⚠ IMPORTANT: AI OUTPUT IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
The Cognexia AI Legal platform is a legal research and productivity tool. All AI-generated content — including legal research, document drafts, case analysis, litigation strategies, compliance reports and all other outputs — constitutes informational content only and does not constitute legal advice. You must always consult a qualified, licensed lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction before acting on any AI-generated output. Cognexia AI accepts no liability for decisions made in reliance on platform outputs without independent legal verification.
By accessing or using the Cognexia AI Legal platform ("Platform", "Service") operated by Cognexiaai LLP("Cognexia AI", "we", "us", "our"), you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Platform. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Refund Policy
Subscriptions are non-refundable except where required by applicable consumer protection law. If you cancel a paid subscription, you retain access until the end of the current billing period. Credits consumed are non-refundable. If the Service is materially unavailable (>24 consecutive hours) due to our fault, you may request a pro-rata credit extension by emailing billing@cognexiaai.com within 7 days.

AI Accuracy Limitations
AI language models may produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or "hallucinated" outputs including fabricated case citations, incorrect statute numbers, or wrong legal interpretations.
