Terms of Service

1. Parties and scope

These terms are between Frontier Legal, identified at the foot of this page, and the organisation using the service.

The service covers case-law and legislation search, a legal research assistant, document drafting, and matter management.

If you accept on behalf of your organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it. An unauthorised acceptance does not bind the organisation and is grounds for suspending the account.

2. Who may use it

The service is for professional use only: lawyers, law firms, in-house legal teams, and their staff.

It is not offered to consumers and may not be used in a consumer capacity. You may use it only for your professional or business activity.

You must be 18 or older and keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.

3. How the agreement is formed and recorded

The agreement is formed when you accept these terms and the Data Processing Agreement annexed to them, by ticking the box at signup. No signed copy needs to be exchanged; both texts are published on this site.

We record your acceptance: the accepting organisation and user, the date and time, and the version of the text accepted. The version is the effective date shown at the top of the documents; the text in force is published on this page, and earlier versions are available on request.

You separately confirm that you have read our privacy notices. That confirmation is not consent; which processing rests on which legal ground is set out in the Privacy Policy and the KVKK notice.

4. Order of precedence

Our relationship is made of several documents. If they conflict, this order applies: a signed order form or negotiated agreement first, then the Data Processing Agreement and any cross-border transfer contract, then these Terms of Service, then anything else in the product or on the website.

Marketing material, presentations and website pages create no contractual obligation.

5. The service is not legal advice

Frontier Legal is a research and drafting tool. It does not give legal advice, does not practise law, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship with us.

Nothing the service produces substitutes for a lawyer’s judgment. Professional responsibility remains with the user in every case.

6. Verifying outputs

The service uses artificial intelligence. Its outputs may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong, and may cite a decision that does not exist. We make no warranty as to their accuracy, completeness, or currency.

Before you rely on an output, put it in a filing, or pass it to a client, verifying it against the source is your obligation. The service tries to link citations to the source text to make that easier. It does not promise to do so for every citation, and it does not perform the verification for you.

The service does not interpret the law in force and does not predict the outcome of a dispute.

7. Source material

The corpus consists of decisions and regulations published publicly by courts and public authorities, republished here for search and access.

We do not warrant that a source text matches the official record exactly. Differences can arise from transfer, formatting, or text extraction. Where there is any doubt, the publishing authority’s official version governs.

8. Beta

The service is currently in beta. Features, plan contents, and usage limits may change, be limited, or be withdrawn. We make no commitment as to availability, uptime, response time, or support, and there is no service level agreement.

Prices published during beta are launch prices and may change later. Price changes are notified by email a reasonable time before they take effect.

9. Acceptable use

You may not use the service for any unlawful purpose or in a way that infringes the rights of others. You may upload only content you have the right to upload and to have us process.

Your account may not be shared. Each user signs in as themselves; credentials used by more than one person make billing and access records meaningless, and are grounds for suspension.

Every plan carries a monthly search allowance, published on our pricing page. It resets at the start of each billing month (UTC); unused searches do not carry over. On the Ofis plan the allowance is counted per paid seat and pooled across the firm. Searches the Asistan and Derin Araştırma run on your behalf are not deducted from it.

As a technical measure, at most 3 search requests per minute are served per user. This limit is the same on every plan and exists to keep the service stable; requests beyond it are refused temporarily.

You may not bulk download, reconstruct, or copy the corpus; access the service by automated means; work around usage limits, rate limits, or access controls; reverse engineer the service; resell it; or sublicense it.

You may not use the outputs or the source data to train, fine-tune, or distil an AI model.

You may not use outputs for automated decisions that produce legal effects for a person, or similarly significant effects, without meaningful human review.

Breaching this clause makes the suspension rights below immediately available to us.

10. Your content and confidentiality

The documents you upload and the text you produce remain yours. We process them only to provide the service, and never to train an AI model.

For personal data you are the controller and we are your processor, acting on your instructions. That relationship is governed by the Data Processing Agreement you accept at signup, which forms part of these terms.

See the Privacy Policy, the KVKK notice and the Security page for detail.

11. Client content and AI processing

Text you send to the AI features is processed for model inference by our subprocessor Fireworks AI, Inc. in the United States. This applies to every AI feature you use.

A Data Processing Addendum is in force between us and Fireworks as part of their terms of service. Under it Fireworks must not retain prompt inputs or model outputs beyond the lifecycle of the request, must not use that data to train or fine-tune any model, must report a security incident within forty-eight hours, and must give thirty days' notice of a subprocessor change. It incorporates the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (2021/914, Module Two).

Fireworks publishes its current security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001) and its subprocessor list in its own trust centre: https://trust.fireworks.ai . If you find that link broken, or its contents different from what we describe here, tell us at lagel.reitnorf@ofni. We check it periodically too.

The product contains a masking layer that can strip client identifiers before text leaves us. It is not switched on. These terms make no claim that any content is masked before it is sent.

For transfers from Türkiye: your firm is the controller and we are the processor, and we sign the standard contract published by the Personal Data Protection Board. The text is fixed by the Board and cannot be varied. Ask us and we will return a signed copy; the obligation to notify the Authority within five business days of signature rests with the transferring party unless the contract assigns it otherwise. Fireworks has, under its own terms, agreed to enter into an equivalent mechanism adopted by the authority of the exporting country.

Special category data is the exception. Before sending files containing health, criminal conviction, biometric or comparable special category data to the AI features, you need our written agreement: our subprocessor's terms do not cover those categories by default.

12. Intellectual property

The software, interface, data model, and all rights in them belong to us. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use them in line with these terms.

You may use the outputs you generate freely in your professional practice.

13. Fees

Current prices and usage limits of paid plans are published on our pricing page. The free plan is not charged, and signup never asks for a card.

Payments are invoiced through our merchant of record, established outside Türkiye. For businesses resident in Türkiye, VAT is self-assessed by the buyer under the reverse-charge mechanism.

Prices and plan contents may change, including during beta; material changes are notified before they take effect.

14. Limitation of liability

The service is provided as is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no warranty of any kind, express or implied, is given, and we do not promise that the service will run without interruption, be free of error, or produce any particular result.

We are not liable for indirect loss, lost profit, lost business or clients, reputational harm, loss of data, or loss arising from a third party’s use of an output.

Our total liability in any event is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. While the service is free, that limit is five hundred euros.

These limits do not apply to intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or anything else that cannot be limited under mandatory law. Nothing here waives your statutory or regulatory rights, or your right to complain to a supervisory authority.

15. Indemnity

You agree to cover third-party claims arising from your use of the service in breach of these terms or of the law, from content you uploaded without the right to do so, or from your use of an output you did not verify.

We notify you of such a claim without undue delay. We may ask you to take over the defence; if you do, you conduct it reasonably and do not settle in a way that waives our rights without our consent. If we conduct the defence, you cooperate to a reasonable extent.

16. Suspension and termination

We may suspend your account or terminate the agreement if these terms are breached, in particular the acceptable use clause, or if your use threatens the security of the service or its other users. We give notice beforehand where we can, and immediately afterwards where we cannot.

You may close your account at any time. You can export your data before closing.

What happens to your data after closure is described on the Security page: uploaded originals are deleted at once and irreversibly, and your database records leave the encrypted backups within thirty days.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes are notified to your account email at least thirty days before they take effect. If you do not accept a change, you may close your account before that date; continuing to use the service after notice means you accept the updated terms.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. The courts of Amsterdam have jurisdiction over any dispute.

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it applies only so far as it validly can, and the remaining provisions stay in force.

19. Language

The Turkish version of this text is provided for convenience. If the Turkish and English versions conflict, the English version governs.
