3. Services Offered

3.1 Overview of LawLinkGlobal Services

LawLinkGlobal is a blockchain-powered legal services platform that facilitates secure and transparent interactions between users and verified legal professionals worldwide. The platform is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Instead, it serves as an intermediary, allowing users to:

  • Connect with verified lawyers for legal consultations.
  • Schedule appointments based on availability set by the lawyers.
  • Communicate securely through the platform’s encrypted chatbox.
  • Conduct transactions using a blockchain-based escrow system to ensure payment security.

LawLinkGlobal operates on Sui Network, utilizing smart contracts to automate transactions and ensure compliance with pre-determined conditions.

3.2 Platform’s Limited Role

LawLinkGlobal’s primary function is to provide a digital environment for lawyers and users to interact. However, users must acknowledge the following limitations:

  • LawLinkGlobal is not a party to any legal relationship formed between users and lawyers on the platform.
  • The platform does not verify the accuracy, quality, or legality of the advice given by lawyers. Users engage with lawyers at their own risk.
  • No attorney-client relationship is automatically established by using the platform. Users must independently verify any agreement they enter into with a lawyer.
  • LawLinkGlobal does not store chat conversations or user-generated legal documents.

Users must exercise their own judgment when selecting a lawyer and proceeding with legal consultations.

3.3 Wallet-Based Authentication & Access

LawLinkGlobal operates exclusively through blockchain wallet authentication. To use the platform, users must:

  • Connect a Sui Network-compatible wallet to access services.
  • Verify ownership of the wallet upon login.
  • Ensure they maintain control of their wallet credentials, as LawLinkGlobal does not store user passwords, recovery phrases, or other sensitive information.

Since users are not required to complete KYC verification, their wallet address is the sole identifier for accessing the platform. All transactions and engagements are linked to the user’s wallet rather than a traditional account-based system.

3.4 Escrow-Based Payment System

LawLinkGlobal integrates a smart contract-powered escrow system to protect users and lawyers during financial transactions. The escrow system functions as follows:

  1. User books a consultation:

    • The user selects an available time slot from a lawyer’s calendar.
    • The consultation fee is displayed in SUI, with a real-time conversion to USDT for clarity.

  2. Payment is secured in escrow:

    • The user makes the payment, which is locked in a smart contract escrow until the consultation is completed.
    • The lawyer cannot access the funds until service fulfillment conditions are met.

  3. Consultation takes place:

    • At the scheduled time, the chatbox is activated, enabling secure lawyer-user communication.
    • LawLinkGlobal does not record or store messages exchanged between parties.

  4. Escrow release conditions:

    • If the consultation proceeds without disputes, the funds are released to the lawyer automatically at the end of the session.
    • If the user reports an issue within the designated dispute window, the escrow remains locked until LawLinkGlobal’s dispute resolution process determines the outcome.
    • If a refund is granted, the funds are returned to the user’s wallet.

By using LawLinkGlobal, users acknowledge and accept the escrow-based payment structure, agreeing that funds will only be released under the conditions outlined above.

3.5 Continuous Platform Enhancements

LawLinkGlobal is committed to continuous innovation and service expansion. While the chatbox-based consultation system is currently operational, the platform is developing additional legal service features, such as:

  • DocPeers – Blockchain-based secure document transfer.
  • Solv – Legal opinion and advisory smart contract service.
  • Dispute Resolution System – AI-assisted case assessment.
  • Dava Funding – Community-driven litigation support.
  • Web3 Legal Integration – DAO governance and DeFi legal solutions.

Users should be aware that new features may be introduced over time, and existing functionalities may be updated to improve user experience and platform security.

4. No Power of Attorney & Platform’s Limited Role

4.1 No Attorney-Client Relationship

Users must explicitly understand and acknowledge that using LawLinkGlobal to communicate with a lawyer does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship. The platform functions solely as a technological intermediary, enabling users to connect with legal professionals in a decentralized, blockchain-secured environment.

