Terms of Service

1. Scope of Application

These Terms of Service (ToS) govern the business relationship between TechLawRise and clients who use our legal services, legal counsel, and business legal support. By using our services or requesting information through our website, the client accepts these ToS as binding. Deviating agreements must be made in writing and explicitly confirmed by both parties.

2. Service Agreement

Service requests can be submitted through our online contact form, email, phone, or in writing. A legally binding service agreement is only established through our written confirmation or the actual commencement of legal services. For specialized legal services, the service relationship begins with the client's written acceptance of our detailed proposal. We reserve the right to reject requests without explanation or terminate planned consultations if the client's requirements make service delivery impossible. In such cases, all payments made will be refunded proportionally.

3. Scope of Services

The exact scope of our legal services and legal counsel is specified in the respective service description or individual service confirmation. Our range of services includes:

  • Business formation and legal structure services
  • Legal compliance and documentation
  • Regulatory compliance and risk management
  • Legal optimization and strategy
  • Legal counsel and ongoing business support
  • Legal dispute resolution and support

4. Pricing and Payment Terms

All prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and include applicable taxes. Payment for services follows this schedule, unless otherwise agreed:

  • Business formation services: Payment upon service completion
  • Legal compliance services: 50% deposit, 50% upon service delivery
  • Legal counsel programs: Monthly billing after service delivery

5. Cancellation and Schedule Changes

Cancellations and schedule changes must be communicated in writing or by email. The following cancellation policies apply:

  • More than 48 hours before consultation: Free cancellation
  • 24-48 hours before consultation: 50% of service fee
  • Less than 24 hours before consultation: 100% of service fee

A free rescheduling is allowed if requested at least 24 hours in advance. For ongoing legal counsel contracts, a 30-day notice period applies at the end of the quarter.

6. Refund Policy

At TechLawRise, we strive for the highest client satisfaction and maintain a comprehensive refund policy for our legal services:

  • Business Formation Services:  If you are dissatisfied with our formation services, you can request a full refund within 7 days of service completion, subject to review. We may offer additional consultation before processing a refund.
  • Legal Compliance Services: For legal compliance services, you can cancel free of charge before active monitoring begins. Once compliance preparation has started, we offer partial refunds based on completion level and resources invested. If legal compliance services are unsatisfactory after delivery, 50% of fees will be refunded.
  • Legal Counsel Programs: For prepaid legal counsel packages, we offer proportional refunds for unused consultations if you wish to cancel, minus a CAD 250 processing fee. The calculation is based on standard rates, not the discounted package price.
  • Counsel Services: Individual legal consultations can be cancelled up to 48 hours in advance for a full refund. Counsel packages follow the same proportional refund structure as counsel programs.

All refund requests must be submitted in writing with detailed justification. We process valid refund requests within 10 business days. Please note that certain third-party costs or specialized legal assessments may not be refundable. Refunds are processed to the original payment method used.

7. Liability and Warranty

We provide our services with the utmost care and according to professional legal services standards. Our services are based on information and business objectives provided by the client. We assume no liability for damages or disadvantages resulting from incomplete, incorrect, or delayed client information. We recommend a thorough discussion of business objectives before service commencement. Our liability is limited to intentional misconduct and gross negligence, with a maximum compensation of three times the amount paid for services in the last six months.

8. Intellectual Property

All legal methodologies, templates, and counsel frameworks developed by us are copyright protected and remain our intellectual property. Clients receive a simple, non-transferable right to benefit from these services exclusively for their business-related legal needs. Distribution to third parties, reproduction, or commercial use without our express written permission is prohibited. Client materials and business information naturally remain the property of the client.

9. Data Protection

The protection of business and personal data has the highest priority for us. All data collected during service delivery is used exclusively for contract fulfillment and legal services and is processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. Detailed information about data processing can be found in our Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of these ToS. By using our services, you agree to occasionally receive information about legal updates and relevant legal insights. You can unsubscribe from this communication at any time.

10. Final Provisions

Canadian law exclusively governs all contracts. The jurisdiction for all disputes is Toronto. If individual provisions of these ToS are invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the original provision. There are no oral side agreements. Changes to these ToS must be made in writing and will be communicated to you in a timely manner.
