If you do not agree to them, you must delete your account before they come into effect, otherwise your use of the site and its content will be subject to the new terms.

• Content rights and responsibilities

  You own the rights to the content you create and post on Legalkite.

  Subject to specific agreements, by posting Public Content on Legalkite, you grant Legalkite a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to publish it on the Paid or Free Services, including anything reasonably related to its publication (such as storage, display, reformatting and distribution). In consideration for Legalkite's access to and use of the Services, you agree that Legalkite may apply machine learning or artificial intelligence to your Public Content to generate new content or to link, combine or compile existing content and publish it on Legalkite.

  Despite the review and validation of your public content by Legalkite or its community, you alone bear all legal consequences related to the content you submit to Legalkite for publication or private archiving. This means that you are personally liable for any third-party claims of alleged or proven infringement of intellectual property rights, as well as any civil claims arising from such claims. This also applies to any criminal or administrative claim related to your public content.

  Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden to store or publish sensitive third-party data (in particular data covered by attorney-client privilege) either as public or private content on Legalkite.

  You may publish on Legalkite content that you have published elsewhere, provided that you have the necessary rights to do so. By publishing content on Legalkite, you represent that this does not conflict with any other agreement you have entered into.

  By posting content on Legalkite that you did not create, you are representing that you have the right to do so. For example, you are posting a work that is in the public domain, is being used under a license (including a free license, such as Creative Commons), or constitutes fair use.

  We may remove any content you post for any reason at any time without notice.