  • LawLinkGlobal is not a law firm and does not offer legal advice, representation, or case management.
  • No fiduciary duty or privileged relationship is created between LawLinkGlobal and any user.
  • Lawyers engaged through the platform operate independently, and any professional relationship formed must be established directly between the user and the lawyer, outside the platform’s scope.
  • Users are responsible for verifying whether the lawyer they engage with meets their legal needs and jurisdictional requirements.

4.2 No Power of Attorney Granted

By using LawLinkGlobal, users acknowledge that:

  • The platform does not act as an agent, representative, or power of attorney for users or lawyers.
  • LawLinkGlobal does not have the authority to make legal decisions or intervene in legal disputes on behalf of any party.
  • Any agreements, contracts, or legal actions undertaken as a result of connections made through the platform are solely the responsibility of the involved parties.

Users must exercise their own discretion when engaging with a lawyer and, if necessary, seek additional legal counsel before proceeding with any legally binding commitments.

4.3 Platform as a Neutral Facilitator

LawLinkGlobal’s role is strictly limited to providing a digital space where users and lawyers can interact securely. The platform:

  • Does not interfere with the content, accuracy, or quality of legal advice provided by lawyers.
  • Does not influence or dictate the nature of lawyer-user interactions.
  • Does not monitor or store conversations, ensuring privacy and confidentiality.
  • Does not validate or review legal advice, meaning users must assess the reliability of the lawyers they engage with.

4.4 Users Assume Full Responsibility

Since LawLinkGlobal does not offer legal oversight, users agree that:

  • They are solely responsible for evaluating the qualifications, expertise, and credibility of any lawyer they consult.
  • They must independently confirm any legal advice received before acting upon it.
  • They accept all risks associated with engaging in legal discussions or transactions via the platform.
  • LawLinkGlobal is not liable for any decisions, agreements, or actions taken as a result of consultations through the platform.

4.5 Risks and Limitations

While LawLinkGlobal provides secure infrastructure for lawyer-user interactions, users should be aware of certain inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Jurisdictional Restrictions: Laws vary by country, and advice given by a lawyer in one jurisdiction may not be valid in another.
  • Misrepresentation or Fraud: Although LawLinkGlobal verifies lawyers, the platform cannot guarantee the quality of service provided by any individual lawyer.
  • Smart Contract Execution Risks: Payments are managed through smart contract-based escrow, and once funds are released per platform conditions, they cannot be reversed without a valid dispute claim.

By continuing to use the platform, users accept these limitations and agree to use LawLinkGlobal at their own discretion and risk.

5. Limitation of Liability

5.1 No Guarantee of Legal Advice Quality or Accuracy

LawLinkGlobal provides a decentralized, blockchain-powered platform for users to connect with lawyers. However, LawLinkGlobal does not guarantee, endorse, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, quality, or effectiveness of any legal advice provided by lawyers on the platform.

  • The platform does not verify or evaluate the competence, expertise, or jurisdictional validity of any legal advice given by lawyers.
  • Users engage with lawyers at their own risk and are encouraged to cross-reference legal opinions before taking action.
  • LawLinkGlobal is not responsible for any legal consequences arising from a user’s reliance on information obtained from a lawyer through the platform.

5.2 No Legal Liability for User Decisions

Users acknowledge and accept that:

  • Any decision made based on legal advice received through LawLinkGlobal is entirely their own responsibility.
  • LawLinkGlobal cannot be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from legal consultations.
  • Users assume all risks associated with their legal interactions, including but not limited to misinterpretation, jurisdictional conflicts, or unforeseen legal consequences.

5.3 No Direct Involvement in Lawyer-User Interactions

LawLinkGlobal only facilitates connections between lawyers and users but is not involved in:

  • The content or outcome of consultations.
  • Any agreements, contracts, or obligations arising between users and lawyers.
  • Any disputes or misunderstandings between users and lawyers.

