Terms of use

These terms

These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and us for your use of the LexVerity Academy service, an online SQE1 preparation service that we provide as software as a service, accessed through our application and website. By creating an account or using the service you accept these terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Educational Disclaimer and the Refund & Cancellation policy, which are all part of this agreement. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

Your account

You must give accurate information when you register and keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. You must be old enough to enter a binding contract in your jurisdiction.

Nature of the service and access to it

The service is provided online, as software as a service. We do not supply any physical goods, and we do not transfer ownership of any software or content to you; we give you access to the service and a licence to use its content for your own study while your account and plan are active (see Intellectual property and the watermark). We may update, change or improve the service, and may add, modify or withdraw features, from time to time. We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee that access will be continuous or uninterrupted, and access may be suspended for maintenance, updates or matters outside our reasonable control. You are responsible for having the internet access and compatible device needed to use the service.

The service is study material

The service is a self-directed revision aid for SQE1 preparation. It is not legal advice, not official SRA preparation, and not a substitute for the SRA assessment specification and official materials. Content is prepared using AI to extract and organise legal material, reviewed by legally qualified professionals, and checked against primary sources. As with any revision resource, the law changes and you should confirm the current position against primary sources before relying on a specific point; see the Educational Disclaimer. We do not promise any particular examination outcome.

Your responsibility for suitability

You are solely responsible for deciding whether the service is suitable for your needs and whether you have sufficient time and ability to use it to prepare for the assessment. We give general information about what each plan includes so you can make that decision, but we do not assess your individual circumstances, and the decision to enrol and to rely on the service for your preparation is yours.

Plans: Free, Standard, Premium

The app offers a Free tier and two paid tiers, Standard and Premium, priced in GBP and PKR. Current pricing and what each tier includes are shown on the in-app Plans page, which is the single authoritative source for those figures so this page never states a number that can drift out of date. Prices include or exclude tax as stated at the point of sale.

Payment status

Online payment may be provided through a third-party payment processor. Where the current build runs subscribing in a clearly labelled test mode that takes no money, no charge is made and nothing in the billing section below is applied until real payments are switched on and you are told so at the point of sale.

Billing, renewal and cancellation

Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis (for example, monthly or every three months) and renew automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. Before you subscribe we show you the price, the billing frequency, and that the plan renews automatically.

We will send you a reminder before each renewal, in good time, telling you that the plan is about to renew, the amount, and how to cancel. You can cancel at any time from Account settings, by the same straightforward steps as signing up, with no cancellation charge. Cancellation stops future renewals; your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, and no further payment is taken after that.

If you are a consumer in the UK, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you 14 days to cancel a distance contract without a reason. Because a subscription supplies digital content, that right ends once you have expressly asked us to begin supplying the digital content immediately and acknowledged that you lose the right to cancel by doing so; until you give that acknowledgement, the 14 day right applies in full.

Except for the 14 day right above and any remedy the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you, fees already paid for a billing period are not refundable once that period has begun, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period rather than immediately. See also Refund & Cancellation.

Intellectual property and the watermark

All content in the service (rules, explanations, worked examples, the question bank, revision maps, and the software, design and branding) belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. Subscribing gives you a personal, non transferable, non exclusive, revocable licence to use the content for your own study only. You may not copy, publish, share, resell, sublicense, redistribute, or use the content to build or train any product or dataset, in whole or in part.

Every content page is watermarked with an identifier tied to your account. This is a deterrent, not a technical block on screenshots, since no web page can detect or prevent OS level screenshots or screen recording. A leaked copy carries the identity of the account it came from, and we may act on that.

Acceptable use

You agree not to: scrape, crawl or bulk export content; attempt to bypass sign in, plan checks, rate limits or the watermark; reverse engineer the service except to the extent the law does not allow that restriction; upload unlawful, infringing or harmful material; misuse the friends or score-sharing features to contact, harass or harm another learner; use the service to develop a competing product; or use any AI feature to generate unlawful, infringing or harmful output. You are responsible for how you use AI-generated output.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, including for redistributing content, bypassing plan checks, or misusing shared features, and we may remove infringing or unlawful material. Where it is reasonable to do so we will give notice. Your licence to use the content ends immediately on termination. If we close a paid account for a breach that is your fault, we are not required to refund the remainder of the period; if we close it for reasons that are not your fault, we will refund any period you have paid for but not received.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for breach of the terms implied by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that cannot be excluded, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law: we provide the service with reasonable care and skill but do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that any content is accurate, current or fit for a particular purpose; we are not liable for loss arising from your reliance on study content, for any examination result, or for loss of data you have not backed up; and we are not liable for business losses, loss of profit, or any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you entered this agreement.

Subject to the first paragraph of this section (which is not affected), our total liability to you for all claims connected with the service, where any such liability is found or ordered, shall not exceed the greater of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and GBP 20. Nothing in these terms affects your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer.

Views or opinions expressed by any of our staff or contractors, including in study notes, explanations, worked examples or any AI study assistant, are provided for study purposes only and are not advice on which you should act in a real matter. We accept no liability for anything done or not done in reliance on such views or opinions, subject always to the non-excludable liabilities in the first paragraph of this section.

No term in these Terms is intended to be an unfair term against a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and any that turned out to be would not be enforced against you to that extent.

Indemnity

If you are not acting as a consumer, or to the extent the law permits, you agree to cover the direct losses, costs and reasonable legal fees we suffer that are caused by your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service, for example sharing your login, redistributing watermarked content, or using AI output unlawfully. This runs from you to us for your own breach only. It is not a promise by us to cover you, and it does not cover losses caused by our own negligence or our own breach. This does not require a consumer to indemnify us for anything beyond loss they actually and directly caused.

Events outside our control

We are not liable for failure or delay in providing the service caused by events outside our reasonable control, including outages of hosting, authentication, AI or payment providers, network failures, or acts of government. We will take reasonable steps to minimise any disruption. If such an event prevents us from providing a paid plan for a continued period of 30 days or more, you may either continue the plan once service resumes (with the paid period extended by the time lost) or end the plan and receive a refund of the fees for the period you have paid for but not received. This does not affect your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer.

Governing law

These terms and any dispute connected with them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence, and you may be able to bring proceedings there.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service or the law changes. For material changes affecting a paid plan, we will give reasonable notice; continuing to use a paid plan after the change takes effect is acceptance of the update. If you do not accept a material change, you may cancel as set out above.
