Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using LegalCalc.au ("the Website"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the Website.

2. Nature of Service

LegalCalc.au provides a free online estimation tool for calculating approximate litigation costs in Australia. The Website:

• Does not provide legal advice
• Is not a law firm or legal practice
• Does not create a solicitor-client relationship
• Provides estimates only based on published fee schedules and industry averages

3. Disclaimer of Accuracy

While we strive to maintain accurate and current fee data, actual litigation costs may vary significantly due to:

• Individual fee agreements with legal practitioners
• Case-specific complexities and unforeseen complications
• Changes to court fee schedules between our updates
• Jurisdictional variations and local rules
• Judicial discretion in cost orders

Always obtain a written cost agreement from a qualified legal practitioner before proceeding with litigation.
