Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the website at capi.legal and the related technology platform (together, the "Platform"), as well as the legal services made available through it.

The Platform is operated in connection with ROBERTO PITAGUARI GERMANOS SOCIEDADE INDIVIDUAL DE ADVOCACIA ("RPG Advocacia", "RPG", "we", "us"), a law firm registered with the Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB), enrolled under CNPJ No. 67.677.694/0001-77 and with OAB/SP No. 69.175, with registered offices in São Paulo (capital).

By accessing the Platform or requesting any service through it, you ("Client", "you") agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

The Platform and the services are offered exclusively to legal entities (pessoas jurídicas) and to individuals acting in a business capacity, for purposes related to their business activity. The Platform is not intended for personal, household, or family use.

By using the Platform, you represent that you are duly authorized to bind the entity on whose behalf you act, and that you are at least 18 years old.

The services are intended for Clients located in Brazil, and are provided in accordance with Brazilian law.

The relationship has two distinct components, which you should read carefully because they are governed differently.

3.1. The technology platform (provided free of charge during the test period). During the current test launch phase, RPG provides you with access to an AI-assisted technology Platform that helps you more easily prepare, organize, and draft materials. This Platform is made available free of charge during the test period. It is a tool to assist you; it is not, by itself, the provision of legal services, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

3.2. The legal service (provided by RPG Advocacia). Separately from the Platform, RPG provides legal services consisting of the review, correction, validation, and finalization of the materials you prepare, and of other legal tasks you may request and that we accept. These legal services are always performed and delivered under the responsibility of a lawyer duly enrolled with the OAB. The attorney-client relationship, and the professional and ethical duties that come with it, arise only with respect to these legal services, upon their engagement as described in Section 5.

3.3. The two are independent. Use of the free Platform does not obligate you to engage RPG's legal services, and engaging the legal services is a separate step with its own conditions and pricing.

The Platform uses artificial intelligence to assist in preparing materials. You acknowledge and agree to the following.

4.1. Preliminary, AI-assisted output is not legal advice. Any draft, suggestion, summary, or preliminary information generated by the AI and shown to you before a lawyer's review is automated output produced by an AI model, and does not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion. It may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, and must not be used as a final work product or considered a product of legal practice.

4.2. Final legal work is always human-reviewed. Any document, opinion, recommendation, or other work product that takes the form of a final legal document, solution, advice, or guidance is reviewed and validated by a qualified lawyer before it is delivered to you as such. Only this lawyer-reviewed work product constitutes legal advice and engages RPG's professional responsibility.

4.3. Your responsibility. You are responsible for reviewing all materials, for the accuracy and completeness of the information and documents you provide, and for any decision you make. AI-assisted drafts do not replace your own judgment or the lawyer's review.

5.1. Case-by-case pricing. The Platform is free during the test period. RPG's legal services are priced on a per-document or per-task basis. Because each matter differs, fees are determined on a case-by-case basis, with the assistance of our internal AI tools to estimate scope and responsibilities, and are communicated to you directly before the relevant work begins. In accordance with applicable rules, fees are agreed privately between you and RPG and are not published on the Platform.

5.2. Approval before work. No fee-bearing legal service is performed until you have been informed of the applicable fee and have approved the engagement.

5.3. Currency. All fees are quoted and payable in Brazilian Reais (BRL).

5.4. Payment. Payments are processed through Asaas. Payment terms for each engagement are those communicated to you at the time of approval.

5.5. No subscription. The services are not offered on a subscription basis, and no automatic renewal or recurring charge applies.

6.1. Which rules apply. Because what you pay is a legal fee (and not a consumer purchase), this Section follows the Brazilian Civil Code rules on mandate and provision of services (arts. 473, 682, I, 593 to 609, and 653 to 692), the Statute of the Legal Profession and the OAB (Law No. 8,906/94), and the OAB Code of Ethics and Discipline. The Código de Defesa do Consumidor does not apply to this relationship.

6.2. You can cancel whenever you want. You may end the engagement of a legal service at any time, without having to give a reason (Civil Code, arts. 473 and 682, I). This does not waive payment for the work already done up to the cancellation, calculated in proportion to what was performed (art. 17 of the OAB Code of Ethics). The law does not allow us to charge you a fixed penalty for cancelling, only what has in fact already been done.

6.3. How we calculate the proportional amount. Each service goes through stages (for example: request received, work started, draft ready, delivery completed). The more advanced the stage at the moment of cancellation, the larger the portion of the fee already owed. The table of stages and the percentages applicable to each type of service are described in our Refund and Cancellation Policy, available on the Platform and forming part of these Terms. That table is always communicated to you together with the price, before you approve the service (Section 5.2).