LawLinkGlobal does not mediate legal matters, and any claims related to misrepresentation, negligence, or malpractice must be addressed directly between the involved parties.

5.4 Platform Availability & Technical Limitations

LawLinkGlobal operates on a decentralized blockchain infrastructure, and while we strive to maintain uninterrupted access, users acknowledge that:

  • The platform may experience downtime, errors, or smart contract execution delays beyond LawLinkGlobal’s control.
  • LawLinkGlobal is not responsible for losses resulting from technical failures, security breaches, or blockchain network issues.
  • Users must secure their own wallets and devices, as LawLinkGlobal is not liable for any unauthorized access, hacking, or loss of private keys.

5.5 Smart Contract Risks & Escrow Payments

LawLinkGlobal utilizes automated smart contracts to manage payments securely. Users acknowledge that:

  • Escrow funds are released based on predetermined smart contract conditions.
  • Once a smart contract executes, LawLinkGlobal cannot reverse or modify transactions unless a valid dispute claim is raised within the allowed timeframe.
  • Users must carefully review all transaction details before confirming payments.

5.6 Indemnification Clause

By using LawLinkGlobal, users agree to indemnify and hold harmless LawLinkGlobal, its affiliates, developers, and partners from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising from:

  • Any legal disputes or litigation resulting from consultations.
  • Any unauthorized, illegal, or unethical use of the platform.
  • Any breaches of these Terms of Service by the user.

LawLinkGlobal’s total liability, if any, shall never exceed the total amount paid by the user for services on the platform within the last 90 days.

5.7 "As-Is" and "As-Available" Disclaimer

Users expressly acknowledge that:

  • LawLinkGlobal provides the platform "as-is" and "as-available", with no guarantees regarding availability, security, or suitability for specific legal purposes.
  • LawLinkGlobal makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or timeliness of its services.
  • Users assume full responsibility for their use of the platform and agree that LawLinkGlobal shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, or unfavorable legal outcome arising from its use.

6. User Responsibilities

6.1 Lawful and Ethical Use of the Platform

Users must use LawLinkGlobal solely for legitimate legal consultations and interactions. By accessing the platform, users agree not to engage in any activities that:

  • Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or ethical standards.
  • Involve fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading behavior.
  • Attempt to manipulate, exploit, or abuse the platform’s escrow system, lawyer booking mechanism, or dispute resolution process.
  • Facilitate or promote illegal transactions, money laundering, or any unlawful conduct.

LawLinkGlobal reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to users engaging in unauthorized or unethical activities.

6.2 Respectful and Professional Conduct

Users must engage with lawyers, support staff, and other users in a respectful and professional manner. The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

  • Harassment, threats, hate speech, or discriminatory remarks toward any individual or group.
  • Inappropriate, offensive, or abusive language in communications with lawyers.
  • Any form of spamming, soliciting, or unauthorized commercial activity within the platform.
  • Attempting to bypass LawLinkGlobal’s escrow payment system by arranging payments outside the platform.

Failure to comply with these standards may result in immediate account suspension or permanent termination.

6.3 Security and Account Integrity

Since LawLinkGlobal operates on a wallet-based authentication system, users are solely responsible for:

  • Safeguarding their private keys and wallet credentials.
  • Ensuring they connect only through trusted and secure devices.
  • Not sharing their wallet access or credentials with third parties.
  • Monitoring their transaction history and promptly reporting any unauthorized activities.

LawLinkGlobal does not store passwords, private keys, or any user account details. If a user loses access to their wallet, the platform cannot restore access or recover funds.

6.4 Payment and Financial Responsibility

Users must ensure they have sufficient funds in their wallets before initiating transactions. By using LawLinkGlobal’s services, users agree that:

  • All payments must be completed through the platform’s smart contract-based escrow system.
  • Users cannot request refunds once escrow funds have been released, unless a valid dispute claim is filed within the designated timeframe.
  • Users must comply with cancellation policies to avoid unnecessary penalties.

