Preliminary Provisions

 

These Terms govern your use of our websites and public content, and the general framework for the paid work we provide.

 

They are written to be read. Each section has a plain heading telling you what it covers.

 

Two things to note before you start.

 

If you are engaging us for paid consultancy work, the written Engagement Terms issued for that work govern it. Where those Engagement Terms and these Terms conflict, the Engagement Terms prevail. See Section C.

 

If you have purchased a Digital Resource, separate terms apply to it. See Section D.

In these Terms, "we," "us" and "our" mean Legally She Can GmbH.

2. What these Terms cover

These Terms apply to your use of, access to, and purchase from:

• www.legallyshecan.com
• www.legallyfluentacademy.com
• www.thetrustwright.com
• their sub-domains and affiliated pages
• our accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X

(together, the "Sites").

 

3. Definitions

These Terms use four separate categories. Different rules apply to each, so the category matters.

 

"Public Content" means everything we publish or send without charge: website pages, articles and blog posts, the Legally Fluent Podcast, newsletters and email sequences, free downloads, webinars, social media posts, and any other material made available at no cost.

 

"Digital Resources" means paid self-serve materials, including templates, guides, workbooks, e-books and recorded course material, whether delivered by download or through the Portal.

 

"Diagnostics and Sessions" means bounded paid work with a defined output, including diagnostics, audits, reviews and strategy sessions.

 

"Consultancy Engagements" means individually scoped paid consultancy work performed under written Engagement Terms.

 

"Engagement Terms" means the written scope we issue for a Diagnostic, Session or Consultancy Engagement, setting out what is covered, the fee, and the timeline.

 

"Portal" means any membership or client area on the Sites that requires a username and password.

 

"Materials" means all four categories together, where a provision genuinely applies to all of them.

 

4. Who these Terms apply to

These Terms apply to everyone who uses, visits, views, downloads from, purchases from or accesses the Sites.

 

For the purposes of Section U (Complaints and disputes) only, we distinguish:

 

"Business User" means a person acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession, including anyone purchasing Diagnostics and Sessions or entering a Consultancy Engagement.

 

"Consumer" means a person acting wholly outside their trade, business, craft or profession.

 

Our services are designed for founders and experts serving clients in Switzerland and the EU. We recognise, however, that Public Content is read by people who are not yet in business, and the distinction above exists to give those readers the treatment the law requires.

 

5. Your agreement

By using, visiting, viewing, downloading from, purchasing from or accessing the Sites or the Materials, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

 

You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and have the authority to enter into these Terms.

 

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Sites.

 

 

A. Site rules

We ask you to use the Sites reasonably and lawfully. You agree not to:

1. harm, stalk, defame, threaten, harass, abuse or violate the privacy or legal rights of another person through or on the Sites;
2. post, upload, distribute or publish material that is defamatory, obscene, unlawful or indecent;
3. use the Sites in any way that causes damage to us, to the Sites, or to another user;
4. send unsolicited email to our users, or post unsolicited promotional content;
5. upload any file containing a virus, worm or other harmful code;
6. transmit, share, download or post content that infringes our intellectual property rights or those of another person;
7. use any of the Materials to violate any law or regulation.

 

We may disclose material you have posted or information you have provided where necessary to comply with a legal or governmental request.

 

 

B. Accurate information

To download from or purchase through the Sites, you may need to provide personal information including your name, email address, billing address and payment details. Our handling of that information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

 

You agree to provide complete, accurate and current information when you register, purchase, access or download.

 

You must not create a false identity or enter an agreement in someone else's name.

 

 

C. Paid work is governed by written Engagement Terms

This section takes precedence over the rest of these Terms wherever paid work is concerned.

 

Public Content does not create a client relationship. Reading, subscribing to, downloading or otherwise using Public Content does not create a client engagement, a mandate, or any professional relationship between you and us.

 

Paid work is governed by a written scope. Diagnostics, Sessions and Consultancy Engagements are performed under Engagement Terms issued and agreed in writing before the work begins. Those Engagement Terms set out what is covered, the fee, and the timeline.

 

No work begins before the scope and fee are confirmed and paid. After we receive your request and the relevant documents, we confirm the scope, the fee and the expected delivery date. Work begins once that scope is agreed and payment has been received.

