These Terms govern your use of our platform, which provides AI-driven legal assistance, document templates, and a solicitor referral service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our services.
2. Our Services
FirmLink provides AI-driven legal support tools to assist users with general legal information, customisable document templates, and a solicitor referral system. The AI tools offer initial guidance but do not replace the advice of a qualified solicitor. The referral system connects you with solicitors for formal legal representation, but we do not participate in the solicitor-client relationship.

To use our services, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Use the services for lawful purposes.
- Agree to these Terms.

Users must ensure that the information provided to FirmLink is accurate and up-to-date. You are responsible for your interactions with solicitors you are referred to via our platform.
6. No Legal Advice
The content and tools provided by FirmLink are for informational purposes only and do not constitute formal legal advice.

Always consult with a qualified solicitor for advice tailored to your circumstances.
7. Referrals to Solicitors
When you are referred to a solicitor through our platform, the contractual relationship is solely between you and the solicitor. FirmLink is not responsible for the advice, actions, or services provided by solicitors. Any disputes should be resolved directly with the solicitor.