Any attempt to circumvent LawLinkGlobal’s financial protocols (such as direct off-platform payments) is a violation of these Terms and may result in account termination.

6.5 Confidentiality and Data Protection

While LawLinkGlobal employs end-to-end encryption to protect communications, users are responsible for:

  • Avoiding the disclosure of excessively personal, sensitive, or confidential information unless absolutely necessary for the legal consultation.
  • Acknowledging that LawLinkGlobal does not store chat logs or retain conversation history.
  • Ensuring they only share documents or materials with trusted and verified lawyers.

LawLinkGlobal is not responsible for any information a user voluntarily discloses to a lawyer or third party.

6.6 Independent Legal Actions and Agreements

Users acknowledge that:

  • LawLinkGlobal does not participate in, endorse, or enforce any legal agreements formed between users and lawyers.
  • Any formal contract, retainer agreement, or legal arrangement made outside the platform is strictly between the user and the lawyer.
  • Users are responsible for seeking independent legal advice before signing any legally binding document.

6.7 Compliance with Platform Policies

Users agree to abide by:

  • LawLinkGlobal’s Terms of Service.
  • The Privacy Policy, which governs data handling practices.
  • The Dispute Resolution Process, in the event of payment or service-related conflicts.

Repeated violations or failure to comply may lead to permanent account suspension.

7. Payment & Escrow System

7.1 Payment Methods and Supported Currencies

LawLinkGlobal facilitates all transactions exclusively through cryptocurrency payments, utilizing the Sui Network for secure, transparent, and automated financial processing. Payments on the platform are conducted using SUI tokens, with real-time conversion rates available for reference in USDT. Users are responsible for ensuring that their connected wallets contain sufficient funds before booking a legal consultation, as the platform does not support fiat currency transactions such as bank transfers or credit card payments.

Once a user selects a consultation time and proceeds with payment, the full amount is locked in escrow through a smart contract, ensuring that the lawyer's fee is reserved while also protecting the user. The platform does not function as a financial intermediary but rather as a decentralized mechanism that safeguards transactions until service fulfillment conditions are met.

7.2 Escrow System and Payment Processing

To maintain fairness and security in financial transactions, LawLinkGlobal employs an automated escrow system that ensures funds are held until a consultation is successfully completed. When a user books a session, the corresponding payment is immediately transferred to an escrow smart contract. These funds remain inaccessible to both the user and the lawyer until the consultation is finalized.

Upon completion of the scheduled session, the escrow system triggers an automatic release of funds to the lawyer, finalizing the transaction. However, if an issue arises, users have a designated dispute window during which they may formally contest the consultation outcome. If a dispute is initiated within this period, the escrow funds remain frozen until LawLinkGlobal reviews the claim and reaches a resolution.

Once the dispute window expires without any claims, the transaction is considered fully executed, and no refund or reversal can be requested. Since the platform operates on blockchain-based smart contracts, LawLinkGlobal itself cannot manually alter or reverse completed payments. Users acknowledge that their funds are subject to the conditions set forth in the escrow agreement, and they waive any claim against LawLinkGlobal regarding transaction finality once escrow releases the payment.

7.3 Cancellation and Refund Policy

LawLinkGlobal permits users to cancel their scheduled consultations, but refund eligibility depends on the timing and circumstances of the cancellation. If a user cancels a booking well in advance of the scheduled consultation, they may receive a partial or full refund, with deductions applied as necessary to cover processing fees or cancellation penalties. However, if the cancellation occurs too close to the appointment time, the system may automatically impose a non-refundable cancellation fee, which is deducted from the escrowed funds before processing any refunds.

Once a consultation has taken place, the payment is deemed final and non-refundable, unless a dispute is raised within the permitted timeframe. Users cannot request a refund solely based on dissatisfaction with the legal advice received, as LawLinkGlobal does not guarantee or oversee the quality of services provided by independent lawyers. Refunds are only granted in cases where the consultation did not occur due to technical issues, lawyer non-attendance, or other verifiable service disruptions.

