
6. Fees
The case check is free. Any fees for legal services are agreed directly between you and the law practice, in writing, before work starts. Any funding arrangement is set out in a separate written agreement.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the site, try to access other people's information, upload malicious files or use the site for anything unlawful.
8. Liability
We provide the platform with due care and skill. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect loss or for advice given by an independent law practice. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
9. Changes and law
We may update these terms and will post the new version here. These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia.