 

Engagement Terms prevail. Where the Engagement Terms for a specific piece of work conflict with these Terms, the Engagement Terms govern that work. These Terms continue to govern your use of the Sites and of Public Content.

 

Where a matter falls outside our scope, we say so. See Section E.

 

 

D. Digital Resources

Digital Resources are governed by their own separate terms available at the checkout page of the digital resource.

 

Those separate terms govern licensing, permitted use, refunds and access for Digital Resources. Where they conflict with these Terms in relation to a Digital Resource, they prevail.

 

 

E. What we do and what we do not do

Our work covers contracts and client agreements, website legal policies, data protection compliance, the legal and operational readiness of client-facing AI tools and chatbots, trademark and brand protection, and crossroads decisions in business relationships.

 

Services are delivered in English.

 

TrustWright is a separate service and is not legal work. TrustWright concerns whether a founder or business is consistently identified, understood, verified and recommended by machines. It is not legal compliance, SEO, branding or marketing, and it is not advice on Swiss law. Sections C, G, H, J, N, O, P, Q and U apply to it as paid work. This section's description of legal scope does not.

 

We do not take on:

• representation before courts or authorities
• employment disputes and worker-classification matters
• tax
• immigration
• criminal matters
• corporate transactions and M&A
• enterprise procurement

 

Where your matter requires work outside our scope, or requires advice on a legal system we do not advise on, we tell you and identify the type of support you need instead. We will not carry out work outside our scope, and we do not accept responsibility for matters we have told you fall outside it.

 

 

F. Public Content is general information

Public Content is general information and strategic guidance. It is not legal advice for your specific situation, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own facts.

 

Public Content is necessarily general. We do not warrant that it is applicable to your situation, your business model, or your circumstances.

 

No lawyer-client relationship and no legal mandate is formed by your use of Public Content. Such a relationship is formed only where we confirm an engagement in writing, setting out scope, subject matter and fees.

 

Where you act on Public Content without engaging us, you do so on your own assessment and at your own responsibility.

 

This section applies to Public Content only. It does not limit the professional care we owe you under an Engagement. Work performed under Engagement Terms is advice on your matter, provided with the care and skill reasonably expected of a professional providing that work.

 

 

G. Confidentiality

Your information. Information you provide to us for the purpose of a Diagnostic, Session or Consultancy Engagement is treated as confidential. This includes contracts and drafts, client and customer information, commercial terms, business plans, data maps, vendor and supplier arrangements, and anything else you disclose in the course of the work.

 

We will not disclose that information to any third party except:

1. with your consent;
2. to a person we engage to assist with your work, who is bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations;
3. where we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority.

 

This obligation continues after the work is completed.

 

Our information. Materials and deliverables we provide to you, and the methods and frameworks underlying them, are confidential to us to the extent they are not publicly available. Section J governs your rights to use deliverables in your business.

 

Public examples. We do not publish, describe or refer to your matter in any public example, article, podcast episode, case study or marketing material without your separate written consent. Consent given for one use is not consent for another.

 

 

H. Recordings

Sessions and Engagements. Where a Review, Diagnostic, Session or Engagement call is recorded, we tell you before recording begins and we record only with your agreement. Recordings of that work are made for the purpose of delivering the work and are treated as confidential under Section G.

 

We do not use recordings of your paid work for marketing, advertising, promotion or as testimonial material without your separate, specific, written consent. Unless our agreement states otherwise, you may withdraw that consent for future use at any time by writing to strategy@legallyshecan.com.

 

Public webinars, workshops and events. Where a session is open to the public, we may record it and use the recording for the delivery, promotion and future provision of our work. We tell you in advance where this applies. If you do not wish to appear, you may attend without your camera or microphone active, or ask us not to include you.

 

Material you submit publicly. Where you submit a comment, post, image, video or other contribution to a public area of the Sites or to our public social media accounts, you confirm that you own it or are entitled to submit it, and you grant us a non-exclusive licence to display and reproduce it in connection with the Sites and our work. You may ask us to remove it at any time.