7.4 Dispute Resolution in Payment Transactions

In the event of a dispute concerning a payment or service outcome, LawLinkGlobal provides a structured dispute resolution mechanism to determine whether the escrowed funds should be released to the lawyer or refunded to the user. The dispute process begins when a user submits a complaint within the allotted dispute window, detailing the issue and providing any necessary supporting information.

Once a dispute is lodged, the escrow funds remain locked while LawLinkGlobal conducts an internal assessment. The platform may request additional information from both the user and the lawyer to verify the legitimacy of the claim. If the dispute review determines that the user’s complaint is valid, the escrowed funds will be refunded to the user’s wallet. Conversely, if the complaint is deemed unsubstantiated, the payment will proceed as originally scheduled, and the lawyer will receive the released funds.

All decisions reached through LawLinkGlobal’s dispute resolution process are considered final and binding within the scope of the platform. If either party remains dissatisfied with the outcome, they retain the right to seek alternative legal remedies outside LawLinkGlobal’s ecosystem, but the platform itself will not engage in further mediation beyond the internal review.

7.5 Payment Security and Fraud Prevention

LawLinkGlobal upholds strict security protocols to safeguard user transactions against fraud, unauthorized access, and system abuse. All payments are executed through blockchain-based smart contracts, eliminating the risk of manual interference or financial manipulation. The platform does not store private wallet keys, transaction histories, or personal payment details, reinforcing the privacy and decentralization principles at the core of its design.

Users are responsible for securing their own wallets and must take necessary precautions to prevent unauthorized access or misuse. If a user is found engaging in fraudulent activities, such as initiating chargeback fraud, manipulating escrow conditions, or attempting to bypass the platform’s payment system, their access to LawLinkGlobal may be permanently revoked, with legal action pursued if necessary. The platform maintains the right to flag, suspend, or restrict wallets associated with suspected fraudulent behavior to protect the integrity of the system.

8. Termination of Service

8.1 Grounds for Termination

LawLinkGlobal reserves the right to suspend or terminate a user’s access to the platform under specific conditions, either temporarily or permanently. Termination may occur if a user is found to have violated the Terms of Service, engaged in fraudulent activities, or misused the platform in a manner that undermines its security, integrity, or operational efficiency. The following actions constitute grounds for termination:

  • Engaging in fraudulent behavior, including attempting to circumvent the escrow system, misrepresenting identity, or participating in financial misconduct.
  • Using LawLinkGlobal for unlawful purposes, including money laundering, solicitation of illegal services, or engaging in legal consultations that contravene applicable laws.
  • Harassing, threatening, or behaving unethically toward lawyers, other users, or LawLinkGlobal staff.
  • Attempting to exploit, manipulate, or disrupt the platform’s technical infrastructure, including smart contracts, blockchain transactions, or security measures.
  • Repeatedly initiating bad faith disputes or violating payment policies.

A user’s access may also be terminated if they receive multiple verified complaints from legal professionals regarding misconduct, misuse of legal consultations, or breach of professional engagement terms.

8.2 Process of Termination

If LawLinkGlobal determines that a user has engaged in activities warranting termination, the user will receive a notification via their connected wallet address, outlining the reason for the decision. The platform may, at its sole discretion, provide a warning before enforcing termination, allowing the user an opportunity to correct their behavior. However, in cases involving severe violations, LawLinkGlobal reserves the right to execute an immediate and permanent suspension without prior notice.

Upon termination, the user’s access to the platform and its services will be revoked. Any pending transactions, including escrow-held funds, will be handled on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the nature of the violation and whether the user has outstanding obligations.

8.3 Implications of Termination

Once an account is terminated, the user will no longer be able to access any of LawLinkGlobal’s services. Since the platform operates without storing personal user data, there will be no retention of account information following termination, ensuring compliance with LawLinkGlobal’s privacy-first, decentralized structure.

