Software Licence Agreement & Terms of Service

1. Licence Grant

Luris grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Software for your internal professional or organisational purposes.

You may:

• install and use the Software within your organisation
• allow authorised employees and contractors to access it
• process your own documents and data

You may not:

• resell, sublicense, rent, or distribute the Software
• provide the Software as a service bureau to third parties
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
• remove copyright or proprietary notices
• copy or reproduce the Software except for backup purposes

All intellectual property rights in the Software remain the property of Luris Pty Ltd.

2. Account Responsibility

You are responsible for:

• maintaining account security
• managing authorised users
• ensuring appropriate access controls within your organisation

You must immediately notify Luris of any suspected unauthorised access.

3. Nature of the Software

The Software provides analytical, training, and document-assistance tools.

It does not:

• provide legal advice
• replace professional judgment
• create a solicitor-client relationship
• guarantee compliance with legislation or court rules
• guarantee enforceability of a legal document
• guarantee that a limitation period is correctly calculated

All outputs are assistance tools only. You remain solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving all work product.

4. Professional Responsibility

You acknowledge: Legal practice requires independent professional judgment. You must not rely on the Software as a substitute for legal reasoning, statutory interpretation, procedural verification, or professional supervision. You agree the Software is a decision-support system, not a decision-maker.

5. Customer Data and AI Outputs

You retain ownership of all documents, case materials, and information you input into the Software ("Customer Data").

You also own the specific outputs and work product generated by your use of the Software (such as generated questions, redactions, or calculations), subject to Luris retaining all intellectual property rights in the underlying Software, algorithms, and machine learning models.

Luris:

• does not claim ownership of Customer Data or your generated outputs
• does not access Customer Data except for support requested by you, system maintenance, or legal requirements
• does not use Customer Data to train public artificial intelligence systems

You are responsible for ensuring you are legally permitted to upload and process the information.

6. Security and Hosting

Where hosted deployments are used:

• data may be stored on Australian infrastructure
• access is controlled through authenticated accounts
• organisational data is logically segregated

You are responsible for appropriate use within your professional confidentiality obligations.

7. Updates and Changes

Luris may provide:

• security patches
• updates
• feature modifications

We may modify or discontinue features where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, or operational reasons. If Luris removes a material core feature of the Software that significantly disadvantages you, you may terminate this Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees for the remainder of your subscription term.

8. Support

Support services may be provided according to your subscription tier.

Luris does not guarantee:

• uninterrupted availability
• compatibility with all third-party software
• continuous uptime

9. Fees and GST

Where fees apply:

• subscription fees are payable in advance
• licences may be suspended for non-payment
• fees are non-refundable except as required by Australian law or this Agreement

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all fees are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). You must pay any applicable GST upon receipt of a valid tax invoice from Luris.

10. Acceptable Use

You must not use the Software:

• for unlawful purposes
• to process data you are not authorised to hold
• to attempt security testing without permission
• to upload malware or harmful content
• to interfere with system operation

Luris may suspend accounts for misuse.

11. Warranties (Australian Consumer Law)

Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

Where the Software is supplied to a business, and permitted by law, Luris limits its liability for failure to comply with a statutory guarantee to:

• resupply of the Software; or
• payment of the cost of resupply.

12. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available."

Luris makes no warranty that:

• outputs are correct
• documents are compliant
• advocacy performance will improve
• filings will be accepted by a court
• fees will be recoverable
• limitation dates are accurate

You must independently verify all results.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Luris is not liable for:

• professional negligence claims
• missed limitation periods
• court rejection of documents
• fee disputes or taxation outcomes
• regulatory complaints
• disciplinary proceedings
• loss of clients
• reputational harm
• indirect or consequential loss
• loss of profits or revenue
• loss of data (where you control storage)

Total liability is limited to the fees paid by you to Luris in the 12 months preceding the claim.

14. Indemnity and Proportionate Liability

You indemnify Luris against claims arising from:

• your legal work
• your professional services
• your use of outputs
• breach of confidentiality obligations
• unauthorised data processing

However, your liability to indemnify Luris under this section will be reduced proportionately to the extent that Luris's own negligence, breach of this Agreement, or unlawful conduct directly contributed to the claim.

15. Suspension and Termination

Luris may suspend or terminate access where:

• fees are unpaid
• misuse occurs
• security risk exists
• required by law

You may cease using the Software at any time by uninstalling and closing your account.

Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party commits a material breach and fails to remedy that breach within 30 days of receiving written notice.

Upon termination, your licence ends immediately.

16. Confidentiality

Both parties agree not to disclose confidential information received from the other, except where required by law.

17. Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises under this Agreement, the parties must first attempt to resolve it through good-faith negotiations for a period of at least 14 days before commencing formal litigation. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent interlocutory or injunctive relief.

18. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

19. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software and supersedes prior understandings.
