Terms of Use

1. Agreement and eligibility

These Terms govern lawunited.in and related services. By creating an account or using the service, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. You must be at least 18 and legally capable of agreeing.

Professional or “verified” features may require accurate credentials. Verification is a platform trust measure, not an endorsement, guarantee of good standing or substitute for checking status with the relevant authority.

2. Accounts and security

• Provide a valid email and accurate, reasonably current information.
• Use only your own account and Google identity; do not impersonate anyone.
• Protect your password, email and connected sign-in provider and report suspected compromise.
• Do not automate account creation, sell an account, evade suspension or falsely claim verification.

You are responsible for account activity unless it results from a failure attributable to Law United. We may request proportionate information to review credentials, impersonation, abuse or rights requests.

3. Acceptable use

Comply with law, professional duties, court orders and these Terms. Do not submit content that:

• you do not have authority to use, infringes intellectual property, breaches confidence or privilege;
• is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, exploitative, harmful to children, invasive, threatening, discriminatory, harassing or incites violence;
• deceives about origin, impersonates, is knowingly false or misleading, or facilitates fraud or unlawful solicitation;
• contains malware, scrapes without permission, bypasses controls, attacks systems or harvests member information;
• publishes personal or sensitive data without lawful authority; or
• violates professional advertising, bar-council, employment, consumer or anti-spam rules.

Never disclose client identity, strategy, advice, evidence, privileged communications, sealed material or confidential matter details without a clear lawful and professional basis.

4. Content and intellectual property

You own content you create. You grant Law United a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, technically adapt and display it only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve the selected feature. Public content may appear in public directories and search. The licence ends on deletion, subject to backups, legal retention and copies independently retained by others.

You confirm you have all required rights and remain responsible for accuracy and legality. Law United’s branding, software, layout and original materials remain protected.

5. Feature-specific terms

Profiles and firms

Profiles are professional information. Firm administrators must be authorised to act for the organisation.

Publishing and messages

User content states the author’s views and is not legal advice. Check primary sources, dates and jurisdiction. Private messaging is not automatically privileged.

Jobs and events

Employers, applicants and organisers control their listings, checks, decisions, access, cancellation and delivery. Law United does not guarantee a vacancy, party, response or outcome. External links have separate terms.

Website and résumé tools

Review outputs for accuracy, confidentiality, advertising restrictions and third-party rights before publication. You remain the publisher.

Future and paid features

“Coming soon” is not a commitment. Paid services will disclose price, taxes, renewal, cancellation and refund terms before purchase.

6. Reports, moderation and termination

We may investigate, limit, label, preserve, remove or disable content; restrict features; or suspend accounts where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users, comply with lawful directions or maintain security. Where appropriate and permitted, we will give notice and a chance to clarify or appeal.

Serious infringement, impersonation, credential fraud, security abuse or unlawful activity may result in immediate restriction. Relevant records may be preserved and shared with competent authorities as legally required. Reports should identify the exact URL or account, legal basis and reporting authority.

7. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant uninterrupted availability, completeness of user content, professional standing, job or event outcomes, or fitness of generated material. Nothing excludes a mandatory consumer guarantee or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We are not responsible for independent acts of users, employers, organisers, linked sites or third parties. To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for remote or consequential loss that was not reasonably foreseeable. This does not limit fraud, wilful misconduct, confidentiality breach, infringement or other non-excludable liability.

8. Responsibility for claims

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for losses and reasonable costs arising from unlawful content, infringement, breach of confidence, misuse or material breach by you. We will give reasonable claim notice and allow appropriate participation. This does not cover loss caused by Law United’s own breach or misconduct.

9. Changes, Indian law and general terms

Material updates apply prospectively after appropriate notice. Indian law governs. Courts with jurisdiction under applicable Indian law may hear disputes, subject to mandatory consumer forums and statutory remedies. The parties should first attempt good-faith resolution through the grievance contact unless urgent relief is needed.

If one term is unenforceable, the rest continues. Delay is not waiver. You may not transfer this agreement without consent; it may be transferred in a genuine business reorganisation with appropriate notice.

10. Grievance and legal contact

Include the relevant URL, account or feature and a clear description. Never email passwords or unnecessary confidential material. The operator must add its formal legal name, officer name and postal address when those details are available.