 

 

I. Our intellectual property

The Sites, the Materials, and all intellectual property in them, including copyright, trademarks, designs and proprietary information, are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by Swiss and international intellectual property law.

 

Our name, our offer names, logos, slogans, designs and taglines are our marks and may not be used without our written permission.

 

Your use of the Materials does not transfer to you any right, title or interest in that intellectual property, except as expressly granted in these Terms or in the applicable Engagement Terms.

 

Sharing Public Content. You may share Public Content, provided that you:

1. link directly to the source on our Sites;
2. credit us as the author, by name or by our social media handle;
3. do not present the content as your own or as created for you;
4. do not represent or imply an association with, or endorsement by, us.

 

For any use beyond this, write to strategy@legallyshecan.com.

 

 

J. Your rights in deliverables

Deliverables produced for you under an Engagement, including annotated documents, written diagnostics, drafted or revised contracts and written recommendations, are provided for use in your business.

 

You may:

• use them for the business and purpose for which they were produced;
• share them with your professional advisers, your counterparties and your own team, where doing so is part of that use;
• amend and adapt them as your business changes, understanding that we are not responsible for a version we did not produce.

 

You may not:

• resell, license, distribute or publish them as a product or template;
• share them as a resource with other businesses;
• use them as the basis of a competing product, template library or programme.

 

Where an Engagement provides for different or wider rights, the Engagement Terms govern.

 

 

K. Misuse of our intellectual property

If you use our intellectual property without authorisation, or in a way that exceeds an authorisation we have given, we may pursue all remedies available to us, including damages, an account of profits, and injunctive relief.

 

You accept that unauthorised use of our intellectual property is likely to cause us harm that damages alone may not adequately compensate, and that we may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy.

 

Section U.3 applies to any dispute under this section.

 

 

L. Third-party links

The Sites may link to third-party websites and services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, their products or services, or their privacy practices. Follow those links at your own assessment.

 

 

M. Portal access

Where you are given access to the Portal, you are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential and for activity under your account.

 

Do not share your credentials or allow another person to use your access.

 

Where we have reasonable grounds to believe credentials have been shared to give unauthorised access, we may suspend or terminate that access. Where the access relates to paid work, we will tell you why, and Section N applies to any fee consequence.

 

 

N. Fees and payment

Payment in advance. Reviews, Diagnostics, Sessions and Consultancy Engagements are paid in advance. Work begins once payment has been received.

 

Fees. The fee for each piece of work is confirmed in the Engagement Terms before payment. Fees are stated in the currency shown at the point of booking.

 

Payment methods. Payment may be made by the methods offered at booking. You will receive a receipt by email.

 

Additional work. Work beyond the agreed scope is quoted and agreed separately in advance. We do not carry out unscoped work and invoice for it afterwards.

 

Chargebacks. Where you consider that something has gone wrong, contact us first at strategy@legallyshecan.com. Raising a chargeback without contacting us is a breach of these Terms, and we may recover the associated costs and fees.

 

 

O. Cancellation, rescheduling and refunds

Before work begins. You may cancel a booked Diagnostic, Session or Engagement before work begins, and we will refund the fee, less any costs already incurred and third-party fees already paid on your behalf, which we will identify.

 

Rescheduling. A scheduled session may be rescheduled once at no charge, on at least [X] hours' notice. Later notice, or a second reschedule, may be charged at [X] of the fee. Where you do not attend a scheduled session and have not told us in advance, the fee is not refundable.

 

After work begins. Once work has begun, the fee is refundable only to the extent of work not yet performed. Where the work is a single bounded output, it is not refundable once that output has been produced and delivered.

 

Where we cannot proceed. Where we decline to continue, or the matter turns out to fall outside our scope, we refund the fee for work not performed.

 

Consumers. Where you are a Consumer and a statutory right of withdrawal applies to your purchase, that right applies regardless of this section. Where you ask us to begin work within the withdrawal period, you may be liable for the value of the work performed before you withdraw.

 

 

P. Your responsibility for your own decisions

You are responsible for the decisions you take in your business.

 

Our work is based on the documents, facts and instructions you give us. We do not independently verify what you tell us unless the Engagement Terms say we will. Where the information you provide is incomplete or inaccurate, our conclusions may be affected, and we are not responsible for that.

