- Scope of our LEXITUP Services
- The LEXITUP Platform is an online marketplace that enables Members and certain third parties who offer or require Legal Services to place a Listing or publish such Legal Services on the LEXITUP Platform and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking an appropriate provider or providers of such Legal Services. LEXITUP does not provide or offer to provide Legal Services.
- You acknowledge that as the provider of the LEXITUP Platform, LEXITUP does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Legal Services. Consultants alone are responsible for their Listings and Consultant Services. When a Client and a Consultant agree to Engage the Consultant to provide the Consultant Services to the Client, they are entering into a contract directly with each other in respect of that Engagement. LEXITUP is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between those Members in respect of the Engagement. Nor is it acting as an agent or in any other capacity for any Member in relation to the creation, sale, offer, provision or supply of any Listings or Legal Services.
- By registering as a Consultant or Client on the LEXITUP Platform: (a) you agree to engage LEXITUP to provide you with the LEXITUP Services.
- We do not endorse any Member, Listing, Member Content, Review, Rating or Consultant Services. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process required prior to their registration as a Member and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, approval, recommendation, certification or guarantee by us about any Member, including of the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to Engage the relevant Consultant, to accept the offer of Engagement from the relevant Client, to use the Consultant Services, or to communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person.
- Your relationship with us in relation to your use and access of the LEXITUP Platform is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of LEXITUP for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of LEXITUP.
- The LEXITUP Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources. Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. LEXITUP is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services, or any fraud or other crime facilitated thereby. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by LEXITUP of such Third-Party Services.
- Due to the nature of the internet, LEXITUP cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the LEXITUP Platform. LEXITUP may restrict the availability of the LEXITUP Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the LEXITUP Platform. LEXITUP may improve, enhance and modify the LEXITUP Platform and introduce new LEXITUP Services from time to time.

- User verification on the internet is difficult and we do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Member’s identity, qualification and/or experience. Notwithstanding the above, for transparency and fraud prevention purposes, and as permitted by applicable laws, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask Members to provide a form of government identification or other information or undertake additional checks designed to help verify the identities or backgrounds of Members; (ii) screen Members against third party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers; and (iii) where we have sufficient information to identify a Member, obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or an equivalent version of background or registered sex offender checks in your local jurisdiction (if available).
- The access to or use of certain areas and features of the LEXITUP Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these General Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the LEXITUP Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise.