If a user has ongoing financial transactions at the time of termination, such as funds locked in escrow, the status of those payments will be assessed based on the applicable payment and dispute resolution policies. If a terminated user is found to have engaged in fraudulent financial activities, any escrowed funds may be withheld or redirected in accordance with platform policies.

8.4 Appeals and Reinstatement

Users who believe their access was wrongfully terminated may submit an appeal through LawLinkGlobal’s support system, providing evidence to contest the decision. The platform will review the appeal, taking into account any mitigating factors, and determine whether reinstatement is warranted. However, LawLinkGlobal maintains full discretion in deciding whether a terminated account may be reinstated, and its decision on such matters is final and binding.

8.5 Wallet-Based System and Account Security

Users must acknowledge that LawLinkGlobal is a wallet-based platform and does not rely on traditional account-based authentication methods. As such, maintaining control over one’s wallet credentials is the sole responsibility of the user. If a wallet is compromised, lost, or becomes inaccessible, the platform cannot recover or restore access, and the user will be unable to retrieve any associated privileges.

Users must also recognize that LawLinkGlobal does not provide refunds or compensation for lost access due to wallet mismanagement or termination resulting from breach of these Terms of Service. Once a user’s wallet is suspended or blacklisted from the platform, they will be unable to reconnect using the same wallet credentials.

9. Data Protection & Privacy

9.1 No Personal Data Collection

LawLinkGlobal is designed to operate with minimal data interaction to ensure user privacy. The platform does not collect, store, or process personal user data. All interactions are based on wallet authentication, and no traditional account registration involving personal details is required.

Since LawLinkGlobal does not implement KYC verification for users, access to the platform is granted solely through a connected blockchain wallet. The platform does not track or retain personal identities, addresses, or sensitive data linked to users.

9.2 Privacy in Communication

All communications between users and lawyers take place in a secure, encrypted chat environment. To maintain confidentiality:

  • Chat messages are not stored on the platform after a consultation ends.
  • LawLinkGlobal does not retain logs, conversation history, or consultation records.
  • Users are responsible for protecting any information they choose to share during their interactions.

While the platform ensures end-to-end encryption, users must exercise caution when discussing sensitive legal matters. Any materials, documents, or evidence shared during a consultation should be done at the user’s discretion.

9.3 Blockchain-Based Privacy & Security

Transactions and interactions within LawLinkGlobal are secured through blockchain technology, ensuring transparency and immutability. However, users must recognize that:

  • All payments and escrow transactions are recorded on the blockchain, making them publicly verifiable but pseudonymous.
  • LawLinkGlobal does not store private wallet keys or manage user funds.
  • Users are responsible for securing their own wallets, as loss of access to a wallet means irreversible loss of access to the platform.

9.4 Third-Party Data Access

LawLinkGlobal does not sell, share, or distribute user data to third parties. The platform does not engage in advertising, data tracking, or behavioral profiling. However, users should be aware that:

  • Transactions made on a public blockchain are inherently traceable within the blockchain ledger.
  • Any third-party services users choose to interact with (such as external wallet providers) may have their own data policies beyond LawLinkGlobal’s control.

9.5 Security Responsibilities of Users

Users must take personal responsibility for safeguarding their information by:

  • Keeping wallet credentials private and secure.
  • Avoiding phishing scams, fraudulent links, or unauthorized third-party access.
  • Verifying lawyers independently if sharing sensitive legal documents.

LawLinkGlobal provides the infrastructure for secure interactions but does not intervene in user communications, store consultation records, or recover lost credentials.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1 Ownership of Platform Content

LawLinkGlobal owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the platform, including its design, branding, code, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Users do not acquire any ownership rights by using the platform. Any unauthorized copying, reproduction, or distribution of platform content is strictly prohibited.

