Terms of Service

In short: Leksa is a research and drafting assistant, not a law firm and not your advocate. Its output must be verified by a qualified person before being relied upon or filed. You keep ownership of what you create; we keep ownership of the platform.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By creating an account or using leksa.co.tz (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service on behalf of a firm or organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it to these terms.

2. What Leksa is — and is not

Leksa is an AI-assisted research and drafting tool grounded in indexed Tanzanian legal sources.
Leksa is not a law firm, does not practise law, and does not provide legal advice. No advocate–client relationship is created by using the Service.
Every AI-generated answer and draft is provided for informational and drafting-support purposes only and must be independently verified against the current law by a qualified person before being relied upon, signed, served, or filed.

3. Your account

You must provide accurate registration details and keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
Accounts are personal. Sharing one account across multiple practitioners is not permitted unless your subscription expressly allows it.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to further any fraudulent matter;
attempt to breach, probe, or overload the Service's security or infrastructure;
scrape, resell, or systematically extract the Service's content or corpus without written permission;
upload material that infringes another person's rights or that you have no authority to process; or
misrepresent AI output as the reviewed work of a qualified advocate where it has not been reviewed.

5. Confidentiality and client data

You are responsible for complying with your own professional obligations — including those under the Advocates Act and the Tanganyika Law Society rules — when submitting matter details. The drafting tool supports placeholders (e.g. [CLAIMANT NAME], “Party A”) so that structurally complete drafts can be produced without disclosing client identities. We handle what you submit in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6. Ownership

Your content: you retain all rights in the questions you ask, the documents you upload, and the drafts you export.
Our platform: we retain all rights in the Service, its software, design, and its curated corpus and indexes. Statutes and judgments themselves remain public legal materials.

7. Subscriptions, credits and payment

Access is provided through plans and/or usage credits as described on the Pricing page.
Fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated.
We may change pricing with reasonable advance notice; changes apply from your next billing period.

8. Accuracy and limitation of liability

AI systems can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date — including on recent amendments to legislation. You must verify output before relying on it. To the maximum extent permitted by the law of Tanzania, Leksa is not liable for any loss arising from reliance on unverified AI output.

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of completeness, currency, or fitness for a particular matter.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of the Service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or professional-negligence claims arising from use of unverified output.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Availability and changes to the Service

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may improve, modify, or discontinue features with reasonable notice where the change is material to paying subscribers.

10. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, with notice where practicable.
On termination you may export your drafts for a reasonable period, after which data is deleted in line with the Privacy Policy.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Republic of Tanzania. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tanzania, sitting at Dar es Salaam, after a good-faith attempt at amicable resolution.
