Educational Purpose Only

LegalX and the Lexi AI assistant are designed for educational and informational purposes only. The information provided by Lexi is intended to help users understand legal concepts, procedures, and their rights under South African law. This information should not be construed as legal advice, legal representation, or legal services.

Not a Substitute for Legal Advice

Lexi is not a law firm, attorney, or legal practitioner. The Service does not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created between you and LegalX or Lexi through your use of the Service.

For legal advice, representation, or services, you must consult with a qualified attorney licensed to practice law in South Africa. Lexi cannot:

• Provide legal advice on specific matters
• Represent you in legal proceedings
• Draft legal documents for your specific situation
• Provide services that require a license to practice law
• Guarantee outcomes in legal matters

No Warranty or Guarantee

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, LegalX makes no warranties or representations regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information provided by Lexi
• The applicability of information to your specific legal situation
• The outcomes of any legal actions or decisions based on information from Lexi
• The uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service

Laws and regulations change frequently, and legal situations are highly fact-specific. Information that may be accurate for one situation may not be applicable to another.

South African Law Focus

Lexi is specifically designed to provide information about South African law, legislation, and legal procedures. The Service focuses on:

• South African Constitution and legislation
• South African court procedures and practices
• South African legal institutions (e.g., CCMA, Legal Aid SA)
• South African legal concepts and terminology

Information provided may not be applicable or accurate for legal matters in other jurisdictions. If you have legal questions about matters outside of South Africa, please consult with an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

Urgent Legal Matters

If you are facing an urgent legal matter, have a legal deadline, or are involved in ongoing legal proceedings, you should immediately consult with a qualified attorney. Do not rely on Lexi for urgent legal decisions or actions.

Examples of urgent matters include:

• Court appearances or deadlines
• Legal documents requiring immediate action
• Criminal charges or investigations
• Eviction proceedings
• Employment termination disputes
• Family law emergencies

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LegalX, its operators, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Your use or inability to use the Service
• Any decisions or actions taken based on information provided by Lexi
• Any errors or omissions in the information provided
• Any loss or damage resulting from reliance on Lexi's responses
• Any unauthorized access to or use of the Service

AI Technology Limitations

Lexi uses artificial intelligence technology, which has inherent limitations:

• AI responses are generated based on training data and may not always be accurate or complete
• AI may not have access to the most recent legal developments or case law
• AI cannot understand the full context and nuances of complex legal situations
• AI responses should be verified with qualified legal professionals

Always verify critical information with a qualified attorney and do not rely solely on AI-generated responses for important legal decisions.
