Terms and conditions

1. Identification and acceptance

These terms govern access to and use of the Apta Legal website, a trade name used by Matías Vukusic, a lawyer with a professional address in Santiago, Chile (the “Operator”).

By browsing the website, downloading materials, submitting information or requesting a consultation, the user confirms that they have read and accepted these terms. A person acting on behalf of an organization represents that they have sufficient authority to do so.

2. Website scope

The website presents Apta Legal professional services and demonstrative tools relating to portfolios, digital protection, evidence, agreements and legal execution. Unless expressly stated otherwise, content is informational, demonstrative and commercial.

Displayed demos and tools may be under development, vary by jurisdiction, depend on third-party sources or require configuration, professional review and additional services.

3. No automatic legal advice

Information, scores, matches, summaries, drafts and recommendations generated or displayed by the website do not by themselves constitute a legal opinion, authenticity certification or final determination of infringement.

No attorney-client relationship is formed solely through use of the website, submission of an inquiry or receipt of a preliminary response. Such relationship will exist only upon execution of the relevant engagement and compliance with applicable professional rules.

4. Service contracting

Services, coverage, sources, territories, deadlines, deliverables, fees, responsibilities and limitations will be defined in a separate proposal, order form or agreement. In case of conflict, that document will prevail over these terms.

Certain actions may require a separate legal engagement, local counsel, investigators, experts, notaries, translators, industrial property agents or other providers.

5. Artificial intelligence and human review

Apta Legal may use artificial intelligence, computer vision, OCR, text analysis, classification models and other automated tools to support its work. These technologies may produce false positives, omissions, incomplete results or interpretations requiring verification.

Users must not make an accusation, report, takedown, court filing or other material decision solely on an automated output. Material decisions require appropriate human review and consideration of the circumstances.

6. User-submitted materials

Anyone submitting trademarks, images, documents, URLs, screenshots, seller information, communications or other materials represents that they are authorized to do so and that processing for evaluation or service delivery does not infringe third-party rights.

The Operator may use such materials only to answer the inquiry, prepare a proposal, conduct an authorized demonstration, provide contracted services, protect security and comply with legal duties. Professional confidentiality applicable to an engagement will also be governed by the relevant agreement.

7. Permitted use

The website may not be used to:

• conduct unlawful investigations, harass, threaten or improperly monitor individuals;
• obtain, infer or disclose personal data without a legitimate basis;
• submit false, misleading or manifestly unfounded reports;
• circumvent security, scrape content at scale or interfere with operation;
• copy, resell or exploit the website, demos or materials outside the granted authorization;
• violate intellectual property, confidentiality, privacy or applicable law.

8. Third-party platforms and sources

The services and demonstrative tools may analyze or link to public information from trademark offices, marketplaces, social networks, registrars, search engines, app stores and other third parties. Those services have their own rules, availability and systems, which the Operator does not control.

The Operator does not guarantee that a source will remain accessible, that a platform will accept a report, that content will be removed or that an authority or court will reach any particular decision.

9. Intellectual property

The website, software, design, taxonomies, workflows, text, compilations, models, documentation and graphic elements belong to the Operator or its licensors. Access does not transfer ownership or grant any license beyond the limited use required to browse, review the demos and evaluate the services.

Trademarks, images and products shown in illustrative cases are generic, fictional or used solely to explain a workflow. They do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, authenticity or actual infringement.

10. Confidentiality and security

The Operator will apply reasonable measures to protect information received. No digital transmission or storage is completely infallible. Critical trade secrets, sensitive data or specially restricted information should not be submitted before appropriate channels and terms are agreed.

For contracted engagements, security, access, retention, backup, subprocessors and incident-response standards will be defined according to the nature and risk of the service.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The website is provided “as is” and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator does not warrant absolute accuracy, exhaustive coverage, uninterrupted availability, absence of errors or fitness for a particular purpose.

Estimates, demonstrations and examples are not performance commitments or promises of outcomes.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator will not be liable for decisions made without professional review, indirect losses, loss of profits, data, reputation or business, or actions or omissions of platforms, authorities, providers or third parties.

Where a services agreement exists, liability will be governed by its limitations and exclusions. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be limited.

13. Links and communications

The website may contain links to email, GitHub, reference sources, professional profiles and other websites. Use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies.

Sending an email or message does not guarantee immediate receipt or compliance with legal deadlines. Deadlines for oppositions, appeals, reports or actions must be confirmed through a formal engagement.

14. Changes and availability

The Operator may modify the website, its features, these terms and available materials. The published version will state its update date. Material changes affecting registered users or clients will be communicated under the applicable agreement.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Chile, without prejudice to applicable mandatory rules. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, disputes will be submitted to the ordinary courts with jurisdiction in Santiago, Chile.
