3. Description and framework of the Service

3.1. Description and elements of the Service

Within the Service, User questions and uploaded documents are analyzed automatically. Based on this, Lexa identifies relevant legislation and generates plain-language legal answers. The Service may also include optional functions:

  • exporting individual Chat answers or an entire conversation from the Website in Word format;
  • anonymizing uploaded documents before uploading them to Lexa, under the detailed rules of section 4.4;
  • using the Service through Integration, under the detailed rules of section 4.3;
  • using an effective-date filter, allowing the User to specify a date so answers are generated based on legislation in force at that time.

3.2. Database

Answers generated by Lexa are based on current national and European Union legislation, court decisions and authority practice available in the Service for the relevant jurisdiction. The system relies on legal databases and simplifies access to and search within them. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that the Service answers questions according to the time state set by the User, with the default being current law. Checking and setting the correct time state is outside the Provider’s control and is the User’s responsibility. The Provider is not liable for damages arising from incorrect or inappropriate time-state settings.

3.3. Nature of the Service

Lexa aims to support legal orientation and make legislation easier to access and understand. It does not constitute legal practice, does not provide legal representation and does not provide legal advice. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that the Service does not replace the work of an attorney, in-house counsel or other legal professional, especially in court or authority proceedings.

Lexa operates automatically without human intervention. Answers are informative, and the User decides at their own responsibility whether and how to use them.

3.4. Accuracy statement

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly developing field. The Provider continuously works to improve Lexa’s accuracy, reliability, safety and usefulness and to reduce hallucinations. However, because of the probabilistic nature of the technology, Outputs from GPAI models used by Lexa may not always be accurate and may not always reflect relevant legislation. By using Lexa, you acknowledge and accept that:

  • Outputs generated by Lexa may not always be accurate. Users must not rely solely on Outputs as factual information and must not treat them as a substitute for professional advice.
  • Users are responsible for evaluating the accuracy and suitability of generated content before use or distribution, including human review where needed.
  • Lexa may occasionally generate incomplete, incorrect or offensive Outputs that do not reflect the views of Lexa or the GPAI model providers.
  • Lexa’s anonymization feature uses AI-based technology. The Provider makes reasonable efforts to ensure its accuracy, but does not guarantee full or error-free anonymization.
  • Word export of Chat content is created through automated processing; the Provider is not liable for its completeness, accuracy, formatting or legal/professional suitability.

The User acknowledges these limitations and undertakes to use Outputs responsibly and ethically. The Provider limits its liability arising from use of the Service as set out in section 8.

4. General conditions of use

4.1. Registration

Use of the Service requires Registration and creation of a User Account. Data described in the Privacy Notice must be provided. The User may modify registration data until the Account is created and may later modify account data within the User Account. The User must provide true data and is responsible for its accuracy.

4.2. Subscription

The Service is available on a subscription basis. After Trial Use, the registered User may access the Service’s functions without the trial limitations by activating a Subscription. Detailed rules on Trial Use and Subscription are set out in section 5.

4.3. Integration

The Service may allow the User to connect their Subscription to external generative AI services. The Provider may determine and modify the supported Integrations unilaterally.

By activating an Integration, the User allows questions, session context and other information needed for answering to be forwarded from the external third-party service interface to Lexa so that Lexa can generate an answer using its legal database.

The User acknowledges that Integration enables only the forwarding of information necessary for processing the relevant request. The Provider does not access the User’s full external-service account and is not entitled to review other conversations or content in the external service, except where they are forwarded as needed for the Integration. Questions and answers transmitted through the Integration may be processed by the Provider to the extent necessary for operating the Service. Conversations in the external AI service do not form part of the Provider’s Chat History.

Use of external AI services is governed by the relevant provider’s own terms, privacy notices and contractual rules.

The Provider is not liable for the operation, availability, security or data processing practices of external providers, nor for damages, costs, data loss, lost profit or other adverse consequences arising from restrictions, suspension, termination, modification or unavailability of external services or integrations.

4.4. Document upload and anonymization

The User may upload documents for analysis, processing and answer support. The Service may also allow anonymization of uploaded documents. The Provider may unilaterally determine permitted file types and maximum size.

The User acknowledges that uploaded documents may be processed by automated tools, including AI-based technologies, to provide Service functions, especially document analysis, anonymization, legal answer generation, summarization and related functions.

The Provider is not obliged to review uploaded documents for content, lawfulness or upload legal basis and is not liable for infringements arising from User-uploaded documents or their processing. The Provider may refuse to process or may delete documents if there is reasonable suspicion that they contain unlawful content, infringe third-party rights, or create legal or security risks.

Anonymization is optional and remains outside the Provider’s control. Damages arising from failure to use anonymization are the User’s responsibility. The anonymization feature is AI-based and full accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

4.5. Lawful use

The User must use Lexa lawfully and with respect for the rights and legitimate interests of others, including the Provider and third parties. In particular, the User must not:

  • upload or share content infringing intellectual property rights;
  • upload or share attorney-client privileged, business-secret or confidential information in breach of applicable duties;
  • upload unlawful, misleading, harmful, abusive, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate content;
  • attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, copy or otherwise misuse the Service;
  • use the Service to develop a competing service or to circumvent security or access restrictions.

The Provider may take civil and, where applicable, criminal legal steps against unlawful conduct.

5. Trial Use, Subscription, payment and cancellation

The current subscription plans, fees and features are available on the Website. Unless otherwise stated, Subscription Fees are payable in advance for the relevant Subscription Period. The Provider may modify available plans and fees for the future.

The Subscription renews according to the conditions shown during checkout unless cancelled. The User is responsible for keeping payment and billing data accurate.