6.4. Service delivered with a problem. If you point out an objective defect in the delivered material (something incorrect, incomplete, or different from what was requested), we correct it at no additional cost. Disagreeing with the content of a well-founded opinion or legal guidance is not a defect, and does not give a right to correction or refund.

6.5. Billing error. A duplicate charge, or a charge for a service that was never started, is always corrected and refunded in full, in the form in which it was paid, regardless of any stage.

6.6. Screening before accepting the matter. Before assigning a lawyer, we assess whether the request is lawful, ethical, and within our area of practice. We may decline a request at this stage, at our discretion and without having to give a reason, exactly as any lawyer may decline a matter before accepting it. In that case, any amount paid is refunded in full.

6.7. How and when we return the money. The standard form of return, the timeframes, and the accepted payment methods are described in our Refund and Cancellation Policy. Billing errors (Section 6.5) take priority and are always refunded in full, in the form originally paid.

6.8. What is never refunded. We do not refund amounts paid to third parties on your behalf (for example, court costs, registration fees, and notarial charges), nor amounts relating to your disagreement with the merits of a well-founded opinion.

6.9. If we are the ones to end your matter. If RPG or an associated lawyer needs to withdraw from a matter already accepted, we will notify you with reasonable advance notice and continue handling the matter for the following 10 days, unless another lawyer takes over sooner (art. 5, §3, of the Statute of the Legal Profession). Unlike you, we cannot simply stop from one moment to the next.

6.10. If we cannot reach an agreement. Billing complaints go to our support channel. Complaints about the content of legal work are reviewed by a responsible RPG lawyer. You always retain the right to bring the matter before the Juizado Especial Cível or, for professional-conduct matters, the OAB Ethics and Discipline Tribunal, without prejudice to the forum in Section 14.

7.1. Ownership. You retain all rights to the documents and information you upload or provide ("Client Content"). You grant RPG authorization to use Client Content solely to provide the Platform and the services to you.

7.2. Use limited to your matter. Documents you upload are used only within the AI model runs that serve you, as a knowledge base for generating your own materials. We use them to deliver the service to you and for no unrelated purpose.

7.3. No model training. We do not use your Client Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Your documents are used only within the runs that generate output for your specific matter.

7.4. Privacy and data protection. Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, available on the Platform, which forms part of these Terms. We process personal data in accordance with the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Lei nº 13.709/2018).

7.5. Data hosting. Client Content and personal data are hosted on infrastructure located in Brazil, which may be operated by global service providers offering Brazil-based hosting (for example, infrastructure such as Supabase hosted in Brazil). Further detail is provided in the Privacy Policy.

7.6. Professional confidentiality. Information you share in connection with RPG's legal services is protected by the professional confidentiality (sigilo profissional) owed by lawyers under Brazilian law.

You agree not to: (a) use the Platform for any unlawful or unethical purpose, or to prepare materials intended to further illegal activity; (b) upload content you are not authorized to share, or that infringes third-party rights; (c) attempt to access, scrape, reverse-engineer, disrupt, or compromise the Platform or its security; (d) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Platform or its output without our written consent; or (e) use the Platform to develop a competing product or to train any AI model.

The Platform, including its software, design, and underlying technology, and all related intellectual property, belong to RPG and its licensors. These Terms do not transfer any of those rights to you. The work product delivered to you in connection with a legal engagement is yours to use for the purposes of your matter, subject to payment of the applicable fees.

To the extent permitted by applicable law: the free Platform is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind regarding availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. AI-assisted output is subject to the limitations described in Section 4. Nothing in this Section limits the professional responsibility that RPG assumes with respect to the human-reviewed legal services it actually delivers, which responsibility is governed by Brazilian law and the OAB rules.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and without prejudice to the professional liability that RPG bears under Brazilian law and OAB rules for legal services it delivers:

(a) RPG shall not be liable for any damages or lost profits arising from use of the free Platform or from any AI-assisted output that has not been reviewed and delivered by a lawyer;

(b) RPG's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to a given legal engagement shall not exceed the fees actually paid by you to RPG for that engagement, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Brazilian law.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform without prior notice. Suspension will also occur if you breach these Terms or use the Platform unlawfully. You may stop using the Platform at any time. Termination does not affect rights and obligations accrued before termination, including fees due for services already performed, assessed in accordance with Section 6, and the provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6, 7, 9, 11, and 14) will survive.

The Platform is in a test launch phase and may change. We may update these Terms; the version in force is the one published on the Platform, identified by the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated on the Platform. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The parties elect the courts of the Comarca of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, as the competent forum to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms, to the exclusion of any other, however privileged.

These Terms are made available in English and in Portuguese. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the Portuguese version shall prevail, as it is the version governing the relationship under Brazilian law.
