These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern the use of Lexbell (the "App"), a desktop application for Mac and Windows provided by the Lexbell team ("we"). By downloading, installing or using the App, you accept these Terms.
1. Acceptance
By installing or using the App, you declare that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
2. License
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use the App on the devices (Mac or Windows) you control, solely for lawful purposes within your professional practice.
This license does not include the rights to:
- Copy, distribute or sublicense the App.
- Modify, decompile, reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code, except as permitted by applicable law.
- Remove copyright notices, trademarks or other ownership indications.
- Use the App to build competing products or derivative services.
3. Intellectual property
The App, its texts, designs, source code, icons, trademarks, logos and associated materials are owned by Lexbell or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
4. User content
You retain all rights over the information you enter in the App (cases, contacts, notes, calendar, documents). Because all of it lives locally on your device, we do not receive or store any copy on our servers.
You are responsible for:
- The accuracy and legality of the information you record.
- Complying with your professional confidentiality duties towards your clients.
- Keeping adequate backups of your information (the App provides JSON export and import).
5. Usage restrictions
You agree not to use the App to:
- Engage in illegal, fraudulent or deceptive activities.
- Store content that infringes third-party rights.
- Compromise the security of the App or access unauthorized parts.
- Distribute the App to third parties without our written authorization.
6. App provided "AS IS"
The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted or meet all of your specific requirements.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lexbell will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for loss of profits, revenue, data, opportunities or reputation, arising from the use of or inability to use the App.
Specifically, the App is an organization tool; it does not replace the attorney's professional judgment, deadline compliance or due diligence in handling matters. You are solely responsible for legal decisions and procedural deadlines applicable to your cases.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lexbell against any claim, demand or damage arising from misuse of the App or breach of these Terms.
9. Updates
We may release updates to the App from time to time. Some updates may be mandatory for security or compatibility with new versions of your operating system. We are not obligated to maintain indefinite compatibility with older macOS or Windows versions.
10. Termination
These Terms remain in effect while you keep the App installed. We may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms. You may terminate the license at any time by uninstalling the App. Clauses that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, limitation of liability, governing law) will remain in effect after termination.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect legal, technical or business changes. The date of the last update appears at the top of the document. If changes are material, we will notify you via an in-app notice or at this same URL.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Dominican Republic, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising from the use of the App will be submitted to the competent courts of the National District, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights where you reside.
13. Subscription and in-app purchases
Lexbell can be used for free up to a certain number of cases. Unlimited features are offered through Lexbell Premium, an auto-renewable annual subscription.
- The price and duration are shown in the app before purchase and on the App Store purchase screen.
- Payment is charged to your Apple account upon confirming the purchase.
- The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time in your App Store account settings.
