If necessary for your use of the Site, your receipt of services from Lawmee, or your record-keeping purposes, you may download one copy and make a single hard copy of these Terms of Use and of any other page on the Site.

Your above right to download and make copies of materials constitutes the grant of a license, not a transfer of title. The license terminates when you no longer need the materials for the purposes described above, or if you violate any of the Terms of Use.

Lawmee may use your logo to build your opportunity and client profiles on the site, including showing which companies are using the platform, at its discretion.

Liability

The Site and the materials on the Site are provided on an ‘as is’ basis. To the extent permitted by law, Lawmee makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property, or other violation of rights.

In no event shall Lawmee or its suppliers be liable for any loss (including consequential loss) suffered or incurred by you or any third party arising from the use of, or inability to use the Site or the materials or services on the Site, even if Lawmee or an authorised representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.