10.2 Restrictions on Use

Users may only use LawLinkGlobal for its intended purpose of facilitating legal consultations. No one is permitted to copy, modify, sell, distribute, or commercially exploit any part of the platform without prior written consent. Attempts to reverse-engineer, decompile, or manipulate the platform’s code or smart contracts are also strictly prohibited.

10.3 User-Generated Content

Any content shared by users during consultations, including legal documents or messages, remains the property of the user. LawLinkGlobal does not claim ownership over any user-generated content, nor does it store or retain such materials after consultations conclude.

10.4 Reporting Intellectual Property Violations

If a user believes that their intellectual property rights have been violated through unauthorized use of content on the platform, they may submit a complaint to LawLinkGlobal’s support team. The platform will review such claims and take appropriate action where necessary, including removing infringing content or restricting access to users who violate intellectual property laws.

11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Handling of Disputes

Disputes arising from consultations, payments, or platform use should first be resolved between the involved parties. Users are encouraged to communicate directly with lawyers to address concerns before escalating a dispute through LawLinkGlobal. If a resolution cannot be reached, LawLinkGlobal provides a structured dispute resolution process for escrow-related issues.

11.2 Filing a Dispute

A dispute must be formally submitted within the designated timeframe after a consultation. The user or lawyer initiating the dispute must provide relevant details explaining the issue. Once a dispute is filed, the escrowed funds remain locked until a resolution is determined.

11.3 Dispute Resolution Process

LawLinkGlobal will review the submitted dispute, considering available transaction data, user reports, and any relevant communication. Additional information may be requested from both parties. If the dispute involves a payment or service issue, the platform will assess compliance with its policies and determine whether funds should be released or refunded.

11.4 Final Decision and Further Action

Once a decision is made, the funds will either be transferred to the lawyer or refunded to the user, depending on the case outcome. This decision is final within the platform’s scope. Users who wish to pursue further legal action may do so independently, as LawLinkGlobal does not participate in legal proceedings beyond its internal dispute process.

12. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

12.1 Applicable Law

These Terms of Service, along with any disputes or claims arising from the use of LawLinkGlobal, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which LawLinkGlobal is legally registered. Users acknowledge that the platform operates within a decentralized blockchain framework but remains subject to applicable regulations in its jurisdiction of incorporation.

12.2 Dispute Resolution Jurisdiction

Any legal disputes that cannot be resolved through the platform’s internal dispute resolution process shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the governing jurisdiction. By using LawLinkGlobal, users agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of these courts for any legal action related to platform use, transactions, or service disputes.

12.3 Compliance with Local Laws

Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of LawLinkGlobal complies with the legal and regulatory requirements of their own jurisdictions. The platform does not provide legal guarantees regarding the permissibility of its services in every country or region. If a user’s local laws prohibit the use of blockchain-based legal services, it is their responsibility to refrain from using the platform.

13. Contact Information & Miscellaneous

13.1 Contacting LawLinkGlobal

For any questions, concerns, or support requests related to the platform, users may contact LawLinkGlobal through the official communication channels provided on the website. The platform does not offer direct phone support but ensures timely responses to inquiries submitted via email or the in-platform support system.

13.2 Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, along with any referenced policies, constitute the entire agreement between the user and LawLinkGlobal regarding platform use. They supersede any prior agreements, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral. No additional promises or obligations exist beyond those explicitly stated in this document.

13.3 Waiver and Severability

Failure by LawLinkGlobal to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of its rights. If any part of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Any unenforceable term will be modified to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law while preserving the original intent.

13.4 Language and Interpretation

These Terms of Service are written in English, and all official communications related to LawLinkGlobal will be conducted in English. Any translations provided are for convenience only and do not alter the legally binding nature of the original English version.

13.5 Updates to These Terms

LawLinkGlobal reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes become effective upon publication on the platform. Continued use of the platform after any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Users are encouraged to review the Terms periodically to stay informed about their rights and obligations.