Consumers may have a statutory withdrawal right under applicable law. Detailed consumer information is provided in section 12.

The User may cancel or modify the Subscription through the User Account or the payment-management interface made available by the Provider.

6. Intellectual property and license

6.1. License

Subject to compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, the Provider grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use Lexa for its intended purpose during Trial Use and the Subscription Period.

During Trial Use and the Subscription Period, the User may:

  • submit Inputs and upload documents through Chat;
  • use, share and distribute Outputs at their own responsibility and for lawful activities;
  • access and use Chat History at their own responsibility;
  • provide feedback, suggestions, comments and bug reports to the Provider.

During a Pause, the User may access and use Chat History as described above and provide feedback.

All other activities are prohibited without the Provider’s prior written permission, including accessing or reverse engineering source code, structure or databases, copying or reproducing the Service, disclosing non-public elements, or using the Lexa name, trademarks or visual identity.

6.2. Copyright status of User Content

For Inputs, the User grants the Provider the usage rights necessary to perform the Service.

Outputs generated by Lexa are available to the User and may be used freely by the User, at their own responsibility and for lawful activities, including legal work. The Provider does not assert exclusive or restrictive copyright claims over Outputs.

For feedback submitted during use of the Service, the User grants the Provider a full, non-exclusive, transferable, free-of-charge, time-unlimited and worldwide usage right for improving the Service.

The GPAI model provider used by the Service does not use User Content for further model development.

7. Data protection

The Provider processes personal data in accordance with applicable law, especially Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

Detailed rules on collection, processing, storage and transfer of personal data are contained in the Provider’s separate Privacy Notice, available on the Website.

8. Warranty and liability

8.1. Provider liability

The Provider warrants that it lawfully provides the User with the possibility to use the Service during the Subscription Period against payment of the applicable Subscription Fee, and that no third-party right exists that would prevent or exclude the User’s licensed use.

The Provider strives to provide a reliable and effective Service. However, except as expressly stated, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without express or implied warranties. The Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, absence of harmful components, or the accuracy, reliability or completeness of information and content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider excludes liability for:

  • content of Inputs and Outputs and their use by the User;
  • errors caused by the User’s internet connection;
  • failures or outages of third-party technologies used by the Service;
  • temporary outages or suspension due to maintenance or other non-breach reasons;
  • damages caused by inaccurate or incomplete User data;
  • accuracy, completeness, timeliness, legality or availability of third-party databases underlying the Service.

For paid services, the Provider’s liability for proven direct damage caused by breach of contract is capped at 100% of the Subscription Fee for the last Subscription Period affected by the breach. The Provider excludes liability for indirect, consequential or incidental damages, lost profits, lost business, goodwill or reputational loss.

8.2. User liability and consequences

The User must use the Service lawfully and in compliance with these Terms and applicable laws. The Provider may suspend or permanently terminate access in case of unlawful, abusive or non-intended use, or non-payment of Subscription Fees.

Consequences may include:

  • warning the User;
  • temporary suspension of the Account;
  • permanent deletion of the User Account;
  • legal action where necessary.

If an Account is suspended or deleted because of unlawful conduct, the User is not entitled to a refund of prepaid Subscription Fees.

If the User breaches any rule and the Provider suffers damage, the User must compensate the Provider in full.

9. Amendment of the Terms

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms unilaterally at any time. Amendments enter into force when published on the Website or otherwise made available to the User, unless a later effective date is specified.

Amendments apply for the future and do not affect previously created legal relationships unless the nature of the amendment requires otherwise.

If you continue using the Service after an amendment enters into force, this is deemed acceptance of the amended Terms. If you do not accept the amended Terms, please cancel your Subscription and stop using the Service.

10. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and legal relationships arising from or connected with use of the Service are governed by Hungarian law, especially Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code. If you are a Consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of your habitual residence.

The Provider and the User aim to resolve disputes amicably through consultation.

If a dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, the competent Hungarian court at the Provider’s registered seat has jurisdiction, unless the User qualifies as a Consumer and mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules apply.

11. Contact

Official communication between the Provider and the User is electronic.

The User may contact the Provider at the e-mail address in section 1 regarding the Service, Subscription, these Terms or any related question.

Provider notices, including notices about contract amendments, Subscription or Service status, are primarily sent to the User’s provided e-mail address or made available through the User Account.

The User must ensure that the provided e-mail address is real and continuously accessible.

12. Consumer-specific provisions

This section applies where the User uses the Service as a Consumer.

12.1. Pre-contractual information

Before conclusion of the contract, the Provider informs the Consumer of the essential characteristics of the Service, Provider details, total price, payment and performance conditions, complaint handling, withdrawal rights, warranty information and customer support, as required by Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights and the applicable national rules on distance contracts.

The essential characteristics of Lexa are set out in section 3 of these Terms. The Website provides current information on available Subscription Periods and Subscription Fees. The fees displayed on the Website include VAT and are shown in the currency indicated on the Website. The full gross amount is shown at checkout, including any taxes and discounts.

The Provider does not apply premium-rate communication charges. Internet or mobile connection costs are payable by the Consumer to their own telecommunications provider.

The Consumer may submit complaints using the contact details in section 1.

12.2. Withdrawal and warranty

Consumers may have a 14-day withdrawal right from conclusion of the contract, subject to applicable law. To exercise the right of withdrawal, please send a withdrawal statement to the Provider electronically.

The Provider does not have a statutory commercial warranty obligation beyond mandatory legal requirements. The Provider operates customer support by e-mail at the address provided in section 1.

Consumer rights and remedies are governed by applicable EU consumer-protection laws and the mandatory provisions of the law of the country of your habitual residence.