 

Implementation is yours unless the Engagement Terms provide otherwise.

 

We do not guarantee any business, commercial or financial outcome. Testimonials on the Sites describe the experience of individual clients and are not a representation that you will achieve the same result.

 

 

Q. Limitation of liability

What is not limited. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for unlawful intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Swiss law.

 

Public Content and the Sites. The Sites and Public Content are provided as they are. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, Public Content or the Sites, or from any interruption or unavailability of the Sites.

 

Paid work. For Diagnostics, Sessions and Consultancy Engagements, our liability is as set out in the applicable Engagement Terms. Where the Engagement Terms are silent, our liability for slight negligence is limited to the fee paid for the work in question, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, or loss of anticipated savings.

 

Third parties. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of third parties you engage, including software providers, developers, hosting providers and payment processors, or for third-party content linked from the Sites.

 

 

R. Indemnity

Where a third party brings a claim against us arising from your breach of these Terms, or from your unauthorised use of our intellectual property, you will indemnify us against the loss, liability and reasonable costs we incur as a result.

 

This section does not apply to Consumers.

 

We will tell you promptly of any such claim and will not settle it without consulting you.

 

 

S. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Sites, the Portal or the Materials where you breach these Terms. Where the breach is capable of being remedied, we will tell you what the issue is and give you a reasonable opportunity to remedy it before terminating, unless the breach is serious enough that this is not appropriate.

 

Termination of Site or Portal access does not by itself terminate a Consultancy Engagement. Termination of an Engagement is governed by the Engagement Terms.

 

We may change, withdraw or discontinue Public Content and features of the Sites. Where doing so affects paid work already booked, we will tell you and Section O applies.

 

 

T. Changes to these Terms and to the Sites

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. The version in force is the one published on the Sites, with the date shown at the top. Where a change is material, we will note it on the page.

 

Work already agreed. A change to these Terms does not affect Engagement Terms already agreed. Work already booked continues under the terms in force when it was agreed.

 

Assignment. We may transfer our rights under these Terms. We will not transfer our obligations under an Engagement without your consent, except as part of a transfer of the business as a whole, and only where the receiving party is able to perform them. You may not transfer your rights or obligations without our written consent.

 

 

U. Complaints and disputes

U.1 Talk to us first. Where you have a complaint or a concern, contact us at strategy@legallyshecan.com. We will respond and try to resolve it directly. Most matters are resolved at this stage, and this step applies before either of us starts proceedings.

 

U.2 Business Users. Where you are a Business User and a dispute cannot be resolved under U.1, the dispute is finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss Arbitration Centre.

• The seat of the arbitration is Zurich, Switzerland.
• The language of the arbitration is English.
• The tribunal consists of one arbitrator.
• The costs of the arbitration are allocated by the tribunal in accordance with the Swiss Rules.

 

You understand that arbitration involves costs which are advanced by the parties, and that the arbitral award is final and binding.

 

U.3 Intellectual property. Notwithstanding U.2, either party may bring proceedings relating to the infringement, misuse or unauthorised use of intellectual property, and any application for interim or injunctive relief, before the ordinary courts. The courts of Zurich, Switzerland have jurisdiction, and we may also bring such proceedings before any court with jurisdiction over the person concerned.

 

U.4 Consumers. Where you are a Consumer, U.2 does not apply. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts. The courts of Zurich, Switzerland have jurisdiction, and you may also bring proceedings at the court of your place of residence where the law gives you that right.

 

 

V. Governing law

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

 

Where you are a Consumer resident outside Switzerland, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence.

 

 

W. General

Relationship between documents. For paid work: the Engagement Terms first, then these Terms. For Digital Resources: the Digital Resource terms first, then these Terms. For everything else: these Terms.

 

No other agreement. Except as set out above, these Terms are the entire agreement between us in relation to your use of the Sites and Public Content.

 

Severability. Where a provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force, and the affected provision is to be interpreted so far as possible to give effect to its purpose.

 

No waiver. Where we do not enforce a provision, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

 

 

If you have any questions about these Terms, contact us at strategy@legallyshecan.com.
